It has been the desiro of the Itritish government, regulating the intercourse N its politic servants with the native authorities ol'tlie Sandwich Islands, rather to strengthen those nuthorities nnd give limn n sense of their own independence liy leaving the administration of justice in their own hands, than to make (hem feel their dependence upon foreign powers by the exercise of unnecessary interference.

Love is the bond of gytnpi(hy with nil intelli .p-t-ut creatures.

The Temperance Almanac was issued, and more than 2,000,000 of Temperance Recorders were published nnd circulated. The result of the examination of the gaols, poor-houses, &.c., in the state of New York, by Samuel Chapin, Ksq , was also published-, anil extensively circulated. The cause made very great progress during the year, nnd a conviction that nothing but total abstinence from all that can intoxicate, could carry it on much farther, was generally entertained by all who took part in the movement. The sixth anniversary of this society was celebrated in the first presbytcriun church in Albany, on the 3d of February, I8i">, and attended by 10*2 delegates. The conductors of the Recorder, as well as those of the Intelligencer, were now oidered by the executive committee to advocate the principles of total abstinence from all that can intoxicate.— "The whole proceedings of this anniversary showed, that but little more could be done to advance the temperance cause by opposing the use of distilled liquors only." A semi-anual meeting was also held on the 9th of July, in the first presbyterian church of Buffalo, nnd attended by 312 delegates from 22 counties, besides several distinguished gentleman from other states, and a delegation from Canada. At this meeting, the principle of total abstinence from all that can intoxicate, was fully discussed and maintained, only one individual, on the final vote, opposing it. This was a noble triumph in the cause of humanity and religion, and amply repaid for all the exertion that had been put forth in order to secure it. From that day, the question may justly be considered as having been settled, that nothing short of total abstinence can consummate the Notwithstanding temperance enterprise. this, however, "another national convention was held, at Saratoga Springs, on the nth of August, Hi*;, which was attended by !)6 4 delagates from nineteen states of the Union, from Canada, and from Liberia in Africa. The great object of this meeting was to settle the question of a partial, or complete pledge; and more intelligence and moral worth were probably never found in any assembly of equal size. After three days of animated discussion, the principle of total abstinence was fully sustained, it being adopted without a division." It was at this meeting that the American Temperance Union was formed on this principle, which has the seat of its operations in Philadelphia, and is to be regarded as a great national society. From this epitome of the history of this movement in America, it must appear obvious to every one, that the principle of total abstinence from everything that can intoxicate, was not adopted hastily, or without the fullest investigation. It appears too, that it was the result of (he practieul failure of what the moderation principle" to it termed! 1 " remove the evils of intemperance. The ex" quite the most easy for the patient.

Allow him one drink of cider, or one glass of wine, to l>< gin with, and can this be said of him? Certainly not. He must stand firm to his principles of tasting nothing which can intoxicate, both now and forever. Strong beer is worse than cider. Wine is worse than either.

To that question the temperance community would answer—" principally water."

L A ETTER, From the Masi-kr or an American Wiiai.e Ship, to IMS Editor ok iiik Temperance Advocate and Seamen's Friend. Dkar Sir.—The cause in which you have engaged affords a large scope for the most philanthropic feelings, and may your success in the field prove commensurate with your most ardent desires and fondest anticipations. Seamen do stand in need of a faithful friend nnd adviser,) to warn them against the allurements of strong drink, which is so temptingly placed in their way, by those who fatten upon their spoils, and hoard up ill-gotten gold, by administering to the depraved appetites of their fellow-beings.

