Mk. Smith of tbe Sl*r, «hom a Virginia pat>er s»v3 will either be ■ haneed or President of the Hawaiian R»public is whining, because the Spreokels libel euit is going agiinst hiai. aud heeiuae the most prominent men io tuis t *wn are ealleil as w tnesses t» pr»»ve the Lct .»f tbe lihel. whieh he in the most unwarranted roanner eommille.’i .»n Claus Spreckels.

We are getting tired of Mr. Walter G Smith, and his feeble eff »rts to coutrol the efforts here. The day bns eome when not a single annexation club badge is seen m town, aml when everybody who has any interest here knowa that the garae of nnnexation is up. For 1200 a inonth. and a contract Mr. Smith —this cooley-shipped scribb!er—has undertaken *o write up t>nnex:ition, and write down all opposition, and more especially the Holomoa. We leave to obr readers tojudgeof the succes3 with whieh he has made in the campaign, and we advise Smith to go back to lower CaIifornia and be shot, ratber ihan to slay in Hawaii and be hanged—>>r be President.
