THURSDAY AUQUaTU 1370

The native intelligence received by telegram from Alexandra whicli we publish elsewhere ia more than usually inteiesting and important. It was Cobbett, wo think, who said that the wildest radical becomps a conservative when possessed of a cow and a pot-ito patch, and the Maori can give no hotter material guarantee of his peaceful and orderly intentions than his planting largely, and more especially when t,l rat planting is undertaken as close »c possiblu on {he frontier tor the sake of com. manding n market for his produce. Nor is it only the natives in this part of the island who are making -more extensive preparations than here oforo for spring planting. From ll'e IVnnaki papers, we learn that the t>atm's in that distrfot are also thus eu^.'^ .3, the object assigned being Hint ut futuie meeUiiirs there shal 1 bo le*H likelihood of their running out of food than heretofore. In tLo case of th« Waikatos and Ngatimani.ipotoq, however, thosctaßsutne^ * wider and deeper significance than this, <>r i \en than that of providing a 40£>piy fcr tlie large gathering

e\pec cil to bo co!i"ctcnl to m^eb the (ioveri.orand tha I)>'f'iicu Minister in i tie .summer. It is a return to the settled habits of ii period >mt»ceilent to the Waikato war and nil its trouble-* when tho natives in this pait of the Province contiibuted so largely to th« food supply of tho oify of Auckland, and as bnch we must accept tho settlement near the frontier of the Waikntos aud Ngatimaniapotos mentioned by our corres- | pondent. We lately alluJed to the opening 1 of the Kaimai goldfiel'l as the fruit of the conciliatory and temporising native policy of the Gorerutueut, an 1 now we have within a few short weeks to refer to another and far more important one. . l T ( > tn 1869, we in Waikato slept with our hands npon the Jock 'of our rifles. Ihe district was never safe from wars and rumonrs of wars. 'Panics were of frequent occurrence, and no improvements ou property could give value to it while permanent possession was felt to bo held only on Maori sufferance. A change in the administration of native affairs was made with the advent to office of the present government, and very soon a marked alteration was observ able in the distiict. With the exception of the sensation which followed on the nmrdor of S<illivnn, but which Tvas as nothing compared with the panics of previous years, wheu women and children were sent hurriedly northward), and farms and stations were for a while deserted in tho Upp3v Waikato countiy, wo have since experienced nothing of the kind. Till lately we i ha%e rested thankfully under the negative blessing which the policy of the nati/e department has secured. Settlement baa progressed and extended and taken iirm hold of the soil, and an agricultural and pastoral country second to none in the Colony has grown up and planted its foot firmly in the Pro\iuce of Auckland -an impassable barrier between the City and the rebel c untry — a wealth producing district which is of moro importance to Auckland even than its goldfields. But now we seem to be fast passing into another phase of the solution of the nativo difficulty. We are merging from a state of negative into one of positive gain in our relations with the Maori race. Conciliation on our part during- tho last six or seven years begat security from raolestation. It is now passing into a more advauced stago and is thawing that isolation which has been to us in its timo a negative advantage iuto the more positive one of recommenced friendly and social reiatioua with our Maori neighbours. Thejealousy, tho suspicion aud distrust which first excited to active hostility, then merged the race iuto u condition of dogged isolation, are fast passing away. Tho attitude of tho natives which we announce to-day is ono evidence and a very strong one of this. The tree can only be judged by its fruit, and much aa we hear from tcoso who are desirous of making political capital against the Ministry, of tho corruption, the cos 1 , and the demornhsat on ot the nativo oilice, we ask them to look at the results and say how better, how more cheaply, they could have been purchased. And that these ure the results of tho policy it is impossible to deny, Evoiything show* that the feeling gradually growing .up in the native mind is one of returning confidence and its natural results. Special correspondents and coloured telegrams may serve to throw doubt and suspicion for the time being on the reception of u. Defence Minister by the King, or of tho state of native feeling in particular districts, but statements such as thooe made by our correspondent of ycdteiday jue incoutroveiiible. Tho one is only matter of opinion the other is mattor of facl. Such fruit is the growth neither of corruption nor demoralisation, aud, as to the matter of cost, that will i ear i'tvourable comparison with the working of the policy which preceeded it. It is all very weil for the apologists of those who so mercilessly attack the native policy to say tluit there is a middle courso between the two, but how do we know it ? That too is only matter of opinion. 1 t'y value has. yet to be demonstrated, and in so serious a matter as the direction of native affairs wo cannot alford to indulge in PXperiments. There is much in the policy of tho present Ministry »s a whole, still more in its dealings with this particular Province, which we cannot but look up. m with regret and alarm, and for which we can find uo excuse, but anxious as wo may be, in common with all those who have the iuterests of Aucklaud at heart, to biing about a chauge in these matters at almost any price, we are not willing to p.iy so dearly for it as with a reversal of a policy which has worked so well in the interest of thh district and of Auckland as that of the native offije has done, a department " sui generis," and which cannot and must not be judged by the ordinary rules of constitutional administration.

The telegrams which ha\e been published on the politic.il situation at Wellington, by oar A ucklund contemporaries during 1 the lust t'ev duya have given rise to a perfect babel of confusion. The correspondent of either journal contradicts that of tuo other, and the varioas amateur " speci ils" contradict each other diametricatly in the same column, as for instance, in the two telegrams, the one received from Sir Georje Grey, the other from Mr Swansoni we have re-

published a few of them, more as n curiosity in jocnalism, and for the amusement of our readeis than for their instruction. Our Auckland agent, even, so late is last night, telegraphs na the "correct card and colours" of the coming Ministers, who are to replace " t!ie men upon those benches," and doubtless we shall Bee this same programme gravely announced in yesterday's evening journal, and to-days dailies whon they duly arrive by this evening's post. Yet nob one siwqle word of this ia correct. We spqak authoritatively when we say do ch-inge of Minstry is upon the cards, and that auy programme is beside the mark, while some of the portfolios filled ' up by " specials" who" suppose themselves possessed of a political "second sight," were even such a change imminent, would be as wide of tho' mark aa it is well possible they could be. That Sir George -Grey has not formally resigned the position of leader of tho Opposition is, doubtless correct, but, that which we all uloug pointed out must come sooner or later is apparent. That blimi, unreasoning faith, not in fhe principles they were advocating, but, in the man who led them, ra forsaking the Auckland men, and the#are now, while there is yet time, awakening to a practical view of their position, and of tho uecessities of the Province, whoso cuise they luve been *-?:it to Welling ton to advecate. Out of the mass of incongruous matter telegraphed from Wellington to tha Auckland papers, it is pi -tin to see this much ; but, party r eelinij runs so high in Auckland fiat even the directors of the press tiere seem to have lost the l" heads, and to swallow, open mouthed, every sop of gobemoucherie cftVred to thorn by o pondents at Wellington as credulo.is and as partisan-struck as themselves.
