LET THE PAKEHA AND THE MAORI BE UNITED.

Salutations to you friends the Maori people of New Zealand!  Chiefs and commoners, great and small, old and young salutations to you all !

It is customary among the Maories to welcome the advent of a stranger
With cries of Haere mai! Haere mai! The welcome is commenced with the approach of the visitor, and is prolonged until he has fairly entered the Kainga, Now therefore, the Manuhiri Tuarangi awaits the welcome of the Maori people.

Its advent is now publicly an

KIA WHAKAKOTAHITIA TE MAORI ME TE PAKEHA.

Tena ra koutou e hoa ma e nga tangata Maori o Niu Tirani  Te rangatira te tutua,  te iti te rahi, te pakeke te tamaiti, tena ra koutou katoa! 

Ki to te Maori ritenga ka puta mai he manuhiri ka pa te karanga Haere Mai!  Haere mai!  Tona kitenga tonutanga atu, kua timata te karanga a karanga tonu kia tomo mai ano ki te kainga a tahi ano ka mutumutu. Waihoki ko tenei e whanga ana  Te Manuhiri Tuarangi kia rangona atu te karanga a nga Iwi Maori

Tona putanga hoki tenei ka  panuitia nei ki te taringa o te iwi, a ko ratou e mea ana kia uru ki taua karanga manuhiri, me tuhituhi

announced and we invite those who would join in the cry of Haere mai! to write a short letter expressive of their views to be printed in our columns  so that all may see it. It will be asked by many What has become  of the  Maori Messenger  ?    Let the Manuhiri Tuarangi answer   

During eighteen years it has laboured unceasingly for the  good of the Maori    Month after Month it I has gone forth and traversed the country from Muriwhenua at the North to Rakeiura at the  South and from Coast to Coast  bearing on its pages the words of six successive Governors to Her Majesty's Maori subjects 

Its arrival has been announced at every Pa, it has found its way into every hut its pages have been fingered by almost if not every Maori throughout the length
and breadth of Aotearoa  It has been read by the Ngapuhi of the far North, it
has bee read by the Ngaitahu of the far South it has been read by the many tribes of the interior and to it has spoken the same friendly words of Counsel  

It has not been slow to  point out  and condemn the evils that exist among
the Maori  while at the same time it has given prominence to and encouraged what   was good It has steadily watched over the interest of the Maori and has ever endeavoured by timely and plain spoken advice to turn his feet into right direction and so to promote this moral well being as well as his social advancement 

We trust that these efforts have been altogether barren of results  This Paper    has always been read

with evident interest, and we believe that it has carried with it a very wholesome influence. It is impossible to say how far it may have been instrumental in restraining the evil disposed and encouraging the good and industrious to renewed effort in a right direction.

Sincethe first number of the Messenger issued  from the press important changes have taken  place among you. Then you were sunk in heathen darkness and subject to barbarous laws and usages; now you are in the enjoyment of  Christian
privileges and have for the most part, relinquished the cruel customs
of your forefathers for the just and humane laws of the, Pakeha,  then a
large section of you were enslaved to hostile tribes, now slavery is no
more, and the liberated captives have returned to their homes and kinsfolk, then you were generally poor and needy, clothed in a blanket and, subsisting oil fern-root and potato, now you are in the enjoyment of many of the comforts of
civilised life, and are fast acquiring European property. It is not for us
to determine how far the influence of the Messenger may have promoted this change in your condition Not withstanding, however, all that has been accomplished very much remains to be done. And now, in the place of the Messenger Whose arrival you have so often welcomed, the  Manuhiri Tuarangi and Maori Intelligencer is sent forth to instruct and enlighten you in all
matters affecting your welfare, and to afford you a  medium for the
full  and free expression of your opinions on all questions that may
concern or interest you.

