some cases there are also distinct words
for an intermediate class of chiefs. So
scrupuously are these distinctions attend
ed to, that it is quite an insult to speak of
a chiefs head or hand, or face, &C., by
their common names, or to speak of his
actions in the terms Of the ordinary dia-
lect. 1t appears from Mr.. Marsden's
Grammar Introductory his History of
Sumatra, Rallies Java, and other authori-
ties, that the same distinctions of vulgar,
genteel, and courtly dialects prevail in the
Malay and adjacent nations. DR.. Lang,
in his ''Orign and Migration of the Poly
nesian Nations" gives it as his opinion,
that both the nations and languages of
China and Polynesia have sprung from
the same ancient and prolific source, and
quotes Dr. Leyden's opinion, that, beside
the Rukheng language, "Thcre are vari-
Gus others which indicate rank and situa-
ton, as in Malayu, Chinese, and the mon
osyllabic languages in general, which
have all of them paid peculiar attention
to the language of ceremony in address,
ing superiors, interiors and equals
1t may be interesting to prosecute the
enquiry, how far, through the media of
language and manners, the Malays and
Polynesians can be traced to Chinese
Tartary as the great officina gentium. In
the mean time the affinity of the Polync-
sian and Malay tribes cannot admit of
reasonable doubt. A much more extern
sive vocabulary of corresponding words,
than has yet appeared, might be easily
collected, especially from the dialects of
the Batta, Lampong and other tribes in
Sumatra and elsewhere, which have been
least altered by the adoption Of Hindu
and Arabic terms. In the meantime, if
the writer of this have succeeded in his
attempt to show that there is nothing in
the general structure of the languages in
question to detract from their supposed
affinity, his object will have been gained.

AN APPEAL

From the Executive Committee of the American Tenn
pcrance Union, to the King the French in behalf
ofthe Sandwich Islands
To HIS MAJESTY LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF
THE FRENCH
SIR:-The undersigned, constituting the
Executive Officers of the American Tenn
pcrance Union, an association representing
and expressing the views and feelings of
more than two millions of the free and
enlightened citizens of the United States,
beg the liberty of addressing your Majesty
on subject deeply interesting to themselves
and to portion of their felow-beings in
far distant region Of the globe.
1t is too well known to your Majesty for
the undersigned to enlarge upon it, that.
until checked by recent and extraordinary
moral reform, the ravages of intemperance
were in these States of most distressing
an alarming character: - DESTROYING the
health, industry, private peace and domestic
happiness of thousands weakening the power
of motives to do right, and strengthening
the power OF motives to do wrong causing
and annual waste to the nation of an hun
drcd millions of dollars, and forty thousand
lives, and threatening the very existence of
our civil and religious institutions. Over
other nations, less guarded by the restraints
OF civilization, they were more severe
The had nearly extcrmnated the native
savage of our forests, and were spreading
wide dcsolation over the feeble tribes of men
on the Northwest coast Of our continent,
and on the warm and beautiful islands ofthe
Southern Pacific
We wish to assure your Majesty tina, it
exceedingly cheered our hearts, TO find that

