A i penei ano nga iwi o enei Motu o Aotearoa, o Te Waipounamu, i pera me nga iwi Maori o etahi Motu, ko nga mohiotanga kino o te Pakeha i akona e ratou kia ratou, a ko nga mohiotanga pai i kore te akona e ratou. A ko taua ako he nei a te Maori i nga mea kino anake o te Pakeha, e hara i te '. tikanga e koa ai te Pakeha, otiia, hei whakahe taua mea nei i te iwi mohio i te Pakeha, a no nga tikanga pea ia o te whakahaere tikanga mo te iwi i puta ai ana tikanga.

THE FUTURE OF THE MAORI. MANY people doubt whether the Maori will continue to exist in this colony for many generations, and re- gard Him as comprised in the general doom which awaits the brown races when brought into active con- i tact with the white. For ourselves we doubt this, and consider that the Maoris tenure of existence is safe, if he will but comply with easy and reasonable con ditions. It is our intention in subsequent numbers of the WANANGA to point out what those conditions are, and to show to the Native people the way iu which they may perpetuate their race, and become equal iu civilisation to the European. We hopo that the articles on the subject will be attentively read by our Maori friends, and that they will endeavor to put into practice the suggestions they will contain. After all, nearly a half century of contact with the European has not done much for the aboriginal race. They have learnt much, it is true, but to a large extent their knowledge is composed of things which it were well for them if they had never known. An eminent writer says that the Malay has "the passions of children with the body and mind of men."' It has happened in this colony, as in many others, that the original race has acquired far more of the vices of civilisation than of its virtues. This fact is not creditable to the superior people, but it appears to be an inevitable consequence of modern civilisation. It is not yet too late to alter this in the case of the Maori. All those who have written about the Maori, agree that Le represents the best type of the Malayan race, and that he shows a wonderful aptitude for ac- quiring the knowledge and habits of existence of Europeans. There is still time, in his case, to confer upon him the solid advantages of real civilization, and to raise him to the social and intellectual level of his European neighbor. Our object will be to show to the Maori how Le may accomplish, this grand object, and thus form a solitary exeption to the rule which. has hitherto unfortunately applied to the so called savage races. TA TANARA MAKARINI. KUA pouri matou i te rongo o Ta Tanara Makarini, ki ano i matutu noa tana mate, a e kiia ana. he maa tonu no te mate turoro ki aia, i kawea mai ai aia ki Nepia, kia mahia kia cru ai aia i tana mate. Ta matou kakari e whawhai nei kia Ta Tanara Maka- rini, e hara i te whawhai ki aia a tinana, engari, he whawhai na matou ki ana tu whakaaro e whakahaere nei i nga tikanga ki te iwi. a i ahua koi pea etahi o a. matou kupu mona, otiia, e tino pono ana ta matou aroha e ki nei, mona e mau tonu ana te mate turoro i aia. A e mea ana matou, ka tino pai matou kia kiia atu e ta matou aroha. " Kia ora koe, e Ta Tanara Makarini, a kia tini nga tau hou e kite ai koe, a e koa ai tou ngakau." SIR DONALD M'LEAN. WE deeply regret to hear that Sir Donald M'Lean's health has not improved since his arrival in Napier. It has become necessary to bring Lira into Napier from his station at Maraekakaho. Our fight against Sir Donald has been one of a poli- tical nature, tinged perhaps with, some unavoidable bitterness, but we still can feel .1 genuine sympathy for his bodily health, and hope that it will not be in vain to wish him at this .season " many happy New- Years." r | NGA RONGO KORERO. \_ TE HUI I OMAHU. i No TE Turei nei i mutu ai te hui a Kenata Kawepo.

