should be in every family.
Already nearly 340 pages are printed.
About 200 more will be added. We are
glad to learn that about 40 pages will be filled
up with an English and Hawaiian vocabulary.
We also learn that Mr. Andrews intends to
append a Hawaiian Chronological Table.
This will much enhance the value of the
work. The book will appear about April,
and be sold to subscribers for $6. Considering the extra cost of printing and binding in
this part of the world, we consider this a very
reasonable price.
We learn that Mr. Andrews will enter
upon another literary undertaking when this
is completed. Already, we believe, he is
collecting the materials. We refer to his
attempt to write the life of Kamehameha I.

We were glad to hear the remark* of
Mon. dc Varigny, the Minister of Finance.
He was very decided in his opinion that the
"tabu" should not be removed. He argued
that if the tabu never had been imposed, perhaps it would not be best to impose it, but as
it had been, he would not dare to remove it.
He referred very pertinently to the
of
the French Authorities at the Society Islands.
There the French have tried every variety
of experiment, in regard to the sale of liquors
to the natives, but have finally adopted the
policy that it is not besl to allow the sale of
spirituous liquors among the Tahitians.
This is valuable experience, the more so as
the French have always been very cautious
about adopting any principle which savored
of Puritanism or Missionary !
Before closing our notice of the Legislative
Assembly, we cannot refrain from complimenting the translator, who spoke with an
ease and gracefulness very impressive. There
was a natural appropriateness in his

which made us quite envy the young man's
gifts.
Bailot-box and Brandy-bottle.
Some people argue that Hawaiians cannot
be trusted with free access to the ballot-box,
but yet those same persons would put into
their hands the brandy-bottle. The Sandwich Islands may be comparatively a small
Kingdom, but the very same principles are
at work here as among the greater nations.
We are not afraid of the people. Only educate them and preach the gospel among them,
and then give them free access to the ballotbox, but if at that ballot-box they decide that
the brandy-bottle should be tabued, or banished, we think their decision should be respected, and the executors of the law should
see well to it that the law is executed. No
fact stands forth more open to the world than
this, that for more than twenty years the
Hawaiian people, through their Representatives in the Legislature have voted away the
brandy-bottle. Some oT the chiefs, and a
rum-party among foreigners, have strenuously opposed the sovereign voice of the people,
but thanks to God, as yet they have been
most signally defeated. When His Majesty
Kamehameha Y. ascended the throne, there
was a manifest chuckle among those rallying
around the brandy-bottle, " Now we'll have
things in our way." Itaffords us much gratification to learn, that a majority of His Majesty's Ministers take what we hold to be
correct views upon this subject, and we do
not think that we are mistaken in the inference, that His Majesty is far from wishing
to see a rum-shop set up in every town and
�Hl]
village of the Kingdom. We are aware that
some in their zeal for the free sale of rum
and brandy, argue thatthe foreigner is granted a privilege which is denied to the native.
Glorious privilege, that of getting drunk and
dying with the delirium tremens We know
this is a privilege that not a few have improved, and are improving to their sorrow
and ruin.
It is a most gratifying fact that

public sentiment among them. Only one
foreigner in the Assembly, as we have been
informed, allowed his name to be recorded in
favor of removing the " tabu." It could
hardly be expected that he would have voted
otherwise, as he is one of the wholesale liquor
dealers of Honolulu ! Hawaiians are setting
a noble example to the other nations of the
earth. There is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of Hawaiians would say, if the
question was fairly put, give us a free ballotl>ox, but do not give with it the brandy-bottle.

laying the last anchor, I became a silent spectator of the
swamping of two of my boats by one of Ibe most fearful seas
I ever beheld, depriving me of oars, pins, and everything that

