Vcatu or Kit. Asa Thiiutox. Another t f theAmerican Pioneer MbKinrie to tbe HawaiianLslknlj Laa pa"&-- l away. Tbe Rer. Aa Tin r tonwsa born in FitchLurgb, Muii., Oct. 1--

Uj, 1767, anjdied in Honolulu, March 1 1th, ISGiS, at the advancedage of years. He graduated at Yale College, inNew Haven, In 1810, and at Andovcr TlieologicalSeminary, in 11'.. Among bia clu-mi- te at An-dov- er,

were Lis Associate, the Ilev. II. Bingham; theRer. Cynxs Byington, miasiouary to the ChoctawIndians; the Ilev. Jr. King, missionary to Atliens,Greece; the Rer. lr. Orville Dewey, and severalothers who have become distinguished for theirtalents as divines and scholars. Soon after leaving theSeminary, he was marYied to Miss Lucy Goodale, cfMarlborouzh. Mass.. who has ever been his faithfulwife and companion in all the toils, labors and priva--tions of missionary life. They embarked at Boston,Oct. 23d, 1819, with their missionary associates, onboard the brig Thaddeus, Capt. Blanchard. Beforesailing, Mr. Thurston made a farewell address inPark Street Church. Tbe vessel reached the islandsMarch CO, 1820, and Mr. and Mrs. Thurston wereassigned to the station at Kailua, Hawaii, the old

residence of the kings of the Islands. There they re-

sided for more than forty years, until, through in-

firmities of age, they removed to Honolulu. Here hebaa spent the few closing years of an eventful life,respected and estecired, honored aud beloved. As amissionary of the American Board of Missions, hehas ever labored with great usefulness and success.His knowledge of the native language aud characterwas most thorough. As V preacher, he was evermuch beloved by the native Hawaiian?, as he spoke

their language with great purity and idiomatic accu-

racy. In the early years of the mission, his laborsas a translator were arduous and successful In thisgreat work, he was associated with Bingham, Rich-

ards, Bishop, Green, Andrews, Dibble and others.It fell to his lot to translate parts of Genesis, Num-

bers, Deuteronomy, and the whole of Samuel, 2d ofKings, antt some other parts of the Bible. Hisfuneral was attended on Thursday last, by bothHawaiiaus and foreigners, from the 1st Church inHonolulu. The following was the order of exercises:Prayer, iu Hawaiian, by Rev. L. Smith; Address, inEuglisb, by Rev. E. Corwin; Address, iu Hawaiian,by Rer. L. II. Gulick; Prayer, in English, by Rev.S. C. Damon; Benediction, by Rev. II. Biugham, jr.The absence of the. Rev. Mr. Parker, Pastor of theChurch, was much regretted. If spice would allow,it would be easy to indulge in a train of remark, con-

trasting the present with the pait. When our de-

parted Father iu the Ministry arrived, all was onewide moral heathen waste. Idolatry was abolished,bat the work of reducing the language to a writtenform, and the endless toil of a missionary's life, wasto be entered upon. Now, bow changed the moralaspect ! The deceased leaves a widow aud threechMren and numerous grand children to mourn Lis I

loss. All who were acquainted with the life and I

labors of the deceased, are ready involuntarily to j

Arbival op tiIe Stonewall. The famous rebelram Stometcall arrived in our harbor yesterday enroute from New York to Yokohama, but last fromCallao. She is an iron plated vessel, built originallyin France for the rebels. On her arrival at Havanaabout the time the confederacy caved in, she was sur-- i

rendered to the Cajtain General of Cuba, who deliv-

ered her up to the United States Government. Abouta year ago she was sold to the Japanese government,and ia now oa her way out to Yokohama. Being thefirst iron clad war Teasel that has ever been in ourharbor, she will naturally 1 an object of curiosity tothe natives. In our nest we will give a full descrip-

tion of her, and here merely a-I- a lint of her officers :

Commander George liro.n, I'. 8, N.First Lieutenant J. 11. Ihilmia.Second Lieut. M. Jordan A. K. Lngthorae,M. Chancer.Chief EnyimttrC. A. Siena rt.1st. Anst. u Ja. Millstead.2d. 44 6. B. EllisXd. A. J. Potter.

The Sloieicall has two Japanese naval officers aspassengers, and will remain in port about two weeks.

