THr jrtonroe Doctrine.
"What songs the Syrens sung, and
what name Achilles bore "when he hid
among tuc Grecian *omtu," r.rc
questions of easy solution compared
with that cross between a gnarled oak
and a Gordian knot, "the Monroe
doctrine." The subject has been
written of and talked about so long,
and so many reams of diplomatic note
paper, and so many days of dreary,
turgid Congressional rhetoric hare
! been wasted upon it, that at the very
? mention of the subject by a joni dist
the eye of the sated and disgusted
1 reader flies for relief to the obituary
notices, or to the column which is
sacved to horrible accidents.
Although the famous doctrine has
been buffeted back and forth for a
quarter of a century, without ever
seriously menacing the pacific rela?
tions of the United States and Great
Britain, yet the time is not far distant
?when our Government and people
mnst finally ?bandon the position of
Mr. Monroe, or prepare to make it
good at all hazards. This doctrine
has of lato been treated with so much
contempt by England and France,
that it has ceased to be a scare-crow
even to the smallest German Princi?
pality.
Indeed, the leading and most in?
fluential organs of public sentiment
? in England treat it as an explodec
doctrine, set up and maintained b}
I the United States, but from the first
utterly despised and ignored by th<
rest of Christendom, and now aban
doned by this country.
The London Saturday Revieic, o
the 80th of September, gravely Bpeak
of the famous Monroe doctrine as om
of the "things" which "a nation set
np and calls a doctrine, and can hoh
it until forced to change it, or i
brought to see the wisdom of forego
ing it." It then coolly treats th
Monroe doctrine as a bantling whicl
has been voluntarily abandoned by it
parents, and points to the establish
ment of Maximilian in Mexico b;
Nap oleon as conclusive evidence tha
the Monroe doctrine is dead an
buried. It says:
"The abandonment of the Monro
doctrine by the United States is a:
instance under the first head. Whe
the Monroe doctrine was first set ur.
it was a good doctrine. It was a prc
test on behalf of liberty against n
audacious attempt to subjugate th
world and bring both hemisphere
under the sweep of the blighting curs
which the Holy Alliance called orderl
government. The United States pn
claimed to the absolutists of the Ol
World that if an attempt was serious]
made to coerce the revolted colonh
of Spain, on tho mere ground thi
they chose to form themselves in!
republics, there was a great republ
in America that would try to prevei
the wrong. The? threat sutceedei
and the Spanish colonies had fr<
play given them, and were allow*
to form themselves quietly and pcac
ably into the most demoralized, abjec
anarchical, heaven-forgotten comm
nities that ever disgraced the civilize
world. But the remembrance of the
triumph lived on in the breasts of tl
Americans; and as the judicious thre
of President Monroe had unfortunat
ly been styled a doctrine, it was sn
posed that it must contain sor
general principle; and it suited tl
energetic, ambitious, tall-talking h
mor of Yankees to fancy that tl
principle must bo that none of t
powers of the Old World have ai
right, under any circumstances,
interfere in the affairs of any part
thc Kew World. The fact star
thom, and all men, in the face, tl:
England, France, and Holland ii
actual owners of American terri to]
and that the mother-countries
almost all tho white South America
aro Spain and Portugal. But it M
glorious to take no notice of this, a
to say that the United States w<
entitled exclusively to preside over
America. The Emperor Napole
tested this doctrine, and founded t
Empire of Mexico. It was suppos
that at the first opportunity t
United States would vindicate t
i Monroe doctrine, and pull this E
pire down; and so much were cn
outsiders like Mr. Cobden led aw
by the verbal inaccuracy of calli
a pretension a doctrine, that tl
thought the United States would
quite right in doing this, and they 1
not a word to say against so glan
an assumption of unreal authori
Tho exp iment has been made, 1
Americans have considered their d
trine afresh, and have apparel)
determined to abandon it. This ^
undoubtedly due in some measure
the firm attitude of France, and
the general unwillingness of the
i habitants of the United States to p
j out of ono great war into anotl
and the readiness with which the d
trine was abandoned was undoubte
due, in a great measure, to the straj
1 obedience which the Americans pay
to the decision of their President,
J simply because it is his decision.
