A good and convenient port and harlior, capable of easy defence, will sup]dy that want. With the iiossession of such a station by the Pnited States, neither we I'or any other American nation need Linger appiehend injury or otilense from any trans- atlantic enemy. I agree with our early st;itesmeu that the West Indies naturally gravitate to, and may be expected ultimately to be absorbed by, the Continental States, including our own. I agree with them also that it is wise to leave the (|ues- tion... of such absorption to this process of natural political gravitation. The islands of St. Thomas and St. Johns, which constitute n part of the grou]) called the Virgin Islands, seemed to offer us advantages immediately desirable, while their ac(|uisition could be secured in harmony with the principles to which I have alluded.
At this time tlie relations of President Johnson to tlie Senate were anything but harmonious, and mainly from this cause, I think, the treaty was rejected in 186S, although the inhabitants of both islands had already voted in favor of annexation.
