The closing words of one of

Leave that ballot alone. It's
hot"
The almost unanimous feeling
amongst the Natives around here
is to have nothing at all to do
with the election of Delegates to
the Constitutional Convention
and not to take the oath.
There is a split in the Wailukn
(D Union Party. The bone of
Contention seems to be the Asia
tic plank in their platform. At
the meeting of the Annexation
| Club, the matter came to vote
and tie Asiatie plank 1ras roted
out. by vote of II to r. The
leaders of the minority were S.
f. Chillingworth. Geo. Hons and
". A. Mckay. The majority was
lead by Kalua, G. Armstrong and
D. L Meyer. A very heated dis
cussion followed. And the great
politicians haven't cooled yet
On the evening of the 4th inst.
both parties met at the Court
House for the purpose of holding
meetings. The majority wing had
decided to meet at the Court
House on April 4th. At P. NJ.
of the same day Geo. Hons posted
notices calling for a meeting of
the American League at the same
place.
The Kalua party got there first
and held the fort despite the
warlike attitude of Sheriff Chill
lingworth and his followers. 1t
is said that Sheriff Chiilingworth
would have been pitched out of
the window by certain excitable
court official, had they not given
way.
After considerable pickering
the disgruntled minority went to
Bailey's Hall and held their
meeting there, leaving Kalua's
party masters of the situation,
and in possession of the Court
House.
The attempt to bulldoze the
natives into registering is growing
bolder and bolder. Sheriff Chill
lingworth has notified the Depu-
ty-Sheriff in Makawao to register
or take the consequences. The
deputy refused point blank.
Another p.g. official at Waibee
has been trying to bulldoze the
natives there into registering and
taking the oath. He has even
gone so far as to threaten them
with being shot down | ke dogs
without tags on, should they re-
fuse to register. 4 Hawaiian
present threatened to hammer the
stuffing out OF him if he did not
shut up. He shut up.
Mr.. John Richardson has left
for a tour through Kahakuloa,
Honokohau, and Kaanapaii, for
Lahaina. where lie and William
White will address The Hawai-
ians. The natives and most of
the foreigners viii have nothing
to do with the convention, nor do
they propose to have a eonstitu-
ton mined down their throats
without havirg it suhm tied to
the people. All are anxious to
hear what the people in Honolulu
are doing. The gener belief is
that the Royalists there have
thrown up the sponge or gone to
sleep The men who will be sent
TO that aborsive farce OF a con-
venticn will most likely lie FL. P.
Baldwin. old Horner of Lahaina.
schoolmaster Townsend, and per-
haps Kanaka. The Portuguese
are sbstaining from registering
in spite of the plantation iniluen-
ces. Hama is the only district
