The annexation to this country Of the Sand
witch Islands, bids fair, latterly, to become a
matter of fact. Recent proposals, the nature
of which are not made fully known, have
been made by the Hawaiian government; there
is no doubt, these proposals refer directly or
indirectly to annexation. 1t is understood a
proffcr of annexation was made TO the Fillmore
administration, which was rejected. This was
expected from party whose motto has always
been, narrow down and hedge in the area of
freedom.
But we are satisfied that if the proposition
has been repeated, aud now democratic adj
ministration, whose motto is, enlarge the do
minion and extend the blessings of republic
can government, is TO decide the matter, it
will be decided RIGHT. Those bright isles of
the Pacific must become stars in the coronet Of
the Republic. We copy the following re-
marks on this subject from the Washington
Union -
Whatever difference of opinion may exist as
to the proper Interpretation Of the Monroe doc
trine, all are agreed that under no circum-
stances can this government suffer the domln-
ion of the Sandwich islands TO be transferred to
any other power. Such transfer could never
be made But by violence, and in disregard of
the wishes of the people as well as Of the
government Of the islands. The present King
has announced his intention, in any difficulty
with foreign power, TO throw himself upon
the protection Of the American government
In such an emergency, the duty of this govern
ment would be sufficiently obvious. The pos
session of the Sandwich islands is essential to
the protection Of our rapidly increasing COM
merce in the Pacific. Lying midway between
California and China, in the path Of American
and Asiatic cOmmerce-canstituting cOnven-
lent rallying point for our whaling vessels, and
a necessary station for the relief and supply of
the steamships which, at no distant day, will
run from San Francisco TO Shanghai and Jed
do-they could not pass under the dominion of
any one Of the chief maritime nations without
manifest and serious detrment to American in
terests. Reclaimed from paganism by the
Jealous efforts of American missionaries, in
troduced to the comforts and reinements Of
civilization by the enterprise of American
merchants, their system Of religion, of educa-
ton and of government sustained by the gener-
Gus aid of American citizens, it is not sur
prising that the Hawaiian natives, in escaping
from the rapacity Of foreign powers, should
seek shelter under the protecting wing Of the
American Union.

The Administration.

The Baltimore Argus, in abiding to the
progress of Gen. Piercc's administration in
popularity and favor, drops q word or two
of caution worthy of the serious considera-
alton of every democrat. We read of kind
of religionists who compassed heaven and earth
to make proselytes; the wings would compass
quite as large an extent of territory to make a
breach in the ranks of the democracy. we
copy from the Argus as follows:
So far, the course OF President Pierce
seems 10 have been met with general appro-
baton. The mass of the wing papers are
either silent or express their acquiescenee in
his movements III plain terms indeed, be-
yOnd growl now and then about the remov-
al of their friends from Office, no ground Of
complaint would appear TO exist. This may
all be honest and sincere; but we do not think

true policy OF the party 10 preserve its organ

so that we may be prepared for any emer
gency which may arise in the coming future.

The GARDINER TRANscRIPr.-This paper
has chapter on Pontophobia," curious
word, which, we believe, is derived from the
French word pont0n, meaning bridge. 1t is
all bridge, anyhow, with the editor Of that pa
perm his morning prayers, midday thoughts
and evening lullabys. He sees nothing but
the Gardiner bridge, hears nothing but the
rush of the waters of the Kennebec, as they
dash past The piers, feels nothing but the creak-
ing of dra,O-and " Bridge Of Sighs," will
probably be his last reality Of the worlds ex-
perience. 1t is said he and the citizens of Gar
diner are SO much pulled up about bridges, that
they charge a stranger twenty-five cents for
looking into one of their looking glasses. The
editor Of the Skowhegan Clarion was lately
charged a cool quarter for putting on clean
dickey in the city of Gardiner We do not
know what won't come out of this Gardiner
bridge. 1t is kicking up tremendous dust
among the editors up the Kennebec. They
are getting into general fight, and the Tran
script man acts more .ridiculously than any of
them. He is very particularly nervous

