Numbers of our people are so solicitous to extend
the limits Of freedom that they stand prepared at
moments warning to annex Cuba, the Lobos and
Sandwich Islands, and in fact all the Islands on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They seem to be
anxious to begin with Cuba; and the sale of that
island to the black Emperor would only precpitate
the movement. The annexation of islands may
satisfy their appetites for time but the period
will arrive when nothing less than the whole of
Mexico will suffice; for the word is onward, and
onward we shall 90 until, weakened by expansion,
