Mr Whyte at Waharoa

Mr Whyte favoured us with a visit here on Wednesday, and addressed a meeting of settlers in the evening, in our handsome now school house. There was a large attendance of settlers, and Mr Ross ably fulfilled the duties of chairman. Mr Whyte, after congratulating his audience upon the completion of their handsome new school, and himself upon being the first to address an audience in it, said he hoped the settlement would continue'to flourish, and that they would increase and multiply, so that full advantage might be taken of the educational advantages, now provided. The speaker then proceeded to discuss the more important of the political matters now before the public for their decision. Ho spoke for about an hour and a half, and was listened to most attentively'. Mr Whyte evidently' carried his audience entirely with him, as was manifest by repeated applause. At the conclusion of his address several questions were asked, most of them referring to railway management, and answered apparently, entirely to the satisfaction of the meeting. Mr Given then proposed a hearty vote of confidence in our old member, which being duly seconded, was carried unanimously, amid great applause. Mr Whyte then moved a vste of thanks to the chairman for the manner in which he had conducted themee ting, and thus ended a very pleasant evening.
