Is it not about time for demagogues, in Congress and out, to have done with ignorant and senselees gabble concerning the Monnor doctrine? Some superficial writers for the newspapers have indulged in foolish and in- consequent utterances on this subject, with- out contradiction or correction, until the pablic mind has beeome utterly bewildered in regard to the origin and scope of that notable declaration, Mr. Monnok never intended that it should have any practical effect. He enunciated the doctrine in his annual message to Congress ‘under an inspiration that he scarcely under- Btood, and knew not how to resist. He re- commended no legislative action, and Con- grees took no cognizance of the saljcct. The whole matter has long since passed into the domain of history ; and it Is perhaps not surprising that the generation which has tome upon the stage since the evente that talled the declaration forth have been for- gotten should accept as gospel the state- ments and deductions of journals of no more authority than tho New York Ti And now, even the St. Domingo job is brought forward under cover of this so-called “doe trine” by President Grant, who probably knows as little about it as any other white man on the continent of America, Tt has devolved upon THe Sun to enlight: on the Administration at Washington on sev. eral points respecting which lamentable ob ecurity and confusion Lave prevailed ; and as an act of charity and benevolence we will farnish a succinct statement of the circum stances under which President Monnor, half acentury since, made this somewhat ‘amous declaration, end the object aimed to be ac complished by it. Mr. Monnor, the Inst of the Presidente contributed to the country from the large stock of heroes left as a legacy by the Revo lution, was an amiable old gentleman, of excellent intentions, prudent and cautious to & degree that verzed upon timidity, and sub- ject to the influence of the three great men of his Cabinet, AbAms, CaAWroKD, and CaLtnouy. They were wise and far-seeing statesmen, full of activity and enterprise, and fond of strony and decided measures—bold and determined—just the men to supplement the deficiencies of the facileminded and easy-going President. The doctrine amount- ed to this: that the United States would not ook with complacency upon any attempt by European governments to plant colonies on this continent ; and the implication was that ff Spain should undertake to repossess her. pelf of the countries of South America which she had lost by successful revolution, the ac quiescence of the United States could not be calculated upon, At that time the Holy Alli. ‘ance was in full vizor,the bulk of continental Europe being included in it, Revolutionary France, under Bonaranre, had frightened tho sovercigus half out of their senses, and Qhey were pledged to each other to put down, by force if necessary, any republ can manifestations, Great Britain Was not a party to this anderstand- fng, and was therefore regarded with dis érust and apprehension by the other great powers, Iu this exigency Mr. CANNING, then Prime Minister of England, sought to for. tify his Government by an understanding wth the United States, Mr. Rusu, who Tepresented our Goveromeat in London, was ®ounded by the astute Englishman, but he had no authority to respond tothe overture. The growing power of Russia caused great alarm in England, and the encroachments of the Emperor ALEXANDER in the north- wost of America were epecially apprehended Mr. Leavitt Hannis, thea American Chargé @’Affaires at St. Petersburg, was approached by the British Minister under the direction of Cannrnu ; and after some correspondence with the Washington Government, Presi dent Monnon was indueed to insert in his Qnnual message the ambiguous and empty Menace known ak the “ Monnog doctrine.” Tt was a harmless little swagger, indicating Bothing, and followed by no action of any kind, But it accomplshed all that was hoped for Ly the statesman on whose eng. gestion it was pronounced. ‘The sovereigns of the Continent opened their eyes with con sideruble interest, supposing that Jory Bua and Uxcte Sam had entered into an ar rang ment that might in certain contin Bene es lead to decided measurcs Phe modern interpretation of the doctrine would have terrified Mr, Monnor beyond deser ption, Apcording to the present un derstanding of it, we were committed to a course of invasion and eonqnest that could only have terminated when we had taker possession of North America, and guaranteed the independence of the rest of the con. ftinent. Bat th ring the declam, of July orat was no harm done, bar ory nonsense which Pourth and other petty. spouters have siuce inflicted upon a lonpesuiloring people - ee President Gront on Cuba, The President, probably in the belief that Cabs is one of these subjects about whieh “the least said the soonest mended,” merely Asserts in bis messaye that “it is not under Btood that the condition of the insurrectio, ‘mn Cuba has materially changed since the thom of the last session of Congress.” 4s utterly mistaken and untrue. Since the close of the Jast session of Con Brees, the CaptainGonoral of the island has Fetorned from his campaign in Camaguey Utterty wneuevewsful, and thoroughly con: Vinoed diet the revolution cannot be sap prewed, Since that date the Spaniards have furrendercd in the Eastern, the Central, and the Villas Departments every acre of land Shey theu attempted to hold, and have been This forced by the patriots to confine them@el ves | were sumtime false. How then is he likely to their seaports and the few interior town which they had previously fortified. Simec that date the Spanish fored im Cuba has been decreased by at least twenty thousand mea, and that of the patriots augmented by some two to three thousand Sineo that date Spain has officially con fosaod, by tho acceptance of Gen. Di Rovas's resignation, that she no longer holds eny dominion over Cuba; for the original object of Dx Ronas’s appointment was as much the suppression of the volunteurs, who had jnst expelled Gen, Derce, as the conquest of the plution; and today Byain hae resigned island to Varmasepa and his crew. In fact, Prosident Gitana's assertion is correct but in one particular, Biuce the close of the last session of Congress there has been no change in the nature of the war earried on hy the Spaniards, As many, if not more, vie- tims have beon garroted; and as many, if not more, defencelees old mon, women, and children have been inhumanly murdered, violated, and mutilated. But if Gen. Grant fails to understand that any material change has taken place in the condition of things in Cuba, is he equally unable to comprehend the change which has taken place in