Correspondence of the Argus.

COLD SPRINGS, April 9th, 1854.
DEAR ARGUS Since you have heard from our
Lyceum two questions of the greatest interest and
importance have been discussed The first reads
as follows "Reso(red That the Sandwich Islands
should be annexed to the United States by the pres
ent administration The affirmative maintained
that the soil compared we'll with that OF our own
and its productions were varied and useful that
therefore in point Of actual valuation it could COM
pare we'll with our own rich alluvium and might
well be admitted as part and parcel of it And
further, that it is on the best sailing route from San
Francisco to the commerce Of the WEST, and at
such distance from either port as to make it very
valuable as resting point They maintained that
these Islands are to the Pacific coast what Cuba is
to the Cult of Mexico; key, station for the ma
tons sentinel, an outpost from which an alarm
may be sounded quickly to every unguarded point
They showed that America had been the instru-
ment in partially civzing and outstanding the
people, that they had assisted them to rid them
selves OF lntemperance and the pest of unprincpled
tyranny and hosts of lusts and curses and that one
OF Its missionaries had quit his special work to as
SYST IN forming 4 system Of finance that would
insure the prosperity of the Islands In considera-
t'on OF these important services and this disnter-
ested friendship, the people had always acknowl-
edged them beneactors and ever manifested dis
poSlton to reward 1t was therefore believed that
the benefit would be mutual and the union as far
as 1T may extend congenia and agreeable to both
parties
The negative contended that if these Islands
were ever united with the United States, that the
period for annexation far in the future, that it
would be impolitic to annex at present, from the
tact that it would create jealous;e5 and envy and
rear on account OF our growth in power, and that
we could only maintain rosses ion by armed forces
stationed on the Islands Further that our govern
ment was so extended and was still spreading itself
that 1t would ultimately fall to pieces of its own
weight without some checl, That the pnOnla wora
different from us in character habits and DISPOSE
tons and could never be consid red equals, That
such diversified interests would create internal disi
sensons and civil war, and that it would never do
to annex That at present the Nebraska Bill was
shaking the Union and required all our thoughts,
all our energies and all our sympathies in allayng
Ihe present disturbances. That the construction of
a Railroad from the Atlantic Ocean or Mississippi
river to California and Oregon were objects worthy
the fostering of the government, to the exclu-
sion Of minor matters
The other question debated at the last meeting,
