II the principal Object OF the Government. in
issuing rs paper, i 10 array one section Of this
community with deadly hate against anOther-to
seek by the utternce of SANDERS and falsebOods
- create prejudice against any class. we have
merely to say, 90 on and you will accomplish the
object, and -oOu create discussion If not r~evolu-
ton. There j. a point beyond which forbea rance
is a crime. and when 1t becomes the duty Of
every man to Assert bis rights. and to defend his
honor.
If the writer OF the aboyc-quoted paragraph
intends 10 assert that this country nearly lost its
Independence - through efforts of the American
Missionaries 70 effect annexation, We brand the
assertion rs a malicious fal-shoOi. None have been
more opposed TO II from the frst than that very
cInss. The famous annexation petition Of 1853
was defeated mainly through their influence,
and If that document i ever brought out from
the records Of the Privy Council Chamber. it will
be found that a majority Of the signers are nOrr
government officers. not excepting the govern
ment editor himself.
To charge this annexation scheme on those
who stood aloof from it, who would not cOunten-
ance. and who took every opportunity TO oppose
II. in order 70 make those in power appear as
Ioval servants, shows n degree of baseness and
deprayity characteristic of the official organ. To
exucct peace and harmony when such SANDERS
are officially promulgated, i impossible.
None desire peace more earnestly than we; but
none will be hrner in demanding their just
RIGHTS. Ministers have had every opportunity
during the past two years to accomplish some
thing benefciai Tor the nation. IT they have not
