The Philadelphia North American says
''the possession of San Domingo wasdeemed
desirable by President Buchanan upon
reasons presented to him by the State De-
partment. by the Naval Department, and
by statesmen who looked to the future
domination of the Gulf and the West Indies.
Upon the same basis precisely President
Grant has approved and advocated it,
because the island afards the best harbor
in the GUlf. and holds 4 position in the
West Indies 50 important that in our hands
it would neutralize the Importance Of Cuba.
These are reasons Of State that far transcend
the frivolous stuff with which Mr. Sumner
sought to render the annexation unpopular.
They are reasons that no one pretends 10 be
original. They are to be found in the ss
tablishel policy Of the American State De
partment policy that is sure to govern,
no matter who may be President, and I
policy that hostile journals cannot perma-
nently defeat or set aside. because its path
way Is that Of national interest, honor, pros
perity and ascendency. The proposition 10
annex san Domingo originates in no mere
lust Of dominion. but in the determination
to render American commerce Independent
and iar-reaching; in the desire to defend
our interests in the Gulf Of Mexico and the
West Indies, and especially to command and
defend tine outlet Of the Mississippi 1t Is
proper, therefore, that the people should
know that this is no mere personal scheme
of General Grant lie found it IN the es
tablished policy Of the government, and he
approved il because he saw that the reasons
in its favor were strong and ought to be con
yincing As for ourselves, we approved it
when President buchanan proposed it. just
the same a. we now do. For our faith in
the nation Is immOyabe.