Stit th? chief caisse of thc cour*'? tb<vv
have taken is, that they saw, on ex?
amination, that their doctrine was
nota ri gi . one, and, being an emi?
nently just people, when their love of
justice is fairly appealed to, they de?
cided they would not uphold a wrong
principle ont of mere vanity and
Dravado. They perceived that if any
one chose to help forlorn creatures
like the Mexicans, and give them, as
the Emperor Napoleon has wished to
give them, some of the elementary
blessings of civilized life, they would
be doing an infinite wrong to the Mexi?
cans, to themselves, and the. world, ii
they drove out the French without
themselves undertaking to govern
Mexico. The Monroe doctrine be?
came at once ridici?ous and nnsup
portably burdensome when it was
seen to carry with it the duty oi
imposing decency and order on all
the mongrel Spanish Catholics of th?
vast Southern Continent; and so it
was given np with much good sense,
?nd in a handsome, rational way,
without any pretence of saying that il
was not given up."
A Providence paper, referring fx
the outlandish and utterly abominable
words constantly coined by telegrapl
operators, says : "The Associate*

'burglarized' ar-5 'incendarized,' o

The Political Ca.rapa.lgn In the North.
The following article is from the
Round Table:
The election returns from Iowa,
Ohio and Pennsylvania do not afford
much comfort to the Democratic
party. It seems at first that it gained
on the popular vote of last year, but
taking into account tho hght vote
polled and the complex, elements
which entered into the canvass, the
result shows that as a party organiza?
tion it has not been strengthened in
numbers since the close of the war.
To the wise men among the Demo?
crats, it must be a marvel that then
party can have any standing with the
country in view of the failure of all
their predictions during tue canvass
for tho Presidency. When the Demo?
cratic presses, orators and platforms
declared that the South could never
be conquered, that it was impossible
to coerce eight millions of our own
countrymen, that the debt was so
large that it never could be paid, and
that if the rebellion were put down, a
Republican Administration was in?
competent to deal justly or wisely
with the conquered States, they made
a record which subsequent events did
not justify; and political death would
seem to have been the proper fate for
a party guilty of such mistakes. In
some of the States, and especially in
New York, the leaders have had wit
enough to recognize the real state of
affairs and discard the doctrines
which had proved so distasteful to
tho people, and adopt others which
are judged to be more in accordance
with the popular sentiment.
On the other hand, the Kepnbhcan
party is sadly disorganized, owing to
honest differences among its members
touching the reconstruction policy of
President Johnson. To a superficial
observer, it would appear that the
hearty supporters of Mr. Johnson's
policy (which is undoubtedly popular)
were confined to the Democratic
party, while those who either oppose
or give it but lukewarm support, are
members of the Republican party.
Yet even with this apparent advan?
tage, the Democrats have come off
second best in the recent elections.
Their chances in tin? State, however,
are somewhat better. The majority
to be overcome is small, being but
6,749 on an aggregate vote ef 730,721,
while the position occupied by the
party is much better than that of
similar organizations in the other
States. The ticket, too, is a strong
one, and being composed of several
Republicans of high character, will
probably induce many Republicans to
vote for it, or, at least, abstain from
voting against it. Moreover, the
military influence, which is strongly
opposed to the Democratic party
elsewhere, is at least neutaalized in
New York.
The case is different in New Jersey,
The result of the recent charter elec?
tion in Newark is very significant.
That city, which has always given
large Democratic majorities, has been
carried by the Republicans by no
inconsiderable vote; and it is not at
all unlikely that in November the
State will follow its lead. Indeed, it
would be a good thing for the Demo?
cratic party and the country if it
should. When Mississippi, Alabama,
Carolina, and even the Palmetto State,
are passing ordinances abolishing
slavery, it ill becomes the people of
New Jersey to endorse a party which
opposes the ratification of tho consti?
tutional amendment abolishing slave?
ry throughout the United States. A
community that is more backward in
this respect than South Carolina de?
serves no sympathy from the free
North. So shrewd apolitical weather?
cock as Gen. Sicklos, who earnestly
supports the Democratic ticket in this
State, is equally twnest in his oppo?
sition to the Democratic candidates in
New Jersey.
After ail, tho results of the fall
elections are of little significance.
No decided issues will be developed
until Congress meets and the recon?
struction policy of President Johnson
comes up for discussion. This is cer?
tain to divide the people of the coun?
try, and the first opportunity that
they will have to express their
opinions of it will be at the eleelions
for members of Congress next year.
