coined help FROM the United
States.
9Th. Spain officially proclaimed
q cessation Of hostilities in Cuba.

THE COURIER'S JEFfERSONIAN
MAXIMS.

Our first, and fundamental max.
i'm should be never to entsngle
ouselves In the broils Of Europe,
Our second never to suffer Eu.
rope to NEEDLE with cisatlsntic
affairs.
That we should wish to see the
people Of other countries free, il
rs natural, or at least as justifiable
as that one king should wish to
see the kings of other countries
maintained 10 their despotism.
No other repositories Of power
than the people have ever yet
been found which did not end in
converting to their own profit the
earnings OF those committed to
their charge.
A government is republican In
proportion as every member CON-
.".i.r.it he's eonsl voice. in the
direction OF its concerns, by rep
resentatives chosen by himself
and responsible to him at short
periods.
If ever this vast country 10
brought under Q single govern.
ment, 1t will be one Of the most
extensive corruptions. indi fferent
and incapable OF wholesome care
over so wide a spread Of surface.
Political disseDsiOn 10 Q lesser
evil than the lethargy of despot.
lam, but still II is a great evil, and
II would be as worthy the efforts
Of the patriot "a Of the philosopher
to exclude its influence, IL posi-.
BILE, from social life.
Each generation is as indepen.
dent of the one preceding as that
was Of all which had gone before.
II has. then, like them, q right to
choose for itself the form Of gov.
eminent it believes most promo.
tive of Its own happiness.
Every man, and every body OF
men on earth, possesses the right
Ofselfgovernment. They receive
It with their being from the hand
Of nature. Individuals exercise
1t by their single will; collections
Of men by that Of their mai GRITTY
for the law of the majority is the
neutral law of every society of
men.
The day is not distant when we
may require meridian Of parti.
ton through the ocean winch
separates the two hemispheres,
on the hither side, Of which no
European gun shall ever be heard
nor an American on the other;
and when during the rage Of the
eternal wars OF Europe, the lion
and the lamb, within our regions,
shall lie down together IN peace.
(Origon of the Monroe doctrine.)
As to the the tariff, ] should
say put down all banks OF issue,
admit none but q metallic circula-
ton that will take Its proper lev

er countries, and then our manu-.
factures may WORK In fair compe.

the government may lay for the
