Hnmporlmrt from the Sandwich Is
fnnnSIex


NC find ii the Providence Journal, 3
statement 81 advices from ihe Sandwich Is
lands, which seem to be entitIedto consider
Grafton:
The independence Of these islands IS seri-
ously threatened, and urgent demands for
assistance have been forwarded to w ashing-
ton. asking protection against the impend-
ing danger. The French Government have
made demands upon that of Hawaii Of an
extorlionate and totally inadmissible char
acter, incompatible with the liberties uftIe
nation Pehaps with view Of the whole
Archipelago these claims are to be supper
ted BY squadron, consisting oftwo sixty
gun ships and four other vessels Of war, q
feet fully capable Of seizeing the Islands
and subverting the government, as was done
with the Society groud few years ago.
The infamous conduct Of France towards
the defenceless Queen Pomare, leads US to
expect no better fate for unfortunate King
Kamchamcha LII. To the United States
the appeal comes with double force for to,
this country Hawaiian Government owes its
existence and its subjects their civilization,
while the possession Of those islands flank
ing as they do the coast Of California and
Oregon, furnishes the key TO our Pacific sea-
board.
For years have frivolous pretexts been
formed for presenting exhorbitant claims a.
gainst the Government of the islands, and
every concession made with the hope Of
peace, has been followed by yet more inso-
lent demands. The latest movement is one
calculated to produce alarm from various
causes. The occupation Of the islands by
France must be repealed, at whatever risk,
by the United States.
At the recent marriage of the Emperor,
the Church of Nortre Dame was gorgeous
" decorated in drapery of green and gold,
the colors of Napoleon /. The master of
decorations, upon receiving his order, is
said to hvae intimated that purple would
be the proper color for his Imperial Majesty
on that occasion. mo! we will wait till we
annex Province!" was the pompus but
significant reply. Possibly the Sandwich
Islands may be intendad to furnish the oc-
casiOn for this imperial display; and in truth,
| there is not province adjacent to France
whose forcible annexation would be aztec
ded with results so important to the inter-
ests of the wholesworld as would that ofthe
Hawaiian Kingdom.
Thatit is now rapidly assuming an atti-
tude alarming to the friends of this feeble
Island State, and is made. says the Journal
the subject ofurgent diplomatic appeal, we
know from the highest sources.
How far the declaration. made on the
first Of February. by the new French Min
lister at Honolulu. that France entertains
no ambitious designs against. the Indians. Z"
| is calculated to allay the fears Of the nation.
depends upon the position which that f1nc-
tionary may assume with regard to the
claims he is sent to enforce. Upon this
point nothing has yet been made public.

Our old ex-ueghbor and friend, Mr. II.

cratic candidates for she Legislature in YazoO
county and their families
Mr.. Barksdals ia.well known and highly
esteemed ii The two extremes Of the county,
possesses bold, vigorous and well cultivated
mind, and a. true and untlinching democrat.
as steadfast ii the faith aa Old Hickory ever
was. He is every inch man and gentleman.
. His life i gentle; aud the elements

And say to all the world: THIS Is man.
Nature was in good humor when the Barks-
dale family were made. -Four such men as
Harrison Barksdale; Maj q. Barksdale Of the
Mississippian; Capt VIM. BarEsdaIe the Float
er for Congress, and Fountain Barksdale, q
wealthy and leading merchant Of Yazoo City,
are very rarely to be seen in one family, they
are all honest, talented. patriotic and brave.and
democrats Of the purest water.

stock, and one of four talented brothers. One,
Ed. Bowman. is one Of the leading members Of
the Yazoo bar, Robst Bowman is also a mem
Der of the Yazoo bar, and q most promising
young lawyer and democrat he is; Claiborne is
planter. modest gentIemanof vast personal
popularity. With such standard bearers, dear
old Yazoo will give good account Of herself
in November.
We copy the remarks Of the Sentinel, with
considerable pride Ct cOuaty--sor who can
know that two such remarkable men and re-
markable fanfilies-mark the coincidence
four remarkable brothers in each!-without
being proud of "dear old Yazoon-that if she
didn't produce them all, has the honor Of claim
ing some Of them for her citizens! Only think
of four Bowman's and four Barksdales being
aamong ua!' What pity they cannot all be
in the Legislature at once, and more pity still
none of them viii be there next winter.
We know nothing of the numerscal strength
of the Wing candidates, or whether they are
fianked or backed BY three remarkable brothers
each or not, but Of one thing we are sure
each one is in himself host and when he
meets the freemen of Yazoo "face to face" on
the stump this summer. he viii carry dismay
intothe wigwams of the Boacmans and Barks-
dalee, in particular, and throughout the demo-
cratic camp in general. Judge Burrus has one
brother, Gen. p j. Burrus, well known in the
county as the popular and able representative
from Yazoo, in that famous Mississippi Conven-
ZION, the result of whose deliberations brought
Gen. Quitman, the standard bearer of Disunion,
flying from the north, to repose ever more be-
meath his laurels in the shades Of Monmouth.
We do not believe Col. Harris ever had broth
erz-but rather incline to the opinion, that Ma
ture, after she formed him, destroyed the die,
as she had excelled herself and was jealous of
her own creation!

The NesiIla Valley.

The Mexican papers publish letter from
Gov. Lane, of New Mexico, addressed TO
Mexican Boundary Commissioners, in reIa'
lion 10 the Mesilla Valley. He tells them
that the Congress and President o! the Uni.
ted States have repudiated the provisional
line run from the Rio Grand 10 the Gila,
and he is therefore justified in his act Of
holding the territory in dispute. The line
was run er parte by Mexico. with the sane
ZION of Maj. Bartlett, but against the opinion
of Major Graham, ard under the protest OF
Surveyor Gray, whose consent was neces-
sary 10 make the line valid one. He also
asserts tha, there are abundant witnesses 10
prove that Now Mexico has exercised juris.
dic,ion over The territory in question, and
that the Records OF Dona Ana, of which i,
was an integral part, will sustain the fact
He assures the Mexican authorities thai bis
government does not wish TO see Mexico
fall, but rather prosper and be happy under
free trade and friendly relations, and that il
does not desire any territory which is moi
rightlully its own. From the movements
of Santa Anna we shall not be surprised il
this question leads to another brush with
Mexico. If so, her nationality will mol be
