The Hawaiian gazette., 1876-03-15

| shouid nave Deen largely represented, ana
must now strike every one as remarkable tina
there appears the name o: one man only ap
pended to your Address who can claim any
the least drop, of Hawaiian blood
Upon the principle with which set out
that document of this sort must be held t
mean inst what can be gathered from the fac
of it, your Address is the Address of few Ha
waiian subjects of foreign extraction and o
few foreigners of Honolulu associated in
firm and compact body, asking, may not sa,
demanding His Majesty, and that in very Obiec
tionable terms, to dismiss his Ministers, VIII,
have not brought people enough into this coun
try, and in the name of all that is great, good
and patriotic to put those in their places VIII,
will-for Gentlemen I will not insult your
understandings by pretending to imagine thai
you intended to unite thus enthusiastically on
this occasion, to request His Majesty to inaugu-
rate such " radical but underlined, =" change
in the policy of this country" that" without
further temporizing or delay you may be Sc
cured, almost all the national blessings which
can be derived from the best possible forms OF
Government, at the very least possible expense
although 1 am prepared to admit that such a
requestmay really appear interpersed through
out your Address.
There can be no doubt Gentlemen, that the
importation of people may be a proper object,
and one that is of much interest to most of us
especially at this time when there is every
probability that treaty which will add largely
to the value of our main products is almost
daily expected to be concluded, and people
will be in the greatest demand in all the main
branches of industry. 1t so happens also that
in trying to effect our object we may all have
the great satisfaction in feeling that our own
interest and our patriotism,may fairly be COM
bined. Perhaps however Gentlemen, if you
had the framing of your Address to do over
again, in asking for that which would be so
palpably and so directly of value to many of
you, you would be more careful to see, that
your patriotism and your loyalty, which no one
doubts, should not be asserted too prominently,
and above all you would be careful to see, that
the danger which You apprehend to the State,
in case your wishes are not complied with,
should not be exaggerated, in order to place
your patriotism and loyalty in q stronger light.
You would certainly in again addressing
your Sovereign, avoid everything that had
even the appearance of a threat or that would
permit suspicion to arise of an attempt at
or unnecessary alarm, either to-
wards King, Ministers or people; and You would
lot am sure, think it necessary to remind His
Majesty of such an event as the riot on his
election two years ago; by the otherwise
statement that the "oificial expen-
liture" of this country is not " at all times
for the preservation of its own peace"
or you would see at glance that the official
expenditure of no country on earth ever sufficed
or that. No Gentlemen, no country will ever be
ich enough, no country will ever be powerful
,nough, to at alTtimes maintain the preserva-
ion of its own peace" until God in his mercy
the ambition and subdues the evil
PASSIONS Of nvn. but aBUvo all, yuu would
lot, whatever explanation you might couple
With it, first inform His Majesty that you
trove for his Accession to the Hawaiian
'hrone," and then tell him that " this must
,e DONE"
What must be done Must, as your Address
eads, {" every device and measure of His |
iajesty's Government be directed towards the |
cquisition of people,? Must Asiatic men
nd women be imported into this country
whether the King and those of his race who
re most interested, like it or not?
No, Conference.-The Legislature of this
ountry called King Kalakaua to the Throne,
nd the Legislature of this country alone, with
he Kings consent, can permit the revenue of
MS kingdom to be used for that purpose.
lad it been your duty, as it has been mine, to
onsider this question in its different bearings,
GU would have perceived ere this, how deli
ate matter it is, to go to this Hawaiian
legislature and ask them for liberal grants of
loney with the object of introducing a foreign
eople, to reduce the value of their own peo-
les labor, which they may urge may be the
irect effect of it. But you may answer, it is
II the good of the country and for the peoples
wn good, nay you will appeal as you have
ready appealed to every motive, even to Sc
iring the independence of the country, or as
ring the safety of the Throne. But Gentle
en-, the most intelligent Legislatures on earth,
e not always guided in the measures they
lss, by even such great motives, men will
md together in firm and united phalanx to
rive their, own interests, or what they may ,
nsider their own interests, and it only re
Tires little dexterity to string together
recession of melliauous phrases, to shew
at all the patriotism and all the loyalty is
/ their side, and even to brand their opponents
traitors. In this case it would be very l
sy for the native Hawaiian TO do SO. This
idress, and the unfortunate tone Of 1t, may 7.
Ter an incentive to them to band together and i
rgetting the now nearly obIiterated differ a
ces amongst them, unite in the Legislature a
resent what they may easily construe, al :
ough it was not so intended, into an insult !
wards their Sovereign, and to repel what D
~ may consider an aggression towards them l
lves.-sI'hOmme prOpose-et Dieu dispose" !
But, Gentlemen, even though the Legislature n
ould refuse to appropriate money for the in Fl
,ductiOn of people, and they would have
cry right to do SO if it SO pleased them, is !,
