KING EALAKAUA's TOUR ROUND THE WORLD.
NO. ~
Arise , o Hawaii Of Keawei
Here Is thy Chief Of Chiefs ;
Thy bud; thy blossom; and thy flower.
Thy chief indeed: o, Mani II Kama
The blooming flower Of Kakae,
The sacred choice of the Heavens
Advance We shores of Piilani
(Shores Of Lanai and Rahoolawe.)
Thou also, o. Molokai Of Hina,
Oahu stands forth IN the lead,
The loved land Of Kakuihewai
The chosen seat doth greet thee
Flags wave gently in the breeze,
Cannons blare forth their roar;
And the entrance Of Mamala re-echOes
Voices Of song, and loud hurrahs;
Voices Of Joyous Welcome Homei
1t was the journey Of a great free Chief,
Who glanced at all things,
He stood on the highest OF the heights;
And reached the four remote corners.
Come up, O Kauai of ManOi
With thy sun shining on Lehua
Let all bless and honor
Every one: O, We People,
Join with the heavenly hosts;
Who have Joined with us;
With Our Sovereign Lord and King,
Hawaii wreathed royal Diadem.
Long live Ka LAM (The King) the Chosen
Until the heights of the heavens are reached.
(No. p
To Thee, o sun, that shineth brightly,
Der all the skirts of the globe,
Make known his royal worth,
Thy light shall reveal his glory,
He sought his wish with wisdom,
And beheld the hidden things of the world.
He witnessed the beauty Of Himala, (Asia,)
The Joyous ripping waters bore him on;
He beheld the mountain of great fragrance,
(Fusiyama,)
Famed for its splendor and towering crest,
And thou, o Ka LAM, set high above,
ThOu didst o'erpass the tabus of Tahiti,
(of all foreign Lands.)
Uprose the angry sea,
And smoOthed its wild flow for theei
Reach forth to all the isles of the seal (The
Pacific.)
To be thy companions Okla Lanii
Whilst thou jOurneyest, O., King
The spirit Of Heaven was thy helper,
The morning star VASTLY guide.
Thy enemies fed before thee
They speaking vainly against thee (!
Long live ka LAM,
To the farthest reach Of the advancing
world
And shall these outpourings of a simple
and faithful hearted people be designated as
the " elaborate bestialities of a decrepit pa
ganism ," Then is all spirit of poetic out
pouring, and effusion of the heart, bestial
pagan.

and drunken voters select men of the most
abandoned character" is a wholesale SLAM
upon the Hawaiian people and their
representatives. There are drunkards in the
land, we regret to acknowledge, of all races.
has Hawaii a larger proportion han
Is there no drunkenness at the
hastings and polls of enlightened old Eng
land and America ? And may it not be
reasonably supposed, in view of the s~tatisti-
cal accounts of the desolating food of intoX-
drink in the Great Republic, that a
large number other voters are drunkards; yet
who W i'll venture to assert, that the represent
tatiyes of her free institutions are chosen by
? 1t would not be safe to make such a
in that great free country and
il is not honorable, nor in accordance with
any spirit of Christian charity, to promul-
gate such a statement in this little country,
no more deserves such OppTobrium
the greater one. The choice of Ha-
electors of this little State for Rep
resentatives is as fairly made as in any
other representative country; and they
generally choose fair, average men as their
representatives. They have, in times past,
chosen a Judd, a Carter, a Wilder, and a
Warehouse; were they the choice Of drunk
and debauched voters? This will not be
and it is not to he supposed
Hawaiian voters have less discrimina-
ton in respect to merit, or less ability to
select worthy representatives now than at
that time.
In conclusion, We must pray the rever-
gentleman to drink again, and deep
er, at the Fount of Divine Love and we
say that If he would re-illumc the sacred
fires of a holy charity on al altar of amity
the races, let him avoid adding
brands of discord to the fragrant fuel de
for the offerings of peace.