the WING party never did sympathise with
the popular feeling, nor, as a party, imper-
senate the true principle upon which our
government must be administered, the ad-
nlnlsiralion may doubtless find some faith
fui supporters. Its comprehensive and pat
rlotc policy may well challenge their aid, as
i has rlready won their appreciation. We
can respect the motive aud spirit oil such
men, and we would Judge their past OPPOSE
ton to the democratic party IN no unduly
harsh or censorious spirit but our convIc-
ton is not The less clear that upon the united
national democracy-the great and victori-
Gus democratic organiZation-the admins
iraiion will found its confidence OF future
support and triumph. The administration
is theirs, and they made it. The old demo
cratic party, independent Of all cllques or
factions, and pledged 10 the equal aud stead
fast mainlance of the perpiuily OF the Union
and the just rights Of The States-the democ-
racy of Jefferson. Jackson, and Polk this
great party-never more powerful, never
more national, than now--is the sword and
shield OF the present administration. This is
the party which alone has responded TO the
true American spirit. This is the party by
which The cause of good government both in
our domestic and foreign relations has ever
been maintained. II may and it will attract
converts and adherents from other political
organizations. The. time may even be at
hand wien there shall be no effectual oppo-
slIton 10 H.. But, after all, now and for the
future, as heretofore, its reliance must be up
on itself apdsupon its own organization-up-
on itself ms the true representative Of the
Amertcan people, upon its organization as in
Guiding the orly true political principles and
the only fundamentally which can keep them
in power.

1t will be seen that the call for the State

mate a candidate for Governor has been is
sued, The occasion will be one Of interest
and responsibility 10 the democrats of this
State, and we trust such result will be devel-
Oped as shall secure the triumphant election OF
a democratic governor at the next canvass
Maine is thoroughly and overwhelmingly dem
ocratic-the candidate Of any other party can
only be elected by supineness on the part OF
our friends or division in our ranks. Let us
guard against opening breach in our OWL
columns for the triumph of our foes. We
trust the delegates will come together thorough
ly imbued with an ardent desire for the consoli-
dation Of party, and effective will for carrying
forward TO victory triumphant campaign
Let there be Cancellation, harmony and cas-
ting away of all minor issues. Let the broad
national ground work of the national democrat
ic party lie at the foundation of all action
Let there be selection of a candidate stand
ing on that ground work, and that being ac-
complished, let US rally in his support with no
doubtful zeal and no tagging spirit We must
succeed, and then Maine will be redeemed from

The Times---New Volume.

A new volume Of our paper will soon COM
inence. As many of our contemporaries have,
by their neat new suits, made considerable
noise in newspaperdom and gotten a good
many frst-rate puf1s, we have strong notion
Of dofing and laying aside our bad hat, stick
ing our old coat into a rat-hole, pitching our
boots into the Kennebec, and becoming Ne,O-
man. Faith, we'll do it, and the TINES shall
glisten like a keen new blade of Damascus.
Seriously, we design to put on improve
ments 10 the new volume. Some of our type
is worn and old. 1t did good work in the
late Presidential campaign, but now we must
have better. True, our paper always bears a
pretty good appearance, and our contemporaries
will not condemn us for assuming TOO much
when We say it is one Of the best printed pa
pers in the State butthere has been general
overhaulIng of things political lately-many
old federal rat-holes have been cleansed 1--WE
do not mean our wing friends of lie press here)
and we have got new and better set of pub
lie officers and the very best PRESIDENT since
the days of Andrew Jackson. We must reiu-
yenate our appearance.
The Times, since it came iAto our hands,
has been OUR PAPER. And thus we mean it
shall be, "unawed by influence, unbribed by
gain,' the exponent and fearless defender of
DEMOCRACY. We bow to no faction, keep
alive no fires of strife and division, recognize
no cliques, but stick to the interest of the
whole, the great Democratic Party of the I'm.
ion and the United Democracy Here, we
have prosPered, politically and financially and
here, the Lord willing, we mean to prosper
thus much, then, by way of preparing our
readers for Improvements in our paper on the
commencement Of the new volume. We shall
endeavor to make the Times an interesting
sheet and worthy Of the patronage of the pub
lie That we have succeeded in this effort, TO
certain extent, is apparent from the fact that
the subscription list has steadily increased
since the paper came into our hands, so that
now we have larger circulation than any 9th
ter paper in Bath. OGr endeayors will be con-
tinued. We have no fault to find with any
body-are pretty well satisfied with the way
the world and our patrons have used US, and
merely wish to add now that our friends and
patrons have our very best bow and warmest
thanks for their support and patronage.
