is the best expositor of his own views. Hear
him. In his annual message of 1824, when
the danger from the HoJy Alliance had passed
away, he said, renewing his recommendation,
that we had no concern with European wars,
but " with regard to our neighbors our situa
tion is different. ft is impossible for. the
European Governments torinterfere in their
concerns, especially in those alluded to, which
are vital, without - affecting us."
Rut, sir, we have another witness to intro
duce, whom no American can hear without
respect and gratitude, the writer of the Dec
laration of Independence, the patriarch of
the Democfatic faith, the statesman and pat
riot, second only to Washington -in the esti
mation of his countrymen. Mr. Monroe,
during his whole Presidency, was in the habit
of .the most confidential communication with
Mr. Jefferson upon all questions of serious
concern. He consulted him upon this sub
ject, and here follows the answer, dated Oc
tober 24, 18,23. • Never were sentiments
sounder in themselves or more beautifully ex
pressed:
"The question presented by the letters you
have sent me is the most momentous, which
has ever been offered to my contemplation,
since that of Independence. That made us a
nation ; this sets our compass, and points the
course, which we are to steer through the ocean
of time. And never could we embark on it un
der circumstances more auspicious. Our first
and fundamental maxim should be, never to en
tangle ourselves in the broils of 'Europe. Our
second, never to suffer Europe to intermeddle
with cis-Atlantic - affairs. America, North and
South, has a set of interests, distinct from those
of Europe, and peculiarly her own. She should,
therefore, have a - system of her own, separate
and apart from that of Europe ; the last is labor
ing to become the domicil of despotism—our en
deavor should surely be to make our hemisphere
that of freedom."
And now there are those, who would mar
the magnificent figure of Mr. Jefferson, by
converting his ocean of time into a mere
duck pond, and his fundamental maxim, nev
er "to suffer Europe to intermeddle with eh:-
Al/antic affairs," into the historical recollec
tion of a temporary project to save our neigh
boring States from a blow aimed at that time
at their safety, and all danger from which
passed away, as suddenly as it has arisen.
And there is another voice from the tomb
which speaks the same confirmatory langu
age, respecting this doctrine--the voice of one
whose memory will live upon the pages of
our bistory,-and in the•hearts- of our country
men, as long as true genius and elevated pat
riotism-shall find admirers.
In 1825, Mr. Clay, then Secretary of State,
in a letter to Mr. Poinsett, says, "that the
then President, Mr. Adams,:who was Secre
tary of State when Mr. Monroe advanced his
doctrine, coincides in 'both principles,' (non
interference and anti-colonization,) which
were laid down after much and anxious de
liberation oft thepart of the late Administra
tion. The President,(Mr. Adams,) who then
formed a part of it, continues to coincide
with both, and you will urge upon the Gov
ernment of Mexico the utility and expedien
cy of asserting, the same principles on all pro
per occasions.'
It is obvious, sir, that Mr. Calhoun was
under a misappreheusion in relation to the
views of Mr. Monroe upon this subject. He
himself stated, that his recollection of it- was
imperfect, and that it was so, is beyond all.
contradiction. He considered that the "de
claration of Mr. Monroe had reference to a
specific case, (the Holy Alliance,) and stop
ped there." "Mr. Monroe," he added, "wa - s
a wise man, and had no design of burdening
the country with a task it could not perform.
He knew there was a broader declaration
made by the gentleman, then -Secretary of
State," &c. What Mr. Calhoun here alluded
to, I profess my inability to comprehend.—
No declaration could well be broader, than
that of Mr.. Monro e -, and whatever agency or
advice Mr. Adams may -have had, or
given in the matter, its responsible paternity
rests upon the Chief Magistrate.. I have rea
son to believe, that Mr. Adams was anxious
for the measure, though his precise share in
itj do not know. Indeed, Mr. Clay, by his
authority, as I have shown, avowed his con
currence in it. But, sir, those who knew
Mr. Monroe well know that lie was entitled to
the character of wisdom, here given to him by
Mr. Calhoun. He was a safe and sagacious
statesman,. cautious in his investigations,
looking narrowly into,every question presen
ting itself, hearinc , all that could be said, and
then deciding for himself, and adhering with
unshaken firmness to his decisions. I knew
him well„ . anci hold. him in remembrance as a
true patriot and a pure one, and the worthy
successor of his personal and political friends,
Jefferson and Madison. The declaration of
Mr. Monroe contained the enunciation of a
general principle, and its application to a par
ticular case, while Mr. Calhoun has confined
it to the latter, divesting it thus of all claim
to the establishment of a great line of policy.
