We have before now stated the opinion Of
one OF the independent members Of the last
legislature, who was pure Hawaiian, trus-
ted alike by his own race and by the foreign
crs, by reason OF his truth and honesty. This
man man frankly stated his opinion that
the arguments Of the representative would
not be heard in the House Of Representa-
tives. Said he, il amounts TO the same whether
legislators are chosen OF not. The represen-
iatives have no voice in that house, said
he The votes are all decided upon before

il is a waste OF time for members to discuss
the questions that are brought up before the

Boston, the cradle OF liberty, | feel it my duty
to express to you my hearty approval Of the
sentiments expressed at the memorable dinner
OF the a4th inst, given in honor of General

the hall seemed to undergo successive transfer

that foreigners degenerate in tropical climate;
that it needs the stern, .bracing air Of northern
winter to sustain their moral manhood. The
reading Of those speeches at the American din

displayed ON that occasion, must convince every
reasonable man that We have a right 10 main
