We shoui5 require no stronger proof than
the above, that nan may, By long and ear
nest practice and lsbor, arrive At perfection
in any particular calling; fer certainly, if
these extracts, znd the Srtiele from which
they zre taken, sre not the very suhlimiiy Of
u2ligniiy and czuSeless personal abuse Of 8
worthy and honorable gentleman, then the
sublime does not lie in that direction The
editor Of the AGssztssr has had experience
in this kind Of writing, IS any one can see BY
looking over the files Of bis paper; and
these extracts prove thzi he possesses snoth-
er requisite, namely: an utter disregard for
his own repatztion IS = candid, impartial
journalist, united with perfect oblivion as

taeks, and to the good sense Of the public for
whom he processes TO speak 1t may or may
not be matter OF doubtful honor TO be s
Hawaiian citizen, row, IS the editor says;
bit one thing Is quite certain, thst It Is no
credit to the Hawaiian Government OF peo-
PIE that there are eitiZers Of the country,
who, under the pretense Of patriotism and :
desire for the public good, do not hesitate
to yilify aud Inzlign any one who are thought
worthy 70 occupy places oftrust and honorin
the country, more particularly when their
opinion Of the fitness Of such gentleman to Ill
the position TO which he is appointed, Is En-
tirely uufoanded, rather than dedueed from
experience.
A gentleman Is appointed Second Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court, who, during
: residence Of quarter Of century in this
eOuntry, has flied various places Of trust,
with credit to himself and TO the benefit Of
those whom be has served; whose relations
with the people have been such a. TO enable
him to become zs vel acquainted with their
language, peculiar customs and habits Of
thought, As It Is possible for foreigner well
TO become; and VITO, IS 3 legislator and =
judge, has, OF necessity become acquainted
with the written laws Of the Kingdom A man
whose whole interests are Identified with the
interests Of this Kingdom and people, whose
known intelligence and good Judgment can
be inpugned by 10 nan; whose honor has
never been Questioned and is uninpeaehsble.
These are the Qualifications Of the gentleman
whom BIS Majesty has been pleased TO ap-
point 10 the position above named, and they
are certainly Qualifications which should, one
would suppose. give 5 man the right Of 8
tri4l before he Is proclzimed to the world As
unfit and Incompetent for the position-be-
fore "szeh Of our foreign residents a. have
not the nov doubtful honor OF being Hawai-
isn citizens" should jump to the conclusion
that the purity, honor and integrity" Of the
Supreme Court was not being maintained, I
and feel alarmed Lest thereby, their rights
we're made insecure Il Is true that the su-
przne Court Of this Kingdom has enjoyed an
enviable reputation for ''purity, honor aud
and thaf II still enjoys, and no
one, not even the editor himself, doubts but
that II VIII still continue 10 enjoy such repu- 1
