Tor any one 20 think OF annexation, for II Hawaii
were 10 become part of America, we should
have TO bear part of the load Of war debt Of
that government, and the rich sugar planters
would be robbed of their laborers and the
various enterprises in the land would go back
ward.
Again, we have in our midst much wealth,
brought here by people of different races, for
the enriching of our land. But the question
arises, will they consent TO become Americans
and to separate themselves from their own
lands' They won't consent, for it is the rule
among people of all. nations, that each one
fosters his love for his native land.
Again, what native Hawaiian would vote to
have his loved land annexed to another country?
Again, in what part of the world has Amer
lea been known to annex territory unjustly,
without paying for it with cash2 And TO what
place has she reached out her hands to take
lands lying at distance from her boundaries
that are far away from her?
We think that if any people have talked of
annexation, they have talked of it in despair Of
getting good cabinet ministers. For both the
wise and the foolish know that Gibsons cabinet
is not Of one voice, and his past history in ia-
waii is so notorious that his grandchildren can
not fail to hear it, To elevate such man as
that, will be the means of bringing the nation
into contempt.
THE TWO MISGUIDED CABINET MINISTERS!
On the goth of May last, Mr.. Gibson was
appointed Premier Of the Cabinet that is now
splitting up into factions the mind Of the nation,
not alone in private life but also in open day
light, not alone among foreigners but still more
among the Hawaiians themselves whose is the
land and whose welfare ought to be sought
before that of Others.
Before taking the office of Minister of For
egn affairs, he took the oath to preserve the
constitution and laws of the land, and ''to per-
form his duties without corruption" But on
the 23d of May, of his own notion, he APP
pointed new Board of Health, and published
the names of the members of that Board in the
newspapers without right or authority SO to do,
thus introducing irregularity, in opposition to
his oath of Office, because these are the words
of the law: "There shall be appointed by the
King in privy council Board of Health for
the Kingdom, consisting of five members, not
less than three of whom shall be members OF
the Priy Council one Of whom shall be the
President of the Board. They shall serve with
out pay during the Kings pleasure From
this, the Hawaiian people, to whom the land
belongs, who had the first right in this fine
country, can see that he has led them wrongly,
either from ignorance or out Of pure rascality.
But after few weeks after this announcement
some one showed him the ignorance and lack oil
authority with which he had acted, and on that
account he ought to have his mistake rectifed
but he opened his mouth to beg that his wrong
doing and blind misguidance be condoned and
his action be confirmed.
Last Monday, the Clerk of the Foreign
Office, in obedience 10 the command of Mr.
Gibson, notified US that hereafter the /ae dim
was not to publish the official notices of hi
department. BY this last act he has entere,
into league with that one whom the membc
for North Kona called the ''black heart" an,
it has become quite plain that they both hav
entered that cabal Of secret plotters.
II these corrupt and rascally acts are care
: fully scrutinized il will be seen that our sore
= eyed Minister the Premier Gibson, and hi
appendape Bush. cannot survive
