II AN ENTHUSIAST.
Senator Morgan Ii Certain That
Hawaii IL tle Worlds Garden


maintains that IL is Democratic polic.
and in support of this opinion oites tn
action taken by William l.. Marcy
secretary of state under Presiden
Pierce. As early as 1854 Seeretar,
Marcy formulated treaty of annex
alton, which was pending Mt the time o
the death of King kamohameha III
The Alabama senator contends that
when the vote IL taken upon ratification
of the pending treaty Of annexation 1
will show division of Democrats, am
perhaps, of Republicans, but he is con
tident that 1t will be ratified by two
thirds of the senate
The senator, however, holds that tn,
defeat of the treaty will in no wa,
prevent the territory from becoming 4
part Of the domain of the United States,
Indeed, he has believed from the first
that the proper way to absorb the
islands IL by joint resolution OF
congress, Appropriations will be
necessary for the erection of the new
government over the territory when
acquired, and II the treaty is ratified
that action must be followed immediate.
ly by legislation providing for the
government Of the new territory.
ANNEXATION Of TEXAS,
The senator cites the case Of the
annexation Of Texas When Texas WAS
a republic treaty of annexation was
rejected twice by the United States
senate after full debate. The opinion
Of many leaders At that time was that a
Joint resolution was the better Way Of
accomplishing the merging of the
Sovereignty of one government into
another, While the point is rather n
fine one. The contention was that the
treaty established the political relations
If the contracting governments, and eS'
pressed their intentions 10 enter into
certain new relations; vet the treaty
must terminate by the very act con
templa,ed and q provide for the con-
tlnaance ef the relation intended an
set of congress WAS best suited. In
ether werSis. should the treaty Of
aawSn b ratified the treaty itself
eeSSeS 10 operate the instant it takes
eject, Hawaii becomes part Of the
territory af the United States, and
laSeS the power Of making or living
anaer = treaty, This may he legal
hair splitting, ha; il WAS debated very
Aslly when the treaty fer anaexins
Texas was under consideration. and the
Judgment then was against snnesias sn
power solely by treaty.
\ Inference is made II this fact NOW
because If the pending treaty is defeated
ansa the merits ot annexation by ether
process some senators may he found
who will vote in the Affirmative who
had voted against the treaty.