FALSE RUMOURS

WE must again caution our Maori friends against giving credence to the many false rumours which reach them from time to time. Where or how these rumours originate it is often difficult to imagine but once afloat  all seem to help in their circulation by repeating them wherever they go  and often adding something
from  their own inventive imagination Our  readers will remember the story told them in the Messenger not very long ago about three black crows   Many of the

reports which find ready circulation among them would if traced to  their
origin prove to be very like this  wonderful story of the crows

We have just heard that there is a rumour abroad amongst the Natives to the effect that it is the intention of the Governor  when hostilities at
Taranaki have  been suppressed to seize on the lands of tribes who remained   peaceful  in order to meet the expenses of this war  The effect  of a rumour of this kind is very mischievous   If believed in  its tendency is to weaken the confidence of the friendly tribe s in the good faith of the Government and
to excite a false alarm    We therefore take this opportunity of  expressly 
contradicting it   The Governor has no such intention   The tribes  who remain neutral in the present struggle will not be molested in any way  The more intelligent Natives  must be aware of this  Any other course would be directly opposed to those principles of justice and equity which  have always regulated the conduct of the Government  in their dealings with the Native people

We regret that there are persons Who even take a delight in fabricating these evil reports and promoting their circulation Some do it from sheer and sinister motives   It is well therefore that the Natives should be on their guard against such  and not be too ready to believe a report  however unlikely in itself  simply because John or Thomas or William  has told them so  Before believing or even repeating any questionable statement that may reach them   let them ascertain whether it is true or false  This may be readily done by writing to the Governor  or

A PROOF  OF GOODWILL 

We have seen a letter from Pirihi Wakawa  Tomonui  of Kirikiriroa  in the Waikato respecting  Pakehas i who may be wandering about without food  among  the  native kaingas He expresses  his readiness to entertain for the  night any Europeans who may at any time be travelling in his neighbourhood  and he has requested that a general invitation to that effect be given through the medium
of the  Manuhiri We have much pleasure iti doing so  and doubt not that when Pirihi s hospitality becomes generally known he  will have many Pakeha visitors   We accept the invitation as an  expression of genuine goodwill towards the Pakeha 

The Maories of  the  interior have  always maintained a high character for kindness  and hospitality to strangers The only complaint we  have heard urged against them is that when they have opportunity they make exorbitant charges for ferrying Pakehas across the rivers We know of one case I where a  Native exerted from a traveller the out sum of one pound for paddling him across a narrow stream

This conduct is as cruel as it is unjust for the  victims are generally persons  of slender means and in many cases wholly dependent on what they carry on their person We do not mean to imply that this is a common practice but it nevertheless occurs often enough to give cause for serious complaint We

desire to call the attention of the Chiefs to this matter. It is their duty to prevent these abuses as far as possible among their respective tribes for it must be remembered that the cupidity of afew unprincipled men may if unchecked bring reproach on the people of a whole district We shall in future make it
our, duty to expose, any case of kind that may come to our knowledge.

CANTERBURY

Our latest reports from Canterbury are very satisfactory. The natives there, natives there though few in number, are peaceful, industrious and prosperous Towards the close of last year the principal native Chiefs of the district met the Provincial authorities in the Town Hall, Christchurch, and a very interesting and friendly interchange of views and opinions took place The natives condemned in strong terms the proceedings of Wiremu Kingi at Taranaki, and those adherents of the Maori King who have have come to his assistance
at the same time expressing much sympathy for the pakeha get settlers who have suffered by the war. 1

Full reports of this meeting have been sent to us, but our unusually heavy. press of matters has hitherto prevented their publication We hope to find room for them in our next issue. The Canterbury natives did not stop short with their expressions of sympathy. As an earnest of their sincerity they raised by subscription among themselves a, sum of about fifty pounds, and paid it into the hands of their , minister requesting him to forward it to the Treasurer
of the Taranaki Relief Fund as their free will offering to the destitute Pakehas.

