THE GRoGAN AFFAIR.-We find in the
Montpelier Watchman the correspondence
between Governor Jenison, of Vermont,
and Sir Richard Jackson, acting Governor
of Canada, on the subject of the arrest OF
James w. Grogan, Governor Jenison
wrote on the 29th Of September, briefly
describing the outrage. and requesting lm-
mediate investigation and the release Of
Grogan. Sir Richard Jackson wrote in
reply en- the 9th of October, at Kingston,
that Immediately on receiving intelligence
of the transaction, and before receiving
the letter OF Governor Jenison, he had di-
rected the matter to be investigated, with
orders for the immediate release of Gro
gan if it should appear that he had been
seized within the United States. On the
same day Sir Richard wrote again, and his
second letter we give entire:

Sr-Since addressed to your Excel .
lency my despatch of this morning, have
received from the law officer of the crown
at Montreal a repor', from which it ap-
pears that the evidence which they had
obtained on the subject proved that Gro

In conformity, therefore, with their in

Grogan at liberty, and conveying him to
the frontier in the eighborhood of which
he was arrested. lam informed that Gro
gan left Montreal accordingly on the 4th
inst.
beg to assure your Excellency that |
shall nevertheless continue the investiga-

leve from all the light we can obtain that
the design was to fix themselves at the
Islands, or failing in its accomplishment
to complain TO the French government of
the violation of the treaty. We do not
see that there was any infrac,ion of the
treaty in the rejection of Mr. Maigret as a
Roman Catholic priest. The Hawaiian
government did no more than any Euro
pean power would have done under SINH
lar circumstances. The treaty was SIM

Mn EDIToR-The history closes by a
brief notice of what was done by the frig-
ate Artemise for the cause of religion and
toleraton at the Sandwich Islands. We
here rel eat most distinctly that mandate
of His Majesty forbidding the innction of
all pains and penalties for religious obser-
yances or as they esteemed them often
ces, was issued twenty-five days previous
to the arrival Of the Artemse.* 1t is now
two years since the proceedings of Capt
Laplace were published. We expected
that account would meet the disapproba-
ton of a portion of this community, and
the pamphlet published soon after in re-
ply showed that we were not mistaken !;
bu, we are gratfied that so large portion
of the public press of Great Britain and
the United States concur with US in our
expressed opinion as to the illegal and un-
justifable conduct of Capt. l.. Two also
of the first jurists in the United States,
viz. the Hon. Chancellor Walworth of n.
York, and the Hon. Rufus Choa,e, U. S.
Senator from Mass. have publicly express
ed the same opinion.
The following paraoraph also from the
report of French National Protestant
Society of which Admiral Count VerIIuel
is President is to the same purpose: eve
all feel that our government has brutally
violated the law of nations in this case,
(Capt. l.. at the Sandwich Islands.) The
Popish missionaries who claimed he priv
ilese of preaching their doctrines in the
South Sea Islands and called to their aid
cannons and bayonets have done a bad
service to their cause. They will sooner
or later repent having employed such
The Polynesian., 1841-11-06

We cannot but admire the spirit and prin-
ciples embodied in the address Of the new
minister Guizot. 1t breathes the spirit of
peace calculated to soften and heal. 1t
speaks of conqucsts but they are conques,s
of minds not bodies, of hearts and not ter.
ritOries, of the maintenance Of "PEAcE
EVERY WHERE AND ALWAYS" Had such
principles predominated in the councils of
France few years since, the Hawaiian
government would have found no cause
of complaint.
In passing over this history we have left
the minor points untouched, but there are
some which it may be well to notice.
Mr. Short says '' AS we did not speak the
language of the country except with diff
ticulty an interpreter was given Us who
translated our answers very exactly
More than once it might he perceived
that they made an impression upon our
Judges. But the partisans Of the Metho-
dis,s were not slow to substitute for him
an Interpreter less firm and less faithful.
The first died very suddenly short time
after" We cannot perceive how persons
requiring an interpreter on account of
their ignorance of language can be COM
petent Judges of the accuracy of his trans
la,ons. 1t would seem that if so well
qualified to Judge in the case they would
have needed no interpreter. We do not
see what connection the sudden death of
the first Interpreter has with the history
unless the inslnuation be intended that he
came to his death by foul means. Lest
the statement that the females were re-
quired to make mats of the "thornv Lau-
hala " should convey the idea that the
punishment was of unusual severity we
will remark that it is the frequent and rol-
untary labor of large numbers of Hawai-
ians in all parts of the islands, and we
have never heard that it was more un-
pleasant or painful than other labor. In
some places they tliatch their dwellings
with it.
The Hawaiian government pleads not
gully to the charge of religious persecution.
1t pleads political necessity to Justify its
inilictions. But what if the charge were
true, when the Catholic priests arrived.
Ten years had hardly elapsed since the
whole mass of the population was in near
| ly as rude a state as were the Britons
when julius Caesar 50 years before the
Christian Era first set foot upon their
shoes. Their system too was a perfect
civil and religious despotism. Is it then
surprising that they did not at once grasp
with their minds and We're not governed
in their practise by the ennobing princi-
pies of civil and religious liberty.
Degraded as were Hawaiians in mind
and body, we believe that the pages Of
ancient and modern history will be search
ed in vain to find a case parallel to theirs
in the rapidity with which they have pro-
grcssed from savage towards civilized
state. In their noble efforts to raise them
selves they needed encouragement, the
kind and fostering aid of the more favor
ed, instead of obstacles thrown in their
way, such as the opening of the food
gates of ntemperance upon them, inform
ed and imbecile as were their characters,
and unable to resist temptation or contend
with its destroying influences. They
needed sympathy instead of denunciaton
aud war. Yours, s. N. c.
