find that we will do our utmost for you. (.Cheers.) My \\
own  desire will be that this place, which   really with a
good deal of difficulty 1 acquired for the European race,
shall attain to that prosperity that  I believed it would
reach when  I succeeded in gaining  it for settlement by
British subjects.   (Cheers.)  If I  can end  my  life in
carrying out the dreams which I formed upon those hills,
looking down  over these plains when they were a wild
waste—when    there was but a mission station here under
Mr. Colenso, one European resident in the town, and no
other persons occupying it—if the dreams I then formed
of this great and fertile country come to be realised, and
 if, in greater old age, I come  back  and  witness the
realisation of those dreams, I shall experience the happi-
ness of seeing that which I have wished for years to have
seen brought about.  Sir George Grey resumed  his seat,
 amid enthusiastic and prolonged cheers.)
  Mr.  SHEEHAN,  who  was  loudly  called upon, next
addressed  the  meeting.   He  said : Mr. Chairman and
 Gentlemen,—After  five months constant speaking, I feel
 a dread of it now, and nothing but the welcome given to
 me by the people of Napier  to-day would induce me to
 say a single word. I should be wanting in respect to the
 people of Napier if I stood quietly by without tendering
 my very  grateful thanks for the cordial welcome  they
 have given to my honorable colleague and myself to-day.
 I cannot forget that I came here about four years ago a
 poor stranger, one against whom  many  of  you  were
 taught to believe the worst  of things ; but I think, by
 this time, you know me better.  (Cheers.)  Although I
 have had work of an unpleasant character to do with cer-
 tain public men, whenever I had a chance I have always
 endeavoured  to promote  the best interests of the .great 
 bulk of the people of this place. I do nut wish to under
 estimate the men whom  you sent to the Assembly, but I 
 can say for myself, that whenever anything  was brought
 forward by them  in which the interest of .Napier has been 
 concerned,!  was always at their back giving them every
 support in my power.  (Cheers.)  I do not wish  new  to 
 occupy your time in discussing public questions. I have 
 not  the ability fur developing  great principles as  my  
 honorable  friend Sir George  Grey, but  I will say this
 much,  that when he has matured his plans ho will receive
 from  rue every assistance in carrying them into practical 
 effect.  (Cheers.)  The  time  has come  when   we must  
 make  a fresh departure. "We cannot afford to have the 
 country governed by a few people : the population is too
 great, and the progress of material prosperity is too great 
  also, to permit of such a  state of things ; and if the ;
 people  insist upon obtaining more power,  before twelve  
 months  are over I believe they will have a large and fair 
 share in the government of the country. (Loud cheers.)
  We  know, as a matter of fact, that for many years past
 that has not been the case. I do not mean to say that, you
  have suffered very grievously by it, except in one serious
  respect ; that is, the landed estate, which ought to be au
  inheritance for the people for years to come, has to a
  large extent been mopped up  by a few people. (Hear.
  and cheers.)  But it is still possible to remedy those de-
  fects to some extent. We   can have  a better representa-
  tion—we  can have a fairer system of taxation, and you
  can have such a state of things as will give to those men
  whose taxation makes up the revenue of the colony some
  larger share in saying  how  it shall  be  disposed  of.
  (Cheers.") That being the case, and having heard a pro-
  gramme  put before you much more ably than I could do
  it, you must excuse me if I conclude my remarks. I have,
  of course, addressed the people of Napier before. I have
  always told them frankly my opinions, and I have always
   pleasure in doing so. So far as I aro concerned, I should
   cave been quite content to come  into Napier quietly in
   my usual way, and I would have  got my  desserts, for I
  am no better than other people, but I am glad to see you
   turn out in a creditable manner to do homage to one

  shall teach me to go correctly ? Shall I go as in a canoe

 George Grey.
   RENATA  KAWEPO  : Welcome  io you my elder brother !
  Welcome  to you Hoani  Nahe  ! Greetings, I salute you
  both.  If you  had been  defeated, I would then  have
  greeted you in other words, I would then have mourned for
  you, and said, ; Depart oh friends, depart." But now I
  see you return victorious, therefore I greet you and say,
  welcome.   I specially congratulate you. Sir George Grey.
  on your victorious return this day. This is my  word  to
  you, my  inana, which was  confirmed by  the Treaty of
  Waitangi,  still remains in force. The Treaty of "Waitangi,
  which declared that the mana of my land should remain
  with me.   But you, the pakeha, have come, and are now
  burying that mana out of sight. This is a word of mine
  to you, unearth this mana and let it. come forth, because
  it is upheld and authorised by the word of the Queen, viz.,
  by the Treaty of Waitangi. This is why I now ask you
  to uncover   my  maua,  and  take the earth from off it.
  Sufficient, my words to you are ended.
    HARAWIRA  TATERE  : "Welcome, oh, men  who  have
  escaped from the battle. this is the day on which I have
  cast aside the grief that has been so long annoying me.
  We were determined, in this session of Parliament to test
  the point whether we should be  annihilated or not. Our
  fathers are all dead. We have found new  life to welcome
  you.  I wish to act in accordance with the laws of the
  Scriptures. Welcome,   Sir George Grey and Mr. Sheehan
  to our home ; welcome all the Native members to our home.
  (Addressing Mr. Sheehan.)  At the meeting at Pakipaki,
  I put you on the top of my head by my  supreme  lord.
  Now, you  are Native Minister, you are thrice my supreme
  lord ; come back to your people, the Natives of Hawke's
  Bay. I  have heard the words of each and every Go-
  vernor.  I am a  Government   man.  I am an assessor. I
  have had to do with land disputes. Some of the Euro-
  peans have not acted justly with me, but I was so grieved
  and so long put down that I was determined I would go
  back to my   own  people, and if they died, to die with
  them.  The Native Land  Court is not an institution which
  gives us justice in all instances. I had to  do with ad-
  judicating in the Native Land Court, but satisfaction has
  not been given in all instances. I have returned to ray
  own people, and if asked again to join in the Native Land
  Court, I  will say "No."   Welcome,   Sir  George  Grey, to
  the people. I agree with what Renata asked you, to shake
  the dust off certain things. Some lands have been \_
  ated  justly, others  have  not.
