The Committee of the Wananga did arrange that
these appointments should last only three months from
the beginning of October to the 25th of December so
that it will give this Committee time to the 25th
of December to reflect upon which canoe (tribe) the
votes will be affirmed on by this. Committee. • We will
hot approve of the majority o£ votes, if it is not approved
of it will not be confirmed.
It will be sent to each canoe (tribe) to-mention
their price for this paper, and each canoe, (tribe) will
vote for their price and return, the same to the Chair-
man of this Committee to be approved of, and we will
Tote also on .which canoe (tribe), it will be confirmed.
That is the reason-we stated it to be only for three
months, so it will give each, canoe time to send their
thoughts to us in November, dont wait till January
that will be behind the day we appoint; viz;, 25th
December which will give us time to look about. We
shall issue on the 25th December, and you, will receive
the same on the 1st January 1875..
..... And, if any person wishes to ask,for.a. copy,of this
paper to write his proper name, and residence, so that
we shall understand where to send them,and also
(Tainui) to send his proper name instead of (Tainui.)
Friend, the reason that each canoe (tribe) has to
state its price, is because the Press is for the whole
Island, and therefore we cannot best show these reasons
to our canoes (tribe.)
When you vote, call together the tribe or persons
to see their votes, Magistrates, Policeman, or Chiefs
and also write their names so that we may approve of
them..

TE WANANGA.
If any tribe, or hapu, do not know the meaning
of voting, and if any anxious for the Wananga, We
have elected a Committee for the Wananga, and also a
Chairman who will have authority from the Committee,
Although they may be four or five Members, and also
write their names at the end of these words.
Friends, If a canoe (tribe) or canoes (tribes,) are
anxious of voting that there should not be any price for
the-paper, we will not accept it. There is the Post
Office it must have a stamp or else the Mail wont take
it, and also the persons who are working at the Press
they must be paid so that will be difficulty, if you
vote that there should not be any pay for the paper.
The first voting will be for the Committee.
The second will be for the Chairman.
Thirdly, and also a person under the Chairman,
and also others persons under them if you are anxious
for this work.
Fourly, the price for the paper, by the year or
by the month
All the words to be looked into. And also state
your returns and the electing of the Committee, and
also send the principal word of different canoes (tribes)
and fix a proper method for us to see and think of.
Friends, when you send letters to the Wananga,
please direct it thus, Henry Tomoana, Pakowhai,
Napier.

Friend, Salutation to you. We have seen your
Advertisement, do not press forward the canoe so that
the canoe will live, build a house so that it will be
dry, look at sickness and health ; as to our Ignorance
of Establishing laws for Ourselves, in the day of the

also when the Land was in its proper state, our

fallen into the mouth of the (Parata.) You are-right
Friend, to search for a way by which we the Maori
tribes will prosper in circumstances, Listen all you
young chiefs of all different districts, it is a proper
thing that We should strive to find food for ourselves
for which I hope we shall try. Christ did not come
to the wealthy only, but to the destitute as well. -
You will insert these few words so that our
Maori and Pakeha, Friends through the whole Island
will see them.

SEPTEMBER 24th 1874.
To the Editor of the Wananga.
Friend. Greeting, to you.
Will you insert, the words shastoote other corres-
pondents can see them. (Returning thought,) Friends ]
listen to what thoughts said when he returned from the
road to death. It says that it was our parent who
carried us to death in the days which are past. And
these parents are carrying us now to death also, and
also whipping (whiu) our parent the land. We must
not say that there is another wealth for us in this
world, and let not our thoughts say—"That God will
make another land for us " No, God is not a child,
hut this is what God said in the 5th Commandment,
Honour your father and mother &c. That is right,
and it is right that we should think more of our other
parents the land. What would your father and mother
leave you if there was no land, that you be only born
to this world, and it was by the land you lived,
according to some portion of the 5th Commandment.
My Friend, seek into these few words and joint them
into our minds, that good will grow amongst us.
Perhaps some one might say—well, I have no land I
will live long, and I am wealthy, that is true, but by
having your name in the line amongst the names or
big persons you got that wealth ; but there is an end
to that wealth, the wealth will go and leave a person
destitute, but the wealth of the land is a long; wealth.
It is the body of a person that leaves the wealth of the
land, here is another, be cautions of,persons that will
beguile you, he might make you look up and take your
property from under you. We must not say that it is
only Satan that is betraying us, to be misled, no, Satan
is staying on the tip top of a persons tongue, but which
is the principal shown to us. It is the Europeans
which beguile us, they are the only race that knows
how to beguile people, (Maori) thoughts, Thought that
the Maories and Europeans were united together with
one mind and love, bat unity was only at the lips, not
for the body- The reason perhaps it was made like
this was that the beguiling would not be seen, and be
a good way to make our eyes look upwards and also be
a good way of taking our property from under us.
That is what thought thinks, there is not a year passes
by without the Europeans are buying Maori lands,
because they know that is the proper parent of a person
so they will buy the land-every year. Here is another,
If we are sick in body the Europeans are sorry for us,
but if there is any sickness about land they are not
sorry. The Laws are not translated to the Maories,
Listen thoughtful Maories to what thought says, look
at the beginning of our sickness, and look also at the
beginning of the Europeans wealth, thought says it is
from the land, why do we waste it away our wealth,
perhaps some one might say, the land was paid for
money, that is right, but land is the father of money,
If there were no land what, would money make for
you, money is in the land &c., .you cannot get any from
space, they all came from the land, and also the man,
and that is the very reason that land is the parent oi
man, now I see says-thought, what the Europeans says
is right, that the: Maori race is a dog, and did not
know how to behave kindly to their parents the land
This, race is like a bird which has no knowledge, when

