A Split.

! From the arbitrary aud irregulnr coursed pursued by the self appointed President of the Hui Kalaiaina, it is not unlikely that there will be the secfssion of principal leading Hawaiians from the Association. This course is due to some nnderhanded influence, whichisendeavoring to split the Hawaiian4ind the Workingmen. It ie an easv matter to do eo, as the Hawaiian as well as the Mechanics' Union are sbowing a spirit cf disunit, the 6maller number endeavoring tocor-1 ral the larger. as was done iast elention, by whieh means the Ha waiian Party were niado useful to otbers and useless for theinselves. This eaupe and result has decided the lending Hawaiiana to brood no dictation or comproTnisefi in its efforts in the <*;oction oampaij?n. Thev dosirt\ in proportion to their oumber» and inlluenw, to do nght and to be treated right,

and will not to!erate any underhanded to be palmcd, off' on tbem. Thr*3- do not propose to be anv more a bridge to earry over a lot of carpet-baggers into tbe Legislatu're, and have then nse their and forn eombinations to work against the:r party and to forswear tneir pron.ises.

In to-day's issue a eall in Hawaiian 18 made by Hons. R. W. Wilcox, J. Nawahi and J. E. Bush, to the native people to meet them at of the īnternational League. This course, we know, is regretted by the parties who are making this eall, but they disclaim any other motives for doing so than th"at of preserving the fundamental principles of the National Hawaiian Party—freedom and equality v that they are impelled to thi3 coarse through the intrigues of others.

That the aim is, and has been, to whieh this rupture, caūse has been painfully evident lately. Those who bave bartered by their votes, priciples» pledges, and theirj party t are at work and are the real authors of this division. Having succeeeded in making them<selves unworthy of the confidenoe of the voters, by their past record, they yet hope to dbzen or two mon, representing the Executive Committies of the- Hui Kalaiaina and the Meehaniea' Union, to conforn to their views and aeeepi nominations from the f-ir future representatives and nobles.

With this object evidently in view, the Mechanics Union Executive Committee hav* proposed to the Hui Kaiaiaina Executive Comrriittee that they shou*ld meet. without a statement of the purpose of the meeting. To faeilitate matters the Hons. Wilc@x, Nawahi, Bush &,nd another member of the Hui Kalaiaina Executive Committee have }jeen asked to stay to one side for a time, by the unauthonzed will of the President of the Hui Kalaiaina, and by the same wiil Judge Hopkins, of the Poliee Court. is put in as Committee, thus making matters quite eaey and pleaSant for the wirepullers. This addition to the Committee, who never was a member of the Hui Kalaiaina. so that his se!ection and appointment is due to the same system that exist ed and was the cauk> of the martyr age. We have been living in expectation of the sitting up of such a system and a brief reinsiatement ot tbat same power and a modified repetition of what transpired under its authority, but we did not anticipate so sudden an appearance among us.

A8 freemen, and firraly believing in tbe equality of the human family, we protest against any and all underhanded work that strikes at our liberty and just rights, and we who have sig»ed a eall, for the raeeting of the Hawaiiana. aforementioned, are Batisfied that the natiyes at least are with us in their hearts.
