katoatia hei tangata tango moni mo te Waka.
E hiahia ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Kia rongo mai nga tangata katoa e

ka kore, me pewhea e ora ai. Kua hae-
haetia atu e matou inaianei nga ingoa o

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1879.
WE publish in another place a letter from a section
of the Ngatikahungunu tribe, declaring that they
object to voting for a member to represent them, in
Parliament, because they " cannot see what benefit
they derive from so doing. " This simply proves the
ignorance of the people who so speak. It shows that
they are not yet sufficiently enlightened to realise
the greatness of the privilege which has been bestowed
upon them as a people. The constitution of the New
Zealand Parliament is copied from that of England
—a constitution under which, and by means of which,
the British nation has risen to a higher and nobler
position than that of any other people on the face
of the earth. No greater or more glorious privilege

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI
tanga Mema e aheitia ana te hoatu ki te iwi Maori o
Niu Tirani, e mau nei ki a ratou tahi ko nga tangata
Pakeha o te Kuini. Ki te mea ka tika ta ratou
whakahaere i taua mana pootitanga, ara ki te mea ka
pootitia e ratou etahi mema whai matauranga, nga-
kau rangatira, maia, hei nga mema e kore e whaka-
rongo ki nga whakawai a etahi tu tangata ngutu
patere, rupahu noa nei, -penei e kore ratou e ki kaore
ratou e mohio ana ki te painga o te mahi pooti. E
whai wahi ana ia tangata ia tangata ki te Paremete,
ara i runga i tona mema i pooti ai ia; a, e kore e taea
e te Paremete te hanga i tetahi ture, te whakakore i
tetahi ture ranei, ki te kore e whakaaetia e nga mema
o te iwi nui tonu. Ko nga mema o te Whare nga
kai-tiaki i te rangatiratanga o te iwi; ko ratou
-nga reo o te iwi i haere ake i nga wahi katoa
o te motu hei whiriwhiri i etahi ture e pai
ai e ora ai te iwi nui katoa. Na, he mahi nui rawa
tena kei a ratou, ara he tiaki i to tatou rangatira-
tanga, i a tatou mahi hokohoko; me o tatou taonga
katoa; koia hoki me tatou, kia tupato rawa tatou,
kia mohio rawa tatou, ki te whiriwhiri i etahi tangata
mohio; tangata whakaaro rangatira e kore nei e taea
te poapoa, tangata matauranga nui, kia mohio ai ki
te whakahaere tika i nga tikanga o te motu. Ka hoko
te tangata i tona pooti ki te moni, ki te aha ranei, a
ka pooti ia i te mema kuare, mema hara ranei, na he
nui atu te hee o tena tu tangata i to te porangi;
ehara ia i te tangata tika kia whiwhi i te mana pooti-
• tanga, no te mea e hoko ana ia i a ia, me te oranga
ano hoki o te motu. Kaua ia e amuamu i muri iho,
ki te mea ka kitea e whakaaro kore ana taua mema ki
te iwi, e whai ana ki te rawa mona anake.

could have been bestowed upon the Natives of New
Zealand than the Electoral Franchise, which they
enjoy in common with Her Majesty's European sub-
jects. If they use that privilege aright, if they re-
turn men to represent them possessing wisdom,
honor, and independency of character, men who will
not allow themselves to be led by political adven-
turers, they will not have occasion to say they can
see no benefit arising from its exercise. Every man
has, by his representative, a share in the legislature,
by which no laws can be enacted or repealed without
the consent of the majority of the people's represen-
tatives. The members of the House of Represen-
tatives are the guardians of the public liberty; they
are the deputies sent up from all quarters to make
such laws as shall best promote the interest of the
whole collective body of the people. But while they
have thus the important charge of watching over the
preservation of our liberties, our trade, and our
property, what care ought we to take to choose only
such men as are qualified for performing this im-
portant task; men whose integrity will render them
superior to the temptation of a bribe, and whose
wisdom will enable them to manage the affairs of the
country with success. The man who parts with his
vote for a lucrative or selfish consideration, and is
instrumental in choosing a representative who is
unqualified or corrupt, is something worse than a
fool; he is unworthy to possess the privilege of vot-
ing, since, as much as is in his power, he sells him-
self and his country. He should not afterwards
complain if he find the man he has helped to return
neglecting the interest of his constituents and seek-
ing only his own advantage.