The Kaiapoi people have adopted the wise plan of endowing their churches out of their land reserves. Last year they gave twenty acres to the Church of England foil church purposes and now they have determined on making a similar grant to the. Wesleyan Church A correspondent hag furnished us with the following report of their meeting where this matter was arranged.

On the 11th day of December last, a meeting of natives took place in the church at Kaiapoi. The people of Kaiapoi, of Rapaki, of Port Levy. And of other settlements were present, At 11am the Rev. Mr. Buller and the Rev. Mr. Stack arrived, the natives having previously assembled.. The meeting was opened with prayer, and then Mr Buller Addressed the people on the subject which had
brought them together. He was followed by Mr. Stack. after which speeches were delivered by John Paratene, Jacob Te Ataotu, Peter Te Dori, Albert Koti, Isaiah. Taihewa Hamuera, Horomona, Hopa Te Watikini, Pera, Hapakuku, and some others.
Two objects were brought before his meeting, viz.

1. To give to the Wesleyan Church a piece , of land equal iti extent to that bestowed on the Church of England last year the meeting has agreed that when the person appointed to subdivide the remaining block shall arrive this piece shall be pointed out. Ihaias charge.

2 To lay down rules for the two churches that they may e unite in purpose. Mr. Buller and Mr. Stack having expressed a desire to work i concert, and the Bishop having consented, it is now agreed that each settlement shall have but one place of worship for, the common use of both churches. The monitors for each settlement to the selected by both (acting in unison). The sacraments
of Baptism and the Lord s Supper to be administered to all by the minister of either church do that there may be no division (among the people). The plan proposed to be adopted in the churches has become clear. The Rev. Mr. Stack has been set apart wholly for the native work. This matter having been disposed of the natives brought forward a petition to the Provincial Council of Canterbury praying for the ,erection of a native hostelry at Christchurch. The signatures of all present were then affixed. The meeting closed its proceedings about 3P.M.

His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct that the following letter from the Motueka Natives (Ngatirarua) to Mr. Mackay, the Assistant Native Secretary at Collingwood and that gentleman's reply thereto, be published in the Manuhiri for general information

September 12th, 1860.

Depart our letter to Aorere to Mr. Mackay Friend, salutations to you, and to your European and Native friends This is our word to you about your thoughts which we have seen. You also enquire for our thoughts. We have not seen these. We have seen but one, which is for good alone. Friend, Mackay, let Satan stand on that Island, at Taranaki and God on Te Wai. Pounamu (Middle Island). We have, with our. friends the European , invited the women and children to come from the evils of Satan, to the place where God dwells, The Governor has appointed this Island to be the , Place of refuge ~e, a dwelling place for the children of Europeans and Maories God and the Queen will be their protectors for ever and ever. Friend Mackay, if, you think that our speech is good, let it be printed. If, there is any thing wrong in it, write to us that we may know what it is.

Salutations to you! I have received your letter. The words in it are good. They are very plain and distinct The only thought for us is, let there be good. Your speech that the evils of Satan should be left on the other Island, and that we should do the works of God, is correct. This is also the desire of the Government. Although the Maories of Taranaki are fighting against the Government, the Government have no dark

CHINA

The war with China is at length brought to a close The Peace Treaty with the English was Signed within tile walls of Pekin, the principal City, on, tire 24th November last and the Treaty with the French on the following day. The Chinese are to pay the sum of two millions six hundred thousand pounds, the Town of
Tien-tsin is to be in future tile consular port, and that part or Canton which is at present Occupied by the English is to be ceded permanently to them.

As few or our Maori readers know anything about China, or of the causes of the war, we propose to give them now a Short description of this vast Empire, together with all account of its invasion by England anti France, and the circumstances which led to it.

The Chinese Empire spreads over tile Eastern slope of the table lands of Central
Asia, it will probably be different for the Maori to form anything like an adequate idea of its vastness. Let him, however, imagine eighteen countries, each of them equal in extent to the whole of New Zealand and let them be arranged together

A KARU Te MANGUMANGU hoki, Kai whakawa Maori, i mate ki Pakanae, i to 14 o Hanuere. He tangata pai ia, he nui tana mahi ki te pehi i nga kino o tona kainga ki tenei, pouri ana te iwi katoa ki tona hemonga.

