mea ana matou he  tino tika nga kupu a Te Homa, 
Mema  o te Runanga Ariki, a ko ana kupu nga kupu 
e marama  ai, e kitea ai te tikanga o nga Ture Pooti a 
te iwi. E   kore matou   e whai kupu mo te ki e kiia 
nei kia mahia nga whenua Maori, kia puta he Karauna on
Karaati mo a te Maori whenua.   Otiia, ka kiia ano ia HŁ
e matou te tino tikanga e marama rawa ai te mahi e 
uia nei e tenei patai, " Me pehea e mana ai ta te Maori 
Pooti, kia maha ai he Mema Maori  ki le Paremata."  
He  tangata anake no Te Kuini nga Maori katoa o nga 
Motu  nei, a ko a te Maori whenua i man kia ratou ki nga mi
tikanga o a ratou tupuna, ko aua whenua e kiia ana e te 
 Ture, kia mahia ki nga tikanga o te Ture Kooti Whaka 
 wa Whenua  Maori, kia mana ai te mahi hoko a te Maori th
 i aua whenua ki te tangata ke atu. A kia mahia aua 
 whenua e te Kooti Whakawa Whenna Maori. Ka  puta
 te Karauna Karaati, a ko taua Karaati te mana e mau  
 ai te whenna ki te tangata nona te whenua, me ana au
 uri. A  na taua Karauna Karaati ano hoki te take i 
 mahi  ai ano te tangata i aia te Karaati, i nga mahi
 Pooti me nga mahi nui a Te iwi. Ko nga  Ture e 
 kiia nei hei ara mo nga tikanga mahi a Te Pakeha. 
 He Ture aua Ture, nana ano na te iwi i whakatakoto 
 aua Ture. Ara he mea mahi e nga Pakeha i tonoa e fa
 te iwi ki te Paremata. A  na te Tare i mau ai te tao-
 nga a te tangata i aia, a i ora ai tana tinana, kei rahua 
 e te tangata ke. Whai   hoki, na te taonga, me  te . a
 whenua, i mana ai te Pooti a te iwi i a ratou tangata 
 e pai ai ki te Paremata. Na konei matou i mea ai, 
 nei tata ano te tikanga e mutu ai te rapu rapu a Te o
 Maori i nga tikanga e maha ai te Mema Maori ki Te 
 Paremata.  I mea matou kahore a matou kupu mo nga 
 whenua Maori kia mahia ki te Kooti whakawa whe- 
  nua Maori.  E kore matou e korero mo taua Kooti, i s
  te mea hoki, e ki ana te Maori, e ahua he ana te tohu e
  patai a Te Kooti i nga whakawa whenua, a he iti te 
  mohio o Te Kooti ki nga tikanga Maori  i he  ai to a
  mahi o nga whenua ki o nga . tupuna tikanga. A e a
  he ana i te Maori te ki kia tekau anake nga Maori   -
  ki te Karaati, i te mea hoki e kapea ana etahi o nga
  tangata no ratou te whenua, na aua mea noi matou i s
  kore ai e korero mo te Kooti. Otita e mea ana matou   s
  ki te mea ka mahi te Maori, nga Maori  katoa  katoa  
  no ratou nga ingoa kua noho i te Karauna  Karaati, 1
  kia noho o ratou ingoa i te pukapuka Pooti mo nga 1
  Mema   Paremata, a ka mahi Pooti ana tangata o  te  
  iwi Maori i a ratou tangata e pai ai, ano ka kitea te 
  pai me  te ora i tenei mahi a etahi o te iwi. Hei muri 1
  te kitea ai te take o te he, me te tikanga nana i Le ai 
  te Maori i kore ai e Pooti te Maori mo a ratou tanga-
  ta e pai ai, a i iti ai ano hoki ho Mema Maori ki te
  Paremata  i enei tau kua pahure nei. Ka mahia e matou
  ki TE WANANGA  nei nga kupu ako mo te Maori e ma-
   rama ai te iwi ki te mahi Pooti.

               TE PAREMATA                           WHARE    ARIKI.

            TE  TURE  MO NGA   MEMA  MAORI   KI TE PAREMATA.
                         WENETI HEPETEMA  27. 1876.
                Ka mea  a Kapene Pereiha, he mea kia koreretia ano te
             Ture mo nga Meina Maori, he mea hoki no te tau 1867 i
             mana ai te Ture hei mea mo te iwi Maori mo nga motu
             nei. A  i mea taua Ture, ki a rima tau o taua Ture e mana
             ai i muri iho o te tau i kiia ai taua Ture hei Ture. A no
             to tau 1872. i kiia ai ano tetahi Ture ano, hei whakamana
             i te Ture Tawhito, kia mana ano mo nga tau  e rima i
             muri iho o te tau 1872. A ko te marama o Oketopa 1877
             taua Ture ka mutu ai. A ko te Ture mo nga Mema   Ma-
              ori ki te Paremata e kiia nei eia i tenei ra, he mea kia tu
             ano taua Turo Tawhito, a ma Te Paremata ra ano e mea
             kia mutu to inana o taua Ture a ona ra e mutu ai ka mutu
             ai.  E mea  ana aia, i nga ra o nga Mema Maori  i tu ai
             hei Mema  ki te Paremata, i tino pai te ahua o a ratou
             mahi, a i ahua rite te pai ki o nga Mema Pakeha te pai.
             A ka mea atu aia ki te Runanga Ariki kia kiia ano taua
              Ture, hei Ture mo enei ra e takoto ake nei.
              Ka mea a Te Haara. E whakaae ana Te Kawanatanga
             ki te Ture e kiia nei, ahakoa, i ahua rere ke etahi o «na
             tikanga, i te wa i kiia ai taua Ture nei ano, e tetahi o nga
              Mema Maori, i te ra i kiia ai taua Ture   e  taua Mema
             Maori. A e ki aua a Kapene Pareiha, kia mana te Ture
              Tawhito mo nga Maori kia tu tonu hei Mema rao te whare
             Paremata,  i te mea hoki, ki te mea ka kore e mahia ano
             taua Ture Tawhito kia inana ano, ko a te tau e haere ake
              nei, ka mutu ai te noho a  tu Maori  hei Mema   mo  te
             Paremata,   E mea ana aia a Te Haara, he kite, a be titiro

