sament. It was intended to apply to every stage of our national lifa, and vannet become obsolete while aur republie endures If the balance of power is justly & enso for jealous anxiety among the Governments of the Old World and a subject for our absolute non- interference, none the less is the observance of the Mearce destrine of vital carcare to our people and their Government.
Asutaing, thorofaro, that we may properly insist upon the doctrine without regard to the stata of things in which we live," or any changed conditions here or elsewhere, it is not apparent why its application may not be favoked in the present controversy. If any European power, by an extension of its boundaries, takes posena sion of the territory of one of our neighboring republics against its will and in derogation of its rights, it is difficult to see why to that extent wach European power does not thereby attempt to extend its systom of government to that partion of this coutinont which is Una takan. This is the presise notion which President Monroe dezlared to be "dangerous to our ponco- and safety," and it can make a difference whether the European system is extended by an advance of frontier or otherwise.
It is also suggested in the British reply that we should not seek to apply the Monroe dout rize to the pending dispute, because it does not embody any principle of international law which is founded on the general contest of unitions and that u statesman, however eminent, and no nation, however powerful, is compétent to insort into the code of International law a novel prin- ciple which was hover recognized before and which has not since boan accepted by the Go vernments of any other country.
