fiu,— ll iVperfretly sickening to read the rub1 bit thut ib ami lo you by some cfyom- frontier T<mspond«ritt> l more particularly from Alexj ■ c'r.i, on «th» abore subject, and tho Governors Mnt. Tljci wein to qjuie igDore that the Queen "■ Queen oi Kew Zr»land, aud that the so called I'aou King i 8 a-nbel, nnd lhat all udvances Jimstbe-iiiar'eby him, and if he is so anxious ioi peace or.d to Jire io friendship with us, why ■ t.( ts he- cot a'l in accord vwtii his profession, not Mieclly opposi'o to them by harboring all tho jrir<]eiers aud thieves that fly to bis plarc. Vv by, the-J{ing,-oountry, as it i& catted, is looked on as a perfect Aleatia by hl\ the bad characters and there are plenty of them) amongst tho S Rons. Thero used sw be a so tailed King of Ala.tia, but I h-iTe never heard of our Kingß or (,'uu us treating with them. Is it not .quite as vaty lor his r.iggcd Mi-jesly to go to Auckland ai lor th(> Governor lo come up hero ? Of course 1 Know thatrJl tlicse ecr.bbleis end this scnLbla -also, will not have the slightest ffiVct, but if the 'Ocvejnor isihe t.nsible man he is said to be. 1 r will no» cone'escend to go noar the rebels, .ia it v ould be lowering the dignity of tho Crown to f o to. It they want lo be friends let them como in and take the oath of alleguuco to the Queen ; Jf rot, lit them alone. Tho only policy that should be acted on is, to let them alone, a* I n id before, but the truth oi the matter is that t her* is a Email army, Pakeha Wuons, half castes md loafers, &c, viho do not, want the abovo j-olicy carried out, as they livo by tho carrying i n ol the humbug, how, it would r.ot do to in-««im-e to close into, but any one that has his eves #p«i can pee il. Oi c of the above class who , km! half crszey goes about with his pockets li.ll of telegrams, and if he can button-hole any rorrfel'ow, ho will b«vin to rend them to him, telling him hoir that they aie the latest ho has •wired down, he represents himself to be a correspondent of cne of the Auckland papeia, and to Tutige fiom some of the native nows -u it, I think he h. If Tv Tawhio, comes into town, another vcll-known Pakeha ilaoii is eeen showing him icnnd, the-Piid P M wuh bis hat in his hand. Iho ivholo truth of the matter is, that tho 1 umbng must be kept up, or else this class will 'he hard up, r lhe above is n little insight into a groat piece •cf humbug.— l am, &c, Anti Hnimuo.
