vances a form of government, with a code of laws dreamed after those of western nations. was established and the Sandwich Islands were recognised and received as a civilized
Christan power.
That the success of Missionary labour in these Islands exceeds that of any body of their brethren who may have been engaged in a similar work amont other savage races. 15, generally admitted. Their success. how ever, has by no means beon equal to what they assert, and doubtless believe, though it far ex- coeds the admissions of their detractors, who in many instances shocked by the intolerance and even secular feelings of the labourer, either over- looks his works entirely, or views them through a false medium. It is from these causes that the most opposite and irreconcilable statements have been put forward to the world on the one handl by men whose religions profession, in- elines people to believe them, and on the other hand by those whose honour, integrity and regard for truth, are so well established, that we can- not will refuse credence to their assertions. Truth may be in the medium of the exaggera tions of the first party and the prejudices of the second-the first is too boastfull-the second too hasty in forming an opinion from existing failings, without looking back to the state of society in the Islands previous to the arrival of the Missionaries.
That the Sandwich Islands from their geo. graphical position are destined to become a point of importance cannot be questioned; and that it is the interest of the great maritime" and commercial powers to preserve their in- dependence is undeniable. From the early labours of the American Missionarios-the contiguity of the Islands to the American con- tinent, their being the grand rendezvous of the hundreds of American whale ships who follow their hardy pursuits in the northern and southern Pacific and their commercial connection with Boston and other trading cities of the Union the Sandwich Islands have naturally assumed an American character, and American in fluence, and American interest have become paramount to all others. Before another
geno- rator passes the present condition of the is lands will undergo an essential change, and the supreme power of the government be placed in the hands of the Anglo Saxon race.
In reply, Mr. Abeil wrote as below :
Honolulu, 21 October, 1845. MY DEAR SM-Your note has just been recei- ed. The man Hughes was entitled to his discharge from the "Callfornia” because he had not been legally shipped before an American Consul, and therefore, at his request, I discharged him, advising him, however, to go home in the ship, where his
voyago would be worth twice what it here. Captain Lawrence was incensed at the man's leav ing hìm, averring that he had agreed to go to the United States. But of that there was not proper evidence, and so he was discharged, The captain refused to pay him has oil unless he would go home, notwithstanding my advice to him that tho man could recover the amount, with interest, from the owners, when he reached the United States, and could also make him (the captain) pay dana.. ges for the detention of his wagos. He still refused to pay, and I have only to recommend the max to his legal remedy in the United States. It did not of the laws here, but I see no reason why he should occur to me at the time that he might avail himself not, and I am not sorry that he has taken the stop.
I think him undoubtedly entitled to such share as may have been agreed on with the captain; and I may add, for your information, that if there was no such agreement or if it should be denied, that the laws of the United States entitle the man to the highest rate of wages paid to any man in his station in the ship, and such rate he would receive were he to sue in any court in the United States,
I thank you for your courtesy in addressing me on the subject, and assure you that, had I had the power to enforce it, the man should have been paid off here.
He has taken the right course however, and will, I doubt not be justly dealt with..
Vory truly yours,
ALEX. G`ABELL.
Lorrin Andrews, Esq, Judge of Oahu..

Influenced by the opinion of Mr Abell, the Judge summoned Captain Lawrence of the Ch. lifornia to appear and show cause why he should not pay the man his wages,

The civil power being thus sot at defiance, the plaintiff withdrew his demand, and the

It appears that Mr Abell was unt satisfied ;- and in the face of his own letter to the Judgo dated the 21st of October, ho addresses the Governor in the following strain on the 6th November :---
The existing government, as may readily he believed, is one but little respocted by the foreigners resident upon these Islands, or by the occasional visitors. The King has appointed foreigners to the principal offices of the Ex- ecutive, but it appears that the Gentlemen who hold these appointments, are but badly qualified for them, and in their intercourse with the Consular Agents of foreign powers, Sir John Davis embarked in the Fulture on Thurs: they allow themselves to be bullied and treated
