(ADVERTISEMENT.) To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA. Salutations to you. Friend, put this notice into your news paper so that our thoughts may be known. These are ou- thoughts. We honor the Queen (or express our loyalty to our sovereign), and express our approbation of Sir George Grey, and to bis Government, and to his colleagues in the Parlia- ment. And we know that his Government will give their utmost consideration to those matters by which (to lighten) the yoke which has been laid on the Maori: people, and (hia Government) will also use their best endeavors to lay down some line of policy by which quiet peace and plenty may be conveyed to both races who inhabit New Zealand. Hence, we wish to inform all the world, that we (the tribes of Ngati- kahungunu) will support and uphold the Government of Sir George Grey. We also wish to give utterance to the following words, which is to remind all the officers of the late Government, including also any who may be officers of the present Go- vernment, that all said officers refrain from coming to our settlements, or district, to speak to us on any matter, whether of great or little importance, because we have been ruined by the work of those men. If such officers do persist in coming into our districts, we will cause them to depart in a manner disagreeable to themselves. Now (let such officers) take notice that we have spoken our words, and we will not act in any other way than we have (herein) stated. We have fully con- sidered, and carefully pondered over all these matters. All the people who may come to us in accordance with our approval, will be the men of this Government and their new officers, who may not have been in the employ of the late Government. AU the above was ageed to by us at a meeting at the Waiohiki on the night of the 15th of this month (December). 1877. This, therefore, is from us from all the tribes of Ngati- kahungunu, whose names are signed hereunder. But there is one word more (we wish to give expression to). Let the tribes of these islands approve the following or not. Let your work be in accordance with ours, so that we may act as one and have but one thought, so that we may escape from the deceit and duplicity which now envelops us all.
