WHANGANUI,
JUNE 15TH 1874:.
A Petition from all of us, whose names are signed
at the foot hereof, to all the Members of the
Parliament to grant this request of ours for some Law
to be passed by the Assembly, and the Government
affecting this evil thing, grog, which is destroying us,
so that a "stop may be put to drinking among the
Maoris, for that is at the root of the evils from
which we . suffer. These are the evils:—It im-
poverishes us; our children are not born healthy,
because the parents drink to excess and the children
suffer. It muddles men's brains, and they, in
ignorance, sign important documents, and get into
trouble thereby; grog also turns the intelligent men
of the Maori race into fools. Again, grog is the cause
of .various diseases which afflict us, we are also liable
to accidents such as tumbling off horses, and falling
into the water. These things occur though drunken-
ness. It also leads on men to take improper liberties
with other men's wives ; and it is the cause of men
fighting with each, other. In fact, there are in-
numerable evils brought upon. the Maori race by
grog. We therefore ask that a very stringent Law
may be passed to keep away this very evil thing
from the Maories altogether. Let only medical men
have authority to allow the people to take liquor
medicinally, if they think it will lead to the recovery
of the patient or patients whom they may be treating.
That would be right, Sufficient, we trust that all the
Members of the House will grant our prayer.
From us all to Mr. Fox, Friend, we give this
Petition to you, and request that you will urge that
the prayer of it may be granted, and an Act passed to
stop the Maories drinking. If you have any regard
for us the Maori people, send away this evil Leviathan
which, you brought to this Island to destroy us, our
Lands, and our children. Sufficient, friend, be strong
There is an. ever existing God to look at good works,
and at the people who are good and show kindness to
to the poor and foolish ones of the earth. Sir, do
this for us, Long may you be spared on account of
your energy in raising your voice against this great
snake liquor, during the years which, have passed.
Sufficient, from your friends who are living in
sadness on account of this evil.
Haimona te Ao-o-te-Rangi.
And 167 others, males and females.

To the Wananga.
Friends salutations to you, we send you our
opinions in order that they may be published to the
two races the European and the Maori with respect
to the correctness of the statements by Karanama
Rakapa and their Runanga to the effect that their
Land have been seized by Mr. Booth and Wi Parata.

TE WANANGA.
Friend, the statements of Karanama, Rakapa
and their Runanga about Waihoanga and Wairarapa
are wrong. These Lands are the real property of
these Hapus. These Lands were not given to us by
the Court, we claim them through, permanent occupa-
tion of these Hapus, the Ngatingarangi and the
Ngatituara at Waihoanga and Wairarapa and therefore
the Court and Mr. Booth and Wi Parata knew that
our title to this Land was correct. Karanama uas
no title to these Lands, neither has Kakapa. The
Land on which, her fire was burning is still in her
possession, with, reference to the word that Karanama's
Land is Horowhenua he is trying to seize all the
Land as security for the money of the Government
which he has spent and Rakapa wants to seize the
Land as security for Johnny Martin's money which
she has spent, therefore Karanama is making con-
fusion about our Land. Friend the proverb quoted
by Karanama is wrong where he says "He kura te
tangata, he kura te korero ;" the "kura" to the Land
is wrong, Karanama states that he met Booth, like a
crawfish on the road and that this is the evil done by
these persons Booth and Wi Parata and the Court.
We do not see in what respect these persons have
done wrong. That is all our answer to the words
of Kakapa and Karanama and their Runanga.