TE WANANGA. ( HONE PARAIHI ) JOHN BRYCE. Hurae 25, 1876. Tumuaki. TE PAREMATA. WHARE PAREMATA. TUREI, OKETOPA 17, 1876. KA mea a Hoani Nahe. He kupu torutoru nei ana mo nga Ateha Maori. E kiia ana te take i utua ai nga Ateha Maori, no te mea na nga Ateha Maori i muta ai nga raru- raru o nga hapu Maori o aua Ateha. Kotahi rangatira Maori o Tokerau i tuhituhi Pitihana mai ki te Paremata, i tono kia whakanui tana utu tau, no te mea nana te kaha i mutu ai nga raruraru. A i ahua whakaae nga Apiha o te Kawanatanga ki taua Pitihana, a na reira aia i mea ai, e hara tana take i te tikanga i utua ai aua Ateha. Me korero aia i nga tikanga mo nga Ateha o tana takiwa o Hauraki. Kahore o reira Ateha i mahi mo te pai kia tau ki nga Maori. Engari, na ratou i tautoko nga mahi hoko be i te whenua a te Kawanatanga i nga Maori. Ana kupu e ki nei, i te whenua hoko he, he mea nana ki nga whenua e hokona ana e te Kawanatanga, i te mea ki ano aua whenua i whakawakia ki te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. A e harm aua whenua i te mea he utu ki te moni, ko nga whenua o Hauraki he mea utu ki te paraoa pirau. me te hopi, me te whakaheke taura, me te ika Pakeha, be harini. A kua tae mai nga reta a aua Ateha ki aia kia Hoani Nahe, he mea mai ki aia, kaua aia e whakahe ki aua tu hoko whenna. Na reira aia i mea kia kaua e utua nga Ateha o te takiwa ki Hauraki. E mea ana aia ko te hunga e mahi he ana ki te Maori, kaua ratou e utua. Otiia, kakore ana kupu mea, kia tino kore rawa he moni ma aua Ateha. Otiia, e whakahe ana aia ki a ratou mahi. A tenei ano hoki tetahi kupu ana mo nga Ateha o Hauraki. He mea nana, ko nga tangata e tango moni ano i te Kawanatanga, he tangata noanoa ake nei. e hara i te tangata, e hara ratou i te tangata pera me nga ranga- tira tawhito o Hauraki, a e utua ana ratou e te Kawana- tanga, a e tu ana ratou i ta ratou turanga. A i mahi tautoko ano hoki aua Ateha i te mahi Ruuri he i nga whenua Maori i Hauraki. E kore tana kupu e mea kia whakakahoretia te £5,000 moni mo te Tari Maori e kiia nei e te Hiana. Ko ana kupu i korero nei, he kupu aku kau ata ki te Paremata. Kahore ana kupu mo te Minita Maori. He nui noa atu nga kupu whakahe mo te Maka- rini, a he tini nga Pihana kua tae mai ki aia kia Hoani Nahe, e whakahe ana ki aia kia Te Makarini. Otiia, kahore ana kupu tautoko i aua Pitihana. Ka mea a Te Pana. E ui ana ahau, ka kiia ano ranei nga moni £400 i te.tau nei hei utu mo te mahinga o te "Nupepa o te Kawanatanga o te " Waka Maori." E mea ana aia a Te Pana, he Nupepa mana kore, a kahore he pai e taia ai taua Nupepa, a me mutu te mahi i taua " Waka Maori. Ea mea a Meiha Atikina. He tika ano pea, e pai ano kia kahore e mahia taua Nupepa te " Waka Maori," he penei ano hoki taua Nupepa me etahi atu men, otiia, kahore e pai kia mutu te mahi o taua Nupepa. Ki te mea ka mahia paitia taua Nupepa, ma taua Nupepa e rongo ai ta Maori ki te tini rongo korero e mahia ana e nga Pakeha. E ki ana aia, e kore epai ma TE WANANGA e mahi nga mahi i mahia e Te " Waka Maori, te Nupepa e mahia ana e Ngatikahungunu. He tini nga Maori o enei ra e tango -uta i Te " Waka Maori,"a e kore e pai kia mutu te mahi i taua Nupepa. Ka mea a Hori Karaka Tawiti. He kupu ana mo Ngapuhi, mo nga kupu i kiia nei mo Te Makarini. He aui noa atu nga taenga o Te Makarini ki Ngapuhi, a kahore kau ana mahi he i reira. E hara te haere a nga kai-hoko whenua a te Kawanatanga i te haere puku ki Ngapuhi, he haere aro nui atu ta ratou, a he mea ki nui te kupu, i haere" ratou ki te hoko whenua. A ko ta