Honolulu, Oct. 9TH, 1882.
EDITOR GAzETTE II have recently arrived on
His Majestys Island Kingdom, allured b, its
mild healthful climate and reputed fertility, from
cold vigorous part Of the United States. Here
had determined to acquire citizenship and home
with the hope that might enjoy, under protection
of wise laws those inalienable rights Of humanity
which all governments are designed to secure and
preserve for their people. Although by choice, {
mere laborer and desiring nothing except an hum

use Of the fruits derived frem faithful toll, l
should nevertheless, hesitate to cast my lot among
a ruisruled an,agonistic community, diguifed
under the sovereignty Of q Hing into the hollow
semblauce Of an honest. independent nationality.
