Avowed and active cee|sioniBts and annexationist< weie presented to tlieKing; and llis refusnl to <;ive to uueh j men a plaee in the eonneile of tlie nation \vas one | wcighty reason for ihe sudden eollapse of tlie! Ministers in respeet to their Pearl līarbor eeheme. The above appointments of Nobles mighf a&>rd them 'o.ne-, or at the mosc only two votes in favor of their scheme of eession, whereas their 44 slate * ' of Nobles would have insured them a majōrity in the Legislature.

Witli the ballot in their hands and aeting peaeab|y, they are yet masters of Ilawaii, and no po\ver of tho \vorld will wish to disturb I them in the phieeful enjoyment of their polilieal, j supremaoy in ihis Arehipclago.
