and successfully upheld the Kingly author
ity of the Kamehamehas and their sue
cessors. Mr.. Wyllie's idea which he
Iabored for a quarter of a century to estab-
bIish, an Independent Hawaiian Kingdom,
unhampered by Consular Courts or a Pro-
tectorate. would never have been realized,
had he not been stanchly sustained, and

Hawaiian Kingdom"
for more than half O century persistently
The latter statement Is unquestionably
true, being amply sustained by evidence,
in respect to any American Ministers OF
Hawaiian Kings. In q political record"
we nave before US, drawn up by the emil
nent Minister Wyllie we note the follow
ing declaration.
al consider it my duty to the King and
His Sovereignty to discourage all repub-
lican tendencies, as specious attempts to
level and degrade him to the mere rank of a
superior chief, and as calculated to under
mine His influence and authority, and place
the islands in subsection to the dominion of
the whites. I consider that the subsection
of the Islands to white dominion would
lead to the extinction of the native race"

These gentlemen both Americans were
Ministers of Kamehameha III, the first
one the Premier, formerly q citizen OF the
State of New York and the second, the
Attorney General, a former citizen of the
State of Louisiana. And we have only to
mention the names of Lee, Richards and
Allen, and other Americans to give farther
nnpffrnnafiOn IN fhi0 cfQfamanf Rnf we
cannot include all the American Ministers
of Hawaiian Kings, in this category, as we
have to recall to mind the advocacy of the
annexation of the islands by the American
Minister Phillips. However the statement
of American loyalty to the Hawaiian
Monarchy is amply sustained.
But as regards the success of Hawaiian
Independence, as contrasted with other
Polynesian Groups or States, we must re-
cognize the paramount claims of the Ha-
waiian Hero ~Kamehameha, in the establish
ment of a nationality. This is the distin-
gushing advantage of the Hawaiian Archi-
pelago, and without such a Conqueror and
organizer, other groups and races remain
disorganized, and a prey to foreign adven-
ture. AS the great Norman Conqueror
laid the foundation for the glories of
English craftsmanship and wealth; SO did
the Hawaiian Conqueror establish in these
isles a foundation for peaceful govern
ment the creation of property,-and
foreign recognition.
In respect to "Monarchical Europeans in
Polynesia" it is hardly fair to contrast the
interventions of Maritime Powers, who
AVE had fleets in the Pacific for over q
century, with the action of another Power
in the same region that has not been pre-
sent within it, in any force, till within the
last two decades. And really, Fiji, Samoa
and other groups of the Pacific In their dis
organized state, offer temptations to every
species of Illicit enterprise, and invite the
Intervention of some organizing Power.
This work of the organization of Polyne-
STA, was initiated for by the achievements
of Kamehameha, and should nave been
accomplished by the craftsmanship of this
Kingdom.
