Wa?V have spent the money given fdr tho ~ jand, yet the land remains. Be strong, 0 Government, and hurst these men up quickly, and give the' Maoris baok v their land. Also the confiscated land, that the good works;of Jhe Govern-'*' ' ment may be complete. Aud (vdsuall' then sleep on the land of our fatberb. Do men love to live .on potatoes alone ?
