MEXICO AND THE MONBGJE
DO0TBINE.
The recent subjugation of the Mexican
Republic by the hirelings of Louis Napo-
leon, has naturally called the attention
of many to the doctrine enunciated by
President Monroe, which has received its
first violation in this apparently success—
ful enterprise of the French usurper. In
the light of recent events, the history of
the famous Monroe doctrine has obtained
a. new handling, and the principles of
which it is the embodiment have been
examined afresh. Among the many dis—
quisitions On this subject which have
lately appeared, is a very valuable paper
in the last number of the New Euglander,
from the experienced pen of Rev. Dr.
Joshua Leavitt,-—au article which it
were well if every American citizen might
read and ponder.
Previous to our war of Independence,
all the communities on this continent
were governed as colonies, owned and
controlled by Enmpcau monarchiee. The
achievement of political freedom gave
the United States a place in this world
as a distinct nationality, and the war
with France, and.a second struggle with
England, by proving our strength and
resources, won for us the respect, at least,
of other powers Butbctwceu our gov-
ernment, both in regard to its form and
its underlying principles, and the govern-
ments of the Eastern continent, there
was a radical and irreconcilable cunfiict.
The peculiar'politioal system of Europe
has been the growth of three centuries.
This system is expressed by the term
Balance of Power. The idea on which
European ctatesmanship proceeds, is that-
the people exist for the sovereign—not
the sovereign for tho people—that any
enlargement of popular liberty comes by
the grant of the monarch, not by com-
mon right; and that whatever privileges,
such as a legislature or a constitution,
which the king may at any time confer,
these he may at any time revoke if be
please, and find himself strong enough to
do so. The ostensible object aimed at in
maintaining the Balancebf Power is to
preserve the peaCe of Europe; the real
object is to prevent the establishment of
any nationality with a constitutional gov-
ernment created by the eople. Tbc
model form of government recognised by
these abettors of king-craft to an abso-
lute, hereditary monarchy, under which
every immunity enjoyed by the subjectis
bestowed upon him by royal favor, and
is conditioned therefore upou the insecure
basis cf his will. The Great Powers are
handed in Holy Alliance to watch over
the Weaker States, and keep them from
breaking over these restrictions; and if
at any time the oppressions of a corrupt
monurchical government are thrown off
by popular revolution, theso Bowers step
in and prescribe that the government
shall still be mouarchical, and that what-
ever constitutional provisions it must have
shall emanate from the throne.
It was at once seep by American
statesmen that these principles are di-
rectly Opposed to those on which the
Republic of the United States was found-
ed. For we have held from the start that
a' people are entitled to have just what
government they please, administering it-
in just what way they please. Therefore,
our earliest public men confidently declared
that the political interests of our country
and of ' Europe are entirely distinct, and
ought to be kept distinct. But at the
time of the achievement of Our National
independence, all other lions of the
continent were colonial pendencies of
European monarchies. In the midst,
however, of the political and belligerent
distractions among the powers of Europe,
these colonies in Central and South
America, stimulated by-thc neglect or
follies of their royal proprietors”, were in.
duced to seek an independent and na-
tional existence, in which attempt,'after
various struggles, they were completely
successful. The most of them, fashioning
their institutions after those of the United
States, chose a republican form of gov-
ernment. So that, excepting the Cauc-
diun possessions of England, direct Euro-
pean control was then at an end over the
length and breadth of the continent.
It was at this juncture that President
Monroe, in his annual message to Con-
gress, December 2d, 1823, laid down the
doctriuc'which has since been identified
with his name. After alluding to the
essential difference between the political
system of the Allied Powers and that of
America, he says: “We owe it, there-
fore, to candor, and to the amicable rela-
tions subsisting between the United
States and these Powers to declare, that
, we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any por-
tion of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety.” In another para-
graph he asserts it, “as a principle in
which the rights and interests of the
United States are involved, that the
‘ American continents, by the free and in-
dependent couditiun which they have
assumed and maintain, are henceforth
not to be considered subjects for future
colonization by any European power.”
It is not our present purpose to re.
mark further on the occasion which gave
‘ birth to this memorable declaration. Its
, BIRD 0 AGES, 8 ood “norm.“ ‘ force and Justification did not, however,

