I beg leave to suggest the inquiry whether the period has not arrived making it proper. wise. and sagacious for the United States Government to again consider the project of annexing the Hawaiian Islands to the territory of the Republic. That such is to be the political destiny of this archipelago seems a foregone conclusion in the opinion of all who have given attention to the subject In this country. the United States. England. France. andGermany. A majority of the aborigines. creoles. and naturalized foreigners of this country. as I am credibly informed. are favorable. even anxious for the consummation of the measure named. The native population is fast disappearing. The number existing is now estimated at 45.090. having decreased about 15.000 since the census of 1866.
