MAUI, Feb. nth, 1869,
Nh. DIRECTOR: Let me confidentially as
sure you that the Board of immigration are
right, and believe are supported by all, ex-
cept a very few in Honolulu, in their present
efforts to carry out the views Of the Legisla-
ture, in the Act to promote immigration
into this country, from the Southern Islands.
1 have known Captain English great many
years, and he is the best selection for this pc
culiar business, which the Government has
made for long time, and that is saying 8
great deal He is one of the fairest, most
honorable men have ever dealt with, and,
as understand it, would rather have his
record of dealings with Southern Islanders,
than some other records 1 wot Of
feel indignant, in reading the KHokoa Of
Feb 18th The first leader, in Hawaiian, is
malicious, false, and very mischievous in its
aim and tendency, and the first English arti-
Gle is as bad. But for my part, would not
thank the editor of that paper and all his co
adjutors, to add a Amen ~ to good Mr.. Da-
mons benediction of any enterprise in which
1 should be engaged. We Kuaainas are
obliged, in our anxiety TO obtain almost any
reading matter, to read even the KuOkod,
more fully than the people of Honolulu
would, perhaps, think. I do not believe
they know how many elements of wrong
that publication contains. Let US ask the
editor what enterprise can be carried on
without pledge Of continuance of effort,
for some time. Is not the Kuokoa printed
BY apprentices? Perhaps not But if 50,
where is thew wrong, because they have agreed
for two or three years, any more than if they
had agreed for day, Does the Secretary Of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association have
any objection to engaging people for the yoy-
age, TO navigate the Morning Starr or would
he think If more moral TO engage them "by
the run" to run atthe first port they might
take fancy to How are the employees Of
the a B. c. z. NJ, and the Hawaiian Evan
gelical Association more free to 90 and come,
be Intelligent" "moral," and "reli
gious," than /, who am laboring under con
tract for length Of times or any Of them

Has the Reverend Editor DO thunder tc
spare, no mutterings of mighty indignation
10 utter to the guano islanders, or whaiers,
who take the flower Of our young men, and
make indeed emigrants Of them to the sunny
islands of the Equator. or the sunny North
ern Seas, and that too under contracts for 9
length of times Perhaps he can give them
the Amen, which ne withholds from an en-
terprise calculated to people these Islands.
