FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

We have files of Honolulu papers to
the Gath of April. The session of the
Hawaiin Parliament was opened on the
18th. The opening speech Of the King
sets forth that the foreign relations of the
island are Of a friendly character, except
so far as regards France, from the govern
ment Of which no response had been re-
ceived as yet to the proposition made on
the part Of Hawaii. The King remarked:
"The peace of my kingdom has been
threatened with an invasion Of private adj
venturers from California. An appeal was
made to the United States Commissioner.
which being promptly acted on by Cap.
tain Gardner, Of the United States ship
Vandalia, tranquilized the public mind"
In the House Of Mobiles, the committee
Of three appointed by the last Parliament
had reported a new constitution. 1t had
been amended at the suggestion of Mr..
Willy, Minister. who favors a constitution
assimilating with that of Great Britain.
In the House Of Representatives a res
olution had been adopted expressing the
disapprobation Of the House upon the re.
ports in circulation abroad. to the effect
that the people of that kingdom were de-
sirous OF coming under the American gov
ernment, and calling for an inquiry as TO
the source from which such reports had
emanated.
A severe shock Of an earthquake was
experienced at Hilo, on the night of the
18th of April, and on the 18th. a new erup-
ton of the volcano commenced about
three miles to the northwest of the one in
February.

groans from the black hole IF Calcutta.
1t was written in tears upon "the Bridge
Of Signs" in Venice; and pointed to those
dark recesses, upon whose gloomy por-
tails there was never seen a returning foot
print.
II was the plea Of the austere, and am
bilious Stafford in the days Of Charles the
First. 1t filed the Bastile Of France, and
lent its sanction 10 the terrible atrocities
perpetrated there. 1t was this plea that
snatched the mild, eloquent, and patriotic
Camilla Desmoulins from his young and
beautiful wife, and hurried him upon the
hurdle to the guillotine, with thousands of
others equally n%noffending and innocent.
1t was upon this plea that the greatest Of
generals, il not Of men-you n mis-
take mel mean him, the presence of
whose very ashes within the last few months
vas sufficient to stir the hearts Of a con.
tinent-it was upon this plea that he alb.
jured that noble wife who threw around
his humble days light and gladness. and
by her own lofty energies and high intel
lect, encouraged his aspirations. 1t was
upon this plea that he committed that worst
and most fatal act Of his eventful life.
Upon this too he drew around his person
the imperial purple. 1t has in all times,
and in every age, been the foe OF liberty,
and the indispensable stay of usurpation.
Where were the chains of ~despotism
ever thrown around the freedom of speech
and Of the press, but on this plea Of estate
necessity?' Let the spirit OF Charles the
Tenth and of his ministers answer.
1t is cold, selfish, heartless; and has al.
ways been regardless of age. sex, condi.
ton. services, or any of the incidents of
that appeal to patriotism or humanity.
Wherever its authority has been ac-
kno yledged. it has assaulted men who stood
by their country when she needed strong
and bold hearts; and has assailed
them when, manned and disabled in her
service. they could no longer brandish a
weapon in her defence.
1t has afflicted the feeble and dependent
wife for the imaginary faults of the -hus.
band.
1t has stricken down innocence in its
youth in its freshness, manhood in
its vigor, and old age in its ieebleness and
decriptitude. Whatever other plea or
apology may be set up for the sweeping,
ruthless exercise of this civil guillotine at
The present d%ay-in the name of LIBERTY,
let us be spared this fearful one Of State
necessity in this early age Of the Repub-
ic, upon the floor Of the American Senate,
the face of a people yet free"

ELECTORAL VOTE OF ,4s AND ,5e,

WE VT 40 AND 'oZs
A statement IN the Baltimore Sun shows
some facts of moment:
Taylor received 1863 ELECTORAL votes
81 from free States, and &c from slave
States.
In the coming election there will be 296
ELECTORAL votes-l49 being necessary to a
choice.
The fifteen States which in 1848 gave
their votes to Taylor, will this year be en-
titled to 16l votes. Two less than be-.
fore.
Ofthese 81 will be free, and 81 from
slave States.
The 81 given last election, if now all
whig. will be insuficientto effectth the choice
by Sc votes, so that that number must be
obtained either from the south. or from five
free States, which at last election voted the
democratic ticket.
Ohio and Indiana voted last election the
democratic ticket. The Scott movement
cannot succeed without these States, and
Is more votes besides.
The wings then cannot carry the cleo.
ton Of Scott without the latter named
States, and one or two other small doubt
iul ones. The south, the Scott men tell us,
purpose TO get along without. That throws
the main turning point Of the contest upon
Ohio and lndiana-with a margin of un-
certain States in the north for the remain
ing Is votes.
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania will be
the main battle ground. These three
States will encounter the shock Of the fight
by the concentrated power of the two
parties.

From the Hartford Times of March 10, 1881
THE HON, FRANKLIN PIERCE.

THE HON. FRANKLIN PIERCE.
This eloquent and youthful Senator, al
the early age of thirty-seven, has resigned
all public employment and retired to pri.
vate life. We cannot but indulge the
hope that his retirement will be brief, and
that the people Of his native State will at
no distant day return him to a post that he
so eminently adorned. All parties speak
highly of this patriot champion Of the
Democratic cause, who while he never
yielded a principle, was always courteous
to his opponents. As a specimen OF his
style, we republish the following extracts,
which are the closing remarks Of a pow
erful and eloquent speech on the subject
Of removals from office. delivered by him
in July at the extra session, and ask for
them a candid perusal.-Statesman.
But that removals have occurred is not
the thing Of which complain. complain

press and your leading orators made prom.
Uses to the nation Which they did not intend.
to redeem, and which they now vainly at

ator from South Carolina near me TMr.
Calhoun remarked, yesterday. that he had
no language 10 express the infamy which
in his judgement. must attach to that man
who had been before the people raising his
voice in the general shout that proscrip-
ton was TO be prescribed, and was IN the
face ofsuch action, now here begging Tor a
place at the footstool of power. IF my
heart ever responded fully, unqualifedly,
10 any sentiment, il was to that. Fortu.
nately, before the keen scrutiny Of our
-countrymen, DISCUSSES are vain, masks
~unayailing. The practice of the present
administration has already fixed upon its
professions n Of two Il ings-ths stamp
either Of truth or Of f~alsehood; the people
will Judge which.
One word more and | leave this sub.
ject-a painful one'to me, from the begin.
ming to the end. The Senator from North
Carolina, in the course of his remarks the
other day, asked, "Do gentlemen expect
that their friends are to be retained in
Office againstthe will Of the nation9 Are
they 30 unreasonable as to expect what the
circumstances and the necessity Of the
forbid?" What our expectations
were, is not the question now; but what
were your pledges and promises before

Clay,) made a similar remark: IAN un.