ratou utu mo te eka whenua, he tekau kapa mo te eka kotahi. A kahore he kupu whakahe a Ngapuhi, kahore ano hoki he mea a Ngapuhi, he utu iti taua tekau kapa mo te eka, kotahi nei ano ia ka rongo i te kupu whakahe a Ngapuhi kia Te Makarini. Te take ona i korero ai, he rongo nona ki nga kupu whakahe a enei Maori o tenei pito o te Motu nei e korero whakahe ana mo Te Makarini, a he mea nana, meake ano pea ka korero whakahe ano hoki a Ngapuhi mo Te Makarini. E ki ana a Te Hiana, na Te Makarini te whawhai ki Waita- ra. A he aha aia te whakahengia ai i aua ra i tu ai taua whawhai. E Lara te pai mai o Ngapuhi ki te Pakeha i te mea i pai mai ki nga utu a te Pakeha i a ratou. No nga ra ano o te Pakeha i u mai ai ki Ngapuhi i pai ai ki te Pakeha. He iwi pai, a he iwi kino a Ngapuhi. I nga ra i whawhai ai kia Hone Heke, i whawhai a Tamati Waka Nene kia Hone Heko, a e hara i te mea whakahau a To Waka e te Pakeha, a Te Waka i whawhai ai kia Hone Heke. A koia na tetahi take i kiia ai, e hara i te mea utu a Ngapuhi i pai ai ki te Pakeha. Engari he pai ano na Ngapuhi ki te Pakeha o mua mai, a tae noa mai ki enei ra. I puta ano te aroha a Kawana Kerei mo Tamati Waka, a utua ana a Te Waka mo tana mahi. A na reira te Maori i mohio ai, e utua ana aua tu mahi. E hara i te Maeri na ratou i tono he utu nui mo te mahi, he mea ako e te Pakeha. Kahore he kupu whakahe a Ngapuhi ki te mahi a te Kawanatanga, ki te mea ka mahi he te tangata i Ngapuhi, ko taua tangata ano e tukua mai mo tana he, kahore kau ana kite i te mahi he a Te Makarini i Ngapuhi. No te tunga o te Paremata i tera tau. i kiia ai nga korero mo nga kura, me nga rori ki te takiwa ki Ngapuhi. Na Kawana Kerei i whakatu nga Ateha, he mea whiriwhiri i nga tini rangatira o aua iwi o Ngapuhi, a e tu mai nei ano aua Ateha. A na te Kawanatanga o enei ra i whaka tu ano hoki etahi Ateha. Te mea e ki nei a Ngapuhi, ko nga rori kia puta ki nga takiwa katoa. A mea haere tonu te Waea, a me tu nga kura. E kore aia e pai kia kore te £5,000 e kiia nei. E mea ana. aia. waiho ano taua .£5,000 kia mahia e te Kawanatanga, i te mea hoki he iti te moni e toe ana. Ka mea a Te Kihi. E kore aia e korero ano ki re Pare- mata nei mei kore nga kupu a tetahi Mema o Te Paremata e kiia ki Te Komiti nei. He nui hoki no nga kupu whakaora a T<> Hata mo Te Makarini. He mahi wawao tonu ranei ta Te Hata i nga Pakeha e riria tikatia ana ? He tini nga Pakeha e hengia ana a ratou mahi, n no te mea e hoa riri ana a Te Hata ki aua Pakeha, e kore aia e korere whakaora i a ratou. Otiia nana ano na Te Hata te take i mea kia korero whakaora aia i a Te Makarini, e hara i te mea tono aia kia korero, naana ano i pupu noa ana kupu pai atu mo Te Makarini. He tini nga hoa Kawana- tanga a Te Makarini te waiho e Te Hata ma ratou ta ratou hoa e whakaora. E kore aia a Te Rihi e mohio, e tu pehea ana ranei a Te Hata, he mea ako ano ranei aia i puta ai he kupu ki maana mo Te Makarini. He mea ranei nana ano ana kupu. E ki ana hoki a Te Hata, ko te tangata e hoko whenua ana te tangata whai moni, ko te tangata i aia te whenua te tangata moni kore. Mehemea koa e pono ana aua kupu, ko nga Maori i hoko nei ratou i a ratou whenua, te hunga kua tino nui rawa atu a ratou moni, a ko nga Pakeha ia ratou aua whenua nga tangata kua tino kore rawa atu he moni ia ratou. A ko Te Makarini ratou ko ana hoa i hoko i te whenua i Ahuriri, a e rima te kau e ono te kau mano eka ia ratou o nga whenua tino pai o Heretaunga, a he iti te utu o aua whenua, a kua tino mate rawa atu a Te Makarini ma i te moni kore.

