LITTLE HAWAII.

1 11 the 3. ). Hemhl we find the report of speci;il Comrais- j sioner Blount: frora tbis report it is clearly and most truthfnllv evident that it was not (he ])eople of Han'aii . but the Amenean Minister John L. Stevens who made a revolntion possible, and it is also satisfactorilv settled that the newlv created Provision- | al Governraent does not exist legallv; it owes its existonce entirely to the conspiring, eunning, and display of force by i Stevens. Mr. Wuudenberg assistant clerk of the Suprerae Court in Ha waii on exaraination before ; Mr. BIount, said: That perfect order and peaee prevailed at Honolula when the troops from tbe “Boston” were landed; the citizens were astonished at thi> landing of foreign troops and followed thera up to learn what the troublo was, and after having satisfied their curiosity they dispersed, some went unconcernedlv home, others to the Band concert. In snch a state of mind, in such a meek and good natnred raanuer has never before a j>eople tried to shake ott‘a yoke. Mr. Blouut s labors prove clearly to those who are not wilfally blind that the governraent was overthrown by Stevens. who, j as it appears, acted more in the character of the Czar of Kussia [ than as the represeutative of the L r nited States of Arnerica. aud as : to whether Stevens in his undertaking was only a fanatical p irtisan or a paid scoundrel we shali not inquire into that fur the present. >»ext comes -lohu H. Soper. a citizen of the l’niteil States who could be persuadetl to accept Command of the revolntion : sts ! onbj after he luul the assurance that Mr. Steiytu* wouLl su/r/xtrt the rei'olution. Without such assistance of the U. S. forces

"vs Mr. Wundenberg! the revoloti n would not have occurred. ani that sboold an attempt bave be< n made it would certainlv have resnlted iu the entire destrnction of the revolutionists ihat these stateraent> are not co!ored by party feelings is evi- , deuced by verification of S. M. | Damon, the \ iee President of tbe i Advisory Council of tbe Provi- ! sional Government. It is, witbout a doubt, conformI % I ing to republican principles and | in hartnony with tbe tnulitions t of our people to help otber nations in their struggles for iu dependonce; but in this case we d ibt if Congress despite their sympatbies, would sanctinn the nse of our forces to sustain such pi ;noiples. Surely, it is not the i» -sion of our peoj)le to forc? < >,i others repub!ican institut.■, !is. sbould this be our policy, we wonhl invariably bo in hot water. M'ere we to establish a re:mblic in Hawaii bv reason of a like logic we wouhl be necessitated to free Can.»du from England, Cuba from Sj)aiu. und i Samoa from its King, etc. Harrison s administration was dnped by the fanatic Steveus. who was under the inhueuee of tbe Hawaiian Missionary elemeni. To us, it appears, that President Cievelaud is determined not to be bamboozled by the Missiou anes, and it may he said in hia honor and praise thai he saved oor land jrom e*tablii<hing a dangerous precedent.—(California Stuats Ze-tung.)
