BEEN AND DONE 1r.-For some time past
We have noticed in our junior brother, cer-
tain symptoms that convinced us that some
thing was going to happen-either suicide
or some other rash act. Natural solicitude
for the welfare Of our parents children, in
duced us to watch him closely, and often
We found him in the possession Of sundry
articles that no confirmed bachelor has any
business with! Knowing him to be man
Of correct morals, we were driven to the
conclusion that something was going 10
happen, and Notwithstanding the inclemen-
cy Of the weather, something did happen.
The ordeal was met with true spartan forti-
tude and the last we saw Of the happy
couple they remarked that they should be
back when they returned. We trust there
will be no mistake.

We ind that the laws passed in l640, were
enacted by the King and Mobiles, but in l64l,
the House of Representatives became n part Of
the enacting power, and all laws subsequently
made were approved by His Majesty and the
Premier.
This state of things existed for ten years. or
up to 1851, when increased foreign commerce
and intercourse with foreigners rendered the
revision OF the Constitution necessary.
We accordingly find that a joint resolution
was passed June Goth, 1851, providing for the
appointment of three commissioners, one by
the King, one by the Mobiles, and one by the
House of Representatives, to revise the Constitu-
ton Of the Kingdom, and on or before the next
December 10 issue public notice of the change
which thew recommend, and submit the same 10
the consideration of the next Legislature that 1t
may pass upon the changes proposed, agreeably
with the Constitution as ii now exists"
Commissioner under this resolution were duly
appointed, and on the 2sth of November, they
published in the Polynesian the draft of the
Constitution prepared by them. Representa-
tives of the people were elected to the Legislature
after the publication of the Commissioners and
in June, 1852, after full discussion and amend
ment. the present Constitution was adopted by
the Mobiles and Representatives of the people in
Legislative Council assembled, and signed by the
King and Premier-an instrument which, in the
language of Chief Justice ALLEN, GO has no less
binding force than if it had been the result of n
revolution"
In view of this brief history of facts, the
ignorance or the mendacity of the author of the
extract first quoted, will sufficiently appear.
The precedent established in regard to a revi-
sion of the Constitution, under the guidance of
so accomplished a judicial officer as the late Chief
Justice Lee, seems a safe one to follow and the
only one whereby the people, or third estate of
the Kingdom, can, with any proper degree of
equality with the two other estates, ever have a
voice.
The present delegates We're elected without the
slightest knowledge of what was to be submitted
to them, and the people who elected them were
equally ignorant of what the changes were to be,
while both the Constitution of 1910 and of 1852
posiHrely require such previous notice TO be .giren.
That of 1910, says, :" notice shall be previously
given, that all the people may understand the
nature of the proposed change" and that of
1852 declares, " which proposed amendment or
amendments shall be published for three months
previous to the election of the next House of
Representatives" -
From the above extracts it will be obvious to
all, that in any Constitution the present Conven-
power is not represented in conformity with the
Constitution, and consequently the representa-
ton is illegal.