‘ . sway when the circumstances cured
1
"Napoleon ?
_a right to believe that it is, along with -.
intention, was that monarchy in North
ice. The hints which Southern leaders
American traitors, shows us that our
which called it into being. Embodyiug
great principles which relate to a cause
of danger to be permanently appre-
hended from the supporters of an abso-
lute polity who seeks to give to that
polityuuiversal extension,—it stands as
the pledge of national action so long as
that cause of danger exists. The studied
infringement-which this distinctive Ame-
rican doctrine has so recently received,
is worth the careful attention of every
friend of freedom. The history of the
case discloses a deep-laid plot against the
interests of liberal government "in this
hemisphere. ' ' A
Mexico had been disturbed by civil
comr'n‘otions. She had her traitors as We
have ours. Zuloagu and Miramou, two
wretched usurpers, to carry out their»
mischievous designs, issued bonds to the
amount of somei fifty millions of dollars,
on which they received from the J eckers
only four or five per cent.‘ But the gov-' .
erumcut of President Juarez was the:
constitutional government supported by
the great mass of the'Mexica‘n' people.
Of course, the Republic wOuld not recog-
nize the debt which had been incurred by
Miramou and Zuloagu, whom the nation
had not recognized as legitimate rulers.
Although Jefi‘. Davis has controlled a
large seetionl-of the United States‘for
nearly three”years, we feel no liability for
the loausw’hich he may have efl'ected in
Europe. But iu behalf of these‘Jeckers,
loch: warcftakeu, but were "made so
afterwards" for the pnpr-J Of the scheme,
the combined forces of France, England,
and Spain are brought to bear against
the Mexican Republic. England and
Spain subsequently withdrew sheir active
support, although continuing their moral
sanction to the iniquitous enterprise. The
weak, distracted Republic is of course
overpowered, and then the real intent of .
the whole affair comes to light. The
Jeekers actually paid the Mexican revo-
lutionists less than $2,500,000; the sum
claimed by these bankers was but
$50,000,000; while the cost of the French
invasion could not have been less than
$100,000,000, probably much more. Who
is so simple as to believe the recovery of
the loans was the true design of Louis
But observe the consequences of suc-
cessful occupation. The instructiOus given
to General Foray were to “declare that
everything is provisional.” He finds in
Mexico a government with President
Juarez at its head, constitutional, without
a doubt, for it had been supported from i
the first by the great body, of the people.
But the people had created it, as they
created ours in 1789. From the people
it had sprung, and by the popular will it
was maintained. The theory, however,
of the Holy Alliance is that such a gov-
eminent is not entitled to respect. There-
fore Forey, obedient. to his master, sets
it aside, and appoints by his own autho-
rity a commission of three persons, the
mere creatures of his pleasure. These
three men calla Junta of Notables, se-
lected by themselves, and this Junta at .
once declare Mexico an empire, and offer
the throne to Maximilian, of Austria.
And the latest intelligence brought to us
nouns the water- is, that the Arch Duke
has accepted the flattering offer, and will
shortly sail in an Austrian war vessel for
his new dominions, Napoleon having
agreed to secure the quiet submission of
sell an army of twenty thousand French-
men. .
This whole proceeding is one of the
most shameless in all the annals of his-
tory. Originating when and where it
did, and, carried to such results, we have
the rebellion of Southern sluveholders,
buts part of one grand assault on the
institutions, and even the existence, of
the United States. Undoubtedly the
America should not be confined 'tO'Mex-
themSelves have thrown out, taken in
connection with all the circumstances of
this Mexican conquest, entitle us to think
that the absolutists of Europe expected
to raise another throne still nearer to us
on the territory which is now the battle-
ground of the contending forces of Sla-
very aud the Union. '
The openly avowed sympathy of the
monarchicul governments of Europe with
democratic institutions have nothing to
gain and everything to fear from Ihe ex-
tension of royal dominion to this conti-
nent. Our early statesmen were right.
The spread of the political system of Eu-
rope to any portion of this hemisphere is,
as Mr. Monroe declared it to be, "dau-
gerous to our peace and safety.” If our
hands had not bcnn tied by the present
civil war. this assault on Mexican liberty

Separated from the Old World by

HILTON HEAD, S. 0.,
_Nov. 10, 1863. l '
Dina Ginny—Three weeks ago ‘ to-
day, we left the Post Hospital at" Folly
Island, on route for home; but alas! for
human calculations, “Man proposes, God
disposes.” ‘ On our arrival at thc'ubarf,"
at this place, about half-past ten o'clcck',‘
P. M, brother become so alarmingly'ill,
that I was obliged ‘to‘hunt up the Post
Surgeon, who ord-ered’him to be removed
early the next morning 'to the hospital
instead of on board the Karnak. so
here we came and still remain. The
greater‘part of the time has been to me
full of hopes and fears, as day after day
my poor brother lay on the verge of the-
grave; but thanks to a great and good
Providence, he lives on, and is now slow-
ly gaining strength. '
We embarked from the Morris Island
landing on the steamer Escort, the vessel
which twice ran the blockade of Little
Washington, when General Foster was
cooped up there by the rebels. As we
lay of in Lighthouse Inlet, awaiting the”
rising of the tide before we could cross.

