THE MAORI MESSEGER.

TE KARERE MAORI.
Vol..V.] AUCKLAND, FEB. I5. 1858.  AKARANA, PEPUERE 15, 1858. [No 3.
THE present number of the "Karere"
contains a proclamation of his Excellency
the Governor having reference to the distur-
bances at Taranaki. We shall here endea-
vour to explain its meaning and object to our
Maori readers and the motives which have
led the Governor to issue it.
Since August 1854 the Taranaki natives
have been engaged in a deadly feud. Its
origin, as is well known, was the death of
Rawiri Waiaua  who was shot by Katatore
while attempting to cm a boundary on land
in dispute between them. For more than three
years hostilities bad been going  on, many
lives bad been sacrificed. The government
had not thought fit to interfere because the
Taranaki natives were not sufficiently en-
lightened to understand English law, or
to give their support in carryrng it out.
TENA kei tetahi o nga wharangi o te Karere
nei be Panuitanga na Te Kawana mo te
whainga Maori ki Taranaki; na, he whakaatu-
atu tenei na matou i nga tikanga o taua
Panuitanga kia mohio ai o matou hoa
Maori, kia mohio ai hoki ratou ki o te
Kawana whakaaro i tukau ai e ia taua Pa-
nuitanga.
No Akuhata, i te tau 1854, i te whawhai
tonu nga Maori o Taranaki, a, taea noatia
tenei takiwa ko te take e mohiotia ana e nga
tangata katoa, ko ia ra hoki ko te matenga
o Rawiri  Waiaua, i mate ia Katatore, he
mea pupuhi nana i te mea e para ana i te
rohe i runga i te whenua tautohetohe na
raua. Ka: ora nga tau i whawhai tonu ai,
be tokomaha nga tangata kua mate. Kaore
te Kawanatanga! poka ki tana whainga aha
ai ranei aha ai ranei; he mea hoki kahore
ano i marama noa nga whakaaro o nga
tangata o Taranaki ki nga Ture o Ingarani
a, na te kore mohio ekore hoki ratou e uru
ki te hapai ki te whakamana i aua Ture.
Me he mea i pera ta tetahi Pakeha mea-
tanga rae ta Katatore; kua pa te whiu o te
Ture ki a ia, Na, Ekore te Pakeha e tukua
kia mau patu kia whawhai tetahi ki tetahi,
kia pera me nga Maori i whawhai ra ki
Taranaki i te rapunga utu mo Rawiri, Me
he Pakeha i aro ki te pera ka pa te whiu o