If so, how shall those be regarded who have in any manner l»een accessory in forming intemperate habits in the slightest degree? When an epidemic, is raging, do not the most skilful physicians guard against its approach with the utmost care—and when its mo9t incipient symptoms rtc perceived, administer preventives crn it gains strength and hursts forth in nil its energy, and lays its victims low? I believe it is so; and what a fearful epidemic has intemperance become ; nnd where it lays its blighting; hand, or infuses its unhallowed influence, what an amount ofhuman misery and moral degradationfidlowi in its deadly course! When so many of the ablest pens have of late years been employed in pointing out the various causes which have led poor erring human nature so deeply into this debasing evil, it is hardly possible to add more ; yet when we look around us, and see those whom we delight to honor, whose friendship we prize, still irresolute, and undetermined to take a decided stand in favor of total abstinence from all that will intoxicate, it moves us to make an attempt to try to persuade them to weigh well in their own minds the influence their conduct may have on others. Can there be n healthy state of high moral feeling existing in any community where it is deemed uncourteous not to place wine or other stimulating drinks before a guest at your table s —or if placed before one and is refused from principle, to deem him wanting in courtesy who thus declines to partake? Certainly at this day, when such a great moral revolution has taken place in the minds of men in regard to temperance, wherever such a feeling exists, that community must be considered behind ihe age. The habit of drinking wine may be classed among the incipient approaches to intemperance; and who is there that has seen much of human nature that has not been obliged to acknowledge the force of habit, and has not seen people so deeply "refreshed" at the social board, as to require help to leave it? The only means of safety is to taste not of the poisoned chalice ; for however glittering to the sight or sweet to the palate it may appear, the invisible spirit of evil lurks within, and thrice happy is he who has ever been within its unhallowed influence and has escaped unscathed. No one, I presume, will pretend to deny the fact that some of their friends and acquaintances have fallen into the drunkard's track, and thereby made shipwreck of their brightest hopes, and (>erhaps sunk to a premature grave. Should we see our fellow-creatures upon the brink of a precipice, wi»h but n slip pery foot-hold, and occasionally behold one give way nnd fall over the dangerous brink.—would not our hearts yearn to lend llietn a helping hand to release them from danger; and if we stood on firm ground would not our natures prompt us to place them there too? Too many of our fi'llow-creatures are. nlas! placed upon a fearful precipice, and they tread the slippery paths of indulgence, seemingly quite fearless, till their feel irretrievably slip, and they sink into the gulfof intemperance, from whence nought but an Almighty Power can rescue them. Tee-totallers stand upon firm ground, from whence nothing but indulgence can' remove them ; and while standing firm, let them endeavor by all possible means to win those who are in error, from their unhappy courses, and save them from being engulfed in total ruin. A few years since, I was in Boston, and stopped at what was called one of the first houses in the city. It was not a temperance house however, and various wines were placed on the table, of which I was invited to partake ; but as I did not drink wine or any other liquor, I declined ; and no one appeared to think me uncourteous. One day I was absent at dinner time, being on an excursion to one of the islands in the bay, and my wife was invited to take her seat near the landlady. There were several ladies there, and I had frequently seen them drinking what I supposed to be wine and water; but on my return, my wife informed mc that what 1 supposed to be wine and water was brandy and water ; and that she had been invited to drink with them,but declined. The following day, I saw a young married lady prevailed upon to take a little brandy instead of wine, and being quite unaccustomed to it, appeared very silly under its influence. There, I think I saw the progress of intemperance in what are termed the highest circles in life ; and I have no doubt that any individual who sat at that table would have felt themselves highly aggrieved to have been thought intemperate in the least degree. Accustomed to the daily use of wine, they thought nothing of it, and a habit was formed and an appetite created that required something (December, stronger to appease its unnatural longings. How necessnry il is for us then, to endeavor to brake off all habits that may strengthen with our growth, and both by precept and example prove that we wish well all our fellow-creatures. The cause of temperance is advancing seemingly under the guidance of an Almighty Power; and soon may it arrest all who are in any way accessory to spreading intemperance, and show them the iniquity of their course, and turn them entirely away from their unhallowed pursuits, and enlist them all upon the side of temperance. It is in vain for men to argue at this late hour, that it is necessary to supply men with liquor who are exposed to fatigue and hardships ; for every man who has followed the seas for a number of vcars knows, that it is of no use ; and that many who rank among that humble class, common sailors, would far sooner have something else than rum. All the foremast hands on board of ships, who come under the denomination of tailors, are not old salts, whose habits of dissipation are confirmed beyond the reach of moral suasion ; but many arc young men of estimable character, who have just commenced their sea-faring life, and in a course of few years rise to be masters. To preserve such youths from being drawn away, and occasionally led to visit the haunts of the inebriate, is a noble eflblt; and if the dissemination of your paper! among the fleet will have an influence to that effect, much good will be effected, and the friends of temperance cannot hesitate to assist you. To mark out the course which would be best to pursue to exterminate the evil which has gained such strength as to almost bid defiance to the combined efforts of all the host now enlisted in the temperance cause, would in mc be presumptions; fori feel myself completely inadequate to the task of even portraying in their true colours the evils which have fallen to the lot of suffering humanity through the use of alcoholic drinks. Men of splendid abilities and able pens have painted in the most vivid colours the woes which follow in" the train of intemperate indulgence, and we have statistics of unquestionable authority to show the amount of crime, and sorrow, and pauperism, which can be traced directly to this fountain head ; and still there are men who feel so little compunction at being engaged in the unhallowed traffic, as to sell �1843.)

