THE STOLEN LETTERs-AgdtR.-lhe new
York Tribune defends its publication of the stolen
letters, and justifes itself by two precedens LIST,
the publication of The Glentworlh papers; and. I'd.
the publication of the letter OF Henry Clay to Cas-
sius M. Clay. sf trr.
Upon this defen ce find the Northern papers,
Wing and Democrat, fully expressing their views,
of which we annex. -..--..-. .-- g.
In the first place, says the News, the Tribune did
at the time, and does now, condemn ia terms OF the
strongest indignation the very acts which It cites as
i,isiilyng precedents. With what decency can it.
IN the same article, denounce these precedenis M
wicked and infamous, and yet claim that by the force
of their example ihey make similar act proper
and right! What are we TO think Of the reasoning
faculty or moral sense that commit such logi
chi or ethical absurdty!
In the second place, the precedenis which the Tri
bune cites do not the present case. In the
Glentworth case, the papers published were parts OF
the public records Of court Of justice, and nothing
else. Whether they became such legally, may be
very proper legal question, but it is one which
may be safely assumed to be properly settled by the
legal tribunals; the publication Of official proceed
ngs records containing the paper evidences Of
feloDies, IL very common thing, and altogether
different in its nature from The surreptt0us or elo
NOUS publication of the private papers OF an indiyd
ml Ia the case OF the Cassius NJ Clay letter, both
the Evening Post and the Morning News. to which
it was offered. refused 10 publish it on the express
ground, among others, Of the improperly Of such
publication; ADVISED its restoration, II genuine, To
its owners; printed censure OF the attempt before
The publication; and did not comment or copy until
Il had been two DAYS before the country, and its
publicity was confessedly complete; and this when
1t related exclusively to public issue then in the
very heat OF agitation, and contained nothing of
purely personal or private nature.

increasing, which call for ample and eff
eient Legislation. But the period has ar
rived when it cannot be effected in an
ephemeral way, like the patching of an old
garment. The first suit, suitably provided
for the tender years of its wearer, is now
thrcadbare and ill-adaptcd to cover the
frame OF manhood. A new and appropriate
dress must be assumed; the toga r~irilis, or
else the other members of the comfy of ma
tions will look with ridicule and astonish-
ment at the incongruous spectacle of the
adult still clinging to the garb of childhood,
while claiming the dignity of man.

to administer government, they Invested
themselves of those hidcous excressences
which for centuries had been increasing
upon them, until even human nature shud-
dered under the disgusting load. Like
Bunyan's pilgrim, at one throw they cast
off the mass, but it had been on too long
not to leave behind stains and scars. No
healthy cure is instantaneous and perfect;
and although the chiefs gave their people
a Constitution and a Code of Laws, there
are in them the imperfections usual to Incl
picnt legislation. 1t is these which Law
maturcd from the master ~jurists of Europe
and America, is intended to remove. 1t will
infuse into the veins of the body polite a
healthful flow of blood, which shall invigo-
rate the system in every part. The Con-
s%titution declares the designs and principles
of Government. BY it it will be seen that
the main object is the happiness of the sub
ject. TO ensure this happiness, he must be
guaranteed and protected in all his natural
and acquired rights. This is solcmnly de-
clared. Life, limb, liberty, freedom from
oppression, the earnings of his hands, and
the productions of his mind, entire %tolera-
ton of all Christian faiths, cqualiscd taxes,
Independent and incorrupt courts of judica-
ture, Il voice in legislation; these are some
of the provisions which this instrument has
secured to every Hawaiian. They embrace
the essentials for the welfare of the gov
crnors and governed. There is much that
is crude and not sufficiently defined and
dilatod, in the past legislation. 1t is an
imperfect code, and was prepared for a stage
of transition. Barbarism and civilization
had met, and in the rush Of the two, their mu-
tual strivings and cddyings, the waters had
become mixed and turbulent, but the clearer
stream had constantly gained, and the sedi-
ment of the other is fast disappearing
Whatever faults it possessed it has operated
well upon society, and will become the pa
rent Of more perfect legislation. 1t has
preserved the country from confusion and
even a~archy, and prepared the people for
a further and more complete development
of the principles of law. Rclormcrs too
often miss their aims by abrupt changes,
and, violating unnecessarily the prcludlces
or habits of a nation, produce a banetuI
reaction. But it has not thus happened in
the present case. The lcaven of civilization
has been so rapidly spreading in the nation
and it's ideas and wants conforming so lntl-
matcly to the standard of modern knowledge
and refinement, that Law has scarcely kept
pace with its progress. There are many
! and cogcnt claims upon it now, and daily

Commerce taught the Hawaiians to pre-
fer peaceful gains to predatory enterprises.
Christianity replaced a pandemonium of
loathsome divinities with the worship of the
Omniscient ! AM. The two harmonising
prepared them to receive Law, the passport
into that vast cxpanse occupied by the chill
dren of civilization. Few countries, if any,
can point in their political history to so
patriotic a course as that pursued by the
chiefs OF this archipelago, from the moment
they became imbued with the spirit of the
divine prccept, "love thy neighbor." A
glance showed them that their subjects were
their neighbors. They were then held in a
worse than Egyptian bondage. Unchecked
by law, or to any extent by what in other
countries has often an equal weight to pro-
tect the subject from the tyranny of the
ruler, a modifying public sentiment, despo-
tism rioted in every excess which the indi-
vidual c%aprices Of the seigniorial lords die
tated- Houses, lands, property, their very
bodies were merged into the most complete
predial servitudc, destructive of every feel
ing Of individual rights and manly indepen-
dence. But the people were not clamorous
for a change. They had never known a
different state, and what had been endured
could be endured on. Their chiefs Fed
them;-thcy worked for their chiefs. With
the increasing wants Of their chiefs, taxes
had become more oncrous, but personal
treatment was better. If there ever was
a condition to begct and pcrpctuatc in man
that ruled the lust of authority and the most
profound selfshness, it was that which eX-
listed here but a few years since. In pro-
portion as it nourished pride and incidence,
and their long train of kindred vices III the
one, it ~cXtinguished the sense of degrada-
tion, the desire of liberty, and the sentiment
of manhood, in the other. The relation
was that of master and slave, alike pcrni-
Gious to both. Reforms or revolutions usli-
ally take their rise from among the suffering
party; the one whose rights and privileges
are invaded or destroyed. But the reverse
was here manifested. Light broke in upon
the rulers. They were ashamed of them
selves, and of their subjects. 1t was appa-
rent that it was neither honorable, nor right,
nor expedient, for them to rule slaves.
They at once became rcformcrs and radi-
Gals, giving not s~tintedIy but largely; add
uniting their subjects to rights and liberties
that within the memory Of their farthest ira
dition had not been theirs. With such wis
dom as they could gather for these changes,
they overturned the whole system of yore.-
