THE MAORI MESSENGER.
TE KARERE MAORI.
VOL. VII.l AUCKLAND, APRIL 30, I860.—AKARANA, APERIRA 50, 1860. [No. 8.
The fullest information with respect to the
disturbed state of Taranaki has been published
in the "Messenger" for the special perusal of
our native readers. If those publications which
contained an exact and true narrative of the
origin of the present question between the
Government and W. Kingi te Rangitake, have
been carefully read by right thinking natives,
the recent hostile demonstrations on the part of
some of the Rangiaohia and Kawhia natives may
well occasion them feelings of uneasiness.
Calm and deliberate consideration must, how-
ever, make it apparent to all that there can be
little to gain but much to lose by countenancing
W. King's folly, or endorsing the murders
recently committed by Ngatiruanui and Taranaki
natives. What harm had the pakehas done to
those tribes? The answer is, not any. We
repeat it—not any, and challenge contradiction.
Without the slightest provocation those mean
people invaded the pakeha territory, plundered
and burnt their houses, stole their cattle, devas-
tated their farms, and cruelly murdered three
unarmed settlers and two little boys! The
latter were literally hacked to pieces. By
whom were the little boys hacked to pieces?
By men? Yes, by men, nearly all of whom
have hitherto regularly assembled for Christian
worship on the Sabbath day.
Ko nga korero mo nga mahi whakaoho-
oho e mahia nei ki Taranaki, kua oti te
korero ki te Karere Maori hei tirohanga ma
o matou boa Maori. Kei ena nupepa
e mau ana te korero pono me nga tikanga
o tera whawhai, o te Kawanatanga o. Wire-
mu Kingi Te Rangitake, me tona putake i
tupu ake ai. Na, me he mea kua ata kore-
rotia mariretia aua korero e nga tangata
Maori whakaaro tika tena e awangawanga
te ngakau ki te mahi whakatupu whawhai
o etahi o nga tangata Maori o Rangiawhia o
Kawhia, kua rangona nei i roto i enei ra.
Ki te ata huri huri marire, ka marama tenei
whakaaro i nga tangata katoa, ara, kahore
he pai e hua mai i runga i te whakauru, ki
te mahi kuare a Wiremu Kingi i runga ra-
nei i te whakatika ki te mahi kohuru a Nga-
tiruanui a Taranaki, engari he kina anake
ona hua, He aha koia te hara o te Pakeha
ki era iwi? Kahore kau, a ka tuaruatia ano
e matou tenei kupu, kahore kau ra he hara
o te Pakeha. Kahore he take kahore he aha,
i whakauka pokanoa ai era iwi tutua. Heoi,

TE KARERE MAORI.
We invite the attention of our Maori readers
to the following letter from Wi Tako Ngatata
addressed to the Waikato Chiefs by whom he
was requested to inquire and report. He says,
" This wrong belongs to W. Kingi." " Another
wrong belongs to Taranaki, greater than all the
evils of the world."
Waitoki, Taranaki,
April l0, 1860.
This is my message to Waikato, that Waikato
may understand the character of this foolish
work at Taranaki. I arrived here and have
ascertained the causes of this war. Enough of
this.
Another word: my message is to Tikaokao,
chief of Tongaporutu, to te Wetini, chief of
Tarariki, to Takerei of the Kauri, to Hikaka of
Papatea, Io Reihana of Whataroa, to te Wetini
of Hangatiki, to Eruera of Mohoaonui, to te
Paetai of Huiterangiora, to Heuheu of Taupo,
to Paerata of the Papa, to te Ati of Arohena, to
Epiha of Kihikihi, to Ihaia of Hairini, to Hoani
of Rangiawhia, and Hori te Waru, to Tamihana
of Tamahere, to Rewi of Ngaruawahia—to all
of you.  You requested me to investigate the
subject and send you the truth. Friends, this
wrong is William King's. Another wong has
been committed by Taranaki greater than all
the evils that have been done in the land. (This
refers to the murders committed by the Tarana-
kis at New Plymouth.) Let your thoughts be
true to the words [or pledges] given to me by
you and which we considered to be right.
Friends, the work which you have to do is that
which is right and that only. Don't you look
towards the foolish works of this land. Friends,
listen to me.—Former days were days of error,
Ite days that succeeded were days of truth; let
this be your only work to obey the word of the
Great Father ia Heaven, which is a line that has
one end above and the other reaching down to
the earth. That is the fighting for us, be true
to your agreement with me. Friends, listen to
me. The cause of this war is the land only.