A IIixt to Capitalists. Some of the passengersfrom Sydney who have touched here recently ontheir way to California, assure us that thousands ofthe Colonists wish to migrate to Cnliforuia, but thelack of suitable convej-anc-

e and the high pricescharged in sailing vessels prevent them. They saythat if a line ot steamers were established betweenSan Francisco and Sydney, and the price of passagereasonable, the vessels would return filled with passen-gers of the upper classes as well as laborers. AVe

have no doubt that is so, and that here is a good fieldopen for American enterprise. The distance betweenthe two ports is 0,48-- 3 miles, viz, lf80 from San Fran-cisco to Honolulu and 4,40o on to Sydney. It wouldbe necessary to touch at this port to coal, and proba-bly at some port between here and Sydney. Holla-day-'s

Honolulu steamship line extended on to Syd-

ney, leaving San Francisco every fifteen or twentydays, and employing four vessels, would find fullfreights and passengers both ways probably. It is alarge enterprise, but will 8on b required. The ne-

cessities of commerce Bcem to demand it, and thesooner established the better.

A Hawaiian 1rophet. The atcamer last week

brought from Hawaii a native who has made himselfquite conspicuous in Kor.a as a prophet, preachingto the natives that the end of the world is at hand,and they must lie ready. He has succeeded in secur-

ing some two hundred followers, who put full faithin his statements. The authorities took charge ofhim a year and a half ago and placed him in the In.sane Asylum; but he was there so quiet and inof-

fensive that he was released. On returning to Ha-

waii he commence I preaching again, and has createdso much excitement that it was thought best to re-

mand hiiu to the Asylum. When taken charge of, allhis followers, dressed in white robes and mounted on

horses, accvuij-anle- j him to the beach, where he ad-

dressed them, telling them to remain faithful, andthat the righteous had always been persecuted from

old times. Three or four of his disciples accompaniedhim to Honolulu, as witnesses to prove his sanity.He apicars to be a religious fanatic, who, aside from

his preaching, is harmless. Such fanatics are foundin older and more civilitcd countries, and it shouldnot be wondered at if they are occasionally met withhere.

Unsfemlt Haste If ar.y additional evidence werethe the

the

unfortunate state of affiirs in Washington. -- It is bad !

enough to have to publish this in the regular ;

and officials, adeeming to be friendly, tomake in publishing the account, shows,to the least, an anxiety to have it circulated assoon as possible, and before any later advices might

the unwelcome in it. Does any onesuppose that if the mail hail reported trouble in theBritish or French Cabinet, the Hawaiianwould have made sueh unseemly haste to spreadnews, before waiting to see were confirmed or :

not? Never. j

Letter froua WatahiaiKlaai.I Wauixuto.x, 1. C, Janury 20, 1S03.

II. h Wuitxsy, 1j., JUy dtar Sir.-- At theI urgt nt Solicitation cf Mr. llarrus, I came on to thi; citr ou the Ctb ult., and renuiiurxl bcre till the 20th,

wbeu t'ougrc: aJjourneU on account of the approach- -,

ing huliilii till the of January. I returned toWashington on the l"th instant. Siuce which I have

j letrn watching and awaiting the progress ofGeneral M't'cok and Mr. Harris have prvbabljr keptyour couiiiiunity in relation to their progressiu behalf of tbe iUviprweity Treaty; aud I have onlyto reunirk that we have had opposition enough uc--erft tnoufk to stimulate but not :o much of the oneor the other as to discourage or paralyze exertion.

As the telegrams will probal.'y have advised youof the vaccess "or failure of the treaty before thisreaches you, an opinion from me at this time willgive you no information, and therefore I prefer notto hazard one. 1 have generally spent my afternoonsin the galleries of the Senate, and it is only duringthe evenings that we have opportunities cf access toSenators. Occasionally we arc so fortunate as to find

t them at home in the moruine, but not after. Beforethe session, and during my visit down East, I was sofortunate as to secure the friendly regard of one ofour Senators, and since my arrival in this city, he

i has expressed himself very cordial to the treaty, andwill aid its passage should he find my statements correctwhen the subject comes hiiu. I have not been so

fortunate with his colleague, who is now the only oppo-

nent whom we fear.as he is potent in the Senate. Could

we have secured bis support, or neutrality, ineither case the treaty would have been adopted, incommittee, with not more than tuo or three dissentingSenators.

