I requires that iho established policy thus announced should guide oar conduct, and (Ins opplios with great force lo Iho peninsula of Yucatan.’ 1 li would bo a mere wssle of time to comment upon these views of Mr. Polk. They speak for themselves with equal force and clearness, and they were avowed more than a quarter of a century after Mr. Monroe had promulgated his doctrine, ihus con sidered by Mr. Polk ns the permanent American policy. The principles it asserts are perpetual in their obligation, and tiro policy itself challenges our Attention and enforcement, lo all lime, present and to come. It is now said that this Monroe doctrine, so fur as I respects Iho independent Stales of the continent, embalmed, as it was and is. in the hearts of the American people, instead of being a great system of policy as enduring as our political condition, was but s temporary measure, applicable only to iho sn ticipilcd designs of the “Holy Alliance,” as it was unholxly colled, lo restore Iho recent emancipated American Slates to the dominion ofSpain. Jnslood of being a great principle of aclioo, worthy of this Republic, it would thus become a mere expedient, passing away with iho occasion that called it into being. Whether this be so or not is a question which dues not touch tho subject before the Senate, for that' must be determined upon its own merits, and nut opon tho authority of names, never, however, to bo slightly regarded; but it louchcs the fume of Mr. Monroo os a practical and enlightened statesman, for such ho iroly was; but upon this construction of his views ho did not comprehend the consequence of Ins I own positions, and could not see that the grounds r>( 1 his n ■ Ij/'-V rttonHuH h/>vnnd iho fllljfflc QaSO IIICO more I immediately before him. Ills principles were un questionably called out by the peculiar danger of the South American Stales, and by tho claims of Russia on our northern coast. These circumstance* l tod him to this investigation into tho principles of our position will) respect lo this continent, and tho result wo have in this far-ftinied message. . And generally, it happens in the policy of nations (hat particular exigencies call forth tho discussion and assertion of great principles; but while iho for mer dls ppoor in fllo march of events, Wto Utter re main to bo reasserted and maintained, under all cir cumstances lo which they aro applicable. As the foundation of his doctrine, ho assumed the then exist, ing atatiit or condition of tho continent, disclaiming all intention of interfering with existing rights, but maintaining principles which denied the Powers of Eurnpe tho assumption lo interfere with any inde pendent Stale at any lime thereafter, or oven plant or establish new colonics. Upon these general prln ciplos, European influence might decrease in this hemisphere, but could nul increase; fur tndeponeenoe once obtained, then and thereafter the Stales so ob taining it passed from tho danger nf European sub jugation, and would he beyond Iho reach, not of Sp-iin merely, but of Franco, or England, or any jollier transatlantic Power. And 1 may remark here, as a proof (bat Mr. Monroo considered both of the topics in his message but parts of one plan of policy .that in the anti-colonisation passage he makes no reservation of existing colonial rights, but declares that those would bo respected, in that part of the message whore ho protests against tho subjugation of (he Spanish Slates, thus allowing the inlirmto relation of the whole subject in his mind. This in quiry into the origin of this doctrine belongs, in truth, lo tho domain of history, and not lo that bf our permanent policy; for the name of the doctrine, | whether Monroo, or Pulk, or Jefferson, or yet better, I American, matters little ; tho (rue question being wholly it shall bo enforced now and hereafter. But Wh Monroo, in his message of December, 1824, a year after Iho one containing the views re ferred to, renewed tho subject, and in such language as leaves no doubt but (hat this doc-hunk, In his view of it, was perpetual, and to bo made part of our national code of policy. lie said {—“Separated as wo are from Europe by the groat Atlantic ocean, we can have no concern in the wars of tho European Governments, nor in tho causes which produce them. Tho balance of power between (hem, Into whichever scale it may (urn, in its various vibrations, cannot effect us. It is the interest of the United Slates to preserve the most friendly relations with every Pow. | er, and on conditions fair equal and applicable (o all. | But in regard to our neighbors our situation is dif ferent. It is impossible for tho European Govern ments lo interfere in their conootos,especially in those alluded to, which are vital, without affecting _ us.