It has been said here more than office, and
I think, though I am not certain, that it was
said by Mr. Calhoun, that the course of ,ac
tion of . Mr. Monroe upon this subject, was
the result of a suggestion made by Mr. °Can
ning to Mr. Rush. ThiS is another, among
the many errors, which seem to have cluster
ed around this whole matter. It is easy to
show this.
As early as July, 1823, Mr. Rush received
from the Department of State a dispatch, con
taininc, the view of the President upon the
Spanish-American question, correspondincr,
substantially, with the ground, subsequently
taken in the message. They were transmit
ted to him, not for any immediate diplomat
ic action, but to put him in possession of the
Government, as circumstances might arise,
rendering it necessary for him to be acquain
ted with them. Mr., RuSh, I understand, had
his first conversation with Mr. Canning, at
the request of the latter,- towards the end of
August in that year; and his dispatches, an
nouncing the result of that, and of other sub
sequent interviews, did not reach Washing
ton until about the middle of November, just
before the opening of Congress, as Mr. Rush
says, in his interesting narrative of this dip
lomatic episode. Now, I have already read
an extract of a letter from Mr. Jefferson to
Mr. Monroe,. dated October 23, 1823, by
which it appears, that the President had com
municated to the retired Patriarch his im
pressions, and probably his intentions, in re
lation to this whole subject, which met, as
we have, seen, the most cordial approbation ;
and I have no doubt but that a similar corres
pondence, with a like approval,took place with
Mr. Madison. It is obvious, that a course,
involving such important principles, and
fraught, it might be, with startling consequen
ces, must have been some time under the
consideration of a cautious statesman, like
Mr. Monroe, before it could assume a shape,
proper to be submitted for the opinion of Mr.
Jefferson. It is clearly impossible, that the
suggestions of Mr. Cannier , could have led
to - the establishment of this doctrine, or to
its promulgation.
Washington News.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 1856. I
Correspondence of the Globe:
The Speaker disappointed the public yes-
terday, by failing to announce the Standing
Committees of the House. Everybody is
anxious Id know the' precise complexion of
the .Committees. The anxiety of some is
traceable to political feeling—that of others
has its origin in the pocket: The Committee
on Elections is the cynosure of all exclusively
political eyes, the seats of half-a-dozen mem
bers being contested, whilst the attention of
those who are on the look-out for plunder is
directed to the Committee on Engraving, &c.,
which, Madam Rumor says, furnishes de
lightful pickings under favorable eh cumstan
ces. I know that Madam Rumor is a great
liar, but when all of her thousand tongueS as
-1 '
sect one thing and proclaim it aloud under
i the dome of the Capitol, with none to contra
; diet, we may assume that the truth is spoken.
In view of an occurrence which must be fresh
in the recollection of all newspaper readers,
Mr. Banks will doubtless exereiee a sound
idiscretion in the arrangement of this Com
! mittee, and place at its head a Chairman
1 whose integrity is above suspicion.
The House Printing is still undecided.—
The vote for Mr. Follet, of Ohio, the anti:
administration caucus candidate, is falling
off. Mr. Wendell's (democrat) has, crept up
a little, but will have to. creep a good deal
higher before he can get in. Mr. Follet's
friends are out of humor and talk of repealing
the elections that have taken place of House
officers. This is a brilliant idea—too bril
liant to be reduced to practice. I think. As
Mr. Follet's friends are not strong enough to
elect their favorite, it is not easy to under
stand how they could repeal the elections
that have taken place. They had better
"come to terms" with the aspirants who
stand in their way, and who can be bought
off with a reasonable share of the profits I
The "Union" of this morning contains a
proclamation by the President, commanding
all persons engaged in unlawful combinations
against the constituted authority of the Terri,
tory of Kansas or of the . United States to dis
perse and retire to their homes, and warning
all such persons that any attempted insurrec
tion in said Territory or aggressive intrusion
into the same, will be resisted not only by
the employment of the local militia, but also
by that of theforces of the United States: It
is to be hoped that this proclamation will
have the effect to prevent further disorders in
Kansas and that the necessity of drawing the
sword against any portion of our own people
will not be forced upon the general govern
ment.
The joint .resolution from the Senate appro
priating $l5OO for the relief of .the poor of
Washington and Georgetown, still hangs in
the House. It seems that the benevolent peo
ple of Washington and Georgetown cannot
take care of their own poor. Congress must
not only build their Water Works and carry
forward all their public irnproverc.2! , ts, but it
must also feed theirhungry- and clothe their,
naked. If the public monies are to be appro
priated to charitable purposes, let us have a
general distribution ;—let acertain amount be
voted to every Congressional district in the
Union, and let each member send home his
district's share for dispensation. Why not?