No Taranaki tetahi he, nui atu i nga kino

Ko te hoa riri tena mo tatou, kia pono

From your true friend in the Lord,
from
Wi TAKO NGATATA.
Now read the letter written by Mahau Tura-
kino, Pairama, Ihaka, and Wikawaho, in which
they also censure in the strongest manner W.
King's interference with the piece of land sold
by Te Teira. These men live in Taranaki, and
well know Ihe merits of the case.
Taranaki, April 24, 1860.
Go away this our letter to Auckland. When
you arrive seek out the Governor, and when
you find him salute him and weep with him.
Friend, beloved friend, the father, we salute
you, your body, your lace, our love to you is
very great. Enough of this. We have a word
to you, because we have seen the map that
William King has deceitfully prepared and sent
to the King and the runanga of Waikato, of
Ngatipaoa, of Ngatimaru, of Ngatihaua, of Nga-
tipakura, of Ngatimaniapoto, of Ngatihikairo.
Let all those tribes listen to us. The represen-
tations of William King respecting this piece of
land in question are wrong, very wrong, alto-
gether wrong, according to our knowledge, and
we are the men who lived on that same piece
called Onatiki. He [W. King] may know some-
thing about Waitara, i. e., about the place he
has seen and cultivated, where he was bred and
grew up to manhood, about that place he may
be allowed to know something, but let him not
publish that which is error only, lest nothing
but evil be all him and all the tribes he is calling
Na to koutou hoa pono i roto i te Ariki,

pu ana ratou ki nga tikanga o tenei mea.
 Taranaki, Aperira 24, 1860.
 Haere atu e tenei reta ki Akarana. E tae

ka mihi atu ka tangi atu. E hoa e te hoa

pukapuka a Wiremu Kingi i tuhituhi tini-
hanga atu ki te Kingi ki nga runanga o
Waikato, o Ngatipawa, o Ngatimaru,
o Ngatihaua, o Ngatipakura, o Nga-

mai enei iwi, e koutou katoa, e he ana te
tikanga a Wiremu Kingi mo taua pihi, he

kei pohehe kau ia, kei mate kau ia, me nga
iwi e karangatia ana. E te tangata tinihanga

In addition to the above the following
genealogical table is submitted for the further
information of our native readers, many of whom
will  likely recollect the names of the former
occupants of Waitara. 
 This is the genealogy of the ancestors who
have owned Waitara from the beginning.
Friends, men of the North, of the South, or
ihe distant coast, hear what I have to say. My
hand is my own, say not it is land I have stolen.
i.e. the land I offered to the Governor.  Say not
that it belongs to William King. No, it is mine,
He [W. King] never had a claim to this piece of
land. It was mine, it came to me from my

TE KARERE MAORI.
 The course taken by His Excellency in
reference to the Waitara purchase was not
entered upon hastily. In the Maori Messenger
of March 31, 1859, page 3, the following
paragraph will be found:—
"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 sale of land, unless he owned
a part of it, and on the other hand, he would
bay no man's land without his consent." Could
any thing be more just and reasonable? Cer-
 tainly not.
The above was published and widely circu-
lated amongst the natives more than twelve
months ago.
On His Excellency's arrival at Taranaki, he
gave W. Kingi an opportunity to withdraw his
opposition, which the latter rejected
The Governor still avoided doing anything
that might wear the aspect of a desire for hos-
tilities, and no action was taken by him until W.
Kingi caused a pa to be built on the Queen's
land—that pa could not be permitted to stand,
and was therefore knocked to pieces, but its
occupants were allowed to retire.
What was the return made for this generous
treatment of an  enemy by W. Kingi's friends
and allies? It was this. The Ngatiruanui and.
Taranaki natives invaded the Omata district,
twelve miles south of Waitara, plundered and
burnt houses, murdered three unoffending
settlers, and two little boys.
These are the facts, we leave our readers to
form their own conclusions.

MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 16TH TO THE 30TH APRIL.
There have been two arrivals from Sydney,
and intelligence from the several ports of
Australia and Tasmania, since our last num-
ber. From what we have been able to learn,
it would appear that although the flour mar-
ket had given way a little, in Sydney,—in
consequence of some large cargoes that had

noa i tupu ai te raru e mau nei ki Taranaki.
E hara te tikanga o te Kawana mo te whe-
nua i hokona ki Waitara i te mea mahi au-
raki. Kei te Karere o Maehe te 31, 1859,
kei te 3 o nga wharangi e mau ana enei
korero.
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 e nga whenua e toe ana kia ratou, otiia
ekore ia e whakaae kia hokona he whenua
tautohe. Ekore ano hoki e tukua tetahi
tangata kia peke pokanoa ki runga ki to

ki taua whenua. Ekore ano hoki e hokona
te whenua o tetahi tangata me he mea ka-

arrived  that at Melbourne small supplies
of colonial grown wheat were finding their
way to market, and that the stocks in the
hands of the millers having falling very low
an advance in the price of flour had taken
place.—221 per ton being the quotations for
fine, and from 8s. 6d. to 9s. per bushel for
wheat. At Adelaide wheat was 8s. 7d. to
8s. 8d. Flour 201 10s. At Hobart Town,

During the past fortnight, business in
Auckland has been greatly affected by the
unfortunate affairs at Taranaki, which are
calculated to have an injurious tendency
upon the commercial industry both of the
Natives and the Europeans. It is to be
hoped that these dark clouds may soon pass
away, for it is only by a mutual good feel-
ing between the races, and by a wholesome
competition in the arts of industry that the
prosperity of New Zealand can be secured
whether for the Maori or Pakeha.
It is satisfactory  to observe, in the midst
of these unfonunate conflicts, that from the
North and East coasts, produce comes to
market much more freely than during the
year 1859. as will be seen by the shipping
report:
The arrivals during the fortnight have
been chiefly from ports of the other New
Zealand Provinces, namely: — Airedale,
steam-ship, 286 tons. Captain Johns, in the
Manukau from the South, with sundry goods
27 passengers:--White Swan, steamship,
