SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The Journal of Commerce" does not favor the
annexation of the Sandwich Islands. The fact Git
says that they not in the possession of strong
Power, and that they are open to the ships of all
nations on terms of equality should satisfy the peo-
pie of the United States. In our judgment that is
precisely the relation they should occupy to the
commerce Of the world. It would be the duty of
the United States to protest against the acquisition
Of this group by any other nation it is the in
terest OF other nations to prevent its acquisition by
u.s. Those islands are as necessary to the commerce
Of other communities as they are to our commerce.
The selfishness which seeks to obtain them for our
exclusive purpose may cost more than we suppose.
Ii the option of taking them for nothing, in prefer
ence to allowing them to remain as they are, were
offered to the country, we believe that the true in
teres of the United States would best be consulted
by refusing to receive them; but to pay $500, 900
per annum to the King as long as he lived, and o
like sum to his successor as long as he lived for two
volcanoes and hundred thousand natives, would be
the extreme of folly, especially as if we attempt to
hold them exclusively, we might purchase contest
