WHALERs RESPONSIBILITIES from Kawaihae
received on Saturday last, state that two whaleships
are at Kealakeakua- The report was received at
Kawaihae by a native boat from down the coast. 1t is
possible that a southern whaler or a French ship may
have put in there, unable to make the windward
port of Hilo, but it is improbable that a whaler from
the North would pass by the other ports to enter
Kealakeakua. We shall have definite advices from
that port about Sunday next

Garter, who fit, until Squire Catehem and
the town constable came up; and in their
attempts to preserve the peace and arrest
the offender, the Squire was thrust through
the window of a matchmaker, doing heap
of damage, while Lawyer Hooker in at
tempting to aid the constable, was hit, in
mistake, by the furious blacksmith in the
shortribs, and went reeling down Gumbo's
cellar with frightful velocity! The friends
and fellow churchmen took sides against
the Quaker antagonist, and the shop-boys
of Abraham, seeing their employer thus
beset came to the rescue, while two Irish
men, full of fun and frolic, believing it to
be Stree fight" tried their hands and
sticks upon the combatants indiscriminate-
ly; so that in less than half an hour, the
quiet and happy town of Frogtown was sha-
ken from its propriety by one grand and
terrible battle. Heads and windows were
children and women screamed
dogs barked-dust flew-labor ceased
and so furious, mad and excited became the
whole community, that quiet looker-oii,
if there had been any, would have sworn
that the evil ones were in frogtown.
A heavy thunderstorm finally put an
end to the row; the dogs were more or less
killed; child severely wounded! man
scalded; wagon broken: the horse ran
himself to death; bis owner was beaten
awfully by Bob Carter, whose wife and
the wife of many others were dangerously
scared; the painter was crippled; dry
goods ruined; Quaker and Deacon,
two Irishmen, Joe Tucker, town constable,
Lawyer Hooker, Squire Catchem, and some
fifty others shamefully whipped. Lawsuits
ensued, feuds followed, and the entire peace
and good repute of Frogtown annihilated
all by remarkable dog fight.

''rhe sober second thought of the people,
seldom wrong, and always Efficient" seems
10 be at work in New York.
Mr.. Buchanan said that his election ami
hilated the Republican party. Election re-
suits tell us differently. So the slaveholding
Buchaneer majority Of the Supreme Court
think they have just annihilated it again
We think they have helped to infase new life
AMI yisor into the party by their infamous
and revolutionary decision. Time will de-

r.. wev.lu,lonnry Decision.

The decision in the bred Scott case wa
not - strong in the number OF its support
sn on the bench was reported, Judge Grier
Of Pennsylvania, prononncing in favor OF thu
constitutionality Of the Missouri Compromise
instead Of against it, as was supposed. Ths
question stood, six to three, Mclean, Curtis,
and Grier giving opinions in its favor. Nell
son, Of New York, skulked. II was under
stood that he supported Taney's decision,
but in his s'opinion,' he argued on other
grounds, and let the Compromise alone
The positive and unequi,ocal supporters,
then, were Eve, and they all Starch olders,
and all Black Democrats. or those unde-
filed BY personal interest in slaves, three
were emphatically in favor Of the constitu-
tionalisy of excluding Slavery from national
territory, and one occupies somewhat
equivocal position. The politics of the four
Northern Judges, is as follows Mclean lie
o Republican, Grier and Nelson are Black
Democrats, and Curtis 10 Fillmore man.
In talent and legal weight, these four rank
above any four who could be selected from
the Southern members.
So we can see how much respect is due to
this decision, which revoutionizes the theory
OF our institutions, which reverses the hith-
erto uniform and unquestioned decisions of
that same Court, and contradicts the ex-
pressed opinions Of Chief Justice Marshall,
of Kent and Story, Of Webster, and Clay, and
Adams, and jefferson, and Monroe, aud Of
oil our eminent statesmen, including many of
those who formed the Constitution itself
This decision, its causes and its consequents,
viii provoke more discussion and prove more
important in its influences than any act in
the history OF our government for the last
quarter of century. Its grounds and its
history should be carefully studied by every
one who feels an interest in the future poll
tics and public welfare of the American peo-
pie,-by every patriot, every friend OF HUI
man Rights and Of Constitutional Law.

A FAST PEoPLK.-The Yankees have been
hitherto considered fast people, but the
English, in religious matters, seem to have
gone ahead of us on the high pressure prin-
cipie. A late English paper says:
"Many prayer books are now sold in Lon
don with looking glass inserted on the in
ner side Of the cover, in order that the la
dies may arrange their hair or admire them
selves while using the book at church."
Respecting the above, Prentice, Of the
Louisville Journal, remarks that the next
thing he expects to hear Of is dressing
room attached to our fashionable churches,
as Fashion has driven Religion to the wall.

BITTER RKBuKE.-Gen. Quitman in his late
celebrated speech in the House, in speaking

to revive the slave trade are shocking to the

remark:

LONELINESS 1t is not your neat dress,
your expensive shawl, or your pretty fingers
that attract the attention of men Of sense.
They look beyond these. Ii 10 the true low
illness of your nature that wins and con-
tinues to retain the affections Of the heart.
Young ladies sadly miss it who labor to i'm :
prove their outward looks, while they bestow
not a thought on the mind. Fools may be
won by gew-gaws and fashionable, snowy
dresses; but the wise and substantial are
never caught by such traps. Let modesty be
your dress. Use pleasant and agreeable
language, and though you may not be courted
BY the fop and the sop, the good and truly
great will love to linger in your steps.
