Eta ma, tenei te ngakau te rapu nei. Ka noho ka titiro whakamuri atu matou ki nga whawhai, ki nga raruraru, ki nga pouritanga, ki nga aha atu, o tenei motu i muri
mai o te taenga mai o te pakeha, te kitea hoki e matou te putake nana i whakatupu nga he e mate nei tatou inaianei, mete mea nana i whakatangata ke te pakeha raua ko te maori. I toku taenga mai ki tenei moutere pai tonu toku ngakau ki nga tangata i rokohanga mai e au i konei e noho ana. Ki hai au i mea kia riri ki a ratou, kia takahi ranei i a ratou, ki.iaha ranei, kiaaharanei. Ta aku i hiahia ai, kia noho tahi i runga i te aroha, i te pai, tetahi ki tetahi ; kia ako au i a ratou i nga ritenga e pai ai ratou, e puta ake ai i roto i te kuaretanga i rokohanga mai ai e au enoho ana, kia rite ratou ki au aao te whairawa mete ora. A, kai te hiahia hoki auki enei ritenga pai inaianei ano—he nui toku hiahia pera e mau nei. Me titiro kite tohu o to te pakeha ngakau. i runga i te whakaaro o te Kawanatanga mo nga tangata o Tauranga. Ki hai i whakaaro te j>akeha no roto i te whawhai en a tangata ; ki hai i whakaaro kua mate ona whanaunga i a ratou te patu, ko te aroha-an ake kia puta tanai whakaaro ai. No konei ka whakaorangia ratou, ka hoatu he purapura hei whakatupu kai ma ratou, ka waiho atu te nuinga o te whenua ki a ratou ano, ka whakatumautia etahi wahi ki a ratou, ki a ratou tamariki, ake, ake, ake atu—kia kore e taea e nga tamariki te hoko atu i aua wahi me ka nui haere te pakeha i tetahi wh;ikatupuranga, koi noho mate i muri iho. Ka rangatira nga tamariki i ena whenua ka whakatumautia atu ki a ratou, no te mea ka Like nui tonu te ritenga o aua wahi i te takiwa e nui haere ai te pakeha. Ma te pakeha hoki e whakanui te whenua e nui ai; ka kore he pakeha hei noho, hei aha hoki te whenua ? kaore ra, hei oneone noaiho—he rarauhe anake tana kai, he moni i kore. Ac ra! E hiahia ana au kia kake tak u hoa maori; kia puta tona ingoa i roto i n<ra iwi o te ao. Kei hea rawa te tangata mana tenei e whakateka ? Kahore ra he tangata. Otira kaore ano tenei kia tino
taea e au nga ritenga pai e hiahia nei au. Ahakoa manawanui noa au, ahakoa tupato noa au, kua tupu ake ano te tautohe, te puhaehae, te whawhai marire ano. He aha ra i penei ai ? Ki hai tenei hanga te tangata i kiia hei hanga tautohetohe, hei hanga whawhai, tetahi ki tetahi, rae te kuri nei ano te ahua. Taukiri koe te Maori! nga uri o Maui! E hoatu ana he pai ki a koutou; e meatia ana kia hapainga tou ingoa ki roto i nga iwi o te ao—he rere anake i a koe ! Otira ko te tino take i tupu mai ai nga he, me nga kino, ki ta matou titiro, ko nga whenua kaore ano kia puea ake i roto i te maoricanga ; nga iwi e pupuri tonu ana i nga tikanga o namata. Otira, e kore e oti tena taha o te korero i tenei nupepa; waiho, hei tera nupepa whakaoti ai.
