THE Mangonui  Runanga, being the
second Maori Council held in New
Zealand under the  system of Native
Government introduced by Governor
Sir George  Grey was opened  by
the  President, W.  B. Whire, Esq.,
in. the presence of a highly interested
audience,, on the 29th of July, 1862.
 The popularity of the assembly was
demonstrated by a large concourse
of visitors, there being from 400 to
 500 Natives present, besides many
warm  hearted Europeans.


   The  Mangonui  District extends
from  Herekino Harbour,  or False
Hokianga  on the  West Coast, to
 Whangaroa  on  the East, being a
 coast line of 160 miles. The lands
 within this territory are considered
to be of superior quality, abounding
in cultivated grounds, for the most
" Ko nga pukapuka papai, e penei ana me nga hoa
  pono; te whakarere i a tatou—te mutu te ako—te
  whakatina."

Ko te Runanga o Mangonui, ko te
tuarua ia o nga Runanga Maori i Niu
Tireni i runga i te tikanga i whaka-
turia e Kawana Ta Hori Kerei, mo
te Kawanatanga o nga iwi Maori,—i
turia i te 29 o nga ra o Hurai, 1862,
ki te aroaro o te whakamenenga, e
tona Tumuaki e Te Waiti, i roto i
te whakamoemititanga, o te katoa.
I mohiotia ai te manawareka o te
tangata ki taua Runanga, he mea
titiro ki te reinga mai o te tini, e 400,
e 500  ranei, o nga tangata Maori,
haunga hoki nga  Pakeha ngakau
whakaaroha.
  Ko te Takiwa o Mangonui e maro
mai ana  i Herekino, i te tai Hau-
auru, tae noa ki te awa o Whanga-
roa, i te tai Rawhiti; haere ake te
roa o taua taha paenga moana, 160
maero.  Ko nga whenua  i roto i
enei kaha, e kiia ana, he momona;
a, he nui nga ngakinga kai; ko te

part, possessed by the Aupouri and ]
Karawa  tribes. There are many  
excellent farms, too, the property of 
enterprising Europeans, large flocks
of sheep, and herds of cattle. The 
Natives  concentrated from all parts 
of  the District, at Mangonui,  to
witness the  proceedings of its first
Parliament, and the visitors returned
 to their respective settlements, much
 pleased with so orderly and prompt
a mode  of regulating Native affairs.


   Mr. White in his opening address,
 suggests that the Natives  should
 bear a  portion  of  the  expense
 attendant  upon  their  local  self-
 government. We  deem it of im-
 portance to accustom the Natives as
 early as possible, to contribute to the
 fund set apart for their moral and
 political training, and when they are
 able, we hope that they will be willing
 and proud  to defray the whole of
 ihe expenses, which  are so gene-
 rously borne at the present time by
 their European brethren.





    By a reference to the President's
 speech, it will be found that the sum
 of £49  17s., being "fees and fines
 of the Courts  in the District," was
 placed by the Government  at the
 disposal of the Runanga, which sum
 it  voted as a contribution towards
 the erection of a Runanga House
  on a Native reserve in the valley of
  Oruru, five - acres of land having
    
  been given for the purpose above
  named, by the Chiefs.
    

    We   come now to notice a matter
  of important consequences and we
  beg to call especial attention to it,—
    
hira ia, o aua mara, na Te Aupouri,
na Te  Rarawa.  Tera  ano  etahi
pamu, na nga Pakeha ahuwhenua,—
nga kahui hipi hoki, me nga kau;
I hou tonu mai nga tangata i wha-
katika mai i rau kainga, i roto i taua
Takiwa ki Mangonui, ki te mataki-
taki i nga mahi o tona Paremeta
tuatahi; a, hoki ana ratou ki nga
kainga, i runga i te whakaoranga-
ngakau mo  to ratou kitenga i te pai,
i te tangatanga o te mahi whakarite
i nga tikanga Maori.

   E mea ake ana a Te Waiti, i roto
i tana korero tuatahi ki te Runanga,
kia  whakaarohia  e  ratou, e nga
 Maori, tetahi wahi o te utu mo to
ratou Kawanatanga.   Whakaaro  ai
matou, he tika kia pa te tono ki nga
Maori, i te puititanga o nga mahi,
 kia whakataua mai a muri o nga mea
 kua Oti te whakatakoto, mo to ratou
 kuranga i runga i te tika, i te mahi
 kawana hoki i a ratou; a, e mea ana
 matou, a te wa e taea ai tenei tika-
 nga utu e ratou, me whakaae nui, i
 runga i te whakaaro rangatira, kia
 utua katoatia nga  mahi o  te taha
 Maori, na te mea, ko o ratou tuakana
 Pakeha anake, i runga i te atawhai
 nui, kei te utu, i tenei o nga wa.

   Ki te tirohia te korero o te Tumu-
 aki, e kitea i puta te ki o te Kawana
 kia tukua ki te Runanga " nga moni
 o nga Whare Whakawa i roto i te
 Takiwa  o Mangonui," £49 17s.; a
 karangatia ana e te Runanga  kia
 motuhaketia era, hei moni tuatahi
! mo te  whakaarahanga  o  tetahi
 Whare  Runanga, ki te wharua  o
; Oruru, e rima hoki nga eka whenua

 i tukua mai e nga Rangatira mo taua
 tikanga.     

    Na, ka pa matou i konei ki tetahi
 mea e hira ana nga..hua, o roto. a, e
 karanga atu ana matou kia matatau