— Indeed, tho motive which might induce such inter ference in tho present slate of Iho war between the parlies, if a t&ar it may bo called, would appear cqu. ally applicable lo us.” Now,it will bo seen dial those principles had no peculiar relation lo tho “Holy Alliance,*-’ as it Is con tended those of the first message had, but they ex tended to all lime, and to all the European Govern ments. Indeed, wo (earn from Mr. Clay, in some remarks made in (ho House of Representatives In Juno, 1624, that (he fcor of the notion of that alli ance upon those Stales hsd given way, and "that If such a ptirposo wore over seriously entertained, it had been relinquished." Mr. Monroe, In fact,in the pssvage from which tho above extract is taken, con* eiders tho condition of these States much improved and strengthened, and his observations evidently bear upon future difficulties, not (hen furseon, but which might happen, and would thon.have to be met.

Our Aral and fundamental maxim should be, never (o entangle ourselves in the broils of 7 Europe. Our second, never to suffer Europe to intermeddle with cisatlantic affaire. America, North end South, lias a set of interests distinct from those o( Europe, and peculiarly Iter own. 8110 should, therefore, have a system of her own, separate and apart from that of Europe; the last is laboring to become the domicil of despotism—our.ondeavor should surely bo to make our hemisphere that of freedom." Can one man bo found who will contend that these noble sentiments, worthy of him who uttered them, and now become a precious legacy for the American people,—can one man, I my, be found, wtio will venture to contend (hat those words of wis* dom and patriotism ore temporary in their force and application, belonging only to the passing hour, and confined to the efforts of a league, which, 1 believe, died before the writer, short even as was his tenure of life 7 Tims, to narrow down a great national principle, is wholly to mistake the and fur-reaching policy of this, the greatest of American statesmen, after the first and the dearest, Washing ton. “His ocean of lime opening upon us 11 was bounded by no such oontma'od limits. It was a true ocean, and not a more duck pond. And (ii(s*«ime letter of Mr. Jefferson exhibits, in a still mure signal manner, the vast importance lie attached to (his principle ofnever suffering “Europe to intermeddle with cisatlantic affairs.'* Why, sir, he was actually ready, even then, to go to war for Us practical maintenance. Ho was far ahead of all of us, and I must confess that 1 have seldom been more gratified, than to find myself thus not only supported, but anticipated by a name which will live in the hearts of the American people as Iflng os they cherish a reverence for real patriotism, true Democracy, end llio highest qualities of oar nature, ennobled by a life devoted to his country. I can paw stand' proudly upon this position, pointing la Mr. Jefferson's declaration, that ho was willing to fight even olong side of Kngtjnd in such a cause “not thal I would purchase," lie says. “her umily at the price of war. Out the war in which the present proposition might engage us, should (hat be its oorT sequence, is not her war, hut ours. Its object is to introduce and establish (he American system of keeping out of our land all foreign Powers, of nev er, (not to day.) of never permitting those of Europe to intermeddle with the offnra of our nation. It is to maintain our own principle, not to depart from it.” Any question of the justice or expediency of the first of ihcso resolutions, I may hereafter cnnsid cr a quest ioa bcl ween (he objector and Mr. Jefferson and not one between (lie funner and myself. The opinion of Mr. Adams, who of course could not but understand (ho views of Mr. Monroe, as lie wns then Secretory of Slate, and of Mr Clay, who look a deep interest in this matter, and introduced a a juinl resolution into Iho House of Representatives on the 29(h of January, 1824, affirming the non in* tcrfcrence doctrine of Mr. Monroe, are distinctly shown in (he instruction of Mr. Adams to Mr. Poin* sett, dated March 25,1625, wherein Mr. Monroe's message and principles arc referred to, and their ex isting force assorted and assumed. Mr. Clay, white reporting these instructions of Mr. Adams, for trans mission to the House of Representatives, observes, ” That all apprehension of the danger to which Mr. Monroe alludes, of an interference by the allied , Powers, (otherwise the “Holy Alliance,’*) lo intro ■ ducu their political systems into this hemisphere,[ have ceased.” But notwithstanding this, in those i instructions (a Mr. Poinsett, ho is told that (he great! principle of non interference “was declared in the face of the