These communications present sense of human suffering and miser which cannot iail‘to excite the‘sympathies of all civilized no; "one. From these and other sources of information. it appears that the Indians at Yucatan are Waging a' war of extermina tion against the white race. in this civil‘ war they spare neither age,.~nor sex. but put to death, indiscriminaté§aii who fall within their power. The inh itants. pan ic stricken.‘ and destitute oi aims. are tly ing before their enemy; and their extermi natioti’~would seem to be inevitable. unless they can obtain assistance. In this con-‘ tlition they have. through their constitu ted authbrities, implored the. aid til this government to save thetn ltom tiestlruci tion; otfering. in case this should be gran ted."to transier the dominion and sove reignty oi the Peninsula to the U.. States. Similar appeals lor aid and protection. have been made to the Spanish and the English governments. >\'l‘hilst it is not my puipose to recommend the adoption of ‘any measure with a View to the acquisi tion at dominion and sovereignty over-Nu ‘eatan. yet, according to our established policy, we could not consent toa transfer of this dominion and sovereignty. either to Spain. Great Britain, or to any other Eu ropean power. In the language of Presi' dent Monroe, in his message of December. 1828, we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion ofthis hemisphere. as dangerous to'bur peace and safety. in my annuali message of December. 1845. i declared that nearly a quarter of a centurv ago the principlehwasdistinctly announced to-the world. in the annual message at one of ray predecessors. that the American continent. by the free & independent condition which it has assumed and maintained, is hence forth not ‘to be considered a subject for . future colonication by any European pow-j er. _This principle will apply with great ‘ly.iucreased force should any European power attempt to establish any new colo. sly itkNorth America. In the exrsting cirsn stances oi the world. the present is deemed: proper occasion to reiterate andreatfirrn the principle avowed by Mr. ‘ . Monroe, and to state my cordial concur rencavin its wisdom and sound policy.— The reassertion of this principle. especial. lyin reference to North America.‘~is, at this day. but the promulgation ofa policy whiehno European power should cherish the disposition" to resist. The existing rights oi every European nation should be respeethd; but it is due alike to our sate 'ty and our interest. that the efficient pro tection of our laws should be extended 0- Vet, ,our whole territorial limits 5 "audit should be distinctly announced to the world as our settled policy, that no future European colony ordominiou shall. with our consent, be planted oi established on any part of the North American continent. VOurown-security requires that the estab ‘lished policy thus announced should guide our gondupt, and this applies with great force to the Peninsula tit Yucatan. It is situate in the guiiof Mexico, on the North American continent, and from its vicini , ty to Cuba. to the Capes at Florida. to New Orleans. and.' indeed to ‘our whole south-western coast. it would be danger ous to our peace and Security it it should becomes colony oi any European nation. We have now, authentic 'inlormation that if the aid netted ‘irorn the U. States be’notgranted. such aid will probably bei “obtained from some European power,l which may 'lierepiter assert claim to do-; million and sovereignty over Yucatan.—‘ Oiir existing relations with Yucatan are . ol 'a-pecuiisr character, as will be perce_is-_ ed iron the note of the'Secretary to their commiisioner. dated on the 24th of Def; ‘jcembes‘last, a'copy of‘shich 'ii'rhere'with" transmitted.
