up reasoning with those enemies of the Ha-
waiian People who, impelled by dyspepsia,
and under the cloak of religion, endeavor to

never knew the meaning of Satanic Press, y
until became acquainted with the Kuokoa,
which hastens, at all times, tC manifest,
Evargelically," of course, all kinds of dia-
bolical feelings. We are always a week
behind the times, but you may be assured
that, W here, we are all with you with all
our hearts. We have not seen more readable
paper than the GAZETTE of Nov. Sd. The
first leader-an appeal to Mechanics-is un-
answerable. We know, here, that the NOR
tality on Maui has been among those who
had no regular employment, and you are safe
in asserting that the scarlet fever, which has
lately taken of-to Heaven, l hope-some
hundred or more, in Makawao and Koolau,
has taken none who were regular in their
work and habits, on the plantations do
not believe that Spencer, Goodale or Hebron
will tell you that they have lost, by death,
any considerable number of their workmen
during the past year.
1 have prepared, for the use of the next
meeting which may be called by the authors
of the late meetings at the Capital, a set of
resolutions which it would be well for them
to propose:
WHEREAS, The annual sugar crop NAV be
2O,OOO tons; and whereas, the same pays for
our imports, and supplies the freigbfs which
keep the packets running between this coun-
try and California; and whereas, the capital
employed to produce this crop has not "yet
produced new dollar for an old one, or
paid simple interest,"" Gas is said by Mr.. c.
Therefore, Be il BeSotged, That it is rather
rich to be told by man who has come into
the country but short time ago, when
speaking of our laborers, VERY well, let
THEM stay in THEIR own country, and work
out their own salvation" (N BIZ any
person in the meeting does not see the wis
dom OF this when spoken by one foreigner,
who is of a different race from the aboriginal
people Of this country,-though his skin be
white,--of another whose skin happens to
be yellow let him be squelched out.')
ReSotged, We don't own any vessels, nor
act as agents for any, and that We deem it
a great oppression and wrong to hold any
man who has shipped under "Purser's
name," to the terms of the Articles We will
insist that all such should be discharged, and
keep all his advances, and whatsoever he
may have received from the slop-chest, but
OF course, he will stop with us at So 100 per
week, to do our cooking, yard, and stable
work.
Resolved, That the Planters interest shall
not be represented in the next Legislature,
because the RUokod says so, and we are
- EVANGELICAL" and kifokod, independently
ResOtUed, That Plantations are the only
permanent and steady industry yet establish
ed in this country supporting foundries,
and the whole circle of
tradesmen; yet We are so full of the milk of
human kindness that we don't want them to
live at the risk of a POSSIBLE, contingent
wrong to some one of our dear fellow men
who have CHANGED 10 be born in China
and ought to have staid there
ReSolUed, We do NOT see that our Planters
are influenced by race or color, and do see
all races on our large plantations working
side by side, without a vestige
Of faint of slavery, or suffering any wrong
Or oppression, the loafers, bummeTs, and
iyspeptics of Honolulu, to the contrary
ReSolSed, Nobody is very crowded yet, ex-
,ept poor incapables, who have driited to,
md stranded in our seaports, and those who
nave become SO enslayed to their vices as
not TO be willing to quit the seductiOns Of
ihe seaports, TO earn their living by contin-
1ous and honest labor.
Resolped, That no journeyman cooper, ma
,hinist, blacksmith, carpenter, or other reg
llar mechanic dare say that Chinaman has
deprived him of a masters wages, for if
ne does say so, he confesses himself incom-
)etent.
RESOLVED, That the Opposition, in Homo
ulu, though they have not the courage to
ay, that they wish to ruin the Planters, yet,
y their acts, show this desire; and though
With their lips they say, Long live the
King" in their hearts they wish to over