TE WANANGA. ara, nga Maori kua tinitini noa atu he moni i a ratou. E , tara i aia aua kupu nei, na To Hata. Heoi, he tito kau aua korero purakau, i te mea hoki kua tino tutua atu te i Maori na ratou i tuku te whenua, a ko nga Pakeha i a ; ratou aua whenua nga tangata kua nui he moni i a ratou. He pai nga kupu a te Roia a te Kawanatanga mo Te Makarini. Ahakoa, he kupu tikanga kore nga kupu a taua Roia, me aha koe i te mea i huhu te reo o taua Roia i te wa i korero ai aia mo Te Makarini. E kiia aua mei noho mai a Te Makarini i te Paremata nei, penei, mana ano e i korero utu whakahe mo nga korero e whakapae nei ki aia. lie aha koa, i nga kupu a Te Hiana i korero whakahe nei mo te Tari Maori, i te mea hoki e ahua pono ana nga kupu a Te Hiana. A i rongo ano hoki te Paremata nei i nga. korero a Karaitiana Takamona i whakahe nei i nga korero hameme a Te Omana. Hei nati, kia Te Omana. kahore he mau kupu kino a te Maori, a kahore he tikanga a te Maori, kia noho pupuri te Maori i Ngatahira, i Oma- runui. E mea ana te whakaaro, ki te mea ka mea te Maori kia noho pupuri aia i te whenua, he whawhai te mutunga. E mea ana aia a Te Rihi, e pai ana ranei a Te Omana. mana e tiki e pei aua Maori kia haere ke atu ratou i taua whenua tautohe i Omarunui ? E kore a Te Omana e haere ki reira, engari ka tono aia i te tangata ke kia haere ki te- pei i aua Maori, a ko Te Omana, ka tu ke mai i tawhiti titiro atu ai, E ki ana a Te Omana, e kore te Maori e tutu, a kahore kau he pu a aua Maori. Otiia, e ki ana nga Mema Maori o te Paremata nei, kua tae mai nga Waea kia raua, a e mea ana aua Waea, ki te mea ka haere te hoia ki te pei i a ratou, ka whawhai. A koia nei nga kupu a te tangata e tatari ans kia rongo i nga kupu patipati a Te Raka me ana hoa, me te Pirihimana, me te Apiha o te Kooti, kia haere ke ai aua Maori, ko te kupu a aua Maori, he kupu na te tangata, e mea pu ana kia tu tautete aia mo tana kaainga A e rite ai te kupu a Karaitiana Takamoana i ki nei, ko te wahi e nehua ai ratou, ko te wahi i orioria, ai e a ratou maatua. A ko te kupu a te Roia a te Kawana- tanga i mea nei, nei rongo a Te Makarini ki nga kupu whakapae mona, penei, ka he i aia i a Te Makarini aua. kupu whakapae mona, a ma aua kupu e teka ai aua. wha- kapae mona. I mea aia a Te Riihi, i te wa i hekona ai nga whenua e te Kawanatanga i Ahuriri, i haere tahi atu a Te Makarini i Te Kawana i taua ra i hokona ai ana whenua, a ko Kawana Kerei taua Kawana.

