Jsditor Ka Leo g IR : — The vi Mess9nger" is very •*vrlui' , because Mr. C. W._ Ash-i f< r t has seen the errorsof his ways,i r•. 'le full eonfession. has received > >lution v aiid is now m accom | with the sovereign people. His de- : tractors are not liaely to follow sucb i p.n excellent example; the flesh- - j ois of Hawaii are too *cleAr unto their souls, and C. W, A:vhford's a?> rtion of his manhood is not ■"Tifcely to have many iuiitators from f»mong the piratical huccanoering ■ea'ne:. who it is said, run the "Mes* - fr. C. W.

If one tnay judge by their voracious avar"c ousness they should hail frora tbe other side of Jordan, and if ihat eminent apostle Judas leeariot were living in our days they wGuld do him out of his best bargain bv going him one better; prettv specimens they are fco tbrow •.• )nes at a penitent political sinner, who has Recanted and declares honest inteations for the future.

By he way what an unholy allianee. Voter.
