Is indeed q qresIion OF grave consideration
whether eur recent and present example Is
not calculated 10 check the growth and eI-
pansion OF free principles, and max, those
communities distrust ifnot discard a gov
eminent which nj will consigns 10 military

resist any attempts by other nations to ex'
tend to this hemisI here the monarcical in
situations Of Europe, assumes TO establish
over a large portion OF it's people ruic
more absolutely harsh AMI iyrannical than
any known 10 civilized powers. The ac-
ouisition Of Alaska was made with the
view Of extending national jurisdiction and
republican principles in the American hem
isphere. Believing thot n further step
could be taken in the same direction, | last
year entered into treaty with the King Of
Denmark for the purchase Of the Islands Of
81. Thomas aud 81. John with the best
forms then atia.naLle, and with the express
consent Of the people Of those islands. This
treaty still rcmoins under consi ieration in
the Senate. a new convention has been
entered int with Denmark, enlarging the
time fixed for the final ratification Of the
original treaty. Comprehensive national
policy would seem 10 sanction the acqnisi-
lion and incorporation into our federal
Union of the several adjacent continental
and insulsr communities as speedily as il
can be done, peacefully, lawfully and with
out any violation Of national justice, faith
or hoaor. Foreign possession or control Of
those communities has hitherto bur1ened
the growth and impaired the influence Of
the United States. Chronic revolution and
cnarchy there would be equally injurious ;
each one of them when firmly established
as an independent republic or when incor.
porated into the United States would be a
new source Of strength and power. Con-
forming my administration to these princi
ples, | have on no occasion lent support OF
liberation to unlawful expeditions, set OIL
foot upon the Plea Of republican propagan'
disemcnt Of national extension or aggran-
disemen.. The necessity, however, of re
pressing such unlawful movements clearly
sndicstes the duty which rests upon us o.
adapting our legislative action to the new
circumstances of q decline of European
monarchical power and Influence, and The
increase Of tho American republican idea
interest and sympathy. 1t cannot he long
before il will become necessary for this gov
eminent to lend some effective aid to the
solution Of the political and social problem!

OF St. Domingo. and which are now disclo
sing themselves more distinctly than here
tofore in the island of Cuba The subiec
is commended to your consideration Will
all the more earnestness because | am sat
isfed that the time has arrived when ever
so direct proceeding as proposition fo
an annexation OF the two republics of thu
island Of st. Domingo, would not only re
ceive the consent of the people interested
but, also, would give satisfaction to al
other foreign nations. | am aware that
upon the question OF further extending oil
possessions, il is apprehended by SOM
that our political system cannot success
fully be applied TO IN asea more EXTENDED
than our continent; but the conviction i
rapidly gaining ground in the American
mind that with the increased facility fu
ntercommupication between all portions
Of the earth, the principles of free govern
mont, as embraced in Que constitution, j
faithfully maintained and carried out
would prove Of sufficient strength an,
breadth to comprehend therein the wide
spread influence Of the civilized nations 0
the world.
