AFFAIRS AT TARANAKI.
His Excellency the Governor, it will be
remembered, recently look his departure
from Auckland, on board H. M. S. Iris, with 
the intention of paying a visit to the South-
ern Provinces. His Excellency landed at
Taranaki, purposing to proceed  from thence
overland, by way of Whanganui, to Welling-
ton, whither the Iris went on to receive him.
His Excellency, however, was afflicted with
severe sickness, and was under the necessity
of returning to Auckland, from New Ply-
mouth, by the steam ship Lord Worsley.
During his stay  at Taranaki, his Excellency
held a meeting of the  Natives of that Prov-
ince, of which we have received the follow-
ing particulars:—
On the 8th instant, the Governor held a
Native meeting near the Land Purchase
Office.
His Excellency, on arrival, was received
and welcomed by about 150 natives using
the words, ~
" Welcome stranger," &c.

THE MAORI MESSENGER 2 TE KARERE MAORI.
After a short speech from Tahana, Native
Assessor, in allusion  to the late feuds, His
Excellency addressed the  natives, through
the Native Secretary to the following effect:
The Governor wished them to understand and
that the Queen regards   equally all her  sub- 
jects; that all her Governors have had,and
would have the same instructions,  viz,; to do
their utmost  to promote the welfare   of her
subjects without distinction or race. The
Governor proceeded to say that the  Mission-
aries imparted to the Maoris  the  blessings or
Christianity, and translated the Bible for their
use. It was not in the power of man to
confer any other gift which would bear
comparison with that of the Bible;  but, our
of regard for the natives, His Excellency had
caused an abstract of -English law to be
translated into Maori. He had no wish to
enforce this law; on the contrary, it would
only be put in force in those districts where
the people are wise enough to desire it, and
prepared to carry it into effect themselves.
Some tribes in the North  had already desired
to have English law; and a Magistrate had
been appointed to instruct them how to put
it into practice. They were now engaged in
doing so, with every prospect of becoming a
peaceful and prosperous people, and uniting
themselves with the Pakeha. This tribe is
the Ngapuhi. The Governor then, said he
had but two subjects on which he desired to
speak, particularly  to the tribes living near
Taranaki, and they were—
tenei, kia mahara nga "Maori e rite  tonu ana
te aroha me te atawhai o Te Kuini ki ana
tangata katoa,  ahakoa Maori, ahakoa Pakeha.
Rite tonu  ana ona tikanga ki o nga Kawana
katoa kua hoki, a ko aua tikanga tahi ano e
puta i nga Kawana i muri i a ia, ara, kia
tino whakatupuria he painga me ona iwi ka-
toa. ahakoa Pakeha ahakoa Maori.  Ki ana
te Kawana, na nga Mihanare i kawe  mai nga
painga o te Whakapono mo te Maori,  na
ratou hoki i whakamaori   nga  Karaipiture,
otira he aroha no te Kawana ki nga Maori i
meinga ai kia whakamaoritia tetahi wahi o
nga Ture o Ingarangi, hei taonga hoki mo
ratou; ta nga "Maori taonga nui, he pounamu;
ta matou, ko te Whakapono ko nga Ture.
E hara i te mea he tohe nana kia tangohia
rawatia tenei Ture e nga tangata  katoa,
engari hei nga kainga i paingia ai e ratou
ana Ture, he mea tika kia tangohia, kia wha-
kanuia, kia whakaritea tahitia e ratou.
Kua whakaae ke etahi o nga Iwi o raro kia
tangohia nga Ture Pakeha hei Ture mo ratou,
a kua whakaritea tetahi Kai whakawa Pakeha
hei ako i a ratou kia mohio ai ratou ki tenei
mahi. Kei te mahi ratou i tenei mahi inai-
anei, me te tupu haere ano to ratou matau-
ranga, me to ratou marietanga,  me to ratou
I rangatiratanga, me to ratou kotahitanga ko
te Pakeha. Ko te ingoa o tenei Iwi ko Nga-
puhi.

if the  Judge had sentenced him to be hanged,
he would have caused him to be hanged;
that he had not thought proper o arrest
Ihaia, because though the murders to which
he was a party were horrible and disgraceful,
yet they admitted of some extenuation, inas-
much as they were committed in retribution
for the  murder of Rawiri. All this, how-
ever, belongs to the past; but, for the future,
he had determined that every man (whether
he be "Maori or Pakeha) who may commit
any violence or outrage within the European
boundaries shall be arrested and taken before 
the Judge; and the sentence of the Judge,
whatever it may be, shall be carried into of
feet. He was determined that the peace of
Ihe settlers should no longer  he disturbed
by evil doers, and that those Maories who
are not content to live in peace among the
Pakehas had better go elsewhere.
In reference to the second subject, the 
Governor said he thought the  Maories  would
be wise to sell the land they cannot use them-
selves, as it would make what they could use
more valuable than the whole; but that he
never would consent, to buy land without, an
undisputed title. He would not permit any
one to interfere in the saIe of land, unless
he owned part of it; and  the other hand,
be would buy no man's land without his
consent.

na ka takoto tona tikanga, katahi ka mau pu

ekore rawa ratou o tukua kia whakakino noa.
i te kainga o nga Pakeha; na, ko nga Maori
ekore e pai kia noho tahi me nga Pakeha i
runga ano i te rangimarietanga, me haere

Ko te tuarua o nga kupu a Te Kawana, ko
te Whenua; ki tana whakaaro, engari me
hoko nga whenua takoto kau ekore nei e taea
te ngaki e te Maori; he mahi mohio rawa
tenei, inahoki katahi ka hira ake te pai o
nga whenua e toe ana ki a ratou, otiia ekore
ia e whakaae kia hokona he whenua tautohe.
Ekore ano hoki e tukua tetahi tangata poka
noa te tupeke ki runga ki to te tangata whe-
nua, ki te kahore ona wahi ki taua whenna.
Ekore ano hoki e hokona te whenua o tetahi
tangata mo he mea kahore ano taua tangata
i whakaae.
