We Are Quoted.

■ And like ull we are, perhap*, moro es-j j teemed abroad tlian at home. In Austra!ia, our' j moderate views on tbe subject of lepro3j are pub!pshed'witha view to disabuse the puhlie mind; ! tberc of unnecef&ary alarm, On the other sidc of' J tbe oeean, in. Oaliīomia, our viewß are ātnply \ quoted. The Si F. Dūily Examiner of Dee. 30, ! treats in its editprial of the " Nobles of Hawaii/' ! and sayB—" To the ears, especially of Americans, 1 ; ife sounds exceed|ngly ridiculous to speak of the jNobles of Ha\yaii. 11 But the Nuhou Hawaii, a; jjonrnal publishpd at Honolulu, mainly in 4he : native treats of these distinguished in- j | dividuals most seriously. It says there are few ! now in the homes of their ancestors, Tberc were onee many descendants of Umi, of Keawe, of I Kehekili, and df Kalanimoku, who represented • rcal power and' dignity amohg their race, but being strippcd df dominion and of Inherited eonI sequenco they liave faded away a!ong \vith the| extinguishment of the national spirit and tradi-! i tions of the isles." * * * << None but! i native subjects of llis Majesty are appropiiate as! ; Ilawaiian Nobles. Any foreigner whose elaiin on ' : the country is n>ercly. what he bas madc out of ii,' | should be an object of iidicule as a Nohkman (!) ' 'of llawaii. M (And so we say, that Ilawaiianl | Nobles should bc mainly recruited from the race > I of Hawaiian Chiefs, or in some cases, from fbr- ! eigners £lllied to Hawaiians, as the proper supporte j of a Hawaiian Tbrone.) | Again, tbat a;ble official journal of San Fran- ; eiaeo in treating of the u Policy of the Sandwich , islands," quotes ■ our language, saying— u the! I policy as procla|med in a leading newspaper pub- ■ lisbed there Is ap avowed maintenance of inde- . pendence, of seeking the combined guarantees of | ; all powers in of it, also to improve and! | enlarge the port of Honoluliu and to re'move! ' every restiiction to its frēedom;—and to pursue I i systematically, ; some scheme of immigration. > j Tbie course, it j is thought, will bripg strength' | and mcans, anc| set every interest of tbe country' i in the higbway oi progress." I . Thc A\ Y, Iknihl speaks of us (our Shepberd) ' las ,advepturous Virgmian sailor, who ' . planned au important scheme fbr colomzing! | Papua,' twenty years ago. (But we have not ! ; the honor to be|a Virginian, or a sailor. TTe are ! : only a voice in the wilderriess of the oeean, cryi ing outj awake, oh, isles, we would have you i hope fbr sometliing in this world as well as in 1 next, as ali wlute men do, and would bavc 1 ealvat lou to bcgiii here,) |
