under the immediate control of the Ministers, who
are solely responsible for every line in it, issuing
inflammatory articles to the natives, telling them
that the foreigners are designing to rob them Of
their rights, their property and their country, to
trample them under, to rive them to the noun,
tains, and calling on them TO rise and resist. But
in order that our readers may Judge for themselves,
we insert a translation of one of the articles re.
icrred To
Cndersfand. q People OF Hnwnii.
Great has been my establishment in Observing that
by the showing of the RsolOa, it proclaims that 10y
the instruction of the foreigners and their good labors
for US, the blessings of the people have been attained,
in its vain glorious saying, - How did the natives OBJ
tain the land now held 10y them, Was it not by the
perseverance of foreigners; - affirm that it was not.
But il was granted through the love of the chiefs for
their children, the common people. | have never
seen in the history Of Hawaii nei that the foreigners
took part in the battle of lao, never. never.
And this | would observe, If the foreigners have
labored for the Government and for this people, they
have been literally repaid. In whose hands are the
rich green valleys of this llnd-the fine comfortable
houses7 Their numerous focks Of sheep bleat by the
shady streams, and their hundreds and thousands of
cattle range on the plains and the mountain sides of
Hawaii mel. They are fed with the heritage, and they
drink also the cool falling waters of Hawaii nei. They
deyOur to safety, and uselessly devastatc the wealth
Ct my mother land I! Have not the Foreigners been
supcrabundantly recompensed?
Ii is said that the evil of my words endanger . the
exciting of jealousy" by my saying that " the desire
Of the foreigners is to render this people wholly desti-
tute of property and distinction, with the thought to
forcibly drive the aboriginal natives back into the
mountains, like the Indians of the United States"
The positive truth of this is exceedingly plain to me,
and in order that il may be illustrated, it Is proper
that the Kuokoa recall To- memory that famous cause
Of trouble between the old Board of Education and
Miss BrickwOOd. On the arrival of a certain foreign
woman, that Board turned out the Hawaiian girl, and

was not turned out for any incompctency, but in order
10 give IA comfortable living 10 the foreigner. And
we ask, is not this a clear proof of eontemptuOus treat
ment, of the foreigners meanness,-f anything can
be? 1t is IA plain proof, and such is the well-knOwn
belief at this time, that these people are the ones who
proclaim publicly and with exultation, eve are the
friends of Hawaii {! we are the friends of Hawaii -
whilst their real thought and desire is to trample Hla-
wall under foot.
/ before stated Tin n former letter., that the wish
Of the newspaper Of II. VI. Whitney was the election
of foreigners only, and in the p. &. ..AdreriiSer of the
2lst of December, this is the language used For
cigners, wherever they can be had, should be chosen
Ii is n great attempt to deceive, but the aniInus of
their dream is revealed. Ii is greatly boosted that
the Hawaiians are educated, but these foreigners here
now say The foreigners the foreigners ! ! the for
eigners only should he elected, not the natives of Ha-
waii ~" Does not this confirm what | stated i'll
my first article-s They are the eacmies Of the people,
and their desire is 10 9ePrire us entirely Of property
and distinction 2"

their property. But from whence did they obtain
their riches? Did they come from abroad with their
wealth No. We can cmembe certain of them who
came hither wearing striped shirts and salt and pep
per coats ; and were it not for the Hawaiians. they
could not get "A morsel of food. Therefore | turn
again to you, my brethren of this people: " Unite Ell
masse (the prayer of Hakalau uniting ally; let us rise
together from Hawaii t. NiilIau, and elect those of our
own blood let us stand erect, and show ourselves
that we are a people who understand the preserving
of our own rights lest possibly the thought of these
foreigners be- to obtain entrance into the Legislature
and seek occasion of oflcnse for the object of getting
our Government into trouble. Then they will laugh
at the accomplishment of tneir desires-the thing we
now family hear rumOrcd of the transfer of our Gov
ernmcnt. Then, IL W. are not bound together by
treaties, and united To other governments with whom
we are ON friendly terms, then we shall perhaps real
ize the truth Of the dream in the indiscriminate rob
berry of our country by the persons alluded 10
Therefore, o my friends, from the whispering sea
Of kawaihae To where the sun sets IT Lehua Rise
er.ct-go forward and carry your ballots for
those of your own blood ; for those whose characters
you understand, and show To the foreigners by your
acts, your independence and your readiness To pre-
serve your native land. Show forth that the Ian
guagc of the foreigners is false, saying that we are
on for the sake of a living (hoopiiimsaai.)
Give your attention ami affection To your Sovereign
To- the land l. of our nativity.
This j. the desire and appeal Of your brother of the
same blood and your obCdient servant,
\ True HAWAIIAN.
In his first article. this truc-bloOdcd Hawaiian
wrote thus
1t seems from the leading article of the news
paper y. q. .adrerfiser (3Gd N%ovcmber), that a gen.
uine rebellion is gathering, and If the views of the
population of Hawaii mel accord with those of
paper, then We have the summons To grid on our
RrmOr in preparation for a war of rebellion within
our own land ; but, praised be the name of Almighty
Col, that lac was pleased not 10 give hearts To the ma
lives Of Hawaii, similar to me black hearts Of those
bidckgudrf them here"
There has nothing appeared in the Advertiser
will warrant these inccndiary and inilam-
matory appeals to the native race. There has not
one word been uttered that will justify this at
tempt to inspire them with fear. We have urged,
and still urge the election of good man as reprc-
10 The LcgiSionUre-nativcs ii they can
Ice had, otherwise foreigners. Some of the men
who for the last two or three years have been
representatives, arc well known to Ice living in
violation of the laws of morality and religion, and
10 have been either Office holders or seekers after
office and favors. Such men are not true
representatives of the people, and can never vote
