Roszel:
GENTLEMEN In the meeting Of last
Saturday night. at the Court House, you
individually saw fit, the one openly and
directly, and the other by implication,
to challenge me. among others, to enlist
with you under the call now being made
for volunteers. In response to that chal.
lenge l showed you, in candid and sin.
cere words, why, despite the impulse
which any proud or sensitive mind would
feel to Immediately accept a proposition
made under such circumstances, Ifelt it
my duty to wait, and calmly and fully
consider the proposal. When men are
hoarse with passion, or frenzied with
party feeling. or stung with taunts, it is
no time to engage in such work.
Permit me to say that have thought
Of this matter often before. and endeav-
ored to bring to its consideration an hon
est patriotism and sincere desire to
know and to perform my duty. But
when / saw that to enlist not only invol
we'd the entire destruction of my bust
ness, but destroyed the only means Of
support Of the widow Of my late partner.
who laid down his lifa in this cause
when considered of how little service l
would probably be in the field, by virtue
of physical weakness, and how much
more good could probably do in my
present position. I could not see that
there was any obligation resting upon
me to take the step. could have no
such perception of duty now. were the
circumstances the same.
But your proposition puts the matter
in different shape. You are leaders oil
a political party in this county. You
have your influence, and with your par
ty friends that influence is not small. At
ter mature deliberation, | consider it my
bounden duty, at this crisis, to do what
ever is necessary to secure that influence
for the government. / believe that
through your active exertions great prog
ress may be made towards securing a
company Of men from this county. And
now. gentlemen, in no spirit of banter
with no desire to test your sincerity-in
no spirit Of recrimnation--with not O
particle of unkind fesling-but with a
desire only to help my country, I here
declare | am ready to go with you. II
you will give your honest active efforts
to the assistance of Mr.. NOBLE in raising
his Company. and accompany it to the
field, | will march with you or serve un-
der you, and l guarantee to Gnd good
Republican to go with me.
! this day enrol myself with Mr.. No
BILE, conditioned as above, and will fur.
nish my Republican coadjutor as soon as
you both have subscribed the roll.
If this offer is not tangible, I will &c

Lord PALMERsron, in a recent speech
in Parliament. on resolution looking to
recognition of Southern independence,
earnestly advised that the question be
left to the government. In the course Of
his speech he said the issue OF the war
is foregone conclusion, and that the
only satisfactory termination that could
be anticipated was amicable separation.
This he thought. however. would be i'm
pedsd rather than facilitated by debates
in Parliament. He contended that the
acknowledgment of the South could give
the North no cause OF offense, but thought
the present position would not justify The
recognition Of southern independence.

without being compelled To bear the Sis Of for
eigners. who come among them and SOW the
seeds of vice and sin, and then, glorying in the
rapid extinction of the rae, paint their charac-
ter in the most hideous colors.
Iilwaiians are no worse in this respect than
the polished denizens Of New York. London.
Paris, Bremen, or other refined European ci-
ties, and that they should be - shamelully and
habitually held up to public scorn, for the most
part by men who have no sympathies with them,

lover Of the race-eyery true Hawaiian philan-

Had we time or space, we might show the fall
lacy of some Of the conclusions arrived at in the

opinion which is 50 studiously sought to be cir
culated by certain 0i.dissaHt humanitarians,
whose philanthropy for the Hawaiian race is
measured by the amount Of money they can
sponge from the public treasury, is entirely
false. We might show that only Il few years
ago, His Excellency Mr.. Wyllie published
a table Of mortality, according TO which the
population, which in 1910 was set down at So
Gil, would at this present year, 1862, amount
to only 22,276 @ and in the year 1900, num-
Der only 1862, We might show, according 10
data elected by the last census us compared with
previous ones. that the decrease Of our native
population has 6econ1c hearty StGVed, amounting
to less than two per cent? and that the pros
poets of the permanency and future increase of
the Hawaiian race were never more hopeful than
now. We might show that tn Try of pseudo
philanthropists, whose sympathy is measured by
their purses, is solely to create Il false impression
at home and abroad, through which they may
influence legislation, in order to provide for
a temporary livelihood.
