lhose OF their countrymen who oppose them
from mere selfish motives, should look well
to this fact, and Judge for themselves what
would be the result if their wishes were ac-
complshed, and missions destroyed Their
individual wishes might have more license of
expression, but their country would suffer,
and another secure the benefits which they
had recklessly cast away. We have not time
now to enter into the details to prove this
point, but will close with The following ex-
tract from the " New World, )" to show that
we are not singular in this opinion:
Gas to Missionary enterprises, they
are undertaken at the risk of the adven-
turers, and should stand or fall by their
own merits but in this instance (Sand-
wich lslands) they have promoted the in
terests OF American commerce and are en-
couraged by those not interested in Reli-
glon, from motives Of policy. We infer
this from the liberal subscriptions of the
corporation of London, the Government
of Ceylon and other public bodies, and
the appointment of missionaries to the
office of Consul. Perhaps all these con-
slderations may induce our Government
TO give some attention to our interests in
the Sandwich Islands,"