If it is constitutional to relieve the - poor of
Washington out of the public treasury, it is
constifutionatto relieve,the poor of San Fran
cisco ; and if it is right to do :the one, it is
right to do the other.
Nothing of much interest -will occur in the
House till the Committees get at work
,and
carve out business.
WASHINGTON, F.E33. 15, 1856.
The long-promised speech of Senator Wil
son, of Massachusetts, on the Central Artier
lean question, was deli vexed the other day.—
It . was a rather pour affair, lit my judgment,
to come from a successor of Daniel Webster.
Mr. Wilson did not speak to the merits of the
question. Indeed he hardly spoke to the
question at all. He talked about Oregon,
and Kansas, anti "that polar sea upon which
Dr. Kane gazed," as if Oregon, or Kansas, or
the polar sea, had atiythitig to do with the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty which England has so
shamefully broken. He said the walls of the
Capitol resounded ten years ago with the cry
of "54.40 or fight," and yet we hastily back
ed down to 40, "leaving England in posses
sion of three hundred thousand square miles
of the free territory of the republic." I sup
pose he made this statement for the purpose
of showing England that we are a nation of
blustering cowards, and that she can play put
her designs in Central
: America with perfect
impunity. All these' rumors of war with
England, in the opinion.of this astute Sena
tor, were Set afloat only "to divert the people
from attending to what was passing on the
other side of the Mississippi." Here we
have the pith, of Mr. Wilson's speech—here
we see what he was driving at. It was
Kansas, and not Central America, that was
uppermost in his mind. A War with Eng
land, which all good men would deplore on
the score of humanity, Senator Wilson would
regret because of its tendency to interfere
wjth the operations of the Emigrant Aid So
ciety! A free highway to the Pacific is of
less importance than an underground railroad
in Kansas ! And John Bull is a very saint
in comparison with a "border ruffian,"—as
if John has not been the border ruffian of the
world ever since he grew to manhood.—
There was this difference between thespeech
es of Cass, Seward and Foot,'and the speech
of Wilson: the former were statesmanlike
whilst the latter was stumplik - e. Mr. W. has
just one idea, and that is inky.
The election of Mr. Wendel, the Democrat-.
, is candidate, as House Printer, is a hard blow
to the Black Republicans, who had set. their
hearts on electing Follet.. The design:of the
Republicans in pushing Follet was to build
! up a Printing Establishment at the National
Capital, for the furtherance of their interests.
Everything was to be made subordinate to
the great idea of Black Republicanizing the
' opposition to the Democracy. But many of
•the' opposition members refused to co the
full length .of the Grow, Galloway and Wash
ibuyn string, and tailing to obtain a compro
mise, they let Wendel slide. This looks as
if there was going to be trouble in the anti
! democratic camp at the North.
A spirited debate took place in the Houso
yesterday, on a motion to refer the special
;message of the President in relation to Kan
, sas to the Committee of the Whole.. Dunn,
Giddings and other Republicans opposed the
motion, but it prevailed.
The memorial of Ez-Gov. Reeder was pre
sented and referred to the Committee on
Elections. The majority of this committee
being Black Republican to the backbone, a
strong blast in favor of Reeder may be expect
! ed. But the minority will doubtless give us
as strong a resort on the other side.
The House stands adjourned to Monday.

From the Augusta Me) Age.
Prospects of the Democracy in the
Presidential Contest.
A survey of the field„and of,what hasheen
indicated by the elections of the past year,
furnishes abundant evidence that a signal
triumph awaits the Democracy in th¢ ap
proaching contest. The three proniinent
combitants upon the arena are. the Democrat
ic, the _Republican, and the 'Know'-Nothing
parties. The first of these stands openly up
on national ground, standing by the CdnSti
lution and its compromises, the recognition
of the equal rights of all sections of the Union,
the maintenance of all the laws of the land,
and the tontinuance"of the Union as it is.—
Upon these principles - the party plants ilself,
both at the North and Soiith, the East and
the West. Its platform is, broad enough to
embrace every portion of the land, and he
who truly bears the 'name of Democrat nay
carry it into any part of this great republic,
and 'his principles will be known and respon
ded to by those of the same name wheteyer
he goes. Not so' with either of the othen two
parties. Republicanism, as - now claimed by
those., assuming the title, stands, and can
stand, only as a Northern party. It_iths no
fratienal character—it covers no national
ground—it has no party existence. It is sec
tional, and only sectional in all its character
istics, and its candidate must therefore be the
candidate of the section, and not of the nation,
and his platform must be that of opposition
to the Constitution in many Particulars, and
of hostility tu.the rights of the South.
