Side 1 - In view of the facts which had been laid before me, and with an earnest desire to maintain the
Side 1 - During the last session of Congress a treaty for the annexation of the Republic of San Domingo to the United States failed to receive the requisite two-thirds vote of the Senate. I was thoroughly convinced then that the best interests of this country, commercially and materially, demanded its ratification. Time has only confirmed me in this view. I now firmly believe that the moment it is known that the United States...
Side 2 - I believed that I would be derelict in my duty if I did not take measures to ascertain the exact wish of the Government and inhabitants of the republic of San Domingo in regard to annexation, and communicate the information to the people of the United States. Under the...
Side 2 - ... unbiased, to learn all the facts about the government, the people, and the resources of that republic. He went certainly as well prepared to make an unfavorable report as a favorable one, if the facts warranted it. His report fully corroborated the views of previous...
Side 1 - ... report accompanies this message. He stated further that, being weak in numbers and poor in purse, they were not capable of developing their great resources; that the people had no incentive to industry on account of lack of protection for their accumulations, and that if not accepted by the United States — with institutions which they loved above those of any other nation — they would be compelled to seek protection elsewhere. To these statements I made no reply and gave no indication of...
Side 204 - Disputes and controversies which may arise with regard to the interpretation or execution of this contract shall be resolved by the tribunals of the Republic in accordance with the laws of the nation, and shall not in any case be considered as a motive for international reclamations.
Side 4 - ... the resources of the country ; its mineral and agricultural products; the products of its waters and forests ; the general character of the soil; the extent and proportion thereof capable of cultivation ; the climate and health of the country ; its bays, harbors, and rivers; its general meteorological character, and the existence and frequency of remarkable meteorological phenomena ; the debt of the Government and its obligations, whether funded and ascertained and admitted, or unadjusted and...
Side 114 - ... reduced to a mere handful of pupils. Dr. Ingham then took hold of it and under his strong and tactful administration he has brought the school again to prosperity. Its numbers have increased, the spirit has improved, and new endowment has been added to it. He has created a wholesome home atmosphere and commands the respect of all who come in contact with him. The school is about equally divided between day and boarding pupils, and about half the patronage is local. Milton Academy was established...
Side 33 - The Commissioners, of course, felt a deep interest in the experiment of selfgovernment which the blacks are trying in Hayti. They certainly wished it all success. They could not understand how any new and close relations between St Domingo and the United States could affect that experiment otherwise than favourably. They felt that it would be unjust to our Government to suppose that it contemplated any action injurious to it. They had too much faith in the virtue of our institutions to doubt that...
Side 2 - Domingo in regard to annexation, and communicate the information to the people of the United States. Under the attending circumstances I felt that if I turned a deaf ear to this appeal I might, in the future, be justly charged with a flagrant neglect of the public interests and an utter disregard of the welfare of a down-trodden race praying for the blessings of a free and strong government, and for protection in the enjoyment of the fruits of their own industry.
