The Sandwich Islands.

This group Of islands, lying in the Pa
cifo ocean, are no doubt destined to make
Z commotion in the political world
whether great or small is yet in the future.
During the late administration of Presi-
dent Fillmore. a treaty was negotiated by
the American Commissioner, providing
for their annexation to the United States.
This treaty the then administration refused
u send to the Senate,-why or wherefore
it's impossible to say, except that it is
claimed that it might injuse our relations
with France, who pretends to have some
claim upon those Islands. That may be
true; still we cannot see why President
Fillmore should not have submitted the
tteaty to the consideration of the Senate.
The first question that seemed necessary
10 be determined during the past four years,
WIS whether q particular line Of foreign
policy would give offence to some Euro
pean government, and not whether it was
essential to American interests or to the
protection Of American rights.
Facts have recently come to light, which
would seem to indicate that the time will
speedily come when the question as to who
shall govern or possess the Sandwich Isl
ands, must be determined. Shall the Uni
ted States or shall some European mon
aYchy3 tits said the King of those Islands
has sent urgent requests to our government
at Washington to protect it against the
r~apacious demands ofFrance. Shall they
be listened to?
We give below an article from the Gin.
cinnati Enquirer relative to the condition
Of those islands and their growing i'm
portance 10 the United States. OF the
treaty referred to above the Enquirer says
No exceptions to the conditions of the
/. treaty, TO be performed on our side, could
have been taken, as they were Of but little
importance, the principal n being a pen
sion Of twelve thousand dollars a year fol
life settled upon the present King Of the
Islands, with some other little a%nnuitiss

Gentlemanly Candor.

Acsrtain wing contemporary is making
. great fuss about the extravagance Of
sslecofocoism,' and parades in big, black
figures the amount Of the State levy for
1853, being "51 cents on every hundred
dollars for State purposes alone"
Will this a editor please call on the
Asditor Of his county, and look at whig
Auditor Woods circular for 1851, and he
viii find that the State levy, apart from the
lazy for School purposes. was 80 cents on
every hundred dollars. In 1859, apart
from the levy for School purposes, it was
so cents, and in 1858, also. leaving off the
School levy. Il is still but 80 cents. The
whole article referred to above, is intend.
ed to leave the impression that the State
levy has been increased on account of the
"exifavagance' of the democratic party,
when the levy, except for school purposes.
il precisely the same as last year, and less
than for the year before. "How this world
