Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Rives, of Virginia, on the Mission to Panama: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, April 6, 1826 The House being in Committee of the whole, on the following resolution, reported by the Committee of Foreign Relations. "Resolved, That, in the opinion of the House, it is expedient to appropriate the funds necessary to enable the President of the United States to send Ministers to the Congress of Panama." The amendment offered by Mr. M´Lane, of Delaware, being also before the Committee, in the following words: "It being understood, as the opinion of this House, that, as it has always been the settled policy of this Government, in extending our commercial relations with foreign nations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible, to preserve peace, commerce, and friendship, with all nations, and to form entangling alliances with none: the Ministers who may be sent shall attend the said Congress in a diplomatic character merely; and shall not be authorized to discuss, consider or consult upon any proposition of alliance, offensive or defensive, between this country and any of the Spanish American Governments, or any stipulation, compact, or declaration, binding the United States in any way or to any extent, to resist interference from abroad with the domestic concerns of the aforesaid Governments, or any measure which shall commit the present or future neutral rights or duties of these United States, either as may regard European nations, or between the several States of Mexico and South America; leaving the United States free to adopt, in any event which may happen, affecting the relations of the Spanish American Governments, with each other, or with foreign nations, such measures as the friendly disposition, cherished by the American People, towards the People of those States, and the honour and interest of this nation may dictate." And Mr. Rives, of Virginia, having moved to amend the amendment of Mr. M´Lane, by inserting the following, after the words aforesaid governments, where those words occur, in the the 12th 13th lines; "Or any compact or engagement by which the United States shall be pledged to the Spanish American States, to maintain, by force, the principle, that no part of the American continent is henceforward subject to colonization by any European power" - Mr. Rives, of Virginia, rose, and said, he was admonished, by every consideration of a personal nature, to abstain from any participation in the present discussion. No one could be more sensible than himself how little ability he possessed, at any time, to assist the deliberations of this House, and that ability, small as it was at all times, was now materially lessened by the effects of long continued infirmity.