KO HAINA

Kua tae mai te rongo o to houhanga rongo ki Haina. No te 24 o nga ra o Noema,
o tera tau, ka takoto te Kawenata hohou rongo ki te Ingarihi, i tuhia ano ki te pa nui o Haina ki Pikini, a no te 25 o nga ra ka takoto hoki te Kawenata ki to Wiwi hei whakamutu i te whainga. Whakaritea ana kia utua e taua iwi o Haina, erua miriona, e ono rau mano pauna (hei utu mo tanamahi ki te whakatari pakanga, a ko tetahi o ona taone ko Tien tsin, hei nohohanga mo nga
kai whakarite o nga iwi ke; ko te wahi o Kaaatona e nohoia nei e te Ingarihi, e tukua rawatia ana mo Ingarani.

Tenei pea o matou hoa Maori te noho kuware nei ki te ahua o tenei whenua o Haina, ki nga take hoki o tenei whawhai koia matou ka mea ai, kia korerotia i konei taua whenua nunui, kia whakamaramatia hoki nga take i tomo atu ai te Ingarihi, raua tahi ko te Wiwi, ki reira whawhai ai.

Ko taua whenua, ko Haina, kei waenganui o nga whenua o Ahia, kei aua tuawhenua mania i te hekenga ki te rawhiti. Heoi, e kore pea e taea e te Maori te whakaaro te nui whakaharahara o tenei whenua. Engari iana ma te kupu Whakarite. Me
whakarite ki nga whenua tekau ma waru, kia rite ano ki Niu Tirani katoa tona nui to tetahi to tetahi na huihuia katoatia enei whenua te kau ma waru, ka ta hi ano ka rite tona nui ki to Haina, ara, kia tapawha te takoto, ko tetahi taha anake e tika ana ki te moana, Ka tahi

in a square, which is accessible by sea on one side only. This will give him some idea of this gigantic Empire.

The population of China is immense.By the last Census which was taken in 1812,
it contained more thin 360 millions of inhabitants! To enable the Maori to form
a correct idea or these numbers, lot us suppose that each of those eighteen countries like New Zealand, has a population of twenty millions (one million being about ten times the present population of New Zealand both Pakeha and Maori) then the people of all put together would equal that of China The upper frontier of this vast country hes away far North amid the snows, where the, reindeer abounds, the other boundary is far to the South, the beat is intense and the elephant is indigenous. Within these limits every production is found which is necessity to the comfort and luxury of man, wheat sugar, tea, coffee, silk, Cotton, etc. The population is spread over the whole territory but is denser in some parts than in others. Over this great nation there reigns one!
Emperor who is considered by his people, the vicegerent of Heaven, and whose will is law He is a despotic ruler, whom he will he kills and whom he will he keeps alive.

The great characteristic of the Chinese nation is their aversion to intercourse with foreigners. For many long centuries the Chinese empire, though considerably advanced, in civilisation, was hardly known to the rest of the civilised world.
While other, countries were enriching themselves by international commerce, the people or China kept the gates of their empire closed and confined their trade to themselves. But as the wealth or China became known to other national, commerce was commenced and gradually increased, notwithstanding the efforts Of the Chinese authorities to prevent it, till in 1859 they forcibly attempted to suppress the opium trade. A war with England immediately ensued, which lasted over two, years anti issued iti a Treaty, requiring Chinn to pay, to the English the sum of seven millions sterling, and- to open some of her ports to foreign commerce.

