CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do uot hold oun>elvea respousible for the « pinionh or the utteren eee of our (X)m>>pondents.) Editor Holomoa. The preseut situation, whioh we. the Native Hawaiians, justly style as the “Dark Agea of Hawaii” will ever remain indelible to rmr mt*raories, and never froiu the facē of histoiy or of the nniverse shall it be etfaced. It is an era marked by unconstitutioual violations and bv the fraud usnrpation of onr conutn' under a mouaiehial form of government at the t;me ot intervention. We were coutente<i and happy under tlie reigu of the Alii9 from Ka- : mehameha I. to tbe present ; dcthroned Qneen Liliuokalani. Never during that long duration has there l>eeu an act of tyranny t as grave and great as the crisis that haa bef«llen us. Our Queen was dethrone<f not by the rightful mheritants of the laud. but , bv a foreign eolony of dishonest , adventurers who eame here so they might preach aud teach the r Hawaiians on Snudays and in their varioue» missionary gather-

Tbe missionaries as a sect are au abomiuation to us the Hawaiiana; tbey deprived us of oor libertiea 1 and r gbt« aud self-govemmenl; aod woret of all they robbed os. of oar conntry by the misase of the Boston marines in obedieoce to the command of Stevens. Minister J. L. Stevens is at preseut basy makiog known to the aoiverse barefaced falsehoods: it will only serve to strengthen ! our caose as “Honestv ean alone | be vindicated.' Young Hawaiian. Editor Holomua: In the * Advertiser of Jan. 2, | we ,find the following ‘ The band boys cannot go to the Fair ! becaase thev have an engagement to play the Republic oot and the Mouarchv in. Mr ' Advertiser —I will leave it to old | Sereno bimself. it this is not tfae | first truth you have stagger*d on dnring the last year will not tempt tbe ouly Hawaiian band from these sbores at the fire8ent time as it is boand to be hei-e to play at the grand jubilee, whieh will be held ou the day that Qneen Lilinokalani again ascends the Hawaiian Throne. The baud boys have plentv of true friends who admire their oourage in sacrificing their positions, in order to remain true to their Queen and countr3-. The prayers that have no doubt been ofi'ered by the “saintly crew.” that the baud would have been stnrved into submission long before this, have ntterly failed. Fnrthermore the name of L. A. Thurstou is abhorred by all true 1 Hawaiians, and will he for all | time to eome. Brighter days are i da\vning for the boys, and dar1 ker days for their enemieā. U is i strange but true - that Hie woret euemies tbe Hawaiiana have todav, are those whose fathers owed everything of this world’s goods, down to the very salt they ate, directly to the Hawaiians. Aud uow the ungrateful ofispring i of those missionary fathers, are j workiug tOoth aud uail to nib their old benofactovs of their all , —their country. Regarding the missionaries, we woulil eull the attention of all Hawaiians to the following from Shakespeare. “Trust uone! They re villaius. vipers; damned withont rederaptiou! Who blnsh not at actions blacker tUau the night, and shnn uo conrse to keep them from the light.
