any dogma OF theory a doctrine OF the

the United States. That is our ma
tlonal law-making power. and. it and 1t
alone, can make any theory or idea
a part of our national policy.
No Congress has ever yet made the

dent Monroe. as his idea of what our
national policy should be, and several
Administrations since his have declared
to European powers their opinion that
this country would adopt ii and act upon
1t when an occasion for action arises.
But Il has never yet been adopted as q
part Of our national policy by the au-

can make IL a part OF our national poll
cy-the Congress of the United States.
our own opinion is that. while there is
a great deal OF talk amongst jingoists

TO the Editor Of The Times:

in regard 10 Tie Democratic cOnven-
lion held at Isle of Wight Courthouse

and misstatements that surely Isle OF

At any rate. he saw things through srch
jaurdiccd eyes tina, the Simple truth
Din Larm which he lands Sc highly was
badly perverted.
He SAYS that two young men. unau-
thorized proceeded 10 count the Pierce
men, &c. &c. The statement is absolutely
incorrect, FOR the clerk OF the couTen-
ton. DR.. Pierce Mr.. Folk. and others
are prepared 10 certify that we were
regularly appointed tcilcrs for the Pierce
men. AZ the same time and in the same
manner. that tellcrs were appointed for
the Boykin men.
We were told to count the men. ara
were doing So in as orderly and correct
"A manner as possible. when the Boykin
tellers rushed over 10 our side OF the
courthouse yard. declaring the count
illegal. demanding new count &c.
&c. All Of which we took 10 be trick
Of political "bulldozing," 10 which we
had no idea of submitting.
isle Of Wight" says he can prove b.
the most conservative men that .Our-
fifths of the crowd were Boykin men,"
He can do no such thing. and he ought
to know il. unless he be an IDIOT and
his judgment completely blinded by preju-
dice. Look at these figures: The Boy
kin tellers reported 40 mon counted for
him: then. according to isle Of Wight's'
statement. Or. Pierce ought TO have had
only 10 men.

the fact is that the CROWD must rave

now. i'm discussing It. YOU hear Boykin
n,en saving they believe Pierce hal the
majority. and Pierce men saying they
believe Boykin had the majority? such
a statement is nonsense.
The statement thai = man named M
told a man named "T." that the tell
ers jumped from thirty-threc TO eighty
three" &c. &C. we had proposed 20
consider as 2 piece OF political "bosh, ~
I'm keeping with great deal OF a similar
nature used during the campaign. but
since isle Of Wight has. with no con-
sideration for M" dragged II into the
public press, we pronounce IL absolutely
false. and stand prepared TO prove II by
the corroborative evidence OF dozens OF
good men and true.
We have made diligent inquiry. and
among the dozens Of men Immediately
around us during the count have failed
to find a single one who corroborates this
statement.
The simple assertion OF one man. IN
sustained. will not obtain against the
corroborative testimony of dozens TO the
contrary. Your man M" is simply
mistaken. under the most charitable con-
struction that can be placed on his state
ment.

gently about the Revolutionary war or
the foundation OF this government with