crew 1 attempted to lower thestarboard boat, and had the good
fortune to get her in the water and away from tbe ship without
any serious mishap. I now called forone of the boats to come
alongside, watching a time when it was prudent to take soma
of tbe men and try and effect a landing. Wet, cold and
fatigued and with nothing but what they stood in, and by
stowing themunder and between the thwurts, I succeeded la
landing every one without th" loss of a single life.
At 3 o'clock A. M., I took mypapers and valise,and a few
pieces of salt meat from the cask, I abandoned the ship, beintf
thelastman to leave her, aud landed on a dreary desolate coast,
not to sleep but to mourn over my tad misfortunes, and blighted prospects, A fire was kindled, whioh In a measure cheered
up our lonoly and forlorn spirits, and made our situationappear less gloomy. Wet, tired aud coM,as we were without a
dry piece of clothing to put on oar backs, without a shelter and
a drlaiting rain falling upon us all the while,rendered our situation as deplorable as can well be Imagined. Daylight soon
made its appearance, and with signs of an abatement of the
storm. The wreck of what a short time before had been our
home, had been driven entirely over the ledge, and lay on a
coarse graveHy flat. I went on board the day after our disaster, with two boats crews of my best men. And at flood tide,
although she was bilged nn the port side, and her bold full of
water, I succeeded In hauling the ship a little nearer theshore,
as the swell wouldlift her clear of the bottom, god by watching
the seas when they would strike and lift her Hauling on our
lines at the same time, we were enabled to lodge her in a more
convenient place. The two following days we were engaged in
getting what provisions we could, aud on the ..2d, I sent my Ist
officer to Fellxtuff and Shantar Bay, to go on board of any
vessel thathe could And,and inform them of our aad fate, and
ask for Immediate assistance And relief.
I will here remark that N. R. harbor has always beenrepresented as being a safeharbor for any ship from any wind thnt
may blow, except a S. W. wind. And for the benefit of those
whohave occasion to visit this dreary region, I will say that my
sad experience has taught me, that it is not as has been represented, a At place for any ship lo anchorafter themiddle of
August,and under no circumstanceswould I advise any one to
seek shelter in any harbor above Cape Ukory after the 10th
of September when tbe heavy gales begin to blow. Capt. Allen
of the ship Onward, was laying at Rocky Point, about 30 miles
below me, during the same gale, and was obliged to get under
weigh three different times to avoid going ashore. But owing
to the nuperior qualities of his ship, (of which there are but
few such) be barely escaped tberocks. Ho speaks of the gale
as being very severe. The Russian l.overninent steamer which
was laying at South Head, had three heavy anchors down,and
steam up, and dragged at that, and had the gale not abated,
she would have soon become a wreck,her fuel being all consumed. In fact, all who experienced the gale, speak of It as
being uncommonly severe.
On theIst of October our heart* were made glad by the appearance of the Russia American Company schooner Ayan,
Capt. Whitney, who kindly came to our assistance, (and to
whom I shall ever feel grateful,) offering a passage to myself,
oflicers,and crews to Manga,(a settlement in bhantar Bay.) I
proceeded to sell at auction what few things we had been fortunate enough to get from thewreck, together with the wreck,
for the sum or $»70 ; and on the 2d, emharked and sailed for
Munga, arriving there on the 3d. To Capt. Kllsburg, Governor
of Ayan, by whose Influence the schooner was seat to our relief,
I shall always feel myself greatly Indebted for the unlimited
favors extended to us while underhis h< spitalble roof. Asafrve
friend and gentleman, I extend to him my heartfelt gratitude.
On the6th, Capt. Allen of the Onward, came and gave us all a
passage to Felixtoff, where we were fortunate enough to And

