“The Fourth - Our neighbors, the Advertiser and Gazette, reported most fully the proceedings of the Fourth of July. The American portion of the foreign community made most generous provision for the due observance of the day. Never was the day observed upon so extensive and expensive a style on the Sandwich Islands. A general invitation was issued for all foreigners to occupy a seat at the amply supplied tables.
The Rev. Dr. Gulick was orator of the day, and a most eloquent oration was delivered by him. It has been published, together with several other appropriate addresses, in reply to the usual sentiments on such occasions. In the oration of Dr. Gulick, there was one thought that merits repetition, until Brother Jonathan [Yankees or New Englanders] and all other members of the Uncle Sam’s large family, at home and abroad, shall act in accordance with the suggestion:
“Brother Jonathan may and must now give over the swaggering of his younger years. He is no longer an untried youth. He is a man and a Power on this earth. Let him put his hat squarely on his head, and walk like a man among men. He need not bully and body, but he may only [ill.] on fair pay.” - The Friend, Honolulu.”