TE KARERE MAORI.
Had an Englishman done what Katatore did
the  law would have punished him. English-
men would not be allowed to take up arms
and fight among themselves as was done by
the Taranaki natives to avenge  the death of
Rawiri. The law would punish any person
who should attempt to do so. Every hostile
encounter between the contending parties-
Taranaki was a breach or the law. The
Maories do not yet understand this. The
Governor did not interfere Iast his doing so
might increase the difficulty. It was hoped
that the evil might end sooner if the Maories
were left to themeves they were therefore
only urged by the Governor to make peace
and bury the past They were also required
to confine the quarrell to themselves and not
interfere with the settlers. Of late there
seemed reason to think that peace would be
restored  and that both parties were tired of
toe contest. While indulging this hope we
are startled by the news of another and more
frightful murder.  Katatore and his com-
panions are waylaid, savagely murdered by
Ihaia's agents on the public road, before the
eyes or the pakeha settlers, on land which
has  been acquired by the Government.
Hostilities are resumed, the flames of strife
nge more fiercely than before. Blood is
spilt on land which the Queen has granted.
This cannot be allowed to pass in
silence. The Governor has therefore spoken
his word. He still says " I shall not inter-
fere. Both parties are doing wrong, but it
is net my present intention to employ force
against either while they keep outside the limits
of the English settlement, but I will allow
neither to come armed within these limits. I
will not permit fighting in my presence."
The proclamation of which we have spoken
is issued to let the Taranaki tribes and all
persons ia New Zealand know that the
Governor will not suffer fighting parties to
come with the  boundaries of the settlement
as recited in the Schedule. If they come
after this warning their doing so will be
regarded as an act or hostility and defiance.
The Magistrates will proceed against any so
acting, and if resistance  is offered then the
aid or the Military will be called in. The
object of this is to protect the peaceable
subjects of  the Queen and to prevent their
becoming involved through accident or
te Tare ki a ia. Konga parekura katoa i
tu ki Taranaki he takahi katoa i te Ture.
Kahore ano nga Maori i mohio noa ki tenei.
Na i kore ai a Te Kawana e peke kei nui
haere te raruraru, Tohu noa hoki, tena e oti
wawe me he mea ka waiho ma ratou ake
ano e whakaoti. Na, heoi ta te kawanatan-
ga i mea ai, be tohe matire i a Tatou kia
houhia te rongo kia tanumia nga he kua
pahure atu ra kia ngaro. 1 mea ano hoki
te kawanatanga kia waiho kia ratou ano to
ratou nei whawhai, kaua rawa e poka noil
ki nga Pakeha, heoi ta te Kawana. Na, i
muri nei kua mea te whakaaro meake
houhia te rongo. meake tau ano te rangi-
marie kua hoha nga tangata ki te whawhai.
Penei noa ana te whakaaro, oho rere ana i
te rongo i puta mai nei, he kohuru kino
whakaharahara ano.  Ko Katatore kua
kohurutia kinotia he mea haupapa na nga
tangata a Ihaia, he mea kohuru kino ki te
huarahi e takahia tonutia ana e nga tangata
katoa, ki te aroaro tonu o te Pakeha, a, ki
ruma hoki ki te whenua kua riro i te
Kawanatanga. Na kua ara ano te whawhai,
kua tino mura ano te ahi, ara te riri, mahue
rawa tera o mua, Na, ekore e taea te titiro
wahangu tonu atu. Na, kua puta te kupu a
te Kawana i runga i tenei wahi.  Ko tana
tenei. E mea tonu ana, Ekore au e peke
atu; e rua enei iwi, he he anake, ko tenei e
kore  tetahi, tetahi e ahatia e aku hoia e aku
tangata, ki te kore ratou e haere mai ki to
te Pakeha kainga whawhai ai, erangi e kore
rawa ratou e tukua e au kia mau patu ratou
ki roto ki nga rone o te Pakeha, kia haere
mai ki taku aroaro whawhai ai, Ko te pa-
nuitanga e korerotia atu nei kua tukua kia
mohio ai nga iwi o Taranaki me nga  tangata
katoa hoki o Niu Tireni ekore e tukua e te
Kawana nga taua kia haere mai ki roto i

apititia ki te panuitanga; a, ki le tohe ratou
ki te baere mai i muri iho i tenei whakatu*

otherwise, If the tribes who are resolved
upon carrying on this contest do not wish to
be treated as enemies of the Queen let them
keep outside the boundaries named . The
Governor has called upon them to cease
their strife. They have  not obeyed. He
now says "You shall not fight before my
face upon the land which the Queen has
granted to her peaceable subjects and when
they have a right to ask for her protection
We think it, unlikely that this proclama.
tion will have to be put in force against any
of the Taranaki natives both because the
retreat of Ihaia to the Waitara has removed
the scene or hostilities, And also. because we
believe neither parly wishes to involve the
Europeans. We hope, however, that our
readers will now understand the natives 
which have induced His Excellency to issue
it. That it is his wish to prevent strife
between; the Pakeha and the Maori. He is
greatly pained to see the Maories at Tara-
naki and other places quarrelling and killing
each other. He would suppress these feuds
if be could do so without risk of aggravating
the evil by interference. But until the
majority of the people a re sufficiently enlight-
ened to see the advantage of interposing the
authority of the Queen for this purpose;
until they are sincerely desirous that this
should be done and are prepared to assist,
be can not attempt it. His Excellency would
gladly see the Maori people generally will-
ing that the Queen's authority should be
thus interposed,  believing that it would be
greatly for their own benefit. We
add a word of caution. Do not listen to
idle reports or believe that any change can
take place in the intentions of the Queen's
Government towards the Maori people.
The Governor will always be their protector
and friend. He can not better shew himself
to be so than by taking care to prevent strife
between the Pakeha and the Maori. This is
a principal object io issuing the Proclama-
tion have tried to explain.

