C'orscu.uinx ami I)r.i.r.(iATi, Mkmiikhs
ok rm: CostTiriTtosvi. Cosu.s
tios in 1MM:
In calling tho Convention to order,
1 ask your attention to some mat
ters relating to the work for which
ynu have come togethur.
The delay which the project of
political onion between Hawaii and
tho United States of America has
experienced has brought up the
question of modifying the present
provisional system in order to give
the Government a permanent form,
aud to more fully introduce the
principle of representation by the
people.
Tito subject ha been carefully
considered, both from the stami
i point of tile re'poiiHibility of tlio
Executive and Advisor) Councils,
, ami that of the ritrlits of the poople
j "!. " necessities of the case; and
I while such u change is imperatively
demaudod by an intelligent public
j sentiment, it also appears consonant
I with our situation, which is natu
rally favorable to the growth of free
inatittitioD!).
This bt-itiK i-oncodtxl it boonino
nncnnHary to (locklo w hot lit' r to reach
tho doairt'tl rostilt by taking tho pre
sent aystotn aa a basis anil bnililing
upon that, or by wholly roorgaul.
iiiK tho Goiurutnont.
The lattor intithod wat ailoptoil
as KviK more frtxMloin of action
ami a butter opportunity for ostab
lirihinp a sysbMii stiitotl to national
couilitions.
Tho (uiation of l ho composition
of tho Convention to bo cullod for
making a now constitution was a
porplexiuK om; for while it was
ilesirud to haio diroct popular rt
prcaoutatiou to as groat an extent as
might bo possible, tho Councils felt
that they could not, consistently
with tho trust imposed upon them
by tho proclamation of January 17,

whole responsibility iu an enterprise
so vital to the future welfare of tho
country. It was therefore decided
to confide the work to a lody made
up of the Councils aud elected delo
gates
I I need hardly remind you of the
ilitlleult and delicate character of
i the duty which the Couteutiou is
I called upon to perform. The moil
I arcliy, after a period of decadence
i which was thrcateniiiK and prejudi
cial to all public and private uite
rests, camo to a logical end through
its own plot to turn back the move
meiit of public progress and to sub
jugate all national energies and
i aspiration in the intere-t of despo
tism, This attempt conferred upon that
. portion of the community who were
' in sympathy with tho political devel
opment of the Mate as an organisa
tion, both the right ami the duty to
intercept the threatened retrograde
movement, fur no part of a nation
' which has tuado progress in civilia
I tiou has a right to drag the other
,
tart back to barbarism; aud no ruler
on ' r
tas the right to initiate such a re
lapse, relviuc upon the iudiHWotieo
I or vwtnt of political sense of a por
tion of I he population. Those who
I submit without protest to such a
scheme, th.truby confess t hoi i inabi
lity lo accomplish or defend their
own civilization, and surrender the
task to those who ate willing to do
It for them.