world” (by Mr. Monroe) “at a moment [ when there was reason lo opiuchcnU mm ‘ l,c u ’”r'; rowers Were \A~tg.. I «oinei freedom, If not to the independence of iho new Gov-| ernments. There is reason to believe that the doc- . Urulbn ofrl bad considerable effect in preventing the maturity, if not in producing the abandonment, of ult such designs. Both principles (this and Iho out I colonies linn one) wcreliid down after much and anxious deliberation on the part of the Mo Ad ministration. The President (Mr. Adams continu es,) who then formed a pari of it, entirely coincides in both, and you wilt urge upon the Government of Mexico the utility and expediency of osacrling the same principles on all proper occasions.” What principles? Not a single one so narrow and temporary, as to be confined to a more passing occurrence, lo a league which had as much passed away from any operation on this continent as the Grecian league for the destruction of Troy. If Mr. Adams end Mr. Clay did not wholly misunderstand Mr. Monroe's doctrine, it was precisely the doctrine enunciated In the resolution before the Senate.— Ono fact staled by Mr Clay upon llio authority of Mr. Adomi, shows, that this declaration of Mr. Mon roo vvys a Cabinet measure, fully considered, nnd no doubt amply discussed. Indeed, wjihool this ou lliorlly, judging from the cautious character of Mr. Monroe, it wou'd hive been ssfo to conclude, that so important a slop would not lure been taken by him without consultation with hit confidential advi sers. And especially, oi il is kn twn that hla mes sofes, before being sent to Congress, were always rend, and, if occasion required, discussed paragraph by paragraph, at Cabinet mootings ; and such indeed was llio practice of his predecessors. Mr. Clay stales that the declaration of Mr. Mon roe had been useful. Still its deficiency was limited by thu considerations already adverted to, that it was the ocl only of the Executive Department, which could not pledge the nation to any particular course of policy. Congress alone could do that; and the propriety of its action was so obvious, that both Mr. Clay and Mr. Poinsett Introduced resolutions into the House of Representatives affirming the doctrine. It is probable that the reason given by Mr. Clay for not pushing the one presented by him to a final vote, operated also on others; and that was that the apprehended danger from the "Holy Alliance” h'd disappeared, and 1 suppose, (hen,as now, the diffi culty of carrying such a measure Increased, as the cause of apprehension decreased. Wo’stoppod short m our true work, and waited for another expedient before proclaiming a principle. Mr. Jefferson also, with his sound practical wisdom, saw that Mr. Mon roe** declaration, in order to obtain Us objcnl, needed the support and snthofUy of Congress ; sod ho,there fore recommended to him In the letter nlroody re ferred to, that "as It may load to wor, the declara tion nf which requires on ocl of Congress, (ho case shall bo laid before him for consideration at their first meeting, end under the reasonable aspect in in which it I* seen by himself,” (the President.) With respect to Cuba, 1 nn glad to bo able (o fortify my position by tho opinion of both Mr. Jef ferson and Mr. Clay. No man will now accuse either of those distinguished stotesmon with being influenced by any other motive than a love of coun try, and a desire In promote her interests In n spirit of justice. Mr. Jefferson, In the same loiter, said "I candidly confess I have over looked on Cuba ss the most interesting addition which could ever bo made to our system nf Slates. The control, which, with Florida Poinl.lhls Island would give us over the Golf of Mexico, nnd tho countries and Isthmus bordering on it. at well at those whoso waters flow into It, would fill up the measure of nnr political well being. Yol ns lam sensible that this can never bo obtained, even with her (Spain's) own consent but by wsr, (ho means a war with England from her opposition to tho measure.) and its independence, ‘ (that of Cubs,] which Is our second interest, tnd es pecially Its Independence of England can bs secured, ' without It, I have no hesitation in abandoning my first wish lo future chances and accepting itsindo pendenco, with peace and the friendship nf England, rstborihan its association (query? accession) at the expense of war nnd her enmity." It Is due to Mr. Jefferson to stale, that at the time ho wrote, free Inetltotlona through (he world seemed to have much to apprehend from this Holy Alliance, and hollering that England was really desirous of thwarting their view*, he was therefore the more willing to not in oonoart with her. .Thirty yeare have produced » wonderful ohango in the world, ainco these