tend. The Ngaitonu have lost it men in
two encounters and the Ngatiawa 2 besides
many wounded on both sides . How is it
that the chiefs of these tribes do not see that
by allowing these dissensions about land to
grow to actual strife they are destroying
themselves. Of what use will the laud be
when the men who should occupy and culti-
vate it are gone! What advantage do either
party look for from prolonging this contest?
mens lives are sacrificed and the probability
is that the question at issue will remain un-
settled as before. When disputes arise about
land the chiefs should try to arrange the
matter amicably between themselves and if
unable to do so, let both parties retire and
leave the question Tor decision at some fu-
ture time when it may be hoped their child-
ren or successors will have adopted some
better mode of testing a claim than that of
trying which party can send the greater
number of their opponents out of the world
If we were asked to name the Maori's great-
est enemy we are afraid we must say Himself.
We believe the" Ngatiwhakaue are con-
nected with the Ngaitonu but hope they will
not allow themselves to be mixed up in this
quarrel. Let the Ngaiiwhakaue chiefs
rather use their influence to restore peace.
The chief Topine Tukihaumene has generally
given his word for peace—we hope be will
do so in the present. These men who make
and preserve peace are the wisest and best
deserve the title of chiefs. Let the Ngaitonu
and Ngatiawa chiefs think of this.
We hear the Tuhourangi have refused to
join in this dispute.

0 FATHER THE GOVERNOR, —
We have heard that you shortly intend
coming to the Bay of Islands for the purpose
of seeing us the Ngapuhi people. Therefore
we now cry Welcome! Welcome! Come
and view the Flagstaff which will soon be
erected at Maiki; it was we who cast it
down, and we will raise it again. We have
beard that the Eurupeans here have sent a
memorial to you for the purpose of having a
Township formed on this side, that is, the
west side of the Bay of Islands. We con-
sent to this proposition, that is to have a

A considerable degree of anxiety for the
arrival of the English mail for December,
(which may shortly be looked for,) prevails;
inasmuch, as upon the subsidence or the
money and mercantile crisis, which had so
fearfully disorganised the principal States of
Europe and Amerlca, much of the immedi-
ate prosperity of this and the neighbouring
colonies must necessarily depend . A great-
er degree of commercial dulness than that
which now exists in Auckland we have never
witnessed,—not even when California, and
subsequently, Australia were drawing our
population to their golden shores. We hope
ere long, that we may be enabled to present
a brighter picture of affairs.

THE MAORI MESSENGER.
TE KARERE MAORI.
The departures  coastwise. during the past
fortnight have amounted to 41 vessels of
1296 tons, with 99 passengers, and the usual
coasting cargoes.,.  
The barque William Watson, 480 tons,
Capt Brown, is rapidly loading with wool,
oil, kauri gum, copper ore, and other pro-
duce for London. When we shall see ten
or a a dozen ships instead of one taking
away the productions of the country in pay-
ment of the European goods they bring into
it, then indeed we may look to behold New
Zealand developing some of the qualities of a
great and prosperous country.
The ships Joseph Fletcher and Bride both
from London with goods and passengers may
be immediately looked for, as well as a troop
ship with a reinforcement of 200 soldiers
and munitions for the 58th Regimenrt.