TE WANANGA. Ngapuhi ki konei. He taenga no Te Runa ki Hokinga eke mai ai a Hori Karaka i taua Tima. E hara aia i te mea uta e Te Makarini, no te mea kahore kau he mea a Te Makarini i aia. A i kiia he mea utu aia e Te Kawa- natanga, e he ana taua kupu. Heoi ano nga moni 1 aia, ko nga moni e atua ana e Te Paremata, e Te Paremata ano. A ko ana moni e homai ano ki aia, ki te mea ka tautoko aia i nga mahi a Kawana Kerei. Mehemea ia nei e tika ai te mea, e utua ana ahau. E tautoko ana aia i Te Kawanatanga no te mea e ki ana aia, e tika ana taua Kawanatanga. Kahore kau he whakahe atu ana kia Kawana Kerei, a e mahi tautoko ana aia i Te Kawanata- nga no te mea i mahi pai ratou i te takiwa ki Te Kawa- natanga. A mehemea pea e tu ana a Kawana Kerei i Te Kawanatanga, e tautoko ahau i ana mahi. Ka mea a Karaitiana Takamoana. Ahau i whakatika ia ki te korere, he mea naku ki nga kupu i korero ai a Te Bo te Mema mo Hauraki. Mehemea i pai a Ngapuhi kia tu he tangata ma ratou hei tautoko i nga mahi a Te Ka- wanatanga, penei kua tu ano ia ratou a Wi Katene. E mea ana aia, ko ta ratou tangata ko ta Ngapuhi i tu ai, he mea kia mahi tautoko i nga mahi a Kawana Kerei. A ko nga tangata katoa i kiia ki Pootitia ratou e Ngapuhi mo Te Paremata he tangata e he ana ai ratou nga mahi a Te Kawanatanga. Mehemea he pukapuka a Hori Karaka Tawiti i tuhi tuhia mai e Ngapuhi ki nia, e whakaae atu aia a Karaitiana ki nga kupa a Hori Karaka. Kua tae mai nga pukapuka a Ngapuhi ki nga Mema Maori katoa o Te Paramata nei. A koia na nga kupu utu mo te korero o te Mema Pakeha mo Hauraki. A tenei ano hoki ana kupu a Karaitiana mo nga korero whakapai a Hori Karaka rana ko Hoani Nahe rao Te Makarini. E mea atu ana a aia Karaitiana ki te Komiti. E mohio ana aia kia Te Makarini, o tana tamarikitanga a tae noa mai ki enei ra. A kahore ana mohio he mahi pai a Te Makarini. E pai ana nga whenua nui i hokona kia Te Mrkarini, otiia ko nga whenua i Rahuitia i nga ra o Te Makarini e Komiha- na ana, na nga Maori aua whenua i whakatapu ma ratou, a nana na Te Makarini i hoko aua whenua Rahui inana ake. I nga ra ona o Te Makarini e Minita ana, he mea mahi etahi o aua whenua ki Te Kooti whakawa whenua Maori, a hokona ana aua whenua e Te Makarini. He nui ana whenua i hoko ai mana ake. kote ingoa o aua whenua ! ko Ngatarawa, ko Mangateretere, ko Torekareka. He mea hoko ano hoki eia te hea a Tareha mana ake ano. Erua te kau nga tangata na ratou aua whenua, a e rua o aua tangata kihai i tuhi tuhi i te puka puka hoko o aua whenua, kahore aia a Karaitiana Takamoana i tuhituhi i tana ingoa ki te Riri o te hoko mo aua whenua kia Te i Makarini. E hara tana rongo i te maa i hokona aua whenua e Te Makarini mo Te Kawanatanga, engari he mea hoko aua whenua e Te Makarini mana ake ano ma Te Makarini. A koia na tetahi he ana a Karaitiana i kite ai ! ia Te Makarini. A tetahi, he nui nga tangata haere atu ki aia tono ai kia toe etahi o a ratou whenua kia ratou ki nga Maori. A i haere ano hoki aia a Karaitiana kia Te Makarini, i te mea hoki he nui ana whenua a Karaitiana a i mea atu ano hoki aia a Karaitiana kia Te Makarini | kia toe etahi o ana whenua whenua a Karaitiana ki aia ano kia Karaitiana. A kihai a Te Makarini i whakaae ki ta ratou tono, ki ta nga Maori, a i mea atu aia Te Makarini ki nga tangata ke atu, kaua o whakarongo ki te kupu a nga Maori whakakahore i te ! hoko mo a ratou whenua. A koia na nga take o tana whakahe kia Te Makarini. A koia na nga take i kore ai he kupu pai maana ma Karaitiana, kia penei me nga kupu pai a Hori Karaka i korero nei mo Te Makarini. He kite ! kau ta Hori Karaka i a Te Makarini e Apiha ana mo te Kawanatanga, tena koia, ko Karaitiana e kitekite tonu ana i a Te Makarini i nga ra katoa, no te mea hoki he kaainga kotahi a rana e noho ai, ko te Hupiritene o ' Ahuriri, he hoa pu ake no Te Makarini. A e rite tahi ana a raua whakaaro, a Te Omana, a Te Makarini. A koia ko Karaitiana me ana whenua, me ana whanaunga, me ana mea katoa, i tukua kia raua mahi ai, hua noa e mahi pai raua hei matua mo ratou, a ma raua e tiaki nga whenua a Karaitiana Takamoana ratou ko tana iwi. Na ko tenei, kua riihitia aua whenua ki etahi atu tangata. Na reira aia a Karaitiana i mea ai, he mea riihi he e Te Makarini aua whenua. A e whakakinoa ana aua whenua e te mahi keri haere e te Pakeha, me nga awa-keri i aua whe- nua. E he ana i aia te kupu e kiia nei, ko nga moni mo nga Rerewei, me nga moni katoa e ahu mai ana i a Te Makarini. He mea e tukua mai ana aua moni e nga Motu nei, kahore kau he mahi ana ake a Te Makarini. E mem ana aia a Karaitiana, me korero tuturu he ra e kiia ai, hei taua ra pu ano, ka koiero ai nga pukapuka katoa e korero whakahe ana kia Te Makarini. He tini nga reta o nga takiwa katoa o te Motu nei kua tae mai kia Kawana Kerei.

