which they have assumed and main
tained, are henceforth not to be consid
ered as subjects for future colonization
by any European powers,

, any attempts on , their part to extend
their system to any portion of this hemi
spere as dangerous to our peace and
safety. With the existing colonies or
dependencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall not in
terfere, but, with the governments who
bare declared their independence and
maintained it, and whose Independence
we have, on great consideration -and on
juBt principles, acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the pur
pose of oppressing them, or controlling in
any manner their destiny by any Euro
pean power in any other light than as a
manifestation of an unfriendly disposi
tion towards the United States.
"Eesolved, that in accordance with
the doctrine laid down by President
Monroe, as stated in the proceeding
rules, the United States declares its pur
pose to maintain. the principle embodied
in that doctrine and will regard any in
fringment of it, or any attempt on the
part of any European power to take or
acquire new territory on the American
continent, whether under the pretense
of boundary disputes, or otherwise, as
aq act of hostility to the United States.
'E6solved, that the president be re
quested to communicate these resolu-
tions to the governments of all nations
with whom we have relations of amity
and commerce."
