From tbe Diilf of Mar. 31st. Haimiiane h»ve f<>r a long time j p»§t been coovinced of ihe regard in whieh they irere held by the j mineionan' annexation;st cliqae, i and now tbey have documentary i evidence of it in the editoriaI * utteranoes of ihe eohemeral sheet whieh haa eprung into berng a oouple of days ag > from the efforte of a few disgrutitled medical gen- j tlemen who cou1du't g-t the Ha- : waiiane to take their phystc in j any olher way. so they now desire to gtve it to them in daily dose* of ! clap-trap diluted with half eon-' cealed sneering contempt. In ils firet issue, this apology for a newspaper states concerning Uawaiians uu follows : “He rs the ! mental and mr.ral equal. to say the least of him,of theenfranchised negro.” and further iu the eame article proceeds to oompare them wilh murderous and sav»ge In- , diane Jcc., Ae. All the while en- ; deavoring for polilieal purposea to j draw a veil over their true eenliments as to their attainments and capacity for 8eIf-governmeut, while telling them. they ranst wait for a renewal of thal hbertv whieh thev have enjoyed peaceably and exercised judiciou»ly forover fifty years, because “the Oriental ieeue,” that ie the Ohinaman and the Jap. are not yet fitted to exercise the eleetoral franchise. In the same iaaue Dr. McGrew who ie announced ae its editor-in-chief seta hie seal to hie own infamy by publicly deBcribing the untruthful slanderouB vi!ificationp of the Quoen. the late King, and the rest of the Koyal Family and the Hawaiian race written by that Sraith, differentiated frotu the others by the prefix Walter G., (who ie now Mnnaging editor of thie journalietic apology) ae from “au annexationiet wht>se pen has already done the eauee accrptnhlr eervice.” If to lie and foully elander a woman and a widow be to render the eauee of annexation “aeeeplable” eervice in Dr. McOrew’B eyee, thon wo are glad to have discovered that gentleman’e charactor. We ehall not at thie time discuee his motives for desiring annexation, nor the valuable services he has rendered his native country in times p«st, but we shall put on record our opinion that any man who considers that to slander a woman ie aeeeplahle, is not worthy the name of man aod that not oven hie gray haire, whieh sbould h«ve broupht him wisdom »nd charity, but have not, canuot be invoked to protect him from the o>nsequenoes of his ill-advised oonfe§sion of his secret character. We p«ss over the won!d-be witty allueioue cf the altompted humoriet on the question of “pigs in poliiie»,” mereiy remarging that if a hog ehould be wanted the committee may now know where to find one, whieh is no doubt purchaseble at a low price. We ahall oonclude our excerpta with th« fullowing infamous «ttack on Oommiwioim Blount. “It (the 8tar) knowa hie reoords and his arriroonmti at home, To whom • mm lban to a man who haa tak«n pait in tbe oonliiei heiwwn I — ■' . « I ln ooaW ih*

Mr Henry N. Castle is the 1 editor of the P. C. Advertiser. As ■ l such be must consider himaelf; surrounded by a prutecting divin- j itv; he persiets at least in the most c >wardly manner in insulting • the ladiee forming the Patriotic j ! League wh‘> are jnstly filled wilh indignation over the behaviour of! this oonlemplihle cur. Yesterday he telepboned to Mrs. F. W. Mae- j farlane the President of the League i asking her if he could be permit- ; ted to be preaent al the meeting ; he!d in the afternoon. He was answered in the negative, but presented bimself nevertheless at the j Arion Hall where he was refused : admitlance. He returned a second time and was again shown tbe door. after having acted in an insultmg manner to»ards the Iady who performed the disagreeable \ oflice of checking his impertinence. The vulgar and insulting report whieh he prints this morning in h:s i>aj»er is weil in accord with his lowbred and ungentlemanly behaviour of yesterday. If Mr. Henry N. Castle should annoy the Women’a Patriotic Ltague again, he will either be given into the custody of a j>u]ice-officer or the ladies will eall upou their male relations for protection. and then Mr. Henrv N. Ca«tle will hear or ; feel something drop. Over two thousand j>eople were present Iast night on Palaee txjuare where a meeting was held by the Patriotic League Messr8. J. A. Cummins. Nawahi and Bush addressed the enthusiastic assembly and a set of strong and emphatic resolutions were adopted aud are to be presented to Commissioner Blount to-morrow by a committee consisting of thefollowing representative Hawaiian gentlemen: J. Nawahi, J. A. Cummins, J. K. Kaunamano, J. E. Bush, J. K. Kaulia, J. L. Kaulukou, Albert K. Kunuiakea, J. M. Kaneakua, J. K. Kahai, F. S. Keiki, R. Hoapili Baker, J. S. Kekukahiko, A. K. Palekaluhi, Enoka Johnson, H. Swinton, D. W. Pua, L. W. P. Kanealii. The Advertiser reporter saw on!y two hundred voters at the meeting on Palaee Square last night. This seems very bopefui for the cause of the loyal Hawaiiana, heeauee there ean be no reason now for the Annexation Club to oppose or fear the taking of a ballot. As the majority of the Oahu voters have signed the annexation roll according lo the Star, and the Patriotic League ouly ean scrape 200 voters together —accordiug to tbe Advertiser ihe . resnlt uf a halloi must show eo strougly in favor of annexatioo aa to leave no other eonne for the Royalists than lo §ubmit to the wiah of ihie great m«jority, aod join in the reqoeet for annexatioo.

Many Ameneana believe that the earth and the fullness thereof is theirs. It is this belief that has brought about the present Hawaiian crisis. The American residents of the little kingdom are not content with having all the rights that they or any other foreigners cou!djustly elaim; they want to j "ruu things;” they think that they are the anointed of the universe and th it into their pockets must flow every stream of wealth. And knowing that might may make right for a while in the middle of the Pacific oeean they have used an American minister and an American war ship to intimidate a weak people and depose a defenselees but rightful ruler. Every dispatch that comes in regard to the Hawaiian matter confirms the first suspicion that the so-called crisis was the outeome of a set of bounty-grabbers made brave by lbe presence of Amenean ,marines whose eommander was willing to be the tool of greedy men. We are assured that “the action of the American minister may have prevented terrible scenes of bloodahed.” There is little doubt that tbe absence of the present American minister and of tbe bullying commander of the Boston would have prevented a most cowardly poliiieal crime. Amenean righte in Hawaii are limited to seeing tha( no otber nation takes posse8sion ’of the islands, to insisting tbat those islands remain neatral. There our rights end. The American res;dents of the »tands have no political rights so far as bringing about furcible annexation is eoncerned. It was to be expected that certain jingo organs and stetMmen would look npon the present randdie w a u glorious opportanity to seire” the islands. Seising what we bave no right to is not an American poimy nor the polioy of any lepaŪieu gureroment. We do not want ihoee uiands; «e have no use <br them.
