The Convention.
HENRY II. PARKER,
Delegate for Kohala.
Honolulu, July 22d, 1864.

To the Editor of the ?. C. .Adrertiser:
Public attention is daily becoming more and more
deeply engrossed in the proceedings of the Conven-
ton now in session. Men not accustomed to interest
themselves in the affairs of the government, are look
ing on with anxious interest, and the conviction is
becoming strong in the community that things are
rapidly approaching a dangerous crisis.
Already it has been claimed by the King and a
portion of the MOBILES, that the Convention possesses
full powers to alter. amend or abolish the Constitu-
ton, and this most extraordinary and dangerous
claim has been at least tacitly admitted by a major
ity of the Delegates; and thus We find ourselves at
once afioat on the sea of revolution and anarchy,
and wholly at the mercy Of the forty or fifty persons
who compose the Conventions; for if they are in any
true sense :" Unconstitutional and authorized to
tamper with the slightest provision of our organic
law, there is no limit at which they will be obliged to
stop until they have overridden and DESTROYED the
whole. Every mans life, liberty and property are
therefore at the mercy OF this Convention; and in
view of the recent performances of the body, who
can say they are not in danger?
We are told. however, by the Honorable Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. that as the King had
scruples in regard to the Constitution, and declined
to take the oath necessary to a proper legal induction
into his Office. the Convention became necessary,
since if the Legislature should be convened and 60
on and pass laws, and he should put his signature to
the same. a doubt would always exist whether such
acts lacking this proper legal formality on the part
Of His Majesty, could be enforced as laws of the land.
For one, 1 think there is good sense in this statement,
and should like to ask the Hon. Associate Justice if
he does not also think that the same doubt may ap-
ply 10 the act Of calling this Convention, and is not in
itself a very good reason, why the Convention should
be very careful about the assumption of extra consti-
tutionaI power. a writer, in your last issue, takes
the ground that the b. Third Estate of the Realm is
not in any true sense present in this Convention; and
such L Judge TO be most certainly the case, since the
Delegates were not elected with a view to any such
extraordinary powers as have been claimed for them;
but | should also like 10 inquire if the g First Estate''
is properly represented; for if in the opinion Of the
Associate Justice, the acts of the legislature bearing
the signature of q King who had never sworn to the
70 the Constitution, would be-cols!de-ed doubtful,

MIR. Gulick then asked to have the authority pro-
duced The Acknowledgement replied, l." II any man
wishes TO have a private quarrel with me, he must
seek the opportunity cut of doors" He then read
letter from His Majesty stating that he was indis-
posed, and requesting him to attend the Convention
and present the " Bill of Rights He stated that
he was commanded to supply the members with
copies Of it, and also with copies of the Constitution
of 1852. Ii is the intention to have the Constitution
entitled after it is passed. A Constitution made and
ordained by His Majesty Kamehameha V, King of
the Hawaiian Islands, the Mobiles and Delegates of
the People assembled"
The motion passed, and the Declaration Of
Rights" was read in both languages. His Elk r c.
Wyllie moved. that the first article be read for dis
cussion. Mr.. D Fl. Hitchcock asked that the whole
Constitution be now read.
The Minister of Finance replied that it was not
ready: that the Convention could approve CT disap-
prove of this part, and then, after thorough discus
sion, it will be passed upon, as a whole, and it will