We have received direct information from Wai-

of April inst.; that invitations are being telegraphed
to all parts of the island; that the meeting is to be
open to all Europeans, and that an invitation will
not be sent to Grey & Co. We think there must
be some mistake here—however, we give the infor-

will be the largest ever held in the Waikato district.

We give the following items of intelligence from
the Pakeha papers respecting the Waimate Plains
difficulty: —
HAWERA, April 1
James Mackay has gone to Parihaka to interview
Te Whiti. The Natives have considerable faith in
him. A large number of Natives, generally friendly
disposed, now say that Te Whiti is right in defend-
ing their land. Others say, " Give us liberal re-
serves; the Government can. take the rest, and the
matter can be settled. "
OPUNAKE, April 3.
The Maories of Parihaka, say that the late Sir

ki a ratou etahi o nga moni e riro mai mo te eka. E
ki ana ratou kaore i whakamanangia aua kupu a te
Makarini. E whakaaro ana ratou he kotahi nga
Kawanatanga katoa, ehara i te mea motu-ke pera me
te tangata; no kona e kore e tika kia whakaparahako
tenei Kawanatanga ki nga kupu whakaae ft tera Ka-
wanatanga o mua. E ki ana hoki ratou kotahi te kau
ma ono mano eka kua ruritia o taua whenua raorao
o Waimate, a kaore kia kotahi eka i wehea atu mo
ratou mo nga, Maori o taua whenua. E korero ana
ratou ki te panuitanga o taua whenua kia hokona, mea
aua he tohu taua panuitanga no te whakaaro o te
Kawanatanga kia whakakorea te kupu a Ta Tanara
Makarini, he tahae hoki i ta ratou whenua. E ki
ana, tena ano etahi Pakeha, Maori hoki, e mohio ana
ki te pono o a ratou korero, i rongo pu hoki ki aua
kupu a te Makarini.
I te ui haere a Hemi Make raua ko Kapene Pereeki
kia mohio raua ki nga tikanga o mua i whakaputaia
mo aua whenua i tangohia ra. I nui te pai o te ahua
o te Whiti ki a raua; engari he mahi uaua rawa te
whakaotinga o taua raruraru, he maha hoki nga tau
e takoto ana me te nui haere hoki nga raruraru.
WERENGITANA, Aperira 3.
Kua tae mai he korero ki te Kawanatanga no Wai-
mate, e kiia ana e kore e tupu he pakanga i taua
raruraru; kua whakaae hoki nga Maori kia mahia
ano nga ruri i roto i enei rangi e takoto tata ake nei.
E ki ana kua tae mai he kupu ki te Kawanatanga
i muri nei, he kii mai tera e whakahokia e nga Maori
ano nga mea a nga kai-ruri ki nga wahi i mauria mai
ai e ratou, a ka mutu te raruraru.
Ko nga hoia o Taupo kua tae mai ki konei (ara,
ki Po Neke), e haere ana ki Waimate.
WERENGITANA, Aperira 4.
Kua tae mai nga korero a te Make ki te Minita
• Maori; e ki ana i tohe te Whiti ko tetahi wahi o te
whenua kia waiho ki a ia, kei mate rawa ia, ara kei
rawakore, Engari i ki ia e kore rawa ratou ko tona
iwi e pai ki te pakanga; e kore rawa e puta he wha-
whai na ratou ko o ratou hoa Pakeha inaianei, a mua
ake ranei. Ki te ahua o taua korero, a Make e kore
e roa ka oti pai taua raruraru.
E hiahia ana te Whiti kia rongo ia ki te whakaaro

