of any man, in manner which is at va
rance with the above sentiments.
PROTECTION FOR TIE PEOPLE DECLARED.
The above sentiments are hereby pub
lshed for the purpose of protecting alike,
both the people and the chiefs of all these
islands, while they maintain correct de-
pertinent, that no chief may be able to
Cypress any subject, but that chiefs and
people may enjoy the same protection,
under one and the same law.
Protection is hereby secured to the per-
sons of all the people, together with their
lands, their building lots, and all their
property, while they conform to the laws
of the kingdom, and nothing whatever
shall be taken from any individual except
by express provision of the laws. What
ever chief shall act pcrseveringly in viola
ton of this constitution, shall no longer
remain a chief of the Hawaiian Islands,
and the same shall be true of the Cover
nors, officers, and all land agents.
But if any one who is deposed should
change his course, and regulate his con-
duct by law, it shall then be in the power
of the chiefs to reinstate him in the place
he occupied, previous to his being de-
posed.
CONSTITUTION.
1t is our dcsi ign to regulate our king
dom according to the above principles,
and thus seek the greatest prosperity both
of all the chiefs and all the people of
these Hawaiian Islands. But we are
aware that we cannot ourselves alone ac-
complish such an object-God must be
our aid, for it is His province alone to
give perfect protection and prosperity
Wherefore we first present our supplica-
ton to HIM, that he will guide us to
right measures, and sustain us in our
work.
1t is therefore our fixed decree,
|. That no law shall be enacted which
is at variance with the word of the Lord
Jehovah, or at variance with the general
spirit of His word. All laws of the Is
lands shall be in consistency with the gen
eral spirit of Gods law.
ii. All men of every religion shall be
protected in worshipping Jehovah, and
serving Him, according to their own un-
derstanding, but no man shall ever be
punished for neglect of God unless he in
jures his neighbor, or brings evil on the
kingdom.
iii. The law shall give redress to every
man who is injured by another without a
fault of his own, and shall protect all men
while they conduct properly, and shall
: punish all men who commit crime against
the kingdom, or against individuals, and
no unequal law shall be passed, for the
benefit of one to the in nury of another.
". No man shall be punished unless
his crime be first made manifest, neither
shall he be punished unless he be first
brought to trial in the presence of his ac-
cusers, and they have met face to face
} and the trial having been conducted ac'
cording to law, and the crime made man.
} ifest in their presence, then punishment
may be inflicted.
V. No man or chief shall be permitted
to sit as Judge or act on jury to try his
particular friend (or enemy, or one who
is especially connected with him. Where
fore if any man be condemned or acquit.

Conference.-The steamer Gen. Ciinch is in from Flo
rida She brings intelligence Of further murders by
the Indians We also have report that all the Indians
remaining at Tampa, with the exception of about 20
have left that post Among those who have gone out
are Wd Cat and several others Of note We hope this
may not prove true but have letter dated at Pi-
latka on the 10Th inst, which states il as fact.
The post rider from Tampa Bay to Patka has been
killed BY the Indians His horse and saddlebags have
been found. There were two bullet holes through the
saddle bags and ball was found lodged in package
of dispatches, addressed TO the Commissary General
There is also report that another express rider was
killed the 18th nst but we have no authentic nfor-
nation of the fact. This certainly does not look much
like the war coming to close. We shall probably
have further advccs to day tomorrow, in which case
will write you again.

DlsB,xpISG THE YoLuNrEERs.--We regret that we
hive 10 censure the first act Of General Harrison 5
administration of Florida affairs. The disbanding OF
the Volunteers, under Brigadier General Read, IS an
act of sheer folly-and only be accounted tor BY
of the country "Change!" "Changs!" awe must
have change!" This was the cry we had all through
the last summer and fall and they caryngit out
by dsbandng the Volunteers before there is any def
mite submission of the Indians change
This too has been done, we suspect, against The re-
monstrances of our Delegate, who must, II we are to
Judge from speech in Congress- have been convinced
of the folly of the thing and ought, therefore, to have
prevented if possible We believe he did all he could
to prevent it, but some sort of "eAangc was neces
sary; and not satisfied with the removal of officers
they must dsband the soldiers, and thus leave unpro
tecied an extent OF country some $50 miles in length
aBut the Indians may come in and make peace,
saws some devoted blind worshPper Of the Log Cabin :
They may do SO, d we believe that many Of them
were so disposed and would have done SO, had not
been for the dsbandng of the troops on this long line
of frontier What effect that may have on them, time
alone can tell Ifthey have been 50 harrassed by the
deprivaons brought them. that they have made up
their minds 10 come in, let what would occur, then all
will be we'll, but if there was any hcstancy or doubt
among Them this weak act of the administration VIII
terminate those doubts and the war will be renewed
We hope our anticipa,ions may not be realized;
