that is not with me is against me," will apply to this question of temperance : those
who are not for the cause are against it.

1, 1803.

Temperance Awaking.—It is a most grat-

ifying fact that the friends of this good cause
are bestirring themselves in Honolulu. Several chcerinir and well-attended meetings
have been held at the Sailors' Home and the
the vestry of the Bethel. The meetings
have resulted in the organization of the
Seamen's and Mechanics' Temperance
"Association."
The proper officers have been
chosen to carry forward the operations of the
Society. It is to be hoped that great good
will be the result, and we are confident such
will be the case. It has been so in former
years, and, although Societies have been
formed and become extinct, yet there has always been progress in the right direction.
It is well to keep the subject before the minds
of the people.
On Monday evening, the Rev. Dr. Gulick
and others, addressed the Society at the vestry of the Bethel. The meeting was well
attended. He spoke in his usual animated
and eloquent style, upon the social, economic, medicinal and religious bearings of the
temperance question. Among other facts,
he stated that five hundred ministers of the
Church of England and one bishop had
signed the teetotal pledge, and he might
have added that nine-tenths of all the ministers of the gospel in America are firmly
pledged to the same good cause.
At the same meeting, the Rev. Mr. Cotwin made an effective impromptu speech,
and the Society, on motion of the Seamen's

President Lincoln and Vice President
Johnson.—Before this sheet reaches most of
our readers, the inauguration of the President and Vice President will have transpired
at Washington. Their known sentiments
upon the war question, emancipation, and
kindred subjects, will indicate the policy of
the United States Government during the
past four years. We have often published
the views ofPresident Lincoln on the slavery
question, but we now publish an article
making known Vice President Johnson's
views. It is worthy of perusal. Whatever
the rebels, and those who sympathize with
them at home and abroad, may think in regard to slavery and the future standing of
the colored people in the United States, it is
well known where President Lincoln and
Vice President Johnson have taken their
stand. They are practical believers in the
doctrine that" all men are born free and
equal." Depend upon it, this noble stand
will exert a mighty and controlling influence
throughout other nations as well as the
United States.
Photographic Views of the Volcano.—
Mr. Chase is now taking photographic views
of the volcano and other island scenery,
which are very good representations. Although they may not fully portray the original scenes, they are vastly superior to any
written description, and may readily be sent
in a letter. We hope he may succeed in
this branch, until every nook and comer of
the islands is perfectly photographed.

and make any necessary repairs. The good
work is now in progress. The following
subscriptions from the merchants and others,

President elect of the United States, stood
unon the steps of the Capitol of his Slate, at
Nashville, nnd addressed the slaves, who
surrounded him by thousands. His speech
was brief, but it will live forever.

Andrew Johnson, do hereby proclaim free-

&lt;

'

dom, full, broad, and unconditional, to every
man in Tennessee!"
A correspondent of the Hartford P&gt; st, who
witnessed the scene, says it was one of those
moments' when the speaker seems inspired,
and when his audience, catching the inspiration, rises to his level and becomes one with
him. Strangely as some of the words of his
immortal utterance sounded to those uncultivated ears, not one of them was misunderstood. With breathless attention those sons
of bondage hung upon each syllable; each
individual seemed carved in stone, until the
last word of the grand climax was reached,
and then came the scene which beggars all
description. One simultaneous roar of approval and delight burst from three thousand
throats. Flags, torches, banners and transparencies were waved wildly over the throng,
or flung aloft in the ccstacy of joy. Drums,
fifes and trumpets added to the uproar, and
the mighty tumult of this great mass of human beings rejoicing for their race woke up
the slumbering echoes of the Capitol, vibrated
throughout the length and breadth of the
city, rolled over the sluggish waters of the
Cumberland, and rung out far into the night

Having thus (riven them their freedom,

the Governor went on to tell them of its
privileges, its duties and its responsibilities.
That portion of bis speech which described
and denounced the aristocracy of '.usiiville,
and its effects upon his hearers, is thus re"The representatives of this corrupt, (and,
ggLjou will permit me almost to swear a litWe,) this damnable aristocracy, taunt us with
our desire to see justice done, and charge us
with favoring negro equality. Of all living
men they should be the last to mouth that
phrase; and, even when uttered in their
hearing, it should cause their cheeks to
tingle and burn with shame. Negro equality,
indeed! Why, pass any day along the
sidewalks of High street, where these aristocrats—whose sons are now in the bands
of guerrillas and cut-throats who prowl and
rob and murder around our city—pass by
their dwellings, I say, and you will see as
many mulatto as negro children, the former
bearing an unmistakable resemblance to their
aristocratic owners.
Colored men of Tennessee! This, too,
shall cease! Your wives and your daughters shall no longer be dragged into a concubinage compared to which polygamy is a
virtue, to satisfy the brutal lusts of slave-

