The Dunedin Echo rays :—We are over governed, yet under-governed — over-governed where political support requires a department, under-governed when the case refers to a conquered race. There is not a single ollieia.l Maori interpreter to watch over the interests, legal, moral, and religious, of the natives, in a sttictiy official capacity. ■lf we were not ground down, by taxes \\ hieh elsewhere would create a rebellion ; if we were not about ro hang a load of debt about our necks, simply to suit the ulterior views of politicians who make us their puppets, —we would not growl ; : but where we spend so much, we have a right fco ask that all the interests of the Colony should receive an equivalent for our intolerable taxation.