CLASS VI.—NATIVE DEPARTMENT Mr. NAHE had a few remarks to mako with reference to I the Native Assessors. It had boon said that the Assessors were paid because they had been mainly instrumental in: putting an end to the Maori trouble amongst their own ! tribes. A certain chief belonging to the Bay of Islands had sent up a petition praying- that his salary might be i increased, ou the ground that he had shown great energy '. in putting a stop to the troubles which threatened. The Government officers had expressed themselves as being unfavorable to that petition, and therefore he thought that. that was not the real reason why these Native Assessors were paid. He would refer to the Assessors in his own district, the Thames. The Assessors there did not work for the great benefit of the Natives. They strengthened the hands of the Government iu the improper purchases of Native lands. When he spoke of improper purchases : he meant the cases iu which lands were purchased before : the Crown grants were issued for them. Thames Mr. BURNS Major ATKINSON

TE WANANGA. were amply able and prepared to take up that honorable ' gentleman's position. He did not know what peculiar positition the honorable member for Wellington City was If the honorable member stood up as the Native Minister's in when he said he was authorised to say and do this or that. agent, of course the Committee would know what value to attach to the assertions he made, and the arguments he used ; but if he spoke simply as a member of the House on behalf of a gentleman who did not happen to be pre sent, it would be very right to accord him credit for doing no, but be must object to the honorable member answering in such a dictatorial tone. He was rather astonished to bear that honorable gentleman's sentiments, which were echoed by one or two of the Committee, that purchasing land did not inake a man wealthy until he sold it. If that were the case, the rich natives who had sold their land had become wealthy, and the poor people who had purchased the land had become very poor. That was the logic of the honorable member. The Native Minister and «ne or two other gentlemen in Hawke's Bay who had been in the habit of purchasing land had become very poor, and the man who got 50,000 or 60,000 acres of fine land for next door to nothing must be counted almost a pauper, whereas the people who sold the land became very rich and wealthy by the transaction. The Minister of Justice defended the Native Minister in a most gentle and amiable style. He would not say with any point ; but his remarks were certainly impressive if they had not any point. It had been said that if the Native Minister were here, he would deny all the statements made against him, and disprove them all. It was a somewhat remark- able thing that although the honorable member for Rod- ney who bad spoken of these matters had become cogni- zant of the intricacies of the department, and had been able to tear aside the curtain and look into the charnel- house a little closer than other people, there was a very disagreeable ring of truth about every word the honor- able member had said. With what singular force the statement the Committee heard from the honorable mem- ber for the Eastern Maori District on the previous evening came, after the subdued and very gentle statement, the sort of smoothing-over process, by the honorable member for Clive, when be spoke of the matter. He was aston- ished when he heard that honorable member say that nobody was in arms, and nobody was prepared to defend the land. Why. anyone who knew anything at all about the Maoris knew that if they held a piece of land, and said they were prepared to tight for it. they were pre- pared to fight for it. He wished to know whether the honorable member for Clive would like to go to put these men off the ground. No ; thy honorable gentleman would take very great care to keep away : he would take very great care that other people should do that, and he would stay here. The honorable gentleman said there would be no resistence, and the men had not got any arms ; but the two native members said they had tele- grams from there which said that, although soldiers might be sent up there in pursuance of their threats, yet they would fight. Was that the action of men who waiting to be persuaded by the honeyed voices of Mr Locke and others, and oue police officer and the Sheriff who Lad been sent to try and get thern off the Land ? The language of the Natives was the language of men prepared for resistance ; of men who were determined to to make, in the words of the honorable member for the Eastern Maori District, their graves where their cradle had been. In relation to the statement of the Minister of Justice, who stood up and expressed himself in a very gentlemanly manner, in the very corteous