clares, that one of the objects of the organi-

walton of harmony and fraternal good will

to this end" "-what?-'tthe non interference
by Congress with questions appertaining
solely to the individual States" The RIGHT
to regulate her own domestic concerns bv
every State, was contended for in the Phil
adelphia Convention-the validity of the
power of Congress to legislate in regard to
slavery was denied, and an expression of the
denial-the public denial-of the validity of
that power, in Congress. was called for and
that call was answered in the words of this
section. That denial drove how many
Freesoilers away from the Conyention-off
ofthe Platform and out of the house? And to
leave no room for misapprehension, the same
Convention declared mon intervention bv
each State with the affairs of any other State, -
to be part of the doctrine to which they
held. Are our friends of the opposition an

Mr.. EDITOR Can you inform your readers what
on earth the long wordy editorial which appears in
the last PoEynesian is about, and what the Editor is
aiming at? He says, :" Were the high sounding. and
in some instances empty names arbitrarily bestowed
to create false impressions abroad, or to give lustre to
q small work-a-day Court, there would be little in
deed to say in defence of such toying"
Now [ should like to know g what is IN the WIND
is the sapient Editor of the : Government organ
covertly insinuating in the above extract that such
state Of things exists in Honolulu or has the Editor
got his back up a little, and is he silly poking his
nose into the Foreign Office and giving the incpm-
bant a dig for his magnificent foreign policy or does
the Editor mean to call attention to the high sounding,
verbose, bombastic, puffy dispatches (worthy of a
place in Hudibras or Don Quixote) which upon every
possible occasion eminates from the foreign office or
is the Editors fire pointed at the parade and nonsense
with which it is supposed to be necessary to surround
ROYALTY, or to the fuss and feathers, laced coat and
cooked hat performances of a certain minister? BY
answering the above enquiries you may possible
oblige one, who though coming from Europe, thinks
q great deal Of OIMPLICITf.

Mr.. EDITOR Il observe a correspondence in the
last Polanesian between the Minister of Foreign Rela-
lions and other parties regarding surveys OF our mar
bor. I notice the Minister has given proper credit to
others while he very modestly takes none to himself
for the great services he has rendered to hydrograph-
ical and other sciences generally by the erection OF a
pair of marine hippografs on the weather reef. am
Informed that they were erected to use In surveying
the harbor, but confess 1 should never have suspected
their utility. Capt Hull has doubtless availed HIM
self of their long-legged assistance though he has
neglected to mention it in his report, probably from
motives of delicacy. [ have been often interrogated
as to their object and cost, and as it was a public con-
Germ, thought it my duty to ascertain. After endless
search and inquiry, [ can only guess that it must
have been an attempt to initiate one of those amphiD-
ious insects which CULVER forgot to describe Ill his
veritable book of travels.
Since writing the above, I popped my head out the
window and discovered that one of the critters has
disappeared, probably from disgust at not beng
officially noticed in the last POlynesian.
Yours, SQUIBoB.

Humanity with all its fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what master laid thy keel.
What workmen wrought thy ribs of deal,
Who made each mast and sail and rope,
What anvils rung, what hammers beat.
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound aud shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock
Ts but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale
In spite Of rock and tempests' roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts our hopes are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee,-are all with thee.n

day that Mr. BuchananS late letter contained the de-
caration that he would have voted against the Ne
braska bill because it repealed the Missouri Compro-
mise comes out the day after and says it was msta-
ken-that it has been assured by two distinguished
gentlemen" who have read the letter, that every
thing in it relating the Nebraska question du-
~ communicated to the public. This may be so or
it may not. People will have doubts on the subject,
nevertheless. The best way TO clear up the matter
is to publish the letter entire What's the objection
to ity

inkling ofits frailty, and have protted by it.
But that asile-whether such a declaration, a.
the one alluded to- is contained in the Slidel letter
or not, the evidence embraced in the port given
TO the public is almost conclusive that Mr. Buchanan
was opposed to the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise. And yet the Southern Democracy ready
to support him for the Presidency when the proba-
bilities all are that, had he been in Congress, he
would have voted side by side with Everett, John
Bell, and Others whom they have denounced with
