eipate seasonably any such action OF over
ture from European powers. that inns
group should fall into other hands than Of the
American people would not only be a ca
lamity to the great whaling interests Of our
eastern communities engaged in the trade,
but would be eminently prejudicial to the
interests OF the rapidly growing communi-
ties of the western coast.
The fact that the American Government
has always been very friendly in its diplo-
matte relations, and supported the dignity
and supremacy of the Hawaiian legislation,
contrasts strongly with the violence and
summary dealings Of both British and French
commanders, like Belcher in the Sulphur
and La Place in L'Artemise, and would
have a tendency to bespeak friendly hear
ing upon a question so important to the
Hawaiian sovereignty, and the absolute
prospective perpetuation OF the nation on an
enlightened and conservative basis.
But further, more important and cardl-
nal plea in favor Of reception OF such over
ture by the Hawaiian government Is to be
found in the fact that il is indebted to the
efforts OF The American Christians, by the
establishment of vigorous and valuable mis-
sions and educational institutions for but little
less than all Of civilization, intelligence and
art that il now enjoys. While Capt. Cook
suffered himself TO receive the homage they
paid TO LoNo, Vancouver alone Of all the
numerous navigaiors who touched at the
islands, until the landing of the THADDErs,
on March 3Oth, 1920, with the first depu-
tation, spoke to Kamehameha, Of the nature
and service of the true God. Liholiho,
Kamehameha II, died in London few days
after his Queen, Of measles, and OF course
was deprived Of The privilege Of introducing
any Of the advantages Of civilization among
his people-Boki, governor of Oahu, one Of
his train, had neither the moral nor intellec
tual character to perform this duty to his
Sovereign II was left for the American
missionary, aided by the influence Of the
Press, Of temperance, oil education, and the
example of Americans who subsequently
settled at the islands, to lay the foundation
and build the structure of the present Haw-
ain system, and formed that order Of things
which has resulted in the organization of a
government regulated by a written Constr
tuition and Code Of laws which have their
foundation principles in the law Of God as
revealed in the Bible The Indebtedness Of
the Hawaiians, therefore, to the Americans
for 50 much OF their social, moral, and poll
teal privileges, is a grand and weighty con-
sideration in favor Of our proposition.
Without going further into an investiga-
ton Of the various arguments which may be
urged, or dwelling too long upon the scheme
proposed, we leave il for the present with
our readers.
We propose that Commission be APP
pointed to open correspondence with the
Hawaiian government in relation TO their
admission into the North American Union
as an independent State. -LowriHe ~. "

NIissIssippi Elections.

Tho gallant General A. B. Bradford Is warmly
urged in the LIST Congressional District Of Mlssis-
aippi, as a Wing candidate for Congress. The Holly
Syringe f;dsetfe has up his name for the post,
and we viii guaranty vigorous canvass for him.
In the Sd Congressional District the Watcher
Courier says thai Henry Gray, Of Attaa county,
has been iavoraby spoken OF by several Taylor
presses as suitable candidate for Congress from that
district, Hon. p. W. Tompkns having positively
ref, sed 10 serve again; and that Mr. Gray Is a man
of fine attainmenis, forcible debaer, and would
make an able and efficient representative in Con-
gress.
Gen. Patrick Henry an eloquent descendant Of
the great Revolutionary Orator, Is generally pointed
out by the public sentiment Of the State as the Wing
candidate for Governor. He will give good account
of himself in brilliant and substantial results!H en,-

The Legislature win have TO alter the law relative
to keeping open the polls or the elective franchise
will become mere nullity. The closing or continu-
ing them open, should not be left TO any man or set
Of men, The law should be imperative on the subject.
II should State some specific time at which they
should be closed independent Of all circumstances.
Then IL would be equally fair for oil the parties con-
cerncd and no one could possibly lake advantage Of
the remissness OF the other Let law be passed to
keep them open, under all circumstances, two days
or three without any reference whatever TO the wea
Their and that would give oil parties equal chance.
Or let them be kept open for only day, as Ia the
case now In the Presidential election. Richmond

BY The brig John Bull, Capt, Debson, which arriv-

ceiyed files of the Jamaica Despatch, and The Norm

There had been disgracefnl iumult md riot at
Old Hnrbor Market on the 2lst Of March, caused by
tho mountain negroes of ST. Dorothy and st. John
refusing to pay their market dues in which from
three 10 fonr bundled negroes were engaged In a
skirmish with the magistrates and police. Some
blood was split but lives lost, before Il was
qurllcd; though II was supposed one of the no.
lice, named Comeron, a.sereean, would die In con-
sequence Of wound on the temple. II was proba-
bic ihh, the scene would be enacted agnn the next

We learn from the Little Rock tArks.) State Demo

lies Of his Office as Governor Of Arkansas, on Thurs
day, the 10Th inst, at noon.
The oath was administered by Chief Justice John
SON. The official majority for Roane was 1853 votes.
The returns from Ashley county, which failed TO ar

jory more than 200 votes.
The whole number Of votes cast was only bcoo.
A Democratic Governor Of Arkansas ele tied by a
