H6S~ We surrender most of our space to-day to
the news from California, the Sandwich Islands
and Australia. But little of interest is now oc-
curing. !. Our exchanges are more than usually
dull.
1t appears that the plan Of annexing the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States, which
was so fondly entertained and so briskly pro-
secuted by the deceased King Kamehameha,
has been abandoned by his successor, who is
said to be altogether under English influence.
in addition to the news from these islands,
which we publish in another column, we sub
join the following items:
The CABINET OF KING KAMEuAMEHA.-The
King has made the following appointments :
Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria Kane
hameha, Kahuano Nuvia; John Young, Min
lister of the Interior; R. c. Wyllie, Minister of
Foreign Relations; E. ii. Allen, Minister Of
Finance; r. Armstrong Minister of Public In
struction; William G. Park, Marshal Of the
Kingdom; His Royal Highness Prince Kane
hameha, General Commanding inchief of the
Hawaiian Army r. c. Wyllie, Secretary of
War; His Royal Hghness Prince Kameha
meha, Chamberlain; M. Keakuano, Governor
of Oahu; P. Nahalelua, Governor of Maui; P.
Konoa, Governor of Kouai; Luke Keilikalani,
Governess Hawaii.
"On January oath, Mr.. Gregg, United States
Commissioner, received dispatch from Mr..
Wyllie, the Minister of Foreign Relations sta
ting that the latter had been ordered by the
King to discontinue the negotiations for the
annexation of the Islands to the United States
commenced and carried on by his hate Majesty
Kamehameha III. On January 25th, Com
mander Bailey, of she United States sloop-of
war St. Nary, entered strong protest, through
the Commissioner, to the Hawaiian govern
ment, against the language of the Kings pro-
clamation Of December 28th, which states that
the naval force Of the United States would be
employed in protecting the Kings sovereignty
At the Kings reception, January l6, he ad-
dressed the officers of the United States French
and English vessels of war, and declared that
they represented the three great maritime pow.
ers Of the earth and the three greatest supper
ters of the independence of his kingdom.
"King Kamehameha Nv. thus concludes an
address recently delivered to his new Privy
Council: "From all my counsellors / desire
frank and faithful advice, and those who advise
me honestly have nothing to fear while those
who may abuse my confidence and advise me
more from personal interests than regard for
the public good, have nothing to hope"

present or any subsequent administration OF
the federal government, except as they advo-
cate or oppose measures OF our policy"
Now, we have several remarks to make. One
is, that we abhor all new parties. They are
altogether unnecessary and moreover, as an
enthusiastic Democratic acquaintance is wont
to say" They are conceived in sin and born
in iniquity."
We also abhor sectional parties. They dis
regard all the lessons and admonitions of the
fathers of the Republic, and they violate not
only the spirit but the letter of the Constitution.
They endanger the very existence of the Union.
A sectional party may and ought to be formed
when its guaranteed and constitutional rights
are deliberately and continuously violated by
an opposite and q predominant section. But
such a party, like the State Rights party, should
rather be called constitutional, than Sec
tional party. The opposing party should pro-
perly be called the sectional party.
But this new California party, or ism, does
not complain Of oppressive violations of the
Constitution. 1t simply complains that Con-
gress in the exercise of its legislative discretion,
has not done every thing that these new politi-
clans wished.
Our idea Of this party, based on its platform
is, that it violates all the first principles Of con-
servatism, union, and nationality, and that it is
sectional and plunder party. 1t exhibits the
first attempt to array our Pacific, against our
Atlantic citizens, and as such, should be re-
pudiated by all good men. We may attach too
much Importance to it-but we mark it in its
small beginnings and we af6x to it the seal of
our condemnation.
There are features in it we like. We admire
its progressiveness and its fiery ambition-but
we want no new party. The Democratic party,
with its welltested and time-honored principles,
is good enough for US. We are sorry to see
our Pacific brethren, SO early in their career cul-
tivating feeling of jealousy towards the old
States Of the Union.

Doubtless the old North College will soon be

now and then from the business of life to make
pilgrimage to his Alma Mater, will ever
mourn their loss.-M Y. Jour. Of Commerce.
