whether true or false it would be no more than kings aud queens of more civilized landa have done time and again the sum suin and substance of the whole business is this having slaving recognized hawaii as a foreign pow power e r we ire had no right to interfere in her elections whether her queen ile be black or white lewd or chaste capable or incapable but having interfered the question arises shall we restore things just as we found them or leave one party in possession of the advantage 0 we ire wrongfully gave gave it that is the qu question 0 sti 1011 now under consideration in N
