No l.-VoYAGE TO MAzATLAN


March, 81, lS1O,-Embarked on board
the Barque Don Quixotc, from Honolulu,
bound to Mazatlan, via Maui and Calfor-
MIA. Our little band consisted of but four
and we were about to brave the DANCE S
(of which we had been told there were
not a few Of journey across Mexico,
undismaycd by dismal stories of Ladroncs
which we heard here, and which. had we
given credence to them, would have de-
tered us from venturing with so small a
force into the enemy's country. We had

trcss, lot satisfied with that answer, asked
her if she had not some vegetables in her
garden. That same evening the child
went and gathered four or five cabbages
all that were in her parents garden, and
carried them to the school mistress"
The second reads thus "Thcv (he
missionaries) also established kind Of
public confession, but wholly for their own
advantage. Each of the natives was to
come into their assemblies, and tell some
Of his faults before all the world. He was
then to give some money, vegetables,
poultry, or something else, and SO receive
absolution."
The first extract doubtless alludcs to
Mrs Smith. Whilst Mr. Smiths church
was in process of erection it was reported
that he was taxing the poor of his congrc-
CATION and the scholars of his schools to
an unmerciful extent. The first Nj and
Mrs S. heard of the report, "A lady called
upon Mrs S. informing her of it and in
curing if it was true. She was informed
that it had no foundation in truth. We
can form no con lecture as to the origin Of
the latter concerning confession, absou-
ton, its price, &c. Reports, we have
have reason to believe have often circula-
ted, charging missionaries with the most
base and sordid motives in all their acts.
DR.. Meyen in his voyage around the world
speaks of the large sums Of money which
they are reported to have RENTED TO the
United States.
The missionaries have encouraged the
people to do what they could in various
ways towards erecting their churches and
school houses and sustaining their teach
ers' They have done most Of the former
by their own manual labor; towards the
letter they have done very little that was
available So far from the missionaries,
or the Society which they represent hav-
ing reaped a harvest Of gain from this field,
funds have been drawn from the Ameri-
can Board Of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, the Bible and Tract Societies of
the United States, to the amount of near
y five hundred thousand dollars, and ex-
pended in sustaining the missionaries, and
carrying forward their operations, such as
printing and distributing the bible and
other works, and prosecuting various plans
for the benefit of the islanders. We will
leave this part Of the subjec, with the sim
gle remark that from what has been said
it will be seen that if pecunary gain was
the object OF the mission it has signally
failed in its accomplishment.

circumstances Of the government we shall
be the better prepared to look at and Judge
mpar,ially Of its acts and the degree of its
culpabiIity. Feeling DESTROYS to ascertain
as far as possible what degree of cred
it was due TO the history of the persecu-
ton published in France, we requested as
many of those who were prominently ell
gaged in the administration of the laws a,
the time of the alleged persecution as
could conveniently, to meet us at some
given time, that with the history before
US we might be better able to assure our
selves as TO its accuracy.
Accordingly, at an appointed time, in
company with Messrs Chamberlain and
armstrong, we called upon Kekuanaoa,
John Ii, Pahana, Kuluwahinenui, Kaniua.
Kapala, and Kealoha. who answered our
Inquiries with great (rankness and appa-
rant sincerity. We can only give the
substance Of their answers except one or
two of which we shall give a translation,
as they were received in writing. TO the
inquiry why they punished the Catholics,
the answer was, &" for idolatry." Why
did YOU punish for dolatry? Answer IN
writing, translated. Why surprising
perhaps you have heard that in the reign
Of LihoIiho both chiefs and common peo-
people were disturbed by this thing. Be-
cause Lihoiho overthrow the. idol gods
! land their temples all over the kingdom.
but certain chief, Kekuaokulani was his
hame. and his chefs and followers under
him were resolved to cleave to these things
and make difficulty. Liholiho and his
chiefs held council, and it was resolved
that he should return and work comtorta-
blv. A man having been already killed
hl Waipio on Hawaii by these idol wor-
Shippers, on this account Lihol'ho sent
two men from his presence to Waipio to
settle the difficulty. They did not reach
that place, being suddenly killed at Ma
hki by the worshippers Of idols, and their
bones were carried to keAuaokaIani at
Ko IA. Now the chiefs made war on these
worshippers Of idols, and blood was split
in this work. The evil of idol worship
was plain. 1t was thing very bad, and
on this account a law against idol worship
Iwas enacted on account Of this disturb
ance Of the Kingdom. If any one was
iound worshipping idols he was punished
bound hands and feet.
This law and punishment for idolatry
Twas previous to the arrival OF the Word
