We might ark for the former, nay, insist upon it, and yet be a long way from annexation, An- nexation involves the exercise of popular rights, the right of the people to choose their own government; and it could only be ac: compl shed by the violation of our own most highly cherished theory of government, without the assent of the people themeclves who are to Le annexed, Asa government based on republican principles, we-cannot agree to a barter and sale of provinces and people without reference to their own opinions and desires.
