A FAIR lIIT.-At the late anti Nebraska
meeting in Hartford, John VI. Niles, formerly
Senator in Congress as well as Postmaster
General, thus paid his respects TO Mr.. Doug
las -
"Who is the man that 30 generously offers to
bestow this Nebraska territory, unasked, upon
the South Who Is he that would break down
the barriers Of freedom and give slavery free
course IN the plains of Nebraska and Kansas
1t is not the northern man with southern prin-
clples OF whom we hear much, but II Is the
northern man with southern interests, an owner
and holder Of slaves, But Young America
has been outdonc IN his mlgnaulmous tender.
tie is not the Pioneer IN his present COURSE
We linda more liberal offer than his recorded
III sacred history. We read there of another
who made offers OF extensive territory, of not
alone this same Nebraska and Kansas but all
the Kingdoms Of the earth, aud lie who made
the offer then, was, like Mr.. Douglas, a slave
holder. one who has slaves without number,
and VINO has them now employed assisting Mr.
Douglas IN tins enterprise. lie asked, also, as
a return for the promised possessions, that the
tempted should fall down and worship him,
while Mr.. Douglas now requires the sumo thing,
and demands as reward for his generosity,
that the South shall fall down and worship hun,
at the doors of the White House. But the
| answer OF the tempted in the olden time was,
Get thee behind me Satan. for 1t Is written,
thou shat worship the Lord thy God, and Him
only shalt thou serve : and our hope now is,
that the answer TO Mr. Douglas from the gen.
erous South will be, Get thee behind me Satan
for It is written. cursed he he that removeth the
ancient landmark"

Some week or two since the public was
warned by some Of the n. Y. papers to look
out for " startling Developments soon to be
made public in relation to the Sandwich Islands,
The developments have not arrived as yet.
1t is to be presumed however, that when they
come they will be found to have reference to
the question of annexation to the United
States. That question is the one Of greatest
Importance and most absorbing interest in
the Islands, and must continue to be till it is
settled
We received not long since from our octa-
siunal correspondent in Honolulu tho last
report Of the Collector General of Customs
for the Islands. 1t contains some statistics
which have a decided hearing on the annex
alton question II appears from this docu-
mont that the total value Of the imports INTO
the Islands for tie vcar 1858, was + PSI -
95l Is Of which S95i, 9t9 o. was the value o.
the goods from the United States, while the
whole amount of imports from Great Britain
and the British Colonies is under $40 900
and from France but $50 The total value OF
the exports was but .2S 500 II, or less than
one third of the imports from this country
alone OF the merchant vessels at the port,
of the lslands during the year, 1876 were
American, 80 British and French OF the
