THOMAS JEFFERSON, HOLY ALLIANCE, MONROE DOCTRINE, AND MR. SCRUGGS ■Editor Constitution: In your issue of ■ Wednesday Mr. W. D. Scruggs, who ' classes himself as one of my •'friends j and admirers,” arraigns me as a care- ; inaccurate historian, and specifier, two glaring and important misstate- i moots in my last book. The statements i which he denies are: (I) That it was the purpose of the ( f-oly alliance to compel th' South Amer ' Iran republics to return to their alle- I itance to Spain; and (2) that Jefferson's ; - tt- t ol' October, 1823, was the ''first ' lii:l and explicit declaration of the Mon roe doctrine.” 'Both these statements,” says Mr. Scruggs, "are, of course, historically in- i correct.” At the imminent risk of giving the I 1 Scruggs a gentle shock, 1 deliberate i p at bath these statements, ami 1 wt prove them both to be correct. ; Mr. Scruggs says that 1 cite no au- HaTy. for “the good and sufficient rea- I . in that there is none.” This curt and ! peremptory method of settling historical j spates will hardly commend itself to intelligent reader. Had Mr. Scruggs written to me for my authority, as so my have done with reference to other points, J would have given it, as I hav > done in so many other cases. Jt it in spite of the fact that be stands ■i th" class of the "friends and admir- - he publishes to the world his pos v- declaration that my statements are - >t founded on fact, and have no evi to support them. If 1 have de- | ctt .v or recklessly falsified history ; int not worthy of any man’s friend- I ? and admiration; but if both my ■•nni'f are accurate and capal.de of | " ‘ then Mr. Scruggs has been guilty . : \■ . y hasty and unwarranted crili- i :id not the holy alliance mean to ! ring back to Spain her revolted coin- : Had m>t the king of Spain up- I ded to the holy allies to restore to j rim his lost provinces? As clearly as | any political scheme which never mat"- i -d is capable of proof, the pur- I -of the holy alliance to restore South ■ ' ; <t. a to Spain is provable. X stated in my "Story of France,” "Napoleon” and “Jefferson,” the real j irjc.-e of tile holy alliance was to re- ‘ stui- ibsolutism, divine right anti the ; . ti" -w.-ty of kings.

Now let ma ask your readers; is it not barely possible th it 1 t'amtir.g the British minister, knew the innner plans of the holy alliance a.i ! ; thoroughly as W. E. Scruggs knows ' | them? I.et us turn to M.-Master's "History of the People of the I'nits'd States." Vol. i i 5. On page 44, after stating how the j ! French army, at th- dictation of the . holy alliance, entt red Spain for the pur- i : pose of setting up the king by force Os j : arms, the historian states: "That moment Canning began to act ; lie k:i--w. as everybody knew, that when i the allies had once settled the af'airs of | .Spain they would go on and settle those; i of her former colonies.” ‘ Settle them how? I By crushing democracy and restoring i the authority o! the king. On page 35 (Vol. 5) McMaster states that the king Os Spain exhausted his ire-sources against the colonies in vain, and that then lie turned to the kings of Europe for aid. “They had restored to him his throne. It is not surprisin..-, therefore, that he should ask them to restore his colonics.” On page 1 7 1 of Elson's ‘ Side TJghts on American History” the author states ' • *-'*tb.e holy alliance, ever vigilant to uphold absolutism against natural hu- i man rights and liberties, proposed to i aid Si ain In subjugating her western , t possessions." j Turn now to Canning's "Student’s Hi-:- 1 tore of the I'nltcd States.” page 378: I "In 1523 Franco, in the name of the ' holy aillan' ■ , r--. tori d the Spanish king ! to nis throne, lb- eag»-ciy besought ais i folloi.-mon.-ir -hs io ei.-inp.’-'lc th'-ir work ! by re-lorn ;;- his authority in the rcbel : lions American colonies.” ■ The inthor then proc •ds to say that it. I was the fear of tins design which caused ; (fanning to take action in England. The : I h ading member of the holy alliance, tho i Czar Alexander of Russia, had gone so | ■ far as to furnish the king of Spain with' ■ a number of war vessels for the express ' purpose of helping Spain to reconquer la: colonies. S--e McMaster (Vol. 5, j page 36). : Thus I could go on quoting one an- i ' thority after another to sic-lain my stale-' ment that the holy alliance intended to ■ compel tin- South American republic io . : return to the crown of Spain. ; Apparently Mr. Serttgg.-; was afraid l i that the public would not know that th i ' holy alliance had oilier 1: "i t > fry m i addition to the South American colonies, I ■ unless lie mad- that fact notorious; but ■ > as I li. d not said that the Spanish ’ ! sola in.- was the on);,- business of tl.-? ! holy alliance, it seems: to me that his ■ < feats were groundless. <il course it Is : nossibl - that in the finiil readjustment ->•' I I Europe ti-o So tnislt colonies might hav beeti divided around among the robber.:, i ili p th" primary and o- nsible purpose i nt the holy alliance with reference to ; tie Sp.ur.ish Colonie.: was: to force the a I back under the yoke of Spain.

The fact is Mr. Watson did not contradict any ’of I the accepted facts of history, but he I omitted giving Jeffer n full credit.

My mother suffered in the same way and I suppose mine was an inherited tendency. At one time I was in agony. I suffered so severely and became so weak that my doctors said 1 could not live thirty days. At this time I had not slept over two hours a night on account of nervousness. '1 he least exercise, such as walking about, would bring on palpitation and fluttering of the heart so severe that I would have to give up everything and rest.

One was Peter Elliott ,a heavily armed Swede, claiming to be from Minnesota, and the other a sailor recently dishon orably discharged from the United States navy. Elliott's mission to the white lionise was of i hostile nature, for when trapped by the local policemen on duty at the executive mansion, after having eluded tlie secret service men at the president s private office adjoining, he made a vio lent attempt to escape ami severely wounded o.ie of the policemen "Ito as sisted in lii,3 final capture. At the white lu.ui'A an effort was made to suppress the details of the affair, fear ing that it might incite others to cat' ll the crank lever in view of the fact that within less than a week live dangerous cranks have been arrested quietly at the white house. Four days ago Elliott sent a letter to the president tli-mamiing an interview. , Accompanying the letter was a photo graph of the sender. Private Secretary Eoeii at once recognized Hie communi cation as a "cr.'iiii. elt'iision,” and accord- I ingly turm.-.l it over to th S'-cret service guard on duty at the while- house.
