Mr. Butler (Mass) explaiued bis amendment ina short sprech. He said it propo-ed that whenever the inhabitants of any of the islands am the American seis rsked protection from our Government, it shall have it, All the islands of the Antilles are growing towards us, and it was our duty. he thought, to encourage them. There was a revolution now zoing on in Cuba, in which we could tike no part until the people of that i<land asked our protection The resolution proposed no interference, ex- cept where we were seked to interfere. He copedered that socaer or later these islanis would place ttemseves under our care, and it was the duty ot onr Government to look after them if we merely take an active part in the commerce of the world from the mouth of the Missi-sippi, it would be for us to have some footing mm the West Indies. He was against purchas- ing any of ids, or indeed any more territory. He believed t were ope die to come to us, and he ‘we would be ready and willing to receive them. Mr. Spaldipg (Ohio) proposed an amendment to the substitute, extending the protection to all the islands in the Pacificand Atlantic, lying nearer to the United States than to any other country.