THANKSGIVING
DAY.
the Proclamation of PresiAgreeable
dent Lincoln, Thursday, Nov. 24th, was observed in a becoming manner, by the American citizens residing in Honolulu, and the
numerous seafaring visitors belonging to the
fleet of whale ships in port. Mr. Mcßride,
the American Minister Resident, invited the
attention of Americans to this subject by an
appropriate call, published in the Advertiser
of the 12th ult.
Religious services becoming the occasion
were held at Fort Street Church in the morning at 11 o clock. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Dr. Gulick. It was an exceedingly interesting and appropriate discourse.
A copy has been requested for publication, and appeared in the AdvertiWe present our readers with an
ser.
outline of the sermon, but would refer them
to the discourse, as it appears in full.
Although Dr. Gulick is Hawaiian born, and
warmly attached to the land of his birth,
yet he deeply sympathizes with the people of
the United States in their present struggle.
Having been educated in the States, and resently visited them, he can of course speak
as one who knows whereof he affirms :
to
The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice ; let the
mnltitude of the isle* be glad thereof."—P». 87:1
"
We are not left to-day to bare faith, for incentives to thanksgiving. The terrible visitation of war, is bringing to the United States
of America blessing* difficult to estimate in
their present good and ultimate efTect.
We rejoice to-day over the Political Regeneration which is so surely being accomplished
in America.
During two generations the political heresy has been growing, that States were the
ultimate elements of the Union, rather than
the people of all the States, and that a minority of states need not submit to a majority.
The admission of such a doctrine would have
sapped the citadel of Freedom ; and we may
well rejoice that rather than submit to
threatened anarchy or oligarchy, there was
vitality sufficient to resist, and that we have
such good reason to hope this resistance will
result in forever settling, that the majority
rules, limited only by the constitutions
mutually adopted.
Another political lesson is regarding
slavery. This was the interest, to promote
which, the heresy of states-rights was especially fostered. This was the spirit-«that but
the form ; this the animus—that the cxpres■ion. And as they have been so inseparable in origin and life, together they shall die.
The national uprising is virtually against
both, it matters not what form the struggle
takes. If the first be destroyed the last must
alto die the death.
Half a million of patriot graves attest the
-arnestness of the North, and also tell the
1864.
character of the evil they resist. Like the
loul spirit rebuked by Jesus, this Dragon, in
being exorcised, has rent America sorely, and
filled the world with its infernal uproar ; and
for a time it left Columbia as one dead, insomuch that all the tyranny loving, and many
even of the ostensible lovers of liberty, exultingly said, she is dead. But the Lord took
her by. the hand, and by a most wonderful
series of providences is lifting her up, and
she is arising, and she will soon take tier
place among the foremost of earth's nations.
We pray the Lord to carry on his work till
slavery be utterly dead, and till it cease to
be, if it ever has been a glittering generality
that' All men are born free and equal.'
We also rejoice to-day over the Heroic
manhood—the Social Regeneration, which is
being developed in America by this war.
Led on by no trickery or force, because
themselves the arbiters, the loyal majority
have, from stage to stage, deliberately sacrificed their property and lives to maintain the
most precious of political principles. This is
producing untold good. It is bursting the
sordid chains of the love of gain, and is
making men. Steadily as the war progresses
does the standard of patriotism rise, advancing as the heroes multiply. No age or
nation has more noble names than America
already numbers as developed by this war,
and who will be watch-words for future gen-
erations and other lands.
Not the land alone, but the rolling ocean,
has been the theatre of deeds, in harmony
with its own grandeur. The character of
multitudes of sailors during this war has elevated this profession, and given us new reasons for honoring those who do business on
the deep. What unfading glory is the record
that no sailor in the U. S. Navy, on the
breaking out of the great rebellion, proved a
traitor to his country. The starry banner
has grown more brilliant and precious since
the Cumberland sank unsurrendered. That
last booming gun, fired in stem defiance as
the eagle touched the wave, has found its
echo in every American sailor's heart.
We rejoice that we here to-day mingle our
thanksgivings with so many sons of the
ocean, brethern of those who have manned
Uncle Sam s web-footed pets, and with such
wonderful daring have reduced so many of
the seaport citadels of treason —who have
swept the name ofrebel from the Father of
Waters—and who only ask the privilege of
honoring every rebel craft that floats as the
Kearsage, the Alabama. We thank God that
there are thos>e among you ranged under the
higher banner of glory and love. May grace
be given us all to fight the good fight, and
lay hold on eternal life, with the same violent
determination with whicl your comrades
have wrested victory on the wave!
Our third general cause for joy to-day is
the Religious Reviving that America is ex-
periencing.
A theoretical and practical education in religion, is this baptism in blood r No more
let America be taunted with having developed the infidel and licentious instincts alone
of democracy. Even a democratic government, under the tutelage of God's providences, while it retains all its individualized
manhood 1and independence, learns to carry
itself reverently.
The fact thatall the causes of benevolence
and philanthropy, and education for home
and abroad, even to the cause of Christian
missions to heathen lands, have not only
been sustained, but increased, during this unparalleled war, is, to a thinking mind, most
singularly significant of this religious reviving.
A national coin has at last been issued
with the motto " God our trust." Under the
discipline of war, the united North gladly
responds to calls, such as no President before
made in frequency or kind, to observe days
of praying and days of religious racing.
A yearly day of Thanksgiving, has at last
become a national institution. To-day, how
glorious the sight, through the lurid smoke,
of a nation on its knees I
And we have rejoicings for our own Sunny
Isles. Though much has transpired over
which we grieve, we rejoice in the wonderful
providences by which the nation has been
brought to where we now find it, so capable
of appreciating the principles of freedom, and
of sustaining Christian institutions. We rejoice over another year for proving ourselves
true to the enlarged christian patriotism,
brought from America, and learned from our
Bibles, in endeavoring to be among the most
faithful friends of the Hawaiian Nation, and
the most consistent supporters of the Hawaiian Throne;
It is with thankful pride we point to die
fact that since the commencement of the war,
nearly twelve thousand dollars, in the currency of America, have been contributed from
these islands to the Sanitary Commission.
And by one, scarcely preconcerted effort,
the ladies of Honolulu have within the last
month been the means of raising fifty-five
hundred dollars for the Christian Commission.
Finally ; Thanksgiving is a christian idea,