tera ano e pai te Kawanatanga kia pera, kia awe ai

I te 2 o Maehe e 40 nga herehere i mau i a Norika,
what the sequestered land sold. These promises,
they maintain, have been ignored. They regard all
Governments as continuous, and not as individuals,
and think that the honor and promises of the past
should not be broken or set aside by the present
Government. They say that 16, 000 acres of fern
Land on the plains have been surveyed and laid out
without the reservation of a single acre for them
They point to the advertisement of its sale as the
deliberate sanction of the Government to ignore the
Late Sir Donald McLean's promises, and rob them
absolutely of their inheritance. They have Euro-
pean and Native witnesses who can testify to the
truth of their statements, and as to what Sir Donald
McLean really did promise.
Mr. James Mackay and Captain Blake have been
endeavouring to obtain information with regard to
the previous proceedings as to confiscated lands.
They were both received in a most friendly way by
Te Whiti, but a satisfactory settlement of the
matter proves to be very difficult, owing to the com-
plications which have grown up during a series of
years.
WELLINGTON, April 3.
The Government have received reliable informa-
tion from Waimate that there is no prospect of any
breach of the peace, and the Natives express their
willingness to allow the surveys to proceed in a few
days.
It is understood that the Government have re-
ceived an almost positive assurance that the Maories
will themselves put the surveyors' instruments back
where they were taken, from, and that no further
trouble will arise.
The Armed Constabulary from Taupo have arrived
here en route for Waimate Plains.
WELLINGTON, April 4.
The Native Minister has received a reply from.
Mr. Mackay, who says that Te Whiti stood out for
at least a portion of the land, deprecated being left
impoverished, but at the same time scouted the idea
of force being resorted to by himself or any section
of his people, and reiterated there could be no war
now or at any other time between themselves and
their European neighbours. It is considered that
the whole tenor of the report indicates a speedy and
satisfactory settlement of the present difficulty.
Te Whiti is anxious to learn from the Govern-
ment what their intentions are in regard to setting
aside reserves for the Natives (which it is understood
the Government intends doing, and thus bring the
present complication to a speedy and satisfactory
conclusion).
Titokowaru said he had finished his work at the
Ngutu-o-te-manu, and seemed to lean towards the
Government.

One hundred and twenty-four rebels in Orail dis-
trict have surrendered, which, with one or two
exceptions, comprise the whole of the rebels in that
district. Fifty-six of these are women. They have
all been, sent to the Isle of Pines. (See Waka

Diounst, the chief of Bourail, and 150 of his men

i Waitara ki a Meiha Tiakihana, o Rangiaohia, kia
brought in 40 rebels, among whom was the infamous
Cham, who shed a great deal of blood, and several
other noted murderers. Six of them were immediately
shot, and the rest sent into exile. The few blacks
not yet taken are leading a miserable life among the
rooks and forests, completely crushed in spirit.
It is estimated that about nine hundred blacks
have been killed and eleven hundred captured and
banished to neighbouring islands since the revolt in
June, 1878,
On the afternoon of the 10th news was received of
the killing of 10 rebels and the capture of the same
number of prisoners by the faithful Kone tribe. This
tribe, 400 strong, commenced operations against the
insurgents, and put them to flight without being
aided in any way by the whites.

Colonel Pearson has exacted revenge upon Cete-
wayo by burning down his principal kraal and
capturing a number of his men—Severe engagement
between a detachment of British numbering 80 men
and. a force of 8, 000 Zulus; the Zulus fought bravely
but were defeated with great loss—The British
forces at the Cape are anxious to retrieve the stain
which their arms have sustained—Maniotasi, Chief
of Banti Land, is up in arms against British rule.
News from Cape Town, dated March 18, states
that Oham, Cetewayo's brother, and supposed
aspirant to the throne, with Oham's son and 300
Zulus, surrendered unconditionally. There had
been no important movement. Colonel Law is in
command of the force for the relief of Ekowe. A
large number of Zulus surrounded Ekowe. The
garrison is well, but short of provisions. The 57th
Infantry regiment are marching to Tugela; the 81st
and 16th Infantry Regiments and a British battery
have arrived.