ano pea ka taea te whakaaro te nui o tenei whenua. Tona tangata hoki, mano tini No tera tauanga i te 1812, puta ana tona tini, nui atu i te 560 miriona! Rere, me kupu whakarite hoki i konei kia marama ai. Waiho ano ki otia whenua te kau ma waru e rite na ki Niu Tirani te nui o tetahi o etahi no, kia rua te kau miriona tangata ki tetahi ki tetahi (Ko te tikanga tenei o te miriona

mehemea e tua ngahurutia ana nga tangata 1 o Niu Tirani, te Pakeha, to Maori, ka tahi ano ka rite ki te miriona kotahi.) Na, ki to huihuia katoatia nga tangata o enei whenua katoa ka tahi ano ka rite ki to Haina tangata. Tona kaha i raro, to tenei whenua rahi kei waenga tonu i nga whenua huka, e nohoia ana e te reinitia, tona taha whakarunga nga kei roto kei nga whenua e pawera not ana
te ra, kei nga wahi e tupu na taua kararehe nui te erepata, koia kau te nui o tenei whenua. Poto katoa hoki i tenei whenua nga mea e ora ai te tangata, te witi, te huka, te ti, te kawhi, te hiriki, te miro, te aha te aha. Kotahi tono te Epera hei tumuaki mo tenei iwi nui o Haina a ki ta ratou, he tukunga
iho ia no te rangi waiho ia ko tana kupu hei ture mo te iwi. Kei a ia anake te tikanga nga mo te Iwi , ko tana e pai ai kia mate ka mate ko tana e pai ai kia ora ka Ora.Otira, ko tona tino ahua i whai ingoa ai tenei iwi. Ko tona noho mawehe i nga iwi katoa o te ao nei. Ahakoa kua tupu nui tenei iwi o Haina, nui noa atu nga tau e takoto ngaro ana tenei whenua kahore i rangona ki era :till atu whenua.Tera atu ano nga iwi e hokohoko ana tetahi ki tetahi e whakatupu pai ana i a ratou, nei ra ko tenei, ko te iwi o Haina, kati ana nga kuwaha tona whenua puritia ana te mahi hokohoko ki a ratou ake ano. Nawai a ka ata rangona
e nga iwi te nui me te pai o Haina, na timataia tonutia ana e ratou te mahi hokohoko. Te pai nga rangatira 0 Haina, pehipehi tonu ana ratou i tenei tikanga hou ara i te mahi hokohoko, na ko te nui haere ano tae noa ki te tau 1859 ka tahi ano ka tino puta te riri, ka mea ratou kia whakamutua iho te hokohoko ki te opiama. Na, ka waiho tenei hei take whawhai ki Ingarani. Tae rawa ki te rua o nga tau e whawhai tonu ana tona mutunga i mutu ai, tuhituhia ana to Kawenata
o te houhanga rongo kia pumau, whakaritea ana nga utu. ma Haina ki te Ingarihi, e whitu rawa miriona pauna, a ko etahi hoki o ona kainga kia tuwheranuitia mo te hokohoko ki tawahi. Heoi, te pono te mahi o nga rangatira o Haina i runga i tenei Kawenata kua takoto, kawekawe ke ona i nga tikanga a tae noa ki te tau 1856, ka tino whakahengia e ratou. Na, no te tau 1857, ka


Put the Chinese authorities never lost an opportunity afterwards of evading the terms of this treaty, and in 1856 it was openly violated by them In 1857 hostilities commenced and Canton was captured by  the .English. In the following year, the four great powers, England, France, America, and Russia, sent ambassadors to China to insist on a renewal or the Treaty.  Meeting wit It resistance they captured the Chinese works at the mouth of the Peiho, and took the Town *of Tien-tsin, when the Chinese 1 came to terms. After long negotiation a Treaty  with each of these Nations separately was entered into and signed by the Emperor. The English Treaty secured to all British subjects the right- or travelling to any part of the Empire of China for trading pill-poses, and, amongst other provisions. "entitled the British Minister to a residence in Pekin, the Imperial City. But in June 4859, when a British Ambassador was proceeding to Pekin in accordance with the stipulation s or the Treaty he was received as an enemy, and his ships fired upon front the Chinese rolls. Three or the vessels were destroyed and 464 British officers and men slain and wounded! Notwithstanding 1 that the Chinese Emperor had himself signed the Treaty only twelve months before, the ships of the English were thus treacherously attacked when oti a peaceful mission to Pekin, the place appointed for residence of the British Minister Treaty of peace had been wickedly violated by the Chinese, and the English and French at once prepared to send out a fleet of men-of-war and an army of soldiers to demand satisfaction. Accordingly in the early part  of last year some ten thousand troops were sent to China from England and about the same force front France, with a fleet of vessels or both nations. We have already told our readers, of the very successful issue or the campaign which followed 