remarks of Mr. Jeflbreon. They have produced none in our interest end our destro to procure Cuba when we can do it justly, nor iu or willingness that it should become Indepen dent. But as to any fear that England would oppose us io taking possession of Cubs, under a voluotory arrangement With Spurn, or under any other proper circumstance, it is & fooling which will never, I trust, enter into our public councils, certainly never into the hearts of the American people. Events sines that period have augmented our power la a mighty ratio, and have taught os to use it when our .honor, and Interest require the exertion. Mr. Jefferson, when he wrote (his letter, undoubtedly supposed that Cuba would follow the example of the other Spanish provinces, and become independent. j Mr. Cloy appreciated the importance of Cubs, as I well as of Porto Rico; for we find, in a letter which 1 lie wrote to Mr. Middleton, on (ho QGth of December, 1825, that Ailnistor was directed to inform the Rub. Han Government thot "wo cannot allow the transfer of lhe»o Islands to any European Power," and the same determination was avowed, in still stronger terms, in a dispatch to the American Minister to Paris, to bo made known to the French Government. 1 "that he would no' content to the occupation of those ( islands by any ethos European Power than Spain, under any circumstances whatever. Now, sir, I shall pursue this topic no further, sat isfied that these resolutions are not only just in themselves, but that they assert a system of policy sanctioned by the some of the highpst names in onr political history. It will appear in looking birk lo the extracts 1 have made from the letter of Mr. Jefferson, that I am supported by the weight ol his opinion In the following propositions embodied in or connected with three resolutions: Firs'. That European Powers should not bo per.l milted “to intermeddle with cisatlantic affairs,” moaning thereby those affairs relating to (ho politi- | cal condition of the people of this continent, and accepting ihc reservation of Mr. Monroe that exist ing culonnl rights should not bo interfered with. Second. Time this doctrine should bo adhered to, even, tf ncci-saary, at the expense of war. Third Tint the United Stales have a deep inter est in the acqusilion of Cuba, and (hnl if wo cannot obtain possession of it without too groat a cost of blood or treasure, it must bo secured {especially trom the control of England) by its independence- And wo may add, now, since circumstances hsvo much changed, and the immedbto dangers then impend ing over (ho island have passed away, (hat it may with safety remain in vbo possession of Spain so lung os sne can noio n, ana taKea o« atop u> wnnii it to our injury. Fourth. That it is proper (hat declarations opon these subjects should bo submitted to Congress, in order lo procure t lheir co operation, as without it, such declarations might be fruitless. Fifth. In addition to these propositions, there is onoiher/opioion advanced by Mr-Jefferson in this letter, which 1 confess I have read with unmixed satisfaction, for it confirms in full tho propriety of the proposition which I submitted lo tho Senate si our last sysion, lo dccl-iro or protest against (he utrccious violation of (he rights of nations by Iho Interference of one Power, tho Emperor of Russia, in the internal nff i Ira of another, the Hungarian King dom. Mr. Jefferson's words deserve lo be hold in perpetual remembrance. Horn (hoy oro “Nor is (lie occasion lo ha slighted, which this proposition offers, of declaring our proldsl against I lie atrocious ' violation of (ho right* ul nations, by the interference | of any one in the internal affairs of another, so fla gitiously begun by Bonaparte, gnd now continued | by tho equally lawless ulliunoo, calling itself holy.*' I Hero we have (he principle distinctly asserted of I the propriety of a national protest upon such an oo ' of tYiC iV’d wo have the authority of the very author anlly appealed to7asi session' oe'a Fenson "idf 6o?*lh I action, fur denying its applicability to the cnse;which (Indeed, ought lo have been obvious enongh, without this exposition of doctrine, unless It could bo shown that wo cnul{l form an 01111000 without allies, and that allies are created simply by a protest against an assumption to prostrate a grojl principle of public law winch protected the freedom and in dependence of nations. But wo could not keep on tho line nl political knowledge, and shrink from the responsibility imposed upon us by as the great Republic of the world. Wo now know (hat Mr Jefferson would have voted for the prepe tition had ho then bqon a member of this body.— That is honor enough for those of’us who found oursolvcs in iho minority. iHfflCcltnnroua.