or o loo moe, sleeps, is sleeping, is more
general.
The past, in Malay, is denoted by telah
and corresponding words, signilying sis
DONE" The Samoa has ua, and sa,
prefxes for past time. Malay, diya telah,
Der layer, he has sailed. Samoa, ia ua
folau. The indefinite past time in Ma
lay is also denoted by the prefix de, which
answers to the Polynesian ua.
In both languages there is often a pas
sive form given to verb with an active
sense, like the latin factum est tie, for
tn feeisti. But many absolutely passive
forms in Samoa have an active sense.
In both the means of expressing simple
future are defective. In Samoa there is
the prefix for an immediate future; but
generally the future is expressed by
suitable qualifying adverb, following the
verb, the verb itself being in the same form
as the present tense. In Malay there are
used ''qualifying words of independent
meaning not always compatible"
DIFFERENCES IN THE VERBS OF THE
TWO DIALECTS.
In the Samoan dialect, there is class
of reciprocal verbs, the PARTICLES used in
whose formation appear in the following
examples: alofa, to have compassion, fe-
alofani, mutually to compassionate. "O,"
plural of alu, to go; fe-o-a'i, to inter-
change visits, or to 60 backward and for
ward; tautala to talk, fe-tautaIatala-'i,
mutually to talk, to converse. The only
remark observed in Mr.. Marsden's Gram
mar, on this subject, is this: "When
reciprosity of action is meant to be ex-
pressed, the verb is repeated in the two
forms, that is the simple verb without the
particle denoting the transitvc sense, and
then the verb with that particle, as tolong
menolong, to give mutual assistance.
This mention of the repetition of verbs
also brings to mind that while there is no
variation in the Malay verb to denote
number, in Samoa there is; first by doub-
ling some one or two of the syllables, as
savali to walk, plural savavali, or by
frightening a syllable as Gin the same
word) savali. A repetition of the action
is also denoted by different duplication,
as savalvali.
ADvERBs, PROPOSITIONS, &c.
AS these consist of little more than
lists of words, it is unnecessary to enter
infinitely into them. There is considera-
bic similarity not only in the position, but
in several of the words themselves.
The Malay has also an interrogative par
ticle kah: answering to the Samoa ca?
as, Malay, Rajah-kah? Is it the King.
Samoa (same question: O Ic Ali ca u?
DIALECTS.
1t appears that the differences in the
various dialects of the Malay are al
most as great as those found in the Poly
ncsan groups. Several of them are re-
markable for re ectng the examinations in
and ending the word with the preceding
vowel. This is worthy of further exam
nation.
COURTLY STYLE.
In the Samoan language there are two
distinct dialects. One, the common STYLE.
in which the chiefs speak of themselves,
and to others, and which the common
people use among themselves; the other,

verb. In Samoa, loo is certainly one
and when used as auxiliaries, the sa and
VA appears to serve as its past lenses, and
the for its future.
DISTINCTIONS AND RELATIONS OF THE
VERB.
Active and passive. In Malay the pas
sive voice is denoted by the inseparable
particle ter, prefixed. Here the two Ian
guages differ. In Samoa the prefix ua,
sometimes answers to the Malay, ter; but
the former has also various passive ter
limitations, as ina, ia, tia, STA, mia.
MooDs AND lenses.
A great part of Mr.. Marsden's remarks
on the moods and lenses of the Malay
apply, equally, to the Samoa. In both,
the imperative is expressed, sometimes
without any particle, and sometimes by a
prefXcd particle, and is also somtimes fol-
lowed by an intensive affix. Malay, du-
duk, sit down; with an afiix, (D pulang-
kan gadei, return the pledge; with the in
tensitve atfix lab, langun lah, awake! Sa-
moa nofo! sit down; with an affix, (a)
alu ia, go! with an intensive affix lava,
or contracted, la,) as tau mua la ia! just
go straight forward! In both languages,
when the pronoun of the second person
accompanies the imperative, it follows the
verb. In the Samoa, however, this may
be reversed by using a contraction of the
pronoun.
In the indicative mood there is this diff
ference. The Samoa has often (not al
ways) particle (te) following the NOM
NATIVE personal pronoun, which the Ma
lay has not Malay, amba jalan, walk.
The Samoa admits a'u savali, but more
frequently has GU tie savali; and so with
the other personal pronouns. This does
not, however, appear to be the case in
several other Polyncsian dialects. In Sa-
moa the nominativc persons generally
precede the verb, though not so other
nomnatives. In Malay the precedence
of the nominatve appears to be general
rule. And while in Malay there is no pre-
position before the accusatvc, in Samoa
there often is O and before proper names
ia.
The conditional moods, in both Ian
guages, are generally formed by distinct
words, answering to ''if," &c. But the
Samoa has one or two conditional parti-
clcs, as such a one is coming that he NAV
build the canoe, ma tie fausia lc vaa The
compound particle, ina ia, has similar
force.
The optative Except when denoted by
such distinct words as, wish, &C., is
in both dialects very similar to the imper-
alive; in Malay it has the particle de pre-
fixed, in Samoa ia, prefixed or affixed.
do not discover, in Malay, any parti-
Gle used with the nfnitvc, to distinguish
it from the indicative. Its position in the
sentence seems to be its only distinction.
In Samoa the prefix is e.
The lenses, in both languages, consist
ing of past, present, and future, are eX-
pressed by accompanying particles or adj
verbs. For present, the Malay has such
forms as lagi tidcr, sleeping, sleeping still,
the word agi meaning still on. SO the
Samoa might express it, ua moe pea, the
word pea meaning still; but the ia moe,
