The Monroe Democrnt man quotcs poetry over the inu'r-n -itioinl-Venezuela-Monvoe doctrina i,u s.io:i in this not vevy Angollic way : "Pres'dent Angelí, o the Dntverei y, out-f'K v( lanils Ui' presidenl in the poücy of strict Americanisin. He aot only favors dragglng the British ion l;y the tail of Ihe Venszue'eaij soil, if he is there, bui would have the United States prevent other American nations from ceding territory unuer any citcumstanees, 10 foreigu powre. The Democrat's sentiment is with the AngeU'e, but it might be t-ather difficult to realize on it. It might revive the oM song : Thlnga hnve come to a terr.ble pass Vhen a man can't wullop his own jackass."
