Kamehameha dynasty was extinct !;
that it was right for Hawaiians 10
revere their true chiefs but that
the kalakaua branch did not pos
sess chief blood and were placed in
power BY the foreigners against
the wish Of the natives, who
revolted against his election, and
were only quoted by force Of
foreign bayonets.
