THE MOM'.OL DtKTKI^E. In his annual meaaag* to Coagress, ! made iu December, '23 President Monroe enunciated what ha* ainre been fajmiliar'y denominated 'the Monroe dojirine.' It wee made witb reference to . ihe then fiweetiled condilien uf affairs iu the Sooth American Slates, struggling 1 for independence ; ai d was to tbe effect that the Government uf the Uuited ; States would not regard with indifference any attempt ou tbe part of Euro- 1 pean govarumeoie to propagate * European system on this conyiueut. The j doctrine was bailed at the time with apunlaovout and besrty applause by tba people otf the United S laics. The sentiment was promulgated during 'tbe era ; of good feeling,' when ell party bicker- . ing had been hushed into silence; it was *s worthy tbe giaul youug He- , public, then pulling ou tbe panoply of tnauhoud ; and waa at the time attributed to the world renowaetl slatesniau> 1 John (j lincy Adams, Mr: M on rut's pre ; tnier. The sratimeut was held of pri4 - • mary importance at the time and during ; ail tbe subsequent mutations ol parly, no ; attempt nas been made to recall or di* ' late it. And thus, for more than forty j years, it haa stood upon the record; a ; notice and Wanting to whom it may concern And w* the 'doctriue' assumes an 1 ' uowonled consequence, wbeo by force 1 i of European arum, a foreign Prince is sought to be imposed upon the people , of a Isrge portion of t hia continent, and a monarchy established upon the ruins | of • republic, crushed by the force of : such foreign arm*. Under these eircum- , stance* it were craven baseness for tbe •.iovrrnment of the United Htatcs to stand mute with folded arms. If the Government should withhold its stern rj protest, the very stones would cry opt • against the proceedings. Bol the Go- : vernmer.t it nal thus derelict.
