Christians lo dn their dirty w..rk, the men who are using him as their tol for the production of the iinpiirity and f >ulness of their minds shou!d be made to feel that for them this coiumunity has only contempt and loathmg, and that, in spite <1 their j>retenses, they heve forfeited the right in the future t<> be considered gentlemen or iadies, or even honest men and women, cr any thing e!se but hatchers of foul obscenities. It is fortunate fur them and their hired ac.ribbler that the main feature in the Hawaiian charaeter is intense good-nature, else they might regret the day when they instig ited and cairied out their villainous slanderiiigv.>f the Hawaiian Queen and the r >yal famiiy. We puhliah elsewhere one oftheletters receive<l relating to this matter. One je'Culiar feature of our revolulion was strongly ir.sisted ou by the l’rovisioual Government’s eommissioners in America, as being a chief groundf rsuj.j>ortl>y the.\meriean Government i. e. that it was started, upheld, organized. and oontrolled by 115.000,000 of Ameriean j>roperty out <>f #30,000,0<XL Judging from recent events, and als<> those of whieh the shadows now loom on the olheial horizon, whatever it raay have heen started and organixed by. it is now. and has b**en f >r some time past. <>rganized and controlled by men wh<>se title to tbe name either of American or pr<«perty owner is remaricably like that >f Pat’s lrish haeon, whieh waa so, because the j>ig from whieh it eame was bred in Berkshire, farrowe»l in L»ndon. fed in Brummage;u and killed at Liverjxx>l. Th<se wealthy (?) Americans [?] who' wouid iu anv other c<>untry, but especially in Amenea. be called lxx>dlers and otfice-seekers, but fiere are. se!f-styled, palriots and saviors of their country, have determined on making a elean aweep of the oll'K'es n<>t yet appropriated by members of their gang and to give the holders fair [?1 warning have j>ut up us l>efore aome hithert«' unkuown p<>iitical whelp to do the barking whioh their own ignoble selves dare not,for verv shame's sake. do against the men wh.>se salt they have eaten and whose bread they have shared. This Hitchfield is so ntterly unknown that even the omnisoienee of H*ir-baked Hen-nery has beeu unahle u> divine who he is or where he lives. If he has any tangible existenoe he must have been so recentiy imjx>rted that he hasn t paid a dollar of taxes. probab!y not even for his permit to land «nd hasn’t even tinoe to heeome aequainted with tbe nationalities of the geutlemen whose lives and

occupations he so glibly and coolly dispoees of. However it is not he who should be blamed for this. Ii is the cowards who, under the uncongenial and i!l-adopted name of military her»es. Iong for the substautial r<-wards of glory and pr»wtrss in shooting at tbeir o.vu , ahadows and bayonelting unoffending hack-horses. These military braves [?] are so tired of ihe oeeupalion of counting cash and enterins items for gentlemen who do represent that Ameriean [?] j>r>.perty of Vvhich we hear so mueh that they desire to hand!e that of that Governmeat whieh they and their b<>sses have iso frequently and vehemently inj forme<.l us was h.inkmpl. Thev I never for one mumem dreara that there could be a d»ubt as to their fitness and experience oraquestion of their trustworthiness and bonesty. f»r ihe places they so l»ng to fill. They ne ver dream that their advent into othce would cause confusion in busiuess and distmst in the public raind. They never seem to imagiue that the puhlie prefers to do biisiness with an <>Id and tried servant rather than a new b»odle-seeking adventurer —with an bl<l friend rather than a new aoquaintance. Tuey seein to imagine that they have only to get some unknown Jackass to bray in puhlie and they will be able to hide their self-seek-ing under the eloak of patriotism and party honor. Faugh! The thought makes us sick that honest meu, such as we are willing to believe certain members of the P. G.’s Councils to be, have not onlv to tolerate the fact that such J » • men form their support, but even have to bow down to their greedy desires and find a eloak [of as mneh feasibility and decency as they ean muster up] to oouoeal the naked nefar'ousness of their officegrabbing proclivities. Thank Go<i, th»ugh. every one in the community is not so bad as the publication of these views by the Morning Scavenger would seem to imply. Tne cry of indignation at the greedy spoi!smen who would turn ont amongst otbers an unconscious sick man who has never tailed in his duty and done more to keep up the country’s credit that any <>ther man, is heard everv wherefn>m the straitest-laced missionary to the most ardent annexationist. All unite in damning the greed of those who, rather than sacrifice a ehanee for spoi I, have created a fe<*liiig of the most intense and widespread indignation at the evil end to whieh the so-oalled uprising in favor of free and equal governraent has been put. As Hamlet says : **To what base uses we may eome at last ! H»r.itio.” But who shali paint the state of mind of thst property-owning gentleraan, Mr. W. C. Wilder. now that he sees the consequences of his brainless remark at the annex.ation 'cattle round-up’’ on Toesd.iy n'ght. ”Every government official sbould sign the anneialion roll or leave the service.” Xever remark&ble for brilliancy Mr. Wilder has always been supposed to have had at least good business horse-«ense. Xow probably he wonders whether running the ship of st*te is as easy as steering an interisland steamer or falling off a log of luraber. The number of private and busiuess enemiea he has raised up by that single pieee of platform

claptrap will keep him counting for many year< in the v*in hope of nnHin? where hi- lirm’; profits have di?.ippeared to.
