TREATY BETWEEN THE U. S. AND HAWAIIAN
KINGDOM Our readers are aware that no treaty
yet exists between the United States and the
Sandwich Island government. Viewed IN rela-
ton simply TO the mere territorial extent and popu-
lation Of these islands, 1t might be considered of
but little Importance. But their geographical
situation renders them the resort Of some 400 of
our snIps, and 10000 of our seamen, and they
consume a half million Of our produce annu-
ally. Besides this, there is a numerous and in-
creaslpg American population settled among them,
which, joined with the labors of our missionaries,
has been the cause OF giving an American tone to the
inclplent colonization of the group. From interest
and gratitude, therefore, the relations; between
them and the people OF this country are peculiarly
intimate.
OF late it has become the policy of the American
missionaries TO sever themselves from the Home
Society, and with ITS appreciation and assistance,
establish themselves IN Hawaiian pastors, support
ed IN great measure by The people. Their children,
now numerous, already constitute an Important
and permanent portion OF the population. Every
year shows an increase IN the halt caste and To-
reign population, chiefly of American growth
Thus II may be set down as an established fact,
that the tendency OF the islanders, both In their
political institutions and character OF their civiliza-
lion, is decidedly American. The rapid settlement
ofCaoma, between which and the island there
is almos; daily intercourse has given addition
al impetus to the above condition OF affairs Haw-
aiians are constantly emlgratlng to California TO
participate in the growing fortunes OF that State.
Americans attracted by the balmy climate and ex-
uberant soil OF the Islands, are seeking to invest
The government Is monarchica in its form, but
liberal in its spirit TIE dynasty Is purely native,
while the advisers are foreigners, naturallzed.
Their policy for the natives is conservative, yet
the best friends of the natives have not much hope
for raising up purely Hawaiian race. Efforts
from time TO time have been made, and we are

agents for bringing the islands under foreign rule,
substituting instead revolutionary government;

interest of all that this should be left 10 the natur
al progress of events and that the present govern

selzing the islands by any foreign power will be OBJ

AmericanZing the islanders, gradually rlpens them