Know Nothingisrn has a national name,
or, in other words, the same name throughout
the nation; but it is the same in name only in
the several sections of the country, if we ex
cept, as we should, its sameness in fanaticism,
intolerance, violence and crime. It puts
forth no code of principles suited alike to the
North and the South, and the K. N. of, the
one spurns the K. N. of the other from his
embrace as a hated arid. despised thing,—
There can be -no candidate-of this party who
can meet the requirements of• both sections
which comprise it, unless the one or the
other utterly yields all its professed princi
ples. There is no nationality, no broad
spreading principle - about it, and like "repub
licanism," it would break down constitution
al barriers, and set at narght the rights of the
people.
Such an aspect does the field present as
briefly viewed. What precise form these two
latter actors in the struggle may ultimately
assume, it is difficult to say. But, be it what
it may, it
-cannot be doubted that the patriot
ism, intelligence and virtue of the people will
set the seal of reprobation upon-both, and hold
fast to those principles which : are not • boun
ded by geographical lines, nor propagated by
"dark lantern" oaths, but which embrace the
whole country, and are nourished in the light
of true freedom and patriotism. To the sup
port of these principles all national men,
Whatever their distinctive -name -heretofore,
will rally—and rally, too, - for- the time at
least—with the National Democracy, for by
so doing they can alone he effective of good,.
The questions involved in the struggle are
of more importance than that of the .expedi
ency or inexpeclicrocy of the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise. Indeed, - • this can.
hardly enter into the contest,. 'for no consid
erable portion of either of the forces ' desire
its full restoration. That matter is past.re--
The future of the-country, its momentous in
terests, the preservation of its unity, the ad
ministration of Its laws,, the perpetuity of its'l
strength and position in the family of na-
Lions, theseare the rallyiug points, and in an
ticipation of the warfare forehese, the peo
ple have in many of the States, sounded out
already the notes of preparation, and given
full notice that their armor is buckled
-on,-
that they have already driven in-the outposts,
and wait .only the time to charge,. to toms
plete the great and utter overthrow of the err- -
em v.
_Let us look at the official dispatches sent
to us from the States during the past year,
and sum up the result, that we.tnay ascertain.
how stands the battle.
We enumerate the following states as hav
ing uttered their . condemnatory voices
against both Nativism. and "Republicanism,'2
given sure earnest of their nationality arid
iemocracy, and give the number 'of electoral
rotes to which each is entitled : •
Maine, • 8
Pennsylvania, 27
New. Jersey, 7
Virginia, ' •15
Illinois, •11
Indiana, .13
Wisconsin, 5
Missouri, 9
Arkansas, • 4
Total, ' - ' ' 168
Here I.ve'have enough and to spare, which
may be set down as reasonably'sure, the num
ber required being 149. But we may safely
add as opposed to sectionalism in the coming
campaign : •
New Hampshire, 5 Maryland, 8
Michigan, 6 Delaware, 3
Kentucky, - 12 California, • - , 4
Total, - - -
Which gives 57 surplus, and this without
counting—
New York, 35 1 Connecticut ) 6
lowa, 4 -
Total, - - - 45
Which the Democracy stands a better
chance of carrying than do the other parties.
If, then, we give to the opposition Ohio,
about which - considerable doubt is justifiable,
and all the States remaining—it has'
Ohio, - 23 Vermont,
Massachusetts, 13, Rhode Island,
And we do not see that it can confidently
claim any more, but, in any• event, it is ap
parent that the Democracy must win the field
and have a very considerable surplus of
strPngth. Indeed, the Concord Statesman, the
leading Know-Nothing organ in New Hamp
shire, mournfully reflects upon the picture
presented, and says :
"As the subject is now presented through
out the country, no very strong hope can be
reasonably entertained of defeating the can
didate of the next Democratic National Con
vention—even if General Pierce be the nom
inee. This is an assertion the utterance of
which is by no means pleasant; but every
intelligent politician, looking carefully over
the country, and noting the various move
ments afoot which have reference to 1856.
can now reach no other conclusion."
Such are the indications—such the pros
pect of success. Let us labor and watch,
that nothing, which properly . we may claim
as our own may be lost. Confidence is use
ful so long as it inspires zeal and favor—it is
worse than useless if it conduces to idleness,
or neglect of caution, vigilance and earnest
ness.