manner in which he usually addressed the Committee or the House, by which he supposed the honorable gentleman intended to make up for the point in his remarks which was want- ing—that if the Native Minister had been here he would have immediately denied the statements,—he would say that the Native Minister had been in his place when such statements were made, and what did he deny? One statement alone. He (Mr. Rees) had said that when cer- tain lands were purchased ia Hawke's Bay, Sir Donald McLean went there with the then Governor, Sir George Grey. The Native Minister contradicted that, and said nothing of the sort was done ; and it turned out that that gentleman had gone the day before and met the Governor there. That was the denial ; but the Native Minister did not dare to deny the statements made as to how he got those reserves into his possession. If the honorable mem- ber for Clive had been present when the Native Minister did not deny these statements, the honorable gentleman would not have said that the Native Minister did not get an inch of those reserves ; and if he was present, he had no right to say what he had. He was very much pleased indeed to hear the statement made by the honorable mem- ber for Rodney ; for too much light could not be thrown upon these matters. It wae all very well for members of the Ministry, or members of the House, or other persons to attempt to say that there was no ill-feeling amongst the Natives, but it was not so. In Waikato, it was not so : in Napier, it was not so ; and as to the good-will the Natives bore to Sir Donald McLean, be would say that the Native member for the Northern Maori District was elected by the Ngapuhi on purpose to support Sir George Grey against Sir Donald McLean. The honorable gentle- man was pledged to that, and was put in for that purpose. What did the Native Minister do ? He went up north by the Luna, got the honorable member on board, brought hira down here, and it was then found that the member for the Northern Maori District had forgotten his pledge to support Sir George Grey, and was a hard supporter of the Government. Ngapuhi chiefs, great chiefs, had writ- ten to the honorable member, and sent messages remind- ing him of his pledges ; but Ministers had such influence, and were such amiable and accommodating people, that he was sure, no matter what promises he bad made, they were the proper people to support, and he meant to sup- port them. That was having influence with the Natives. The influence which the Native Minister exercised on the Natives was a pernicious influence. It was an influence which sowed disaffection amongst the Natives them- selves, and taught them, as the honorable member said, that all these things had their price, and taught them that which was first intended as a reward for services ren- dered was a reward for services which might be rendered, services political or otherwise. The statements made by the honorable member for Rodney were not as the Minis- ter of Justice said, as to the incapacity of Sir Donald McLean to do this work, or want of power to do it. The honorable member for Rodney distinctly admitted the power and capacity of the Native Minister, but said that a great portion of it was used not for the purpose of benefitting the public, but for the benefit of the Native and Defence Minister and for the benefit of his friends. That, sir, was what the honorable member complained of. Everybody knew that Sir Donald McLean had had a con- siderable amount of influence with the Natives for a long time ; but the question was, whether that influence was exercised for the benefit of the country, unselfishly, and. i and with a view to a high standard of patriotism. No | self-constituted champion of Sir Donald McLean stood 1 forth to defend him in the days when he was not in power and was not wealthy. An Hon. Member.—I did. Mr REES was glad to hear the honorable member say he bad. The honorable member who had said that, had been till lately an opponent of the Ministry. It was won- derful to see the transformations which came about, to see how people chopped and changed about : and they called it, he supposed, political consistency. He did not see that the reduction proposed could be agreed to. and from what he had heard in Committee, he was not pre-