the mind of the American people in regard to the Cuban question? Can he not see what is so patent to all the worll? For two years tho influence of Spanish money has cajoled his Secretary of State into the belief, firet, that the Culan revolution could be easily and quickly sup. pressed ; then that if this Administration dared to recoguize the belligerency of the Cubans, Spain wonld declare war against us ; and lastly that she might sell the island. All these promises and threats held out by Spain wore and are absurd, and wo have re peatedly proved them to be 80; but Spain has been liberal enough to make Haminvon Fisu believe them ; and in this fallacy, aod in the hope that he might immortalize him- self by contriving and securing an impossi Dility, the status gio has been for two years maintained in Cuba; a war for the perpetua. tion of slavery and the slave trade has been waged there; Cubans have been massacred by American arms, while they have not been suffered to import such arms to defend them- selves; and Sprin has had our passive ave at auce in suppressing the revolution and re. storing the slave trade. The American people by this time fully comprehend the matter, and are justly in dignant at the cowardly part which an io npetent Secretary of State and his hired inlaw have made them play. Will President Gant never be able to under. stand this? ee eames Porter’s Latest Letter. Admiral Portex has written a character. istic letter to the Presidout, which we repro- duce in another column. He confesses that the letter to Secretary WELLES abusing Gen, Grant, which Tue Sun published last week, wae a genuine production of his pen. He avers, however, that the sentiments he then #0 freely expressed to Secretary WELLES were never really entertained by him. “I regret exceeding]: he says to the President, “the loss of your friendship ; and I do not hesitate to disapprove the sen timents of which, I suppose, I must bear the odium.” However, he tries to make tie President believe that the publication of this letter will not do him any harm. Nothing that I have said will affect your fair fame, and your many friends would be sadly wanting in judgment if they were at all influenced by the silly exultations of a few unscrupulous persons, who, after all, are only rejoicing over the most contemptible Lreach of confi dence I ever heard of.” ‘This means, we sup pose, not Porren's breach of confidence to- ward Grant in praising him to his face and slandering him behind his back, but some Lody’s breach of confidence in furnishing the letter for publication. PonTEn aeges that it was “published by a person who once held a prominent position under the Govern- ment.” Who is it that he means? Is it Secretary WELLES? Lf 80, we can sssure lim that Mr. WetLes had nothing what- ever to do with the revelation of the letter, Tur Sex, which alone published it entire, procured it from different quarter. But why does Admiral Porrer suppose that the President will believe him now when he declares that, although he wrote the WeLLEs letter, he did not really think what he said init? How is the President going to know what are the real sentiments of such a man? Can he place any reliance upon the word of the Admiral when he thus contra dicts himself * Can he place any reliance upon his word at any rate ? Gen, Grant must remember very well the history of the rebel guns of Grand Gulf On th h of April, 1863, Admiral Porter attacked Grand Guit with his iron-clads, and fought the rel 4 there with all his might Then he withdrew, having eecomplished nothing, the rebel guns firing at him d out of range. Two days afterward, on May 1, Grant fought the battle of Port Gibson, some fifteen m les Grand Gulf, and won it for six hours, as he move ‘ast In conse quenee the rebels abandoned th fortifica tions at Grand Guif, not long before daylight on the morning of May 2, and precipitately retreated to Vicksburg, blowing up their mugay nes, and leaving on the ground the artillery of the fort which was too heavy to Le moved. As soon as Admiral Porrer heard the explosion, he hurried up in a tug boat, sot ashore in the course of the morn ing, and took possession of this artiiery u he had each gun marked with white paint in these words—we quote them from “Captured by the U. 8.

The California Senators have done well in bringing forward at the very beginning of the session bills to abolish the income tax They propose thet it should terininate for- ever with the year 1870. We are glad to see both Democrats and Nopublicans engaged in this good work. When the income tax was firet enacted as a war mensure, the representatives of both par ties voted for it; and now that it isto be re pealed, the meswure should not have nay thing of @ partisan character.- ‘The income tax iscloarly unconstitutional It is most odious because of its inquisitorial character. It is unjust becanse it fs not levied on all incomes alike, and because it does not bear equally on all parts of the country, It should be repealed at once. That is the trae revenue reform, and there onght not to be any opposition to it, in Con- gress or eleowhere, " Whilo the French armies aro showing themselves determined not to die without mak- ing aw sign, the French navy scems to be ines. pable of netivity, It ts impossible to account for this inertness when we consider that if the Ger- mans e ynlnerable anywhere, ft is on the sea. The French naval forces have always been sup- posed to rank with thore of England and the United States; and yet since the beginning of the war they have proved to be as uscless as if they had been captured by the puny squadrons of thei enemy. They might have intlicted a severe blow upon Germany by bombarding her seaports, but have frittered away the time in unprofitable movements, without attempting to strike a single important blow. Now that Baauneoann is said to have been offered a command in the French army, perhaps the redoubtable Semwes may be commissioned to set in motion their navy. ————— A correspondent favors us with the in formation that Mr. A.

On the other hand, a number of Washington prop: erty holders are making a strenuous effort to exalt the prestige of that city as the national cap- ital, by organizing @ gorgeous carnival festival ‘on the 22d of February next, on the oceasion of the completion of the wooden pavement in Penn- sylvapia avenue, Considering that the Washing- ton winter season is generally regarded as o carnival in itself, there seems to be po occasion for singling out any particular day for such # purpose. Is there not enough going on all the tine from the opening to the adjournment of Congress, and up to the time of the return of the President to the summer capital at Long Branch ?
