What is the Monroe Doc
tnne?
There seems to be a persistent mis?
construction of the Monroe doctrine on
the part of some of oar citizens who
are bent upon a policy of peace at any
price. Peace is always desirable when
it can be maiorained with honor, and at
no sacrifice of National dignity or self
respect. Bot resistance is frequently
the essential condition and prerequisite
of peace. Self-preservation is the first
law of nature, and is recognized a od
reaffirmed by all forms of government
and codes of oivil jurisprudence. In
organized social life, the individual has
committed his interests largely to the
protection of the government. The
government in protecting itself, is only
protecting its citizens. If the govern?
ment neglects to protect itself, it eau
have no power to protect its citizens.
Its honor, dignity and self-respect are
essentially the aggregate of those qual?
ities inhering in its people.
That is what the Monroe doctrine
means. It means that this government
is pledged to resist the organized sel?
fishness of other governments, io so far
as the interests of this country and its
people are thereby endangered. It
does not mean that this government is
the legal guardian of the South and
Central American republics. That
question was definitely disposed of by
the action of Congress relative to the
Panama Mission. But it does mean
that no foreign or European govern?
ment shall be permitted to abuse our
neutrality, much less make it a pretext
for its own aggrandizement, by seizing
South or Central American territory,
and thus establish political principles
and influences in this hemisphere which
are directly ap tagon istic to our form of
government and essentially inimical to
the prosperity and perpetuity of our in?
stitutions. Our historic and traditional
foreign policy has been io perfect and
uniform harmony with this principle.
It does cot alone affect foreign govern?
ments, but also relates to the action of
American powers. Thomas Jefferson
made this clear when he declared to
President Monroe that we should op?
pose with all our means the forcible in?
terposition of any other power as aux?
iliary, stipecdary, or under any other
form or pretext, and most especially
their transfer to any power by con*
quest, cession, or acquisition in any
other way
Daniel Webster held firmly to this
proposition in relation to the assumed
right of Spain to transfer Cuba to
France. He said in this connection:
"Sir, I look on the message of De?
cember, 1823, as forming a bright page
JD our history. I will help neither to
erase it nor (ear it out ; nor shall it be,
by any aot of mine blurred or blotted,
proximity of poeitioD, neighborhood,
whatever augments the power of injur?
ing and annoying, very properly belong
to the Consideration of all cases of this
kind. The real question is, whether
the transfer of Cuba to a great man?
doe power of Europe would endanger
our own security or our essential inter?
ests. The general rule of law is, un?
questionably, against interference in
the transactions of other States. There
are, however, acknowledged exceptions.
The ground of these exceptions is self
preservation."
Here, then, we are brought back to
the principle of self-preservation, and
it is clear that this principle requires
ns to resiet to the last extremity the in?
auguration by Great Britain in this
hemisphere of a movement of aggres?
sive aggrandizement similar to that
which has cursed and crushed Europe
and the East.
If England shall be allowed to seize
arbitrarily, but without arbitration,
this disputed territory overlooking the
Gulf of Mexico and the site of the Ni?
caragua Canal, and embracing the
richest agricultural and mineral re?
sources of South America, what is to
prevent her from taking all that tempt
her cupidity or suggest enlarged
schemes of selfish ambition ? This is a
question that appeals to our patriotism,
our honor and our self-respect, the
sacrifice of which can fiad no compen?
sation in either the oondition of our
pockets or the gratification of a poetic
sentiment of non-resistance.-N. Y,
Mail and Express.
The Monroe Doctrine.
The following is the full text of
President Monroe's utterance which
is known as "the Monroe doctrine."
"Weowe it,therefore, tocaudor and
to the amicable relations existing be?
tween the United States and those
powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system on any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing
colonies codependencies of any Eu
rspean power, we have not inter?
fered, and shall not interfere. But
with the governments who have de?
clared their independence and main?
tained it, and whose independence
we have, on great consideration and
on just principles acknowledged, we
could not view any interposition for
the purpose of oppressing them, or
controlling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power, in
any light than as the manifestation of
an unfriendly disposition towards the
United States. But in regard to
these contingents, circumstances are
eminently and conspicuously differ*
ent. It is impossible that the aWied
powers should extend their political
system to any portion of either con?
tinent without endangering our peace
and happiness ; nor can any one be?
lieve that our Southern brethren, if
left'io-themselves, would adopt it of
their own accord. It is equally im?
possible, therefore, that we should
behold such imposition, in any form,
with indifference."-Message of De?
cember 2, 1823.
The Atlanta Exposition.
ATLANTA, Ga., December 25.-The
public spirit of Atlanta once more
showed itself in the large number of
people who left home on Christmas
day to visit the Exposition in honor
of "Collier day." In spite of the
threatening weather the street cars
and the Southern Railway's Exposi?
tion cars were kept busy during a
good portion of the day in moving
the crowds
To morrow is "Negro day" at the
Exposition and the committee of
thirty five negro leaders has worked
up great enthusiasm. The white
people have been appealed to, to
give their servants holiday and this
will be done.
Everything is now making ready
for the close of the Exposition, which
will occur December 31. That is
directors' day and another big turn?
out is expected.
The railroads have granted a week's
extension of the low rates which
were to expire to-day. Until Janu?
ary 1 tickets will be sold at the
same rates quoted for the 19th to the
25th, good to return within five days
from date of sale. These rates are
less than any ever offered by the
railroads, and figure little more than
half a cent a mile. They are in
effect throughout the territory of the
Southern Passenger Association from
the Ohio and Potomac rivers to the
Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi
river.
A speoial to the Charlotte, N. C.,
Observer from Salisbury says the
magazine of the Smithdeal Hard?
ware Company, near Salisbury, con?
taining 1,500 pounds of dynamite and
50 kegs of powder blew up. Two
boys, George and Ira Weaver, were
hunting io the vicinity at the time.
Their father had warned them not to
shoot near the magazine. It is thought
that either mischievously or accident?
ally a bullet from one of their guos
struck the magazine. George was in?
stantly killed and Ira probably fatally
wounded. Window glass was broken
io Salisbury.