He would not interfere with any thing that was being done for the Natives, especially when they saw that the sum of £8.000 granted for secret" service money last year had been reduced to £1,000 there was or:e vote to which he would object : That was the vote for the Maori newspaper. This paper had simply been used as a political organ by the Govern- ment. Honorable members knew something of other newspapers being used to influence Europeans, and it was just the same with this newspaper, which was and it to influence the Natives in favor of the Government and against the Opposition. He would oppose that vote because it was not only useless, but mischievous There was another Maori newspaper which it might be said was used by the Opposition, but it was supported by by private enterprise. Let the Waka Maori do the same and depend upon its own merits, and let the money of the country be spent to keep up a newspaper especially for the Government. He would merely add that he would prefer to see the vote for Native schools increased rather than diminished : but he would move. That the vote be reduced by the .£400 for the Maori newspaper. Mr. TAWITI wished ro reply to the statement of the honorable member for Auckland City East that he had been elected to support Sir George Grey. He was elected by the people to support the General Govern- ment. There were three candidates opposed to him at the election, who were supporters of Sir George Grey. He left Wiremu Katene out of the question, but none of those who voted for the other candidates voted for him ou that occasion. The honoroble member said a great many telegrams had been received about his (MrTawiti's) proceedings. Where did they come from, and what tribes objected to what had been done ? If the honor- able member had these letters and telegrams, lot him show them. The honorable member said that Sir Donald M'Lean had grot him on board the " Luna" and brought him from the district : but that was not the case. The •• Luna " happened to go to Hokianga, and he took his passage in her. He had not been bought by Sir Donald M'Lean, and had never received anything from him. It was said that he had been bought by the Government. but such was not the case. The only money he got. was the honorarium of the House : and that he would still re- ceive even if supported by Sir George Grey. How. then, could it be said that he was bought ? He supported the present Government because he believed they were right. He had no personal enmity against Sir George Grey. but he supported the present Government because they had done good work in his district. If Sir George Grey were iu the Government.he might perhaps support him. Mr. TAKAMOANA rose to speak un account <>£ what the honorable member for the Thames (Mr. Rowe) had stated. If the Ngapuhi wanted to elect a candidate to support the Government, they would have re-elected Wiremu Katene. He believed the candidate who was elected was elected to support Sir George Grey ; and all the other candidates except Wiremu Katene wore in opposition tu the Government. If the honorable member who represented the Northern Maori District had any document to produce from the Ngapuhi, then he would assent to what he said. The other three Native members had received letters from that district. That was an answer to the honorable member for the Thames. He had something to say also with reference to the praises of the Native Minister at the hands of his honorable friends the Native member for the Northern District and the Native member for the Thames. He wished the Com- mittee to understand that he knew Sir Donald McLean, and had been bis companion from his youth up to the present time. He did not know that nia works had been good.

He did not wish to speak about the money part of this ques- tion. It waa on account of the evils that had been com- mitted that he had spoken. He thought he had said it would be well to do away with the Assessors. The honorable member for the Middle Island thought he referred to the whole of the Assessors ; but he referred especially to the Assessors in his own district. He was not able speak about the Assessors of the Ngatiporou, referred to by Mr. Ormond, because they were military men. They were captains and majors, and wero not appointed as Assessors. The Ngatiporou were first em- ployed as soldiers. The Assessors he referred to were those in his own district. The two chiefs among them who had been appointed were Hapuka and Tareha. They were suffering under the grievance of land being pur- chased by the Native Minister. Henare Koura was another. Because he objected to the sale of the Seventy- mile Bush, his services were dispensed with. There was now no Assessor in Hawke's Bay. He was in the posi- tion of Assessor to the Government if he were paid. That was the reason why he did not speak on the money part of the question. He also took part in fighting against the Hauhaus. Be never asked for any pay. He only asked for the expenses he had been put to. The Minister knew that, and so also did Colonel Whitmore. He never had been paid yet for his food. The honorable member for Timaru knew whether he had received anything for his services. RETA I TUKUA MAI. KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA.