We call the attention of the Natives of Turanga
to the advertisement of Mr. Joseph Griffin on page

business heretofore was burned down during the
late fire, and he now wishes his Maori customers to
know that he has recommenced business in a small
building in Gladstone Road, a short distance below
the office of the Waka Maori, where he hopes to re-
ceive a continuance of their patronage. He promises
to supply them with Boots and Shoes, manufactured
in his usual inimitable style, at a cheaper rate than
any house in Gisborne.

The famine in the north of China is by no means
over yet. Fearful accounts of suffering continue to
be received from the famine districts, and several
foreigners have gone to render help. The total
amount received in aid of the distressed amounts to
£50, 000, of which £2500 remains in hand. The
committee of the relief fund, in their report, speak
of the contributions received from Melbourne and
Adelaide as very liberal.
From the province of Shansi deplorable accounts
have been received. Vast tracts of land are unculti-
vated, numbers of villages are in ruins, many towns
almost deserted, and heaps of human bodies He un-
buried.
The drought in Shantung has been succeeded by
floods, which have destroyed a large amount of pro-
perty, in many cases sweeping away whole villages.
The loss of life from this cause has been dreadful.

scribers complain very bitterly if we do not give insertion to
their letters, many of which are upon subjects ao trivial and un-
important that making translations of them would be an en-
tire waste of labor, and the insertion of them would necessitate
the exclusion of more useful matter. We propose therefore, as a
rule, to publish translations of those only which may bear upon
political questions of importance, or be otherwise interesting to
the European public. ]
Wharekahika, Pepuere, 1879,
E HOA, —Utaina ki te Waka taku whakahoki mo
te panui a Wi Pahuru ma. Katahi ano aku tangata
auau rere-ke marire ko nga tangata taka i te maaae
o aku whare, a noho rawa hoki ki runga ki taku
whenua! Katahi marire te tu tangata mohio ki te
tuku panui ki te Waka o nga tangata totika o nga
iwi ka Pakehatia kia rongo ai ra a wai ma i te panui-
tanga ! Kati te noho i runga i to matou whenua ko
aku Pakeha, te whakaapiapi noa. Tukua mai nga
manuhiri a taku tipuna, a Uenuku. Ka mate ia ka
makere iho tona kupu ki au, —" E tama, i muri nei,
kia mau ki nga Pakeha anake, Engari hoki te
hanga e taka nei, hei mau ka weru mau. " E hoa
ma, kai te hangai marire ki toku; kaore i te titi ke.
Kaua hei puhaehae noa; kia pai te mahi kei tipu
noa te kino ki tenei whenua. Kua mutu nga ra mo
te korero. I to matou taenga mai ko Hemi Make
me H. Potae kaore he kupu pono. Kati te haere ki
te rapu korero ki te tangata ke; ahu mai ki to kou-
tou tipuna, ki a te Hokamau, hei ako i a koutou ki
nga korero o te whenua, me etahi tikanga atu.

Kaitaha, Pepuere, 1879.
E HOA, —He kupu atu tenei na matou, mau e uta
atu ki runga ki te Waka. Kaore matou e pai inaia-
nei ki o matou piihi whenua e takoto nei i roto o
tenei panui (a Meiha Ropata). E he ana. Kati,
ko o matou piihi ka unuhia e matou ki waho; timata
i te Ngaiopiko whakamutu ki te ruritanga a Meiha
Ropata i tona piihi; timata i tetahi taha o taua piihi
whakamutu ki Pauoruku; timata i Pauoruku whaka-
mutu ki Mangaoparo, whiti noa mai ki te Ahikouka
nama wana, tae noa ki te poraka o Kai-inanga,
tae noa ki nga wahi o te Poroporo. Me puta
katoa ki waho; kaore matou e pai ki tenei tikanga
e panuitia nei i te Waka. Kei ia tangata, kei ia
hapu, kei ia iwi, te tikanga mo ona wahi, mo ona
wahi, mana e hoko, e reti, e pupuri ranei.