to land, and nation will yet join with nation
in a yearly Thanksgiving.
Improbable as
this thought may at first seem, it is to be
expected, that the whole world will yet keep
Thanksgiving Day. When rails and wires,
and Bibles—steam, and electricity, and Christianity—shall have brought the remotest regions more nearly together than different
parts ol the same nation were a short time
since, this will be (he most natural of all the
possible developments of christian civiliza-
tion.
We give thanks to-day, that another year of
humanity's fighting and groaning, and working, and praying, is "numbered with the
years beyond the flood ; " and that the Angel of Christian Progress is so hastening its
wing round and round the earth that our
souls can at last catch those distant glimpses
of the Latter-day glory, and our ears almost
hear the faint prelude to that final and eternal Thanksgiving—in which Cod grant vvn
may all join—when " every creature which
is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all
that are in them," shall shout, " Blessing,
and honor, and glory, and power, be unto
him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the
Lamb forever and ever."
Congress meets to-day at Washington.
In about two weeks look out for the President's Message,
�THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1864.
Cheering News!-“VoxPopuli.”
The people have spoken. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN has been re-elected President by
an overwhelming majority. The people's vote
in his favor is much larger than even his most
sanguine friends dared to predict. There has
been a second uprising of a great people.
They have pronounced in favor of Liberty,
Freedom, Law, Order, Union, Right. Truth,
and against Slavery, Secession, Misrule,
Anarchy? Disunion, Oppression and Rebellion.
Poor “Jeff.”—The Rebel editors have
now taken "Jeflf" by the ears, and they are
giving them a worse pulling than they ever
received from the Yankees. Read Daily Alta
of Nov. 12th. It appears that he is traveling through the South, and trying to revive
the fainting hopes of the Rebels. He denounces Governor Brown of Georgia as a
scoundrel, and otherwise discourses not much
liking of Rebel ears. In one of his
speeches, he makes the following admission :
" It is not proper for me to speak of the
number of men in the field ; but this I will
say—that two-thirds of our men are absent;
some sick, some wounded, but most of them
absent without leave. The man who repents
and goes back to his commander, voluntarily,
appeals strongly to executive clemency."
to the
How do you Spell Negro—with One
or Two G's ?—That tells the story. Four
years ago, Mr. Seward said no one could be
President who spelt negro with two g's.
There is just this difference between Lincoln
and McClellan. The former writes negro,
the latter nigger! The great struggle in
America may be brought down to a very
small point—but that is a most vital point.
Is the negro a man or piece of chattel-property ? The noble armies of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Banks, say that he is a
man. Voters for Lincoln say he is a man.
The armies under Lee, Hood and Price, say
the negro is a chattel. Voters for McClellan
echo the same sentiment. Do you, reader,
spell negro with one or two g's ?
Mr. Perry's Studio.—A visit to this department of the Fine Arts, will convince one
that we have a painter amongst us. A look
at a good portrait almost makes the beholder
feel like casting ambrotypes, photographs
and daguerreotypes aside, and falling back
upon the good old way of the masters of the
brush. We are glad to learn that some of
the Royal Family are thinking of giving
employment to Mr. Perry. A poor portraitpainter is among the most undesirable of
characters, but a good one is so rare a personage, that those who are able may well
afford to spend upon him their surplus funds.
Free Trade between United States and
the Sandwich Islands.
On the 14th of October, the Hon. J. H.
Mitchell, in the Senate of Oregon, introduced
a Resolution advocating Free Trade with
the Sandwich Islands. He accompanied the
Resolution with a lengthy speech, portions
of which will be found in the Alta of Nov.
13th. We notice that he makes honorable
mention in this speech of Chief Justice
Allen and the late Chief Justice Lee. The
speech is worthy of perusal.
.
Most Afflictive Providence. —In the
list of deaths, found in another column, may
be read that of Young Landers. Under the
circumstances, it is certainly one of the most
afflictive and trying that we remember to
have become acquainted with. We retain a
distinct recollection of the youth, as he visited
Honolulu on his way to the whaling ground.
We were introduced to him by his father.
We grieve to learn the fate that awaited ihe
youth. While obeying an order given by
his father, (accompanied with the caution not
to fall overboard,) theunfortunate youth is sud$5,500 for the Christian Commission.— denly taken out of this world, and that father
The Ladies' Fair, which came oflf on the
evenings of the Bth and 9th of November,
was a most successful enterprise.
The
American Ladies in Honolulu, and on other
islands, have succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations. At first they only
reckoned that it would be possible to raise a
very few hundreds, but their receipts how
foot up thousands ! An amount in gold has
been received, which invested in exchange,
enables them to send forward a draft f0j

stands upon the quarter-deck utterly powerless to render saving aid, to rescue his son
from a watery grave. Father and son gaze
at each other for the last time, the former
powerless to aid, and the latter struggling
with the rough elements. The barerecital of
the scene sends a pang of sorrow through
every fibre of the soul. Most gladly, if in
our power, would we administer comfort to
the sorrowing and afflicted father, who can
only exclaim, in the anguish of his soul, in
the language of David, " Can I bring him
back again ? I shall go to him, but he shall
not return to me." This is one of those afflictive and trying providences when the sorrowing ones can only lay their faces in the
dust, and submit to the will of Heaven, trusting that hereafter God shall make plain what
at the present time seems wrapped in profound