.the bar, the scenery was truly pictur-
esque as well as warlike. At a stone’s
.throw to our right lay Folly Island,
ilined as far as the eye could reach with,
gthe white tents of the encampmeuts.
About the same distance on our left was
Morris Island, also covered with the sol-
diers’ tents, while off in the distance could
be seen Fort Wagner, Battery Gregg,
and the ruins of Sumter. Still further
onwas James Island and the rebel forti-
fications, from which, at regular inter-
vals, we could see the flush and hear the
report of a heavy gun, as the rebs sent
greeting to Wagner and Gregg. In front
of us leyth'efblockading lost, with the.
new Irousides just steaming up through,
their midst. Altogether» the scene pre;
sented was truly grand and imposing.
Amidst it all, there were several. little,
things which. strongly reminded the of
home. For instanée, just in front of us,
plying between Morris and Folly Islands,
and just outside of. thebbfiaground, on-
one of the shoals, lay the Alice Price,
lately on the route between Norwalk and
New York: ' Again,.bb’out' the last per-
wcre friend Rockwell and his assistant
Gilbert, of Ridgefield, both up to, «their
~ éycs in business.» .- .
A few:;deys before I left, two regi-
ments of Ohio soldiers, the 25th and
55th, in the brigade with the 17th, held
an election, and cast their votes for
Stato'ofiicers. Ono regiment "votednnuné
limo-sly for Bro‘ugb, and the other gave
seven votes for Yallandigbam. Polls
were opened in each company, and every J
soldier had a fair opportunity of voting
for whom be pleased. Verily, [- do not
wonder at the Copper-heads in Connecti-
cut doing all they cau to prevent soldiers
voting,_——notwithstanding, as they claim-
ed at home, that “none but Democrats
had gone to the war.” It would do any
Union man good, and astouish, and, per-
haps, open the eyes of an hanest(?) 00p
pcrhead, to visit the camps of our brave
soldiers, and get their opinions on the
doings at the North. They are willing
to undergo all things for the Union, but
are dreadfully down upon the cavillers
and triflcrs, for form’s sake, of those at
home.
I passed through the camp of the lat
Conn. Battery several times while on the
Island. The boys all appeared to be in
good spirits, and reported their general
health as being excellent. For a long
time past they have been engaged in
picketing Folly Island, a safe and rather
pleasant duty.
Gen. Gillmore’s wife and daughter
arrived here by the Arago, on the~23d

not the Arago, saluted them, and then
conveyed the ladies ashore. The General

The 6th Connecticut, which is encamp-
ed but a few rods from the Hospital, has.
had quite a streak of lucklately. They
have had to detail five companies to re-

for this district, which includes Morris
Island. On the 26th ult.., their hearts
were made glad, and they were uerved to

On Saturday. the Slat, the ColOnel of
the 6th Connecticut had orders to muster
in his men'for two months' pay. As. he-
had two companies on outpost duty—one
at either . end of the Island, which it.
would. be necessary to visit—he kindly
invited me to join his party of inspection.

camped in a miniature paradise, i. a, a
large orange grovo The fruit had al-
ready been plucked fl'om most of the
trees, but several of them had not yet
been touched, one being reserved for
Gen. Gillmore. The grove looked much
like a New England orchard, and those
trees which _had not been touched were
loaded down with fruit of all sizes and
shades of orange color. The fruit looked .
tempting, and we were soon made at home
with it; audit being our first opportunity
to get the oranges fresh from the trees,
we were not backward in filling our-
selves with the luscious, juicy fruit.

' After mastering and inspecting the
men and their quarters, we took dinner
with the Captain, (and a good dinnerit
was too,) bid good-bye to all, and start-
ed for Braddock’s Point, at the other
end of the Island, 15 miles distant. We
passed through two or three cornfields on
the way, and about half a dozen cotton
fields. Sample balls of this cotton, in its
different. stages of maturity, the orderly
was kind enough to pluck for the Doctor
The greater part of the land We found to
be an unbroken waste, with at intervals
a belt of timber land. The Doctor was
charmed with it, wanted to purchase a
plantation; said Northern men could raise
as much cotton on this one Island alone
as the whole State of South Carolina
ever raised in one year, and I am in-
clined to believe it. , We saw also fields
of sweet potatoes, yams and peanuts, all
of which appeared to yield well.
We reached Braddock’s Point at about
four o’clock, and found the New Britain
Company stationed there, which appeared
to be a very uuwholesome place, the
men suffering much from chills and
fever. The house here was used for
barracks, but is in rather a dilapidated
condition. From the verandah, we could
look off on to Dafuskie Island, which
stretches up to near Savannah. At pre-
sent it is unoccupied; the robe occasiou~
