the Rev. Drs Smith, and Early, of Virginia Green,
of Tennessee, and Parsons, of Kentucky, for the
South; and Messrs Carlton, Phillips. Porter, and
Rev. DR.. Peck, for the Northern Church, Judge

100000, making total of over 4OO,OOO,OOO Of

many as live under this republic Should our popu

LATER FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.


The dates from the Sandwich Islands are to the
Sth of Oct. IS days later.
The recent change of Ministers seems to have sat
isied the people for the present. and affairs were
proceeding very quietly. Owing to discrepancy
between the Constitution and the Organic Acts. H.
r. H. Prince Lot Kamehameha has temporarily rs
signed The Premiership, and that it has pleased His
Nsies'v to re-annnint John Young, Esq, to the Of
fee of Kuhina Nui
The Argus, although opposed to Annexation,
opens its columns TO the advocates of the measure
Several elaborate articles in its favor have recently
appeared The writer, in discussing at length the
various objections made to Annexation, says
The export of sugar alone 10 California, during
the last month. amounted to a very large sum. Cof-
fee though but little cultivated, has always found
ready purchaser in the land of gold and if the plan
tiers are able to sustain themselves under the pres
ent heavy duties that they are compelled to pay to
the Government ofthe United States isit not plain
ly apparent how great and important stimulus
would be offered to the cultivation of the soil if this
objection were removed? But these are not by any
means the only articles that could be successfully
cultivated for expectation in this fertile group of
islands. A never failing market for all the tropical
fruits that could be grownhere would be discovered
oranges pine apples, bananas melons, &c form a
most valuable branch of business between Cuba and
the United States, as any one conversant with the
subject IS aware But were sugar and coffee the
only articles that are capable of raising for ex-
portation, we should under the protecting wing of
the American Eagle find larger consumer than
we were able TO supply.
The writer then goes on to show that the natives
are all rapidly fading away-that an industrious
population Is necessary to recuperate the Islands,
that no such population can be expected by union
with France or Great Britain. and that it is only by
annexation to the United States that an mmigra-
ton could be effected. THAT will revive the decay
ing energies of this nation for to all others they are
comparatively Of little value and no other can be
compared to the United States in the amount of
mutual advantages that will be conferred, for no
other Will bring the same amount of population with
the energy and the industry to develop the resources
of the soil ="

SPAIN AND THE SALE OF CUBA-MR SoULE-The

oPAIN AND THE SALE OF CUBA-MR. SOULE-The
following is extract from private letter, dated
MADRID, Nov. 3, 1853.
my last letters have impressed upon you that
the que stOn Of Cuba Is misunderstood in the United
States. Too much importance has been placed up
on the idea that the inordnate pride of old Spain
would be almost insuperabe objection to the ac-
qusiiion of that much Overrated island.
Before Mr.. SOuies arrival here had come to the
conclusion that with fair display of sagacity that
object Of his mission nigh be obtained. | am GER
tain Of it 1t is question not Of pride but of
income and our minister with his polished and skill
ful diplomacy, united with personal bearing char
ming TO the Spaniard, will find it easy TO present
and arrange this affair of Cuba. Indeed the only
point about which he need entertain any fears IS
the difference between what the Queens Govern
ments get now and what be agrees to pay for these
old fashioned people in Spain here understand how
TO make one pay as well as some others who boast
of higher condition Of morals. After tedious and
most dligent investigation, my impression is that
the income from Cuba accruing TO the Queens Gov
eminent is very much overTated. | have not vet
had an opportunity Of conversng with the Minister
my whole intercourse having been with parties on
the Spanish side. More of this anon.
