I'he poor liullelin, havint?receiv-i e i through one of its stock-holders p. nd former editor something subfrom theQueen, ns an act of i: ;ice and loving ,kindnef!P, atld hopihg for more favors, * (whieh by the wny eome from the puhlie purse) | 1 *. us for being more truthful courteous;, and begs us to apologise to our most gracious Li« lni Regina. We sympathise with the editor of ihe Bulletin, who seems to feel the positiōn of that jourr»al as court jester, and is desirous that we Bhould join him and thns form a pair of buffoons. Thank you, Mr. Editor, we have seen one aovereign <>f Hawaii nei made a sacrifice to B«eh sycophancy a<* occasionally crops out in the columns of our eontemporary the Bulletin. We' j>refer to be truthtul and to point o'?t the vanities and follies of thie J*< i in plain terms for her good, in-<*'-ad of screening them for the kr of gaining the sovereign's favor. 'A'e are not after the Beagle's or the Boodler's st\ T le of sēcuring the sovereign ? s favor. Our loyalt ylies ? an opposite direction. i>an, no doubt, means well, but is not posted. with the ways of royand thus ignorantly talks bout one thing in palliation of an>ther, and one of the grossest acts that one ean commit against God l man—to turn a deaf dear to cry of distress t to assist the iaidren of the poor demented formeteller } ' who had been afaithful end and had held up the horoe- • of the future, m an encouragiiig manner to herwhorefusedalms :o her children. We hope the Bulletin, will do us tfiejustice, and apologise in amanly .v.iy,, for we take the stand for the .nor without respect of persons.