We have not room here to follow the allied forces in all their movements, but as it will be interesting to see how a comparatively small force of English and French brought the great Chinese nation to terms we will give a short account, or their principal operations.

On the 5th July the French and Cochin Chinese had a pitched battle in which the French retreated. On the 1st August the

allied forces landed near to tile Pehtang Southern Fort, intending to storm it, but finding both this and the Northern Fort deserted, they entered without resistance took possession or them and quartered themselves in tile City of Pehtang. Pehtang is said to contain a population of 90,000 inhabitantsOn the 12th the allied forces advanced on the entrenched Camp which was situated midway between Pehtang and Taku. On their approach tile Tartar cavalry came out to meet them. The Britishimmediately charged utterly routing and dispersing tile Tartars, who fled in all directions. The allies then stormed and took tile Camp, the enemy retiring and entrenching themselves in some neibouring villages. From these they were dislodged and were pursued until they took shelter under the walls of the Taku Fort. At daylight on the 14th the allies advanced on Tohu. A heavy fire immediately opened upon them from the Chinese batteries, but these were at length silenced by the Royal Artillery and about 11 o clock after a hard fight, the storming parties gained a footing on the walls and took the Garrison.

On the 21st an attack was commenced on tile great North Forts by a force composed of 1500 English and the same number of French troops with a heavy train of siege Artillery. The gun-boats or tile allied forces advanced to [lie mouth of the river and pitched shell and rockets into the fort all succeeded in blowing up tile principal magazine. The enemy kept up a heavy fire from their batteries, but at length the allies, after a long and sore fight, Succeeded
in storming the fort The total loss of the English on this, occasion was 211 of tile French 150. In the afternoon, or tile same day tile remaining Northern forts surrendered a truce of four hours having been granted themto consider tile matter and in tile evening the Governor-General of Pecheli held a Conference with tile allies at Taku and unconditionally surrendered tile Southern forts on a cessation of hostilities being granted. Tile Chinese force
at these forts is estimated at 25,600 men.

These were the same forts which in June I 1858 fired upon the vessels or tile English Ambassador, as we have already described. The allied forces now worked their way tip towards Pekin, tile principal City, and tile residence of the Emperor. On the 2nd October they bid taken possession of one of the gates of Tangehou, and placed Artillery on the walls. On the 7th they captured tile Emperor's Summer Palace, near to Pekin, and found there silver to the value or $30,000 besides much other treasure. it .was found that the Emperor bad left Pekin and fled towards Tartary.

The Chinese now sued for peace, but tile Commander or the English forces refused to entertain conditions until the English prisoners still in their binds had been given up. They accordingly sent eight prisoners into tile Camp, with a promise that the others, at a distance from' Pekin, should he given
up as soon as possible. On the 13th preparations were made for the bombardment
of Pekin unless it should surrender by noon. Immediately before the given period expired, Hong Cha, the chief Minister, came out and handed over the keys of the gates in token of surrender. The outer and inner gates were at once taken possession of, and a portion of the allied force was quartered on the walls or Pekin and tile flags of England and France were hoisted on the Chinese ramparts!

The Emperor having thus surrendered the war was at a close, and another Treaty
Was entered into, the principal terms of which, we have already stated.
