The memorial OF the Hawaiian Patrio.
tic League says:
MEMORIAL.
"Last january a political crime was
committed-not only against tho lcgiti-
mate sovereign Of the Hawaiian king.
dom-but against the whole Hawaiian
nation, a nation which for tho past
sixty years, had enjoyed free and hapoy
constitutional self.goyernment. This
was done by Coup de main" Of United
States Minister Stevens, in collision
with q cabal OF conspirators, mainly
j faithloss sons OF missionaries and local
politicians nngered BY continuous polit.
ical defeat, who. rs revenge for being
hopeless minority in tho country, re.
solved to rule or ruin through foreign
4 help"
Commenting on the landing Of United
States troops the memorial continues
Tho queen and her government,
realizing tho situation. but unwilling to
make war with the United States forces
and to occasion useless bloodshed
among the innocent Hawaiians, Welded
under protest TO the superior force and
moral power OF the United States, aud
while waiting for the result Of her ap-
peal, with full confidence in tho Ameri-
can honor, the queen requested all her
loyal subjects TO remain absolutely
Z quiet and passive, and TO submit with
patience TO all the insults that have
been since heaped upon both tho queen
and the people by the usurping govern.
ment.
"The necessity OF this attitude of alb
soluto inactivity on the part Of the
Hawaiin people. was further endorsed
and emphasized by Commissioner
Blount, so that, il the Hawaiians have
/ held their peace in q manner that will
vindicate their character as law-abiding
citizens, yet it cannot and must not be
construed as evidence that they arc
apathetic or indifferent, or ready to
y acquiesce in the wrong aud bow to the
usurpers.
"Had it not been for the request OF
I our sovereign there would doubtless
4 have been tremendous uprising
throughout the islands to crush the
usurpers; but it would have been sad
{ tale OF blood and destruction, which,
from tho first, it was sought to avoid
/ il possible.
y WANT THE QUEEN RESTORED.
"The advent oil Mr.. Blount as special
commissioner was hailed with satisfac.
ton by both contending factions. His
Il course in Hawaii was marked by dig.
3 nifty, courtesy and discretion that were
r highly creditable to his country and
y gained for him at the time, the respect
and confidence Of all classes. His re.
port to the President has been
characterized by tho great impartiality
4 and absolute respect for truth, SO that
2 this patriotic league have fully endorsed
it, and can solemnly testify to its
yeracity and reliability"
The memorialists claim their case ia a
question OF right and equity, and that
]. the objection to republic restoring n
I monarchy is not well founded. The
spaper closes as follows:
IS Therefore, the HaHaiians, as q ma.
Z ton, appeal for Justice and redress TO
1.-The impartiality OF the American ma.
ton, in whose honor, integrity and love
Of fair play We have so long and so pa.
+ tiently trusted. As peaceful and law.
A. abiding citizens. ever ready to submit to

the native race, our own government, in
the person OF Queen Lilioukalani, and
be restored to US with o new coustitu.
