"LET THE PAKEHA AND THE MAORI BE UNITED."
HIS Excellency the Governor has directed the following circular to be published in the "Manuhiri Tuarangi":My Friends, — Persons of both races who are ignorant of my intentions have spread reports that I desire to deprive the Maories of their lands ; aud to destroy the influence of their chiefs. This is not true. I have told you often that Her Majesty has guaranteed "to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand, and to the respective families and individuals thereof, the full, exclusive, and undisturbed possession of their lands and estates, forests, fisheries, and other properties
which they may collectively or individually possess, so long as they wish to retain the same in their possession." I repeat this assurance to you again now, and I call upon all true and faithful Maories to contradict any report, coming either from European or Native, which throws doubt on this pledge. Her Majesty desires that her subjects of both races should dwell in peace together; and those who continue to do so may rest assured that they will not be molested either in property or person. Thomas Gore Browne, Governor. Government House, Auckland, March 4th, 1861.
