The Anglo-Maori Warder. THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1848.

The Anglo-Maori Warder, which had been abandoned by the editor as unseaworthy, has been refitted, by the unsolicited exertions of our fellow-townsmen, and now sails out upon a second cruize. This journal was dropped because of the very limited circulation which it had hitherto been able to attain ; for it was, in fact, not nearly paying its own expenses. It now appears, however, that the estimation in which it was held was by no means to be measured by the actual support which it received; for so soon as announcement of its withdrawal was made, the strongest expression of desire to see it resumed poured in from every side, and the Warder was absolutely borne in again on the shoulders of old and new subscribers. The editor will not affect to undervalue the high compliment that has been paid him. He has a right to take pride in it; and is conscious that any attempt to disguise the feeling might be justly interpreted as a supercilious disregard of opinion. But he is the better pleased likewise, inasmuch as it relieves him from a grave responsibility ; inasmuch as it is plain proof that the justice of those strictures which were made last week—for once, without reserve—has been fully and eagerly acknowledged. The responsibility that has been now shared among so many, is reduced to feather weight. The Warder will be again carried on as heretofore ; steering wide of agitation, doing its utmost to promoie unity of feeling, and brotherly goodwi!!, not alone between opposite parties in a single settlement, but between the rival settlements themselves; never attacking without being driven to it, bat then—in very earnest. All half measures, all trifling or temporising, is uttetly disavowed. It has never yet resorted to any claptrap means of working itself into popularity—lost almost as soon as gnined, when acquired by such expedients ; it has not followed undeviatingly in the wake of popular opinion, though best pleased to be able to coincide with it; it has never restrained itself from the expression of any seuti.r.ent that might possibly not fall the prevailing humour of the day : without courting popularity, the Warder has rather done lis utmost to deserve it. And the result has not been one of disappointment.
