considerations. As commercial measure the
annexation of the Sandwich Islands would be
highly advantageous to the United States; asa
political question it is freighted deeply with
trouble.
The Loco-Foco party dsheartened by the in
herent weakness of their candidate, and his most
unfortunate antecedents and surroundings and in
cited by the success Of the Texas scheme and
grown most desperate for the Spoils-are ready to
adopt any measure, regardless of consequence,
that may float them into power.
They will find men worthy of their steel, in the
Senate and out Of it, ready to canvass that ques-
ton from one end of the country to the other.
Yours, KORNER.

WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug. Q, 1852.
ut Is commonly reported that there is
both corruption and frauds among u.s. and Gen.
SAM HOUsToN, a Senator in Congress from Texas,
has asked for Committee, with power to send
for Persons and Papers, and to examine persons
on cath. The Senate complied and the Commit
tee consists Of HoUsToS, BoRLAND, UNDERWOOD,
BROOKE and MERRIwETHER. 1t looks fermida-
BILE, being secret and strikes in the dark while
the resolution is a charge and an admission that
there is bribery and corruption in Congress. Who
would believe it, and who would undertake to
prove it ? In Court Of Justice, where witnesses
be compelled to testify, under rigid cross.
examination, with the pains and penalties
Of perjury staring them full in the face.
We knew how very difficult it is to prove
fraud, and who will volunteer to go and testify Of
their own or others infamy before self.constitu-
ted committee, with no power to compel person
to testify before it 1t is a farce, got mp to ope
rate upon the fears Of ALL for all alike have snnsd
Some suppose that is the constructive mileage
that is aimed at Others that it is the Collins line
of steamers; and others, that it is nothing but a
feint, to cover aud protect the Senate and its Off
GERS, WhO are all honorable men. What the aims
and objects, Of the mover may be, doth not yet ap
pear, but it is both clear and manifest, to all men
and some women, that any investigation into
frauds at this late hour of the session
is a farce and will be a failure. There is enough
to alarm any honest patriot but however alarm
ing and enormous the corruptions may be, this
Committee of Investigation will only smother
without putting out the fire. Gen. HOUsTON sus-
poets his colleague, and although Gen. RCsK adj
vocated the appropriation for the COLLINS Line,
he did so honestly, and is, or should be, above
suspicion. 1t is thought that Gen. HoUsrON
is Jealous of his colleague, and wishes to
bling him down a peg or two, or perhaps
set him back year or two. Perhaps Gen.
IloUsToN thinks he can bring something out
70 the prejudice of Wing Administration, and
that it will tell with some effect upon the ap-
preaching Presidential election. If there is bri-
berry in Congress- let the members all be sworn be-

send for the Mexican Commission, and swear

WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug. g 1872.
There Is good reason to believe that the
leaders Of the spurious Democracy in the Senate,
N CONJUNCTION with their special organ, me
t"oR'J are about to bring out the IHmea'aie
annexation Of the Sandwich Islands as raIiyihg
cry Tor the party in this campaign.
twill be remembered that the President re-
Gently refused to communicate with the Senate IN
regard to the position Of affairs between the
United States and the Islands, on the ground that
twoud be incompatible with the pubic inter-
tsts."
The facts are briefly these: About year
since. the King Of the Sandwich Islands fearing
an invasion by the French, and moved ny other
considerations, proposed TO this Government 10
annex his dominions to this cOuntry-they TO be-
con. state in the American Union.
To learn what action was had if any, upon this
proposition, was the object Of the Senate's reso'
lstion.
The geographical position Of the Sandwich
Islands, their fertility and adaptation to the cur
tare OF Rice, Sugar &c, are all strong arguments
with those who are satisfied to look no further.
but there is a question involved which no dlspas
fionate man can looLgcaelessly in the tace-fHi
hioPrsNG or THE QUESTION OF SLAYIHY EAfEN-
SION. That the Islands are as admirably adapted
70 Slave Labor as any part Of the world, canno.
re oeniec The South would insist upon thus
condition, while no lover Of Freedom in the North
"ouid consent to it. TIE bare idea would be re-
'o"ng' To reclaim the islands of tho sea from
'ne oslths Of Cannibaiisln and Ileathen darkness
70 'eer therein the cross OF ChHst-snd With the
ssme hand to plant Human Slavery on the same
COZ, would be stratse sight indeed. 60,
there were danger that these lsIafds would
&c a0sorbsdby France or England, then it might
JUSTLY immediate action by this Government.
but 10 such danger exists. Both France and
England are bound by treaty not to.acqlire such
possession. This treaty was made after British
meet took possession Of the I,lands ia 1913, and
fah up the British flag. Mr. WEBSTER was Sec
Istary Of State at the time the treaty entered
INTO, and refused, on thepart Of the United States
70 become party to it, on the ground that no
sueh necessity existed.
