This Government has never negotiated with doubtful authority. and here. certainly. the Hawaiian is doubtful authority. I say we should not entertain a proposition from such a source. But the case of Texas was different. She was blood of our blood. She was our kith and kin. Her population had emigrated from our part of the country. and had settled there for the purpose of establishing a government. and they did it. When the vote was cast in Texas there were some 8.000 in favor of annexation against 342 in opposition to it. That is another link as we go along showing the difference between the two cases.
