THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The Boston Chronicle publishes the following
intelligence from the Sandwich Islands as coming
from perfectly reliable'source:
BY recent private letter from Honolulu we
learn that message will leave that city very
for Washington with Treaty of Annexation,
which has been drawn up in proper form, but not
yet signed, as Judge LEE, who was directed by our
Government to witness the signatures Of the in stru
ment in question, has been obliged to absent him
self from Honolulu on account Of i'll health and
consequently has not been able as yet to ate nd to
the duty assigned to him.
The Treaty is to be signed by all the Chiefs,
and they are each to receive pension, which
ceases with the death of the recipient, with the
exception Of the pension to be paid to the KING,
which is to be transferred to Alexander in case he
shall survive his Majesty. 1t is understood that
the whole amount to be paid in pensions will be
somewhere from three to four hundred thousand
dollars per annum.
The property belonging to the present Govern
ment of the Islands is to be purchased outright by
our Government for fixed sum.
The above items of intelligence may be relied
upon as correct, as they come from the highest
authority"

MASSACHUSETTS.

While the Wings Of Massachusetts have been engaged
rayng their forces against the Democratic party and
especially against the Of FRANKLIN PIERCE
they have been captured themselves by party which
has outbd them in the barter for fanatical votes We
should like the National Integencer to tell us how far
result like that in Massachusetts can be rebnke to
the Administration of FRANKLIN PIERCE when the very
party most defeated was among the loudes to assa,
vfy and persecute the President and his Cabinet? Or
will the Boston Atlas answer p Union ofyesterddy
The National Intelligencer has never made any
such remark as that quoted above, and therefore i
is not under any obligation to tell chow far result
like that in Massachusetts" rebukes any body. AS
an emanation Of the aUnions" favorite doctrine OF
"popular sovereignty" we certainly have no right
to explain the effect of the late election.

THANKSGIVING.

The Proclamatons Of the Mayors Of Washington and
Georgetown, which are published in another column, will
inform the public that the Corporate Authorities of both
the District cities have agreed upon Thursday next as
suitable day be observed for special Thanksgiving and
Prayer The custom is coeval with our Government,
and has never been omitted During the Revolutionary
struggle day was invariably set apart and the proca.
nations Of the Old Congress afford Of the best spe
cmens Of composition on the subject.
Many the States Of our Confederacy will also observe
this grateful festival Thursday next and the
for thus rendering thanks graphically presented in
the proclamatons Of of their Governors We are
reminded for instance, by the proclamation Of the Gov
ernor Of Michigan that while other nations, either for
existence avoid threatened danger
tending in bloody war; own is at peace with all the
world He who guides the destiny Of nations to
have watched ours with peculiar favor. Continually
and rapidly rising in the way Of prosperity it has reach
ed high position Of wealth, iafuence, and power among
the nations Of the EARTH These munifcent blessings
should impe all good citizens to unite in the observance
of the day.