Such would be the feelings of the natural man, but nothing like this is allowed. The Lord's ways are not as man's ways. As they valued Avor and their own peace, they not only to be patient under are their hardships, but to do what good they could to their oppressors. The same course in substance is prescribed by the apostles to christians under the bloody Nero. Can there then remain o shadow of doubt as to what the Lord would have those do who come to these shores from christian land*? This is the topic on which I propose to address you this evening, viz: the duties exhorte<s OF MKA, WHOCOMK FHOM CHRISTIAN LANDS 11, 18 H. 9 HONOLULU, quirement? The term " pence" is oae of wide and general signification in the scripture!; it means not only a tranquil state of society, free from war and disturbance, but prosperity in geueral. It is the same there- fore as though we were required lo seek the good, the prosperity, the general welfare of the people among whom we dwell. Let it be our aim not merely/to dwell among them peaceably, but to do them good by such means as are placed in our power. To he more specific, we are required by the word of God, I. To exercise a hearty good will towards the native inhabitants: in other words, to be tJo'ir cordial and substantial friends, and to cherish a disposition to do them good. This does not imply that we are bound to approve of the state of society around us, nor of the policy pursutd by the government : the Jews in Babylon were not required to do either of these; for the people around them were idolaters, and tho rulers were unfeeling despots; but with all a people's faults, we can and ought to exercise good feelings towards them; if we do not, it is idle to talk of seeking their welfare. Will a man seek the peace ofthe city while in his heart he feels no interest in its welfure, or perhaps wishes its ruin? The divine law is applicable hero which runs thus: " Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Is it asked,** who* my neighbor?" I answer, every member of the human family, of whatever color or condition, whether a friend or an enemy, is your neighbor; and ofcourse every native on the Sandwich Islands, high or low; and there is one debt which we all owe them, and that is "love." "Owe no man any thing but to Without this, wholeyer love one another we may attempt to do, or boast of having done, it is all sounding brass and tinkling cymbal." Here is the great prominent ex■.iKctice of Christianity, wherein it casts all false religions into the shade; it is a religion oflove; cordial, deep, sincere love. "Peace on earth, and good will towards meu»" was the description given of it by the angels themselves, on the plains of Bethlehem, when its divine author first appeared in our world—good-will not only to friends but to enemies. Were every native on the Sandwich Islands our enemy, it would still be our duty to be his friend, and to try to do him good. Neither does gospel charity confine itself to those who are worthy, decent and respectable; like a sweet angel of mercy it visits the abode* of poverty, filth and wretchedness; it goes to the house of mourn ing and affliction, and then passes on to tee PEACE."