We have learnt since we thought of starting a
paper, that ihe first English Newspaper was printed
about 250 years ago; and up till now they have
•gone on improving, every year. This is our first
attempt and errors may have been overlooked, which
to some of our readers may appear strange and we
would therefore ask for your patience for the present,
Our object in starting the paper was to enlighten
ourselves on some subjects which are at present un-
known to us, and which if we had understood earlier,
would have been greatly to our benefit: also by an
interchange of thought between ourselves and the
Europeans still better to learn their ways. We shall
at all times strongly uphold every thing that we
think will benefit not only our present generation,
but also our young people to whom we more
especially look. On the of their hand we will consider
fairly anything which at first we are not inclined to
accept, knowing that in the world, many men have
many minds.

We have received your notice to the Maori chiefs

who are residing on this side of the Island, and
their thoughts likewise, this (Kura) is decayed, and
this port Mautean is broken and this canoe the
Arawa has returned to the mouth of the (Parata,)

a silver anchor, this is the way I propose to pull it,
throw, the principal persons and the rest will fall.

Papa, ki taku mahara ki nga whenua i Ketia, me

2s". 6d. te utu mo te kau kotahi i roto i te tau, mo
te hoko, 15 tau, e 600 nga kau e 3s 6d te utu mo te
kau kotahi, otira kai te paunga o nga moni te tikanga,
ki te mana enei tikanga ma nga Mema tonu e arahi

E 20 nga ringa ma i roto i tenei Iwi i a
Rangitihi, e 40 tangata kua whero nga ringa, tenei
taku whenua ko te Haehaenga, he whenua tena i rite
ki te kapata kai a taku tupuna, a taku koroua, a taku
matua tae noa ki a au, tae noa ki taku tamaiti, he
whenua hoki tera i rite, ki te parani whare, me tu

tama ki te waha e tararau mai ra, na runga aua mai o
te hiwi nui e, o te hiwi roa e, tau-arai mai nei e, he
ideas are that land should be leased for six years,
and put 300 heads of cattle on it at 2s. 6d. per year,
Land for sale 15 years, 600 heads of cattle at 3s. 6d.
per year, but this method will see when the money
is consumed, If the plans are agreed to. It should
be the members that should lead them to the Maori
race.
They are 20 white hands amongst this tribe
(Rangitihi) and also 40 their hands are red. This
my Land the (Haehaenga,) That land is like a
cupboard from my ancestors, forefather, father down
to me, and my child, the said land is like the
verandah of a house my ancestors flag shall stand
there from then to now to me, but at the time of the
Government money, there were several persons who
came in by the word of the law by your words you
will be right and by your words you will be wrong
whether his ancestor only tread his foot on it. He
will receive the money from the Government, to
enable him on, this is the first, for my land which I
left for my children &c., (Te tuara o Maruhiku,
Putauaki, to Ruawahia, from Tauwharepourakau, to
Raoraototara, part of the Pokohu, io Mounga-wha-
kamaira, to the plains part of the Pokohu to Taina
Pekapeka, to were Tuhourangi,) was born this is the
way that the Government Officers do here, If any
person will hold there land he will go to another
person and give him money a person out side should
come and see to their wrongs, the parliament is the
place for settling these affairs. Friend Henry, will
you and the Members also correct the words in that
letter, and let it go to the Wananga, and also the
parliament of New Zealand. That is all,