$12,000 for the U. S. Sanitary Commission.—We learn from A. J. Cartwright, Esq.,
that nearly $12,000 has been raised during
this and former years for this noblest ofcharities. It speaks well for the Americans scattered over the Sandwich Islands, and those visitiag our shores, that they have so generously
remembered the sick and wounded Union soldiers, and the rebel soldiers too, when captured.
Hawaiian Rice.—An excellent quality of
rice is now being cleaned and polished at the
mill of Mr. Prendergast. We are glad to
learn that the rice-growers this year are receiving a good price for their rice, in the
San Francisco market. The natives on
Kauai appear to be determined to supply the
market with this product. From what we
can learn, Mr. Knudsen deserves much credit
for the encouragement which he offers to the
native rice-growers. We sincerely hope that
hereafter rice may always be cultivated.

General Sherman. —The movements of
this General seem to dazzle the eyes of the
friends of the Union, and bewilder the Rebels.
He has destroyed the railroad north of Atlanta, burnt that city, and with 40,000 soldiers has started for parts unknown. It is
supposed that Charleston or Savannah is the
point of his destination, although that is a
matter of great uncertainty. Some suppose
that he has gone to liberate the Union prisoners at Andersonville, in Georgia.
Bonfires, Illuminations and Rejoicings.
The news of the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln, called forth on the Ist of December,

Report of Ship Onward.
Tbe ship Onward, Allen, lea the Sandwich Islands April
23th, had a pleasant passageup to the Kurite Islands. Passed
through the47th pssssge the Oth of May. Saw tbe first whale
tbeloth of May* W milei N ■ w of Jonas Islands. The Ice at
that tisne was packed and heavy. We sustained no damage of
any consequence, more than the loss of copper, *Vo. Took our
first right whale May 17th. and last in Shantar Bay, Oct. 4th,
making 19 In all. Arrived In tbe Rays August 10th, found the
ice very heavy, which lasted until Sept. 4th. Tbe weather in
the Bay sssd south part of the Sea, has been unusually ragged
this year, worse (ban I ever experienced before, with thick fogs,
rains, and frequent N. s>. gales. Few whales, very wild and
hard to catch. Ships, as a general thing, bare not done very
well, owing to the unusual amount of bad weather, which has
also caused the loss of a number of anchors, chains, boats,
whales,«kc. Therehas also been one vesseUost In N.K. Harbor,
in a heavy gale from IV. K. to 5.8., the bark Mary, of New Bedford, Capt. Thompson. Tbe gale that the Mary was lost in,
which was on the 18th of Sept. was the worst gale that I ever
eapwlasfctd, ranging from Northeast to Southeast, with a
trsmaaduos swell and sea on. I was anchored under Rooky
Point, whlen Is some twenty miles from Northeast Harbor,
wheu she wa* lost, aod in eyery way considered It a better
harbor for a ship; bnt my anchors would not hold tbe ship-, I
.
had to get under weivh no lest thin three timet lo the gale. to
•ave my ship, and could carry no more canvads than a close
reefed main top-tall and storm slay-sails. This [ale blew with
great violence for tbe mott part of three days. I stayed Id the
bajt until Oot. 11th. On the »th of October, I took Capt.
Thompson and his whete crew from Munuga, a small Russian
whaling, settlement In Shantar Bay, where be waa carried by a
Russian schooner, I carried them to Felixloff Harbor, and
Capt. Mahimen, of ship Oregon, and Capt. Vauxpree, of the
Guit&ve, kindly took a part of the men, and showed themselves
true friends in time of need. I had a long passage across the
Ochotsk bea, with very bad weather, and came out of the 60th
Passage the28th of October. Had a good passage of 10 daya
down to the Long, of lot D W., and Lat. 32 N., and then had
a fresh gale from the South, which lasted five days, then took
light E. 9. E. winds, which lasted to thisport, passage 31 days.
Brought as passengers, Capt. Thompson, bis first officer, and
some of his crew, shipwrecked men from bark Mary, of New
Bedford.
