The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-08-08

What viii the administration do
about annexing Hawaii?
Do the Hawaiians want 10 be an
nexed@
Do the American people want Ha-
wall?
Would congress confirm a treaty Of
annexation?
Being neither a prophet nor the son
of prophet the writer hereof viii
make no attempt TO solve any of these
riddles, but will rather invite the at
tention OF the reader to some consider
alton OF the part occupied in the past
history of our country by this same
policy OF annexation. But for such
policy in the past manifest destiny
would have been thwarted, and in all
human probability we would be today
n very Insignificant factor in the fam
lily OF nations.
The original thirteen colonies owned
and occupied the Atlantic seabOard
from what i now Maine to the south
ern boundary Of Georgia, and among
them they laid claim 10 the country
Immediately west Of the mountains
and extending As far a the Mississippi
river.
When the war closed they had
actual possession OF what is new
Kentucky and Tennessee, by many
thousands OF settlers, and they also
had slight military occupancy OF the
Illinois country, which had been con-
Quered during the war by General
George Rogers Clarke. But in the
negotiations for peace the British
commissioners insisted strenuOusly
thar the northwestern boundary Of
the new nation should be the Ohio
river, and they came near carrying
their point. Suppose they had. and
that al the rich region lying between
Pennsylvania and the Mississippi and
the Ohio and the great lakes were to-
day a part OF Canada
It had been 80 declared by aer OF the I
British parliament. PASSED in T-z4,
and there Is no doubt thai barh France 1
and Spain would have been glad 10 4
see such boundary established and .
