G(h»d P. G. Gr! B. Epit.ir Holomla: ■Sir: —For a plain unvirnished and unraitigited mis-stateiuent of faots coraiuend us to the article in the P. 0. A. «f the 2Sth inst headed “A Few Facts.” The raore correct hea«Iing would have been **A Few Lies,’'f<>r the re«son that to suppress any part of facts or to im;igine motives fur the sake of distorting facls as they actually are is an intent to decei tv. And now f >r a like retro3pection | history, there is a classin this eommunity. whom, for sake of argument I shall eall not An\erirans. Hawaiian poliliea stigmatized this class as Missionaries. I object to this name, because it is a slur on Ihiwe good atid nohle men who were by force of their beautiful characters always tiken into the conncils «»f the ciiiefs. My opinion 6f an Amenean is one who has a lofty love for the pricel«ss liberties centered in the one word “American.” He raay be American by birth or adoption, it matters iittle so longhis soul is irabued by the principles involved in , the above sh<>rt sentence. The in- ■ Anenee emanating from eueh principles will teacb him to live peaee- ! ably and quietly in any other country in whicbsoever his lot may be caat. lf he finds hiraself in another country >enjoying all the , privileges of citizenship,reasonabiy pnitected in making money, or aec«>rding to the vicissitude of trade losing it for that matter, those same infljeoces will always be hie anchor for good. Now, as regards lhose not Amer~ icans, they are not So, f«>r the rea- , 3011 that they have availed them- , selve8 by conspiracy of positions to whieh they were entitled by being true Americ:ms. F<>r instance, it was nothing ehort of conspiracv i whieh put the late King on the throne. While these same not Americans were in power, all went lovely as a marnage hell, but the p.->Dular vote chang«;d their position and again these same »io( Ameeiean* resort to conspiracy. and invariably you find the same persons who, although boasting and calling themselve9 Americans are not as mueh ao as a well bred native. Now, right here, I challenge any one of them to prove conclusively that he ever was ooe dollar woree off under some of the woret extravagances of the late Kalakaua than in any of hia euppo«ed palmiest day8. The vicissitude9 of lrade are merely a que9lioa of 9upply aud demaod aud have nothing to do with gov«rnmenta. Ii you have got goods whieh nobody wants yon have made a bad 8( eeulalioo.

To sbow the apinl whieh i 5eetned to *ctuate all lheir doings tfae writer of this will never forget the remarks lo hini in the Palaee grounds at theUme Princess j Likelike was being carricd dead out of the Palaee.

The writer re- , marked, ‘ that is treason.” and he shrigged bis shoulders. nati\ej fashion whieh meant, “l »ke it as you like.” Now. “these be thy Gods.