pai atu na te Pakeha ki te pai o te Maori hei Mema mo te
Paremata,   na reira aia i ki ni, me mahi taua Ture kia mana
ano, kia noho  tonu ai he Maori hoi Mema mo te Paremata.
A, e whakaae ana aia ki te Ture o  kiia noi e Kapene
Pereiha.

ment alone.  We say that we have suffered through that Go-
vernment, and therefore that these persons who have caused
us trouble should cease.  Look at the laws  of Sir Donald ;
M'Lean,  introduced into Parliament  to destroy our Island i
Aotearoa.  Friends, we  object to these laws of Sir Donald
M'Lean's 1 Not one of these new  laws was concurred in by
us, but we disapproved of the whole of them. This is a quo-
tation, from Scripture : " O wretched man that I am who shall 
deliver me from the body of this death?"   And we now  use 
it to you. I now  pray to you  like as I pray to the Lord :
" Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name * *
thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven '. Give us this 
day eternal life, may thy works ever continue in this world !
Amen."     Sufficient are these words of  approval  of Mr.
Whitaker's statements.  From all of us your friends.

good, but yon deal with them as you like.

atu nga Ture a Ta Tanara Makarini ki waho o te whare, kia

heihei, me nga parera, me nga kuihi, me nga moa  katoa, kia
kinokino rawa atu ena Ture, kaua tetahi e whakatikaia o enei
 Ture a Ta Tanara Makarini, no te mea  e tata ana ia ki te
 tapahi i te kaki tangata, penei hoki me ana whakahaere i

 iara, i whakawhiwhia ai e te Kawanatanga te paru kia matou
 mo te whenua, kia patua etahi o matou kia watea ai te whe-
 nua, me tangohia e ia hei ki maana, i riro i te rau o te patu
 tenei whenua na, me tera whenua ra. kaore nei i mahara kei
 te patu te tangata i te tangata, ko te whenua ia kei te takoto
 harakore, tahuri kau noa iho kei te patu hoki i te whenua.
 Kaore i whakaaro i mate to tangata i a raua whaka-tangata.
 na kua utu-utua ena. ko te whenua ia kaore i tahuri ki te patu

 Makarini e mahi  nei rao te Motu nei. kaore rawa matou e pai
 ki aua Ture.

e kore te tangata e peke ki reira, no te mea kua matau ia, he 
mate tera.  Ki te hoe te tangata i te moana, e kore ia e peke
ki te moana, no te mea kua matau ia, he mate tera. Whaihoki
ko tenei Ture e kore te tangata o hiahia kia peke ki reira, no
te mea kua matau ia, he mate tera. Heoi, he tino whakamana

         To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
  That is to Henare  Tomoana :—Friend,  put the following
into the WANANGA,  so that our friends may see it. These are
the words.   We. the people iu the centre of the North Island.
 support, or will uphold the words of J. Sheehan. M.H.R.,
Taiaroa, M.H.R., Karaitiana Takamoana. M.H.R.. and Hoani
 Nahe, M.HR.    We  the following Generic  tribes Uriohau,
 Ngatirango, Ngatiwhatua, Te Taou. Ngaoho, and Te  Roroa.
condemn  the laws of 1873, because those laws were not made
known  in the days of the year 1873. and hence we were not
 able to see them then, and at that time too. and to put on
 record our words of condemnation of them.  We  have only
 now in 1876 seen those laws, and we now see that they are
 the very acts of murder, these hidden laws of Sir D. M'Lean
 and the Government.   Now  hearken  TO these words. The
 words  of the  Government   are like fire.  When a fire is
 burning, a man will not jump  thereon, as he is aware that
 death is there. If a man be out ou  The sea in his canoe, he
 will not jump into the sea. as he knows that death is there.
 Even so, as in the case of this law (the new Native Lands
 Bill by Sir D. M.'Lean). men will not wish to follow it, as they
 know that death is in it. Now we wish  to say that we fully
 support these above-mentioned members,  that they may be
 strong to conduct those matters, which will be for the good
 of all the people who live on this (the North Island.) Enough.
 from the tribes who have been given above. That is from all
 the chiefs of those before-mentioned tribes of Kaipara.
