Revival Of The Monroe Doctrine

The almost elmultaneoua actions of Fp&ln ;uid Great Britain are curious, tu í-ay the least. Great Britain., af ter a Mii, ut tempt at control of the desUnies o( Ilawaii and oi the commerce of th(!

No efforts should be spared to unite all the republics of Northern, Central, and Southern America, and of the contignous islands, in an offensive and defensive league for the maintenance of Pan-American independence. The wise policy of Blaine and Harrison, of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and Monroe should be revived. At the present time the country needs a Secretary of State as bold as Marcy and as diplomatic as Seward. Sailors as bold as Duncan Ingiaham, of the St. Louis, or AVinslow, of the Kearsarge, or as Commodore Wilkes this Republic ahvays has liad and ahvays will have. It is only when hampered by the instructions of timid or dilettante civilians that our naval officers hesitate in vindication of American honor. When Ingraham took Costa from the Austrian frigate he knew that Marcy was Secretary of State, and when Wilkes took Mason and Slidell from the Trent he knew that Seward was Secretan'. What Walker would have done in Hawaii had Blaine been Secretary may be guessed at easily enough. Just now there is need of a revival of Americanism. Great Britain ought to be made to kuow that the United States will not consent to her obtaining freehold, leasehold, or protectorate in Venezuela or Nicaragua. Spain ought tobe made to apologize for her assault upon a United States ship, and if circumstances give good color of justice to the act the Cuban patriots should be recognized as belligerents. The sooner that all America, insular and continental, shall be governed by Americans the better it will be for the peace and prosperity of the world. - ínter Ocean.