The papers will probably have informed you thatduring the late fall elections, the Republicans lostheavily in two or three States. The reaction wascaused by the apprehension of negro supremacy inthe reconstructed States of the South. At the com-

mencement of the present session of Congress, theDemocratic party jubilant the of theRadicals, aud appeared very sanguine that theywould triumph in the next Presidential election. Butfor the last four weeks the party opposed to Congress

has been waning, and the congressional party gain-

ing strength. The latter had remained on the de-

fensive after the elections, waiting for events todevelop the course of policy to be pursued. Latterlythe Republicans or Radicals have exhibited a bolderfront and more confident tone. They have abandonedtheir defensive lines, and assumed the aggressiveandI have no doubt they will sweep down all opposition,aud that under General Grant, as the now acknowl-

edged leader of the Radicals, the Copperheads willmeet with aa signal a defeat at tl7 next fall election,aa did the rebels during the late civil war.

The most telling speech of the session, in defense ofthe reconstructive measures of Congress, and againstthe President's policy, was delivered yesterday in theSenate by now Senator Morton, of Indi-

ana. The galleries deusely crowded. Paralyzediu his lower limbs, Senator was obliged to sit dur-

ing his speech, and for nearly an hour he commandedthe closest atteution both of a full Senate and ofcrowded galleries. At the close of his speech, atiouta dozen of Lis colleagues left their seats and cameforward aud gave the triumphant Senator their hands,in tokcu cf their congratulations for the unanswerabledemonstration he bad given that the reconstructionacts of Congress were within the ' spirit and letter ofthe Constitution, aud that the policy of the Presidentin his attempts to restore upon his plan the SouthernStates to their orbits, was a palpable violation of thatinstrument.

Secretary Stanton remains in quiet possession ofthe War Department, and the charges against Gen-

eral Grant of Laving violated his engagements withthe President, in the manner of vacating the officeami surrendering it to Stanton, are untrue, and havebeen circulated without the authority of the President.

I forgot to remark that Senator Morton, uponwhom, just now, the mantle of thj late Daniel Web-

ster appears to rest, is on the Committee of ForeignRelations, and will support the treaty, which, ifthere be no change of votes' since Tuesday last, will

give us a majority of one in Committee, and a verystrong support in the Senate.

The present is said to be one of the gayest seasonsWashington has known for nianj' years. The even-

ing receptions are said to le (I have not yet attendedany of them) the most brilliant ever witnessed at anyformer session.

General J. F. B. Marshall came on to Washingtonwith me at the close of the recess, and remained aweek, ne made himself very useful. The HawaiianClub have rendered efficient aid. They spent severalhundred dollars here at the last session of Congress

to secure steam communication between Honoluluaud the Coast. They have no means of raising funds,but by individual contributions, and any remittances

our friends at the Islands may be iuclined tomake to the Club, will Le expended in their interest,

Dickens has made an engagement for four readingsin Washington, the first on the of February.Tickets sold at 3 each, or $12 the course. He re-

ceived $20,000 in Boston for his readings from hisown works.

Washington is thronged with visitors, and thepressure of private business upon members ofboth branches of Congress is very great. I hope Imay never have any interests to call me here again.

Very truly yours,IL W. W.

TrEsn.tr, January 28. The Committee of ForeignRelations have to-d-ay instructed their Chairman,Hon. Charles Summer, to report to the Senate thatthe Hawaiian Treaty of Rociprocity be adopted, and

Allow me to repeat, I am an annexationist, becauseI believe it will incre ase the happiness and prosperityof the people. To advocate such a measure, withoutsuch a conviction, would be wrong. To withholdsuch advocacy when I believe this, would be cowardly.

As I have lefore intimated, I was not so convincedbefore the revolution of 1SG4. Previous to thatcveut, the Government seemeJ actuated by a desireto perpetuate the liberties of the people, aud everyyear added prestige to the Constitution, and gavepromise of political stability. Nothing cau ever

again restore the prestige of Hawaiian Constitution-

alism at houie and abroad. Regret it as we may, thefatal step has been taken; the blow has been dealt,aud by those who should have sought to protect,rather than destroy. I do not pronounce upon themotives which prompted them. Men who shut theireyes to the experience of the past, and lightly violateestablished principles, must make mistakes. I onlypronounce upon the fact.

If thus, with strict adherence to truth, to merelylift the veil of history, and bring these facts to light,

that we must turn to some stronger support than !

Hawaiian Constitutional Government; that the mde--

only through annexation to the Lnited Mates,

Pondering upon the influences that seemed to tendto such a consummation I believed it not only possible,but inevitable, and, through the darkness I hailedthe dawn of what I believe will prove a brighter dayfor this people. I am no alarmist. I point to a bet-

ter and happier future.Nations die, but peoples live; thrones decay, but

man is elevated; slowly but surely the elevation goes

on, and often the very blows dealt those who

would check this progress, are those that lift theincubi which press man down.

