They consider the course of these persons to have been the very reverse of their profes-sions; - that so far from having "neg-lected no means or efforts to affect an amicable union." they have used their utmost exertions to prevent its accomplishment; that at Takato-ka every effort towards effecting that object was repulsed by them;- that when the people expressed their disap-pointment and dissatisfaction at the result of that council, and called a convention of the people of both par-ties, the attendance and co-opera-tion of their chiefs, and the members of the respective council was re-quired, but Brown & Rogers declined at-tending, and used all their influence
