OUR THANKS.

For ours.elves t and we believe we aleo eeho th3 honest feelingß of the comminuty, that the Advertiser, or rather its editor is endeavoring to do what is.just and rig]?t in the advocasy of the 4l principle" of representative goverment and-in,;fevor of j good administration, and an impar- | tial executi©n of tlie laws; In its issue of yesterday morn!ng, the editor of the Advertiser, urge6 in the most candid and unmistakable language, what thn cabinet of the late O majority" is pledged to do. We know from our position as a member of the late k< majority" that the pnneiple advocated L by the j opposition has not been conceded bv her Majestv the Queen> This assertion oa our part is verified iti Wednesday's issue of the Court organ, the Bulletin. With this fact apparent, notwithstanding : tbe as--Bertions of certain members of . the Reform Party, we elaim is exaetly the true position as between the sovereign and the advocates of the peop 7 es rights and their elaim to a further rec®gnition of the spirit of the constitution and of the recognized principle of just and progreseive governmerit. In this belief, we feel that the honest effort of the Liberal Party to further the restoration of human rights and liberties, as ecibodied in the follwing language in tlie latter part of the first article of that Party's piatforqa, vizt u a government of the People, by the People, and for the People," a principle recognized and not clearly defined in the Constitution made by tie Refof ra Party as the law of the to-day—we reiterate has been wilfully sacrificed by the Reform party in its great eagerness to embrace the opportunity to help their own Belfißh ends, *t the supreme moment when firmness and self sacrifice would have undoubted!y secured the concesBion required, and settled future trouble. Thie concession onee secured, would settle the course be pursued in the selection of a Cabinet hetWter. But it appears. that Royalist and Reformers were not slncere in their eliorts to secure the interest of the People, and that the real Party who have had the welfare of the couutry at heart. has been and is, the Liberal (Progressive) Party, the partv of the People of all classed, —alike of the poor and rich, uf the bigh and low. \ VlVcongratulate Uie communi'v thai bave a friend in the Advert»#er in the advocacy of prineiple» that should govem and rcgulate our affairs. and we hope that we will have no canse t*> secede froai the Reforni journal. as we havehad from the le&Jers of the R»f6rm Party. \

OTīB^eONeBA3ffiLATIONB ; ; | We congratulate our iriends, that the martyr age, has ceaeed and the saints are onee more in possession of ths Kingdom. This period ōf a u time, times and a half of a # time" or as John the Revelato* saj s, a term cf twelve hundred and sixty | days, or, prophetic time, years, did i r»ot eome any too soon, as the paj tience of the saints were s©rely trjed j < and they were about to give up, when the tempter stepped in with | an offer to compromise and settle the little difiSculty in some amiea- | ble manner. The stram upon the saints was terrible, never having been called upon to dissemb!e for so4ong a period of and to act i ! the part iof "be ye wise as serpents i and harmless as dovee" with their t gentile friends, who were honestly i endeavoring to be engrafted among them, and, bv a short of circumcision, known<onlv tothe sect to whieh : Paul belonged before the scale fell frōm his eyes, become like them a Jen ol the strictest kind, or an Israelite indeed. But, aside from this little necessary digression, we do heartily eongratulate our frieijds of the worse ministry that tliey are indeed onee more īn poss<ission of the promised Canaan, the land of milkand honey that was to have been .their forefathers, except for theiniquitv eommitted by them for having worshipped thc golden calf in the wilderness of sin. We have not the least doubt. i now that Caleb and. Cuehman will ! lead the tribe into possession and that the philistines" will receive their just reward, In the meanwhile, tbe embryo Joshua, will visit the great Babylon, with the Hawaiian Band, to spread the glad tidings and show the oeople, tongues and natioos in a cyoloraoa]c manner an idea of the future inferno, the plaee where tbe devil and those who accept him as a political partner, to gain their ends, as was onee stated m our hearing.bv a political friend, will end thftir days together. We congratalate the saints, and more especially the country lhat Cushman is in possession of the treaBury,; a position onee held by another famous saint who was one of the twelve, and" whose passion for financiering and keepine up thc cpedit of the church, led him tose)l his master for thirty pieces of siiver. This peculiar characteristic makes this gentieman eminently fitted at the present time to manipulaU the fands of the state and we Bope at no cost to thechurch. We extend a cordial greeting to our co*laborer, Mark, whom we hope will endeavor to be as selfsacrilicing «s his name sake t th« ; apo€tle, and like the latter in hss little d!fferonce with the great gentile preacher, Paul (who w«R by the by a lawyer and had studied at the feet of Oamilel) he will be ahle to get along with his Oeeil. and from him inspirHtion druw the need ed les«onK of pwvarto:tti<vn aivd circuuuocut|ou t»ws!snry to avpid heing einhwiM with l'uele Saui, fv>r throwitiff stoncs at Stevens. Georgej who like hi* namesake C»eorge Wtifihn ; gU>»i. cannot lie, is therebv utititted for his po*itooo as

a mordeir of staū, and is sincerely to be pitied. v Gedrge, coald not tell a lie to save several of h.is uiinded brethrreri ihe #her day in caucuß. He is too hon<;st to be in the position thrust «p--on him by his bretheren. Except b«ingL tongue-tiedv he īb in e*ery other respiect better fitted ior a mi«ister of the church than of the state. We pity liim. and our grie< is only sofsened by the foreknowledge. thal he will resign his office, as soon as tbi purpose for whieh his leaders haye marked out for him is served. He is an unwillinp partk:ipant ii the role whieh he has to to accommodat€ his cousins and the eleet. He is meekiand mild, and like a sheep led to the slang'oter, he muriiiureth not. We sympathise with him now and will co!J£ratutatfi him hereaftei wh6nirelieved' of the cloalr "whieh j hiō consciousless hai | Jibrown*ovfrr him.