Thus I embraced annexation. I respect the love

which many of the natives naturally feel for Hawai-

ian Independence, and did I not believe they wouldenjoy more liberty and prosperity by annexation Iwould not advocate it. I respect the motives which

needed of feeling of Hawaiian Government j is malicious treachery, and bringing the courts of thetowards Americans, it has Ven afforded by the baste J country into contempt, how would a dealer in epi-wi- th

lead that large claa, known as tbe missionary party,to sympathize with that love, and to yearn for areturn to the principles of this Government, beforethe revolution. But I feel that this is impossible;that the time calls for more active working amongthoe that love this people. Let the dead bury thedead." Vain regrets are useless, to continually pointto the unredressed wronjr is vain. It is better to

j fight for the good, than to rail at the ill."To labor for the good of the nation is the highest

and nollest patriotism, even if you encounter thesneers c f power, the reproaches of those who alwaysdread charge, and even be called anti-Hawaii- an.

Let us trust that progress may not always be calledanti-HaTaii- an.

An editorial in the Hawaiian (Gazette lately assert-ed that the present Ministry had urged a measure,though it might be called in a restricted sense anti-Hawaii- an.

What would be said of a German, or & BritishMinister, who 6bouId advocate a measure in anysense anti German or anti-Britis- h. Should we forthis reason stigmatize the Ministers as traitors, andpropose for them a trial by jury? By no means.We know the Ministers were opposed to the treaty.The editorial columns of the Gazette opposed it atfirst, and it was so stated by the Ministers themselvesin the Legislative Assemb.yl They still show their mis--givings, and style it in some sense, anti-Hawaii- an, butthey have wisely yielded, and were obliged to yield,to " the inexorable logic of events," to a pressurethat was growing irresistible. All the interests ofcommerce and sgriculture; the prosperity of the Kingdom, and of consequence its independence; all thegreat interests of progress, commerce and of humanity which cluster round this ocean centre; in a wordall the material interests which call for annexationdemanded some concession, and all accepted thetreaty as a progressive step to that end. That theMinistry thus accepted it, is shown in the same editorial alluded to above:

" Nor can we deprecate the consequences of thetreaty, though it should prove vastly more import intto our prosperity in the future than is apparent to-day, and if the onward march of time, and the con-tinued expansion of the world's commerce in thisocean, should demonstrate that both California andour Islands are naturally interested in its indefinitecontinuance."

Commercial treaties are necessarily for definite periods. In no other way save by annexation could the" indefinite continuance " of the benefits of the treatybe secured. Thus I am glad to see that some at leastof the representatives of the Ministry in the columnscf their organ have

" Dip't into the future, fur as human eye ran see,"and, intentionally or not, have given honest expres-sion to the idea which all far-sight-

ed men can see expresses the inevitable future of this nation.

But is the treaty, or is annexation, anti-Hawaii- an.

in the truest sense ? It may be, in some such senseas the opening of the ports to foreign trade bv Jananwas anti-Japane- in some such sense as the wholeform of this Government might be said to be anti--llawauan since it is borrowed in every way fromabroad. If Hawaiian be usod as a synonym for retro-gression, barbarism and national torpidity, then may.1 - 1- .- II "lurac luiug ue uiuuu nuu-uawaii- an.

The Constitution of 1852 recognized the necessityof incorporating the principle of progress in the Gov-ernment of this country. It was framed in accord-ance with the spirit of the age, and thus secured theresect of other nations. It was admirably adiptedto the necessities both of the people and the age.

The iconoclasts of 18G4 thought they saw some in-congruities in its application to the people, and for-getting that the ieople ought to be, and were fastbecoming adapted to these principles, necessary totheir continued existence as an independent power.6hut their eyes to all beyond the petty horizon of.i ?i i. . . . .ineir own lueas, anu struck: dock the nana upon thedial of Hawaiian progress, weakened the hold of theGovernment upon the respect of all outward influ-ences, and now turn to a short-live-d treaty with aforeign power to sustain the nation, though they per-ceive its consequences to be the indefinite dependenceof the nation upon the United States. Accepting thenthe situation, will it not be wise to legisl ite and gov-ern so as to prepare the people for the future thatawaits them T

The effort made to prejudice the native mind, andlead them to accept with aversion this destiny, andthe epithets applied to any who hold these views, haveled me to do what was not usual to me, and placeuiese views oeiore tue public.
