overwhelming power of American emigrants and of Cubans and Porto Ricans, or they will be ceded to our Union for a moderate sum, to avoid their loss by rebellion and independence. All colonies ought to be treated as a kind parent treats a child, and, when grown to maturity, their independence should be granted as soon as they are able to join the family of nations. This is the course of duty, and promotes the interest of all parties. The duty of obedience depends on the conformity of the administration to the precepts of the Gospel, and every people have a natural right to change an oppressive for a free government, by elective franchise or by the sword of revolution. So that just and enlightened rulers alone are entitled to the obedience of the people subject to their authority. Liberal governments alone are stable and permanent. In short, the government of every country should adopt the precepts of the Gospel as its rule of municipal administration, and make the prosperity, freedom, intelligence and happiness of the people the objects of its power, and the means of its national glory. APPENDIX. "HOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE EMPEROR OF ALL THE RUSSIAS, EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND THE KING OF PRUSSIA, SIGNED AT PARIS, THE 14-26TH OF SEPTEMBER, 1815." "In the name of the Most Holy Trinity," these sovereigns declared to the world that the precepts of the Gospel were the only true basis of international and municipal law, and that they firmly resolved to regulate their municipal administrations, as well as their foreign relations thereby. This is the substance of this compact, and it was executed triparte by the parties, and the same was afterwards assented to, in some form, by all the sovereigns of the Christian nations of Europe, including the Pope.
