bias or projudico and omloavor lo
take n broad and compohensivo na
tional view of tho subject at issuo
We are tbo jury eolooted by tho
Amorican pooplo to try Mr Stoveus
on an indictment drawn against him
by tho Comtuitteo on Foreign Ro
tation of this Houso for misconduct
whilo a Minister of tho United States
acoroditod to a friondly foroign
power Wo are also to say by our
voto whether or not wo as tho rep
resentatives of tho people approvo
of tho polioy adoptod by Mr Olove
land to roliovo our Government of a
vory embarrassing complication
Upon these two propositions Mr
Speakor I apprehoud tho whole
quostion hinges First whether or
not Mr Stevens our Minister to
Honolulu aided or oucouraged tho
subjects of the Queon in organizing
a revolution against her established
government a friendly power to
which ho was accredited by the
United States
Second did the President violato
either Che express or implied power
vested in him by tho Constitution
in sending Mr Blount to Hawaii
with paramount powors without tho
advice or consont of tho Senate
Thoso I approhond aro the only
two questions at issue for I dont
supposo that it will bo seriously con
tended that wo havo any right to bo
dissatisfied with a form of govern
ment not our own or that we havo
a desire for territorial extension un
less by purchase or by the consent
of the owners of the territory to bo
ceded
I shall now Mr Spoakor address
myself to the first proposition This
involves the question of the estab
lished foreign policy of tho
United States with othor nations
Mr Jefferson announced our policy
in tho early part of this century and
at tho very threshold of our national
existence to be peace commerce
honesty and friendship with all na
tions entangling alliances with
none and we havo always subscrib
ed to the following distinctively
American doctrine that Govern
ments are instituted among mon de
riving their just powers from tho
consont of the governed
Mr Stevens also had specific writ
leu instructions from his Govern
ment directing his conduct in all
matters pertaining to the official re
lations not only with tho Hawaiian
Government but with the pooplo
of that country
I will read that part of tho instruo
tions from the Stato Department
pertinent to the question at is3uo
It is forbiddou to diplomatiu
agents abroad to participate iu any
manner in tho political questions in
the country where they reside They
aro directed especially to refrain
from expressions of opinion upon
local or political questions arising
within their jurisdiction
In 1829 in a note from Mr Van
Buron to Mr Moore who was then
our consular agent to Hawaii ho
said
Your business is solely with the
actual government of the country
whore you are to reside and you
should studiously endeavor by a
frank and courteous deportment to
conciliate its estoem and secure its
confidence
Mr Buchanan wrote in 1818
The plain duty of tho diplomatic
agonts of tho United States is
scrupulously to abstain from inter
fering in tho domestic politics of tho
countries whero thoy reside
Mr Seward in writing to Mr
Culver in 1862 said
The duty of diplomatic represent
atives of the United States in foreign
countries iu times of insurrection is
scrupulously to avoid interference
in tho struggle and lo rofuso to ac
knowledge iusurgont authorities un
til permanently established
Secretary Marcy in 1855 wrote a
note to Mr Wheolan and used this
langtiago
Tho duty of diplomatic represent
atives of tho Unitod States in foreign
countries in times of insurrection is
scrupulously to avoid iutorferonco
in their struggle and to rofuso to
acknowledge insurgent authorities
until permaueutly establijbed
SSiw RW5ass opfenttf
On tho day of July 1851 Mr
Webster who was then Secrotary of
State addrs3sed a note to Mr
Severance our Minister at Hawaii
in which ho said
Tho Govoruuiont of tho Unitod
Slates was tho first to acknowledge
tho national existence of tho Hawai
ian Govorumont and lo treat with
it as an independent Stato Its ox
amplo was soon followed by soveral
of tho governments of Europe and
tho Unitod States true to its treaty
obligations has in no enso interfered
with tho Hawaiiau Govornmont for
tho purposo of opposing tho courso
of its own independent conduct or
of dictating to it any particular lino
of polioy In acknowledging tho
independence of tho islands and
of tho Government established over
them it was not Booking to promote
nny peculiar object of its own What
it did and all that it did was done
openly in tho face of day in entiro
good faith and known to all nations
It doclarod its real purpose to bo lo
fa7or tho establishment of a govern
ment at a vory important point iu
tho Pacific Ocean which should bo
ablo to til ai n tain Buch relation with
the rest of tho world as aro main
tained botween civilized states
From this purposo it has never
sworved for a singlo moment nor is
it inclined without tho pressure of
some necessity to depart from it
now whon i vents have occurred
giving to the islands and to their
intercourse vilh the United Stales
a now aspect and increased import
ance
This Government slill desires lo
see the nationality of the Hawaiian
Government maiutained its idepend
ent administration of public affairs
respected and its prosperity aud
population increased
On March 23 1813 Mr Webiter
wrote to Mr Everett our British
Minister
Sir Tho course adopted by this
Government in regard to tho Sand
wich Islands has for its solo object
tho preservation of the independ
ence of thoso islands aud the main
tonanoe by their government of an
entire impartiality in thoir inter
course with foreign states Tho
United Statos dotiro to exorcise no
undue influence or control over tho
government of the islands nor lo
obtain from itanygraut of oxclusive
privilege whatever This was
solemuly declared in the Presidents
message to Congress aud it is de
clared also iu the instructions given
to Mr Brown of which you will ro
ceive herewith a copy
The President would oxcoedingly
regret that suspicion of a sinister
purposo of auy kind on the part of
tho United States should provont
England and Franco from adoptiug
tho same pacific just and conserva
tive courso toward the govornmont
and people of this remote but in
teresting group of islands
I am sir etc