OCTOBER 24TH 187S.
To the Editor of the Wananga.
Friend greeting to you, here is your boy just
awoke from a sleep, I was awakened by the sweetness
of your song on my ears, this is your song:-—
Where have you been unseen son
By the break of day
Hunu manu, a person
Huru gentle a work for us,
In the act of love
To (Taane 'Matau') which, is standing,
On the safe side,
Taane with, the large (Kaukau,)
Taane with, the long (Kaukau,)
The works of (Rua-te-pupuri,)
And Rua-te-mahara
Who Tangaroa did pierce with, holes,
And pass through, and through,
And through the Heart.
E hoa ma, e he ana te korero a Karanama a
Rakapa, me to raua Runanga, mo Waihoanga mo
Wairarapa. Ko enei whenua, he whenua tuturu no
enei Hapu, e hara i te mea na te Kooti i homai enei
whenua, kia matou. E rangi, na te ahi ka tonu,
na te noho tuturu o enei Hapu, o Ngatingarangi,
o Ngatituara, i Waihoanga, i Wairarapa, na kona
te Kooti, a Puutu a Wi Parata, i mohio ai he tika
o matou take ki enei whenua, ko Karanama kaore
ona take ki aua whenua, ko Rakapa kaore ona take
ki aua whenua, ko te whenua i kaa ai tana ahi kei
a ia ano. Te kupu ra, ko te whenua o Karanama,
ko Horowhenua, e hao ana i te whenua hei taunga
mo nga moni a te Kawanatanga i pau i a ia, me
Rakapa, e hao ana i te whenua, hei taunga mo nga
moni a Teone Matene i pau i a ia, koia te take e
whakararuraru nei a Karanama i o matou whenua.
E hoa ma, e he ana nga whakatauki a Karanama,
e ki nei ia, he kura te tangata, he kura te korero,
ko te kura ki te whenua, e he ana. Te kupu a
Karanama e ki ana, tutaki a koura maua ko Puutu
ki te huarahi, ko te he tenei mo Puutu, mo Wi
Parata, nao te Kooti, ki ta matou mohio, kaore he he
o enei tangata. Heoti ano, nga utu nao nga korero
a Rakapa, a Karanama, me to raua Runanga.
Na te Kipihana te Keho, Na Oriwia,

Then you called unto me, you said, get up, it is
me the Wananga of your ancestors, the word to yon
is only one, to "bid this Island, the meaning of these
words and if these words are agreed to by this Island
or by some tribe of this Island, and the real meaning-
of them all then the flower of (Taanes) graden will
come. And if not, these are the said words :—
The main body which, never breaks
The long diving shag that dives on straight.
Phe Rua which is covered,
The rock that stands in the Ocean,
The bird that flies away.
These are the words you left with me. but this
is an inquiry to you the Wananga, if it is true, or is
it only a dream of mine, but I will wait untill I
receive your word, then I will know if it is right or
wrong.
Peter te Wharerangi.
It is true that we are a Wananga, but we did
not mean to be au eye for a blind person. Peter
should look to our words of the Wananga, and let his
own eyes look properly to the words of the Wananga,
so that he will receive alike answer for his questions
which, he inquires in this letter.

I
TAKEN FROM THE HAWKES BAY HERALD.
NOVEMBER 18TH 1874.
Which says.—That the present Superintendent of
Auckland is apt to promise to much. This has given
him the soubriquet of "promising John." A Native
of the Bay of Plenty district said a good tiling to
him the other day. He had been promising the
good people a wharf at Ohiwa (and it is said the
work will shortly be undertaken,) but the Maori,
addressing Mr. Williamson said. "The wharf is very
short, but the talk about it is very long," and finished
up by suggesting that if the Government could not
manage the wharf, they might furnish, him with a
cart, an article he had been wanting for some time.
The wharf was promised, and the matter of the cart
referred to the Native Minister's department, with
what result remains to be seen, but the shrewdness
of the Maories remark to Mr. Williamson will not be
forgetten. Mr. Williamson has done good service
to the Province of Auckland, and has its interests, no
doubt, sincerely at heart, but he is apt from the good
nature of his disposition to promise sometimes, what
he cannot perform, and the Natives appear to know
this as well as the Pakeha.

