be finally overpowered by the popu-
lace and that the leaders would en-
danger their lives if their zeal in the
government cause carried them too
far"
Jabez Corncobb Esq. "belicved
the whole Opposition would evapo-
rate. 1t is dlsjointed, disconnect-
ed, detached, and unorganized mass
of nationaltes which cannot posi-
bly, pull together, and can offer no
successful resistance to the govern
ment. They have no journal to re-
cord their doings, call their meet
ings, or to post them in politics and
give their color to government act
ion."
Rev. DR.. Dryhash was of the
opinion that if serious revolt hap
pened that it would not matter
which way the victory went it would
be dearly bought, and anarchy
would follow. Such state of af-
fairs would be u pretext for the
seizure of the islands by one or
more of the guaranteeing powers.
In this way all the islands of the
group might be parcelled out
amongst the British, French and
American nations. In view of the
Australian cable, he felt sure that
the British would finally govern at
least portion of the group, and the
Americans another. 1t seemed TO
him natural that before British ca
BILE could be laid on this group that
there must be treaty to guarantee
its protection, and it is rumored that
already a harbor on the most
remote point of the largest
island Of the group has been fixed
upon for placing the cable and to
serve as landing for British line
of steamers between Canada and
Australia. A very small portion of
territory will serve the purposes of
British ambition on this group: but,
as sure as God made little apples,
they will have what they require !;
and there may be no trouble about
it either, as America will, doubtless,
seize the balance"
DIR. Cureall, a medical gentleman
from Boston, said that "the previous
speaker had digressed considerably
into the improbable regions of futur-
ity; but the speaker had no doubt
whatever that when the Whereabout
Islands could no longer maintain
their independence that Uncle Sam
would claim them and take posses
sion. His power is omnipetent, as
witness how the Germans cowed at
Samoa; and it would be the same
with John Bull"
The captain of the horse marines
thought differently, and "detied
hanyone present to show hinstance
where John Bull lad cowed on salt
water. The British fleets har hall
powerful at sea, and ee thought
America would do very foolish
thing were she to put hexpense
hupon distant group of hilands
that could so heasily be taken from
'er, together with their Improve
ments and chattels."
Editor Strangeways entered into Q
trade of abuse against both British
and Germans, and said that "these
two miserable nations were playing
hand and glove in the annexation
game; but Uncle Sam would swooI
down upon them some day and DIES.
troy their stolen possessions, theil
fleets, and all they had to brae
about. Uncle Sam did net cove
their OK nor their ass, but he would
teach them to behave themselves il
his presence"
The horse marine Cap said tina
"the heditor did not know what e,
was talking about;" and recon
mended that gentleman to travel {
little more, and he would get hi
national conceit considerably reduc
ed. He Thought also that sem
hexperience in French dancin,
school might teach 'em 'ow to he
have himself like a gentleman, whicl
part of lis heducation 'ad been neg
lected."
The President said that he "reall
must put stop to those chickering's
within the conclave. 1t was ba
enough to have n hostile Opposition
outside, without internal broiIs an,
alterations. We had nothing to d
with any other nation or govern
ment than our own, and he woul,
earnestly enjoin members to conin
their remarks to the political stat
of the Whereabout Islands,"
Rev. A. MANCHESTER, who is no,
the most influential member of tn
conclave, stated that he "thought
great pity that the two grea
Anglo-Saxon nations were so read
to take offence at each other. II
hoped they would never fly at eac
others Threats; because, were tina
to happen, there would be niue
blood split and the result could NO
be favorable to either. There are a
many opinions regarding the prob
abilities of future possession of thes
islands, as there are cocoanut tree
on these shores, The whole matte
rested with Providence whose plan
would be carried out by the natioI
most fitted for the work
