ket: on the 18th, the factories were surrOun-
ded by a mob, and gentlemen were kept IN
doors armed TO defend their houses, but the
mob did not make an attack directly on the
factories, the high freshcs having kept them
some time at a little distance. On the 18th,
Capt. Tilton, ofthe u. $. 5. st. Louis, reach
ed the factories with l6 marines and 90 sea-
men, which, with the crews of the merchant
ships, were all armed, and served to preserve
comparative quiet, although had not the fresh
cs in the river continued and riscnvery high, it
was thought an attack upon the factories
would have been made, as after the death
of one of their number the %populacc became
very furious. On the the 18th the mandarins
came out With soldiers in great force, and
have kept the space in front of the American
factories clear of the mob: but it is consid-
cred necessary to keep the Is marines of the
st. Louis at the factories, and that vessel ut
Whampoa. The authorities have Quoted the
populacc by promising to get the foreigner
who killed the Chinese; and the matter has
been referred to the Imperial COMMISSIONS
at Macao who has addressed II. f.. the
American Minister on the subject. This
may be regarded a fortunate circumstance
Just at this luncturc i'm view of the necessity
of a clear understanding upon the important
principle involved; and we now trust that
efforts will be made by the British and Amer
lean plenipotentiaries to insure the safety of
life and property.
"Another event of interest is the %conclu-
sion of a treaty of friendship and
between the American Minister and the I'M
perial Commissioner; which, we are led to
believe will fully satisfy the Just expectations
of the people of the United States. There
are some provisions favorable to the Amcri-
can trade as regards the re-shipment ofgoods
from one port to another in china without
mourning, either on tho export or import a
new or second duty, and the coasting trade
is thrown open to American vessels by a'pro-
vision that no tonnage duty should be char
ged after the first port of entry on any voy-
age from port to port or ports in China; and
the duty on Lead has been reduced. We
hope to be able to convey some further par
ticulars at an early day as regards the com
mercial arrangements"

OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF IHE XiUAIIAN
GOVERNMENT.
HONOLULU, SATURDAY, DEC. ii, 1874.

A wisely conducted opposition is as cs-
sential to the well-being of a government,
as a balance is necessary. to the movements
Of a clock. Nature seeks an equipoise, and
no political system is so perfect as that in
which there is judiciously inserted a well de-
fined and accurate system of checks and bal
ances. Though at first glance they would
appear to operate disadvantageously upon
each other, yet when the whole machinery
is set in motion, they will be found to work
with the harmony and unity of action of an
admirable piece Of mechanism. A govern
ment may also be further likened to machin-
cry, inasmuch that it may be complete in
all its parts and yet be made to operate with
more ease and effect by the application of
e~xtrinsic power or substances. Oil will re-
lieve the joints of machinery or friction give
it polish. An opposition, by compelling the
more minute examination of measures, and
discussing them in all their relative bearings
and positions, is a check to premature legis-
lation. The arguments advanced devclopc
truth, and by it, the ministry, if m honest
one, must infallibly be the gamer. Hence
we often see, that when a ministry has been
ousted by a combination Of circumstance
which were perhaps beyond their control,
their successful advcrsaries to retain their
newly obtained station, arc obliged to carry
forward the very measures of their prcdcccs-
sors. This also further illustrates the trite
truth, that the higher we rise the more cx-
tcnsive becomes the prospect. While some
far beneath are laboring intcntly and hon
estly to accomplish what within the limits of
their horizon seems indispensable for the
welfare Of society or the safety of the state,
those on a superior cminence are enabled to
survey the entire landscape at a glance, and
to take in not only what is necessary for the
whole, but is best adapted for the parts.
The gardener by overlooking from a height
oil his grounds at one view, is enabled to ar
range them with proper effect; to harmonic
the plain and dell; mountain and hill; lake or
stream; forest or meadow: to bring all by his
art to form one complete and picturesque
whole; the useful turned to their proper ends
and the beautiful rendered yet more pleasing.
SO with the sagacious statesman he be-
INT aware of the wants, capacities, lar
ring interests and patriotic designs of a
whole people, and he gives them aid, direc-
'on' reconciliation and development. But
although he is so advantageously placed for
Inc acqu'rment Of general principles and en-
iarged views, it behovcs him likewise to cx-
a'"'he IN detalI the more remote or obscurcd
points. His very elevation might operate as

knowledge were it not for the keen scrutiny,
the critical acumen and the @untiring assaults
an active opposition. Where he sees not,
they see for ~him-where he hears not, they
hear for him. BY the unrestrained canvass
ing of public measures he adds their knowl-
edge to his own, and varies his policy &C
cordingly. if both parties are governed by
a sincere love of country, their ambition for
office and distinction, is not only laudablc,
but highly and reciprocally useful. Their
contention becomes not one of persons, but of
and of policy. The most critical
research, the most profound lore, the most
moving cloqucnce, and the most valued ex-
pcricnce, are united on either side with high
toned sclf-respect and mutual regard which
renders the strife one of generous and
noble rivalry for national and universal well
fare. BY the free exchange of opinions in
the polemic attack and defence, the under
standing of each party becomes doubled.
Consequently in a strife thus conducted, in
which human wisdom eXerts itselfto its ut
most powers, the nation inevitably gains
AS 1t descends however from master intellects
to inferior minds and subordinate agents,
less of reason and more of feeling, preju-
dice or passion become apparent. 1t comes
at last to those who know nothing of politics
but the turmoil and brawl, they themselves
create. Noise is mistaken for eloquence,
and defamation for argument. But such
characters no more affect the genuine cx-
Founders of law and the hclmsmen of states,
than a muddy, noisy %rivulet, the father OF
waters. Indeed they may with some propri-
ETY. be considered a political brcakwatcr, on
the other side of which the ship of state rides
securely. For it is far better that factions,
discomfort or the restless intrigucs of dcma-
gogues should be expended in vapid cries
than be pent up until they swell to a volume
sufficient to sweep away the landmarks OF
order and the barriers of crime.
Oflegislative bodies of the present age,
the American Congress and English Parlia-
ment afford the most prominent instances of
that free, intellectual and digniied rivalry,
accompanied with dispassionatc wisdom and
mature deliberation, to which we have allu-
dcd. We would also include with them,
the French Chambers, excepting, however,
to that restless war-spirit, and love of mill
tary glory which the memory of the tri-
umphs of Napoleon still perpetuatcs amid that
gallant and chivalrous nation, and that ical-
ousy of moral and physical influence of other
nations, which originated, and on inst
grounds in their first and ill-omcncd rcvolu-
ton. These points of national scnsitiveness
are on the wanc, if a correct Judgment can
be based upon the measure of support given
GuiZot. Tho cause ofpeacc acquires %increas-
ing strength by its continuance; for the war;
like propcnsitics of mankind lose their force
by inactivity, and the arguments in its favor
become more cogcnt by the developing of
its benefits.