PAPAWAI, (WAIRARAPA.)
OCTOBER 26TH 1874.
To the Editor of the Wananga.
And also the officials under him, you are the
declarer of the thought of the people of this Island,
and also to the ends of the globe, That is all the
greeting to you, Here I am an ignorant person coming
to you for to teach me wisdom but first reveal to me
the meaning of you Sneeze (Matihe) which you allude
to. Is ii up or down, whether it is as I think, Has
(Wehi's) got the year which is spread on this Island ?
That is all.
Issac te Moe.
You are inquiring as to the proverb which is said
by the Wananga. (Tihe-mauri-ora,) have you not
heard that in former days that it was (Tanenuiarangi,)
who made man after his own image, and that it was
(Tanenuiarangi,) who mixed the clay of the earth to be
a man to make like his own image. When the legs,
hands, and all the body was finished when (Tanenuia-
rangi) stooped down to the clay of the earth which was
like his image, and then (Tanenuiarangi) put the
breath from his mouth to this image, so the image woke
up and (Mauri-tihe'd.) Then (Tanenuiarangi) said
(Tihe-mauri-ora,) In this manner (Tanenuiarangi,)
said to his image has the said clay of the earth delivered
a man, and he was like a man, and that is the reason
(Tanenuiarangi) called out (Tihe-mauri-ora.) But
however the Maori has been several years seeking the
road to obtain the same knowledge as the Europeans»
That is the reason it is taken by the Wananga, and if
the teaching work of the Wananga is done, the
Maories will pass from the ignorant or low work in
which he lives solitary to live properly and he will then
be a like and have the same wisdom, which saved the
Europeans and to rear himself according to the Laws
of the Land as the Europeans.

rapu ana i te ara mona e tae ai tona matauranga ki to

TA. ihe Wananga. Friend greeting to you.
We the tribes here received a copy of your
Wananga. Greeting, and we have seen also your
greeting towards us, Friend, I will not be able at
present to send correspondence as a load for you, the
reason you will see by this bit of poetry.
Here is Taihakoa (moon) thirteen days old,
Here is the lice who sleeps on its side,
And shrubs of Aotea,
Which, stands in the forest,
A trench, for you who stew reluctance to move,
In a lonesome house,
This night daylight will not come soon,
We will climb the hills of Manahia,
I will delay no longer,
For the travellers at the South,
To your parent they will easely go,
To gather same Titope,
AB a garment for your sister,
And not for you. E tama, E tama, &c., &c.

TE WAIU, (RANGIPO.)
NOVEMBER 26TH 1874.
To Henry Friend, salutation to yon.
Give this letter to the Wananga, so that is will be
taken to our European friends, to look at, and think of
the good idea of Messrs. Walker and William Mc-
Donald, on my thoughts for them to pay for their goods,
cattle and sheep going on Maori Lands, In the district
Kuripapango from Napier to Patea. This is the pay-
ment I received from Mr. Walker for one night of his
cattle being at Owhiti -£2, and Mr. McDonald £8.
Friends this is not to be a fixed price, but we are
thinking of a proper price, and it will be shown to you,
perhaps you will say that this mere talk. No, *it is
true and this is the reason I am showing this to
persons driving sheep and pack horses to pay for the
grass of the above said district, to the owners of cattle
and sheep, the grass of the district. We are thinking
of keeping to feed our horses and sheep which we are
breeding, and to feed the horses carrying the wool to
Napier to be sold. I think the work of the sheepherd
of the Kohurau is wrong, in stopping our cattle from
eating the grass of Kuripapango, the said Land is not
leased yet by Renata Kawepo to Europeans, and the
Europeans have no control of these Lands, but the
control of the said person is on the Kohurau, on the
condition of Paul Kaiwhata's lease, but Kuripapango is
yet under the control of Renata Kawepo, to which he
holds.

pango ki a matou kuri, e he ana te mahi a taua Hepara,
ko taua Whenua kaore ano i tukua e Renata Kawepo,
