CONSTITUTION OF 1852.
Four of the Foreign-born Members al
the Convention Still Living.

the Convention sim Living.
EDITOR STAR: In your paper of Mon
day. May 2Sth, you state "that now for
the first time the people Of Hawaii will
have voice in determining the funda-
mental law Of the islands"
This statement is perhaps not quite
correct. The Constitution of 1852 was
made by the king, the mobiles and rep
rcsentatives OF the people in legislative
council assembled, June II, 1852.
The real maker and spirit OF that con-
stitution was New England man, Chief
Justice Lee, than whom no ADLER or
more free spirited man ever landed on
these Islands.
This constitution was torn up by
Kamehameha the Fifth against the en-
ergetic protest OF the members OF con-
vention held at Honolulu in 1864, just
thirty years ago. OF the foreign born
members OF that convention there are
still four living, one OF whom was the
only one who sided with the King.