sanction to your degradation and your
shame !"
Thank God ! thank God !" came from
the lips of a thousand women, who, in their
own persons, had experienced the hellish
iniquity of the man-seller's code. " Thank
God !" fervently echoed the fathers, husbands, brothers of those women.
"And if the law protects you in the possession of your wives and children, if the
law shields those whom you hold dear from
the unlawful grasp of lust, will you endeavor
to be true to yourselves, and shun, as it were
death itself, the path of lewdness, crime and
vice ?"
" We will, we will!" cried the assembled
thousands ; and, joining in a sublime and
tearful enthusiasm, another mighty shout
went up to Heaven.
" Looking at this vast crowd of colored
people," continued the Governor, "and reflecting through what a storm of persecution
and obloquy they are compelled to pass, I
am nlmost induced to wish that, as in the
days of old, a Moses might arise who should
lead them safely to their promised land of
freedom and happiness."
'• You are our Moses," shouted several
voices, and the exclamation was caught up
and cheered until the Capitol rung again.
" God," continued the speaker, " no doubt
has prepared somewhere tin instrument for
the great work he designs to perform in behalf of this outraged people; und in due
time your leader will come forth; your
Moses will be revealed to you."
" We want no Moses but you!" again
shouted the crowd.
" Well, then," replied the speaker, " humble and unworthy as I am, if no other better
shall be found, I will, indeed, be your Moses,
and lead you through the Red Sea of war
and bondage to A fairer future of lilierty and
peace. I speak now as one who feels the
world his country, and all who love equal
rights his friends. I speak, too, as a citizen
of Tennessee. I am here on my own soil,
and here I mean to stay and fight this great
battle of truth and justice to a triumphant
end. Rebellion and slavery shall, by God's
help, no longer pollute our State. Loyal
men, whether white or black, shall alone
control her destinies. When this strife in
which we are engaged is past, I trust—l
know—we shall have it better state ofthings,
and shall all rejoice that honest labor reaps
the fruit of its industry. ■■""! that every man

The narrator of this event says it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm which
followed these words. Joy beamed in every

ICT" Some weeks ago, one dark evening,
on returning from an evening meeting at the
Bethel, we met a Scottish sailor in Nuuanti

nature, asJ may term it, either jesting, singing or faring—the latter, lam sorry to
say, he was much addicted to. On the day
following our departure from San Francisco,
while at dinner, various subjects were conversed upon. One of the crew asked him
where he would be in the course of four

reply. Mark, reader, in less than thirty

Englishman, and very likely his relations

Perhaps we'll Ax it so.

wen,

Of course I'll go (though whereand bow.
I don't exactly see)*
Tho wounded boys are crowding- in,
There isn't room for me.

I'd better lay again the prayen
I learned at mother's knee.
And trust the Owl whom Mary loved
Hill kindly care for me.

1 have n't spent six months ashore,
Since at my mother's knee,
I, sobbing, said my parting prayer,
And then was off to sea.
When yeanhad passed, and I came back,
My wages In my hand,
1 found my gentle mother rich—
Kiel, in the U* tier Land !

She waa too good for me,
and so tbe angcis took her horns
While I was ou the sea.

'

If mother or my Mary lived,
(What ails my foolish eyes r)
This poor, old, maimed and battered tar
They'd treasure as a prise.
Yet, both my "pins" were shot away;
I don't begrudge them, though;
We beat the rebels in the fight
Before I went below.
Our captain praised me for my pluck.
In presence of the crew,
And yet 1 hardly had the time
Toshow what I coulddo.
I'd like to try the thing again,
To help our country through j
To keep her whole, from stem to stern,
I would be shot In two !
But now there is no chance for me
To join the tars again:
They did not stop to speak to me
In reck'nlng able men.
Tbey don't enlist four-footed folks,
Or I would volunteer}
For, though not built for fighting now,
I might make out to steer.
Hefgho! with following tbe sea
(

I know 1 must be done:
never more shall trim a sail,
Or stand to serve a gun.

I don't begrudge my loss, I say—
I'm made of better stuff—
Bat where to go, and what to do,
It bothers me enough.
The boys along thecripple-ward,
I know them, every one;
Tbe crutcheshere are thick as hops,
Aod make ua lots of fun.
