TE HUI A KINGI MAHUTA.
( Na te tino apiapi 0 l Te Pipi,' i hove ai e taia wawetia enei korero.) Kaore ta matou tangata a T ipi-whenua i tae kite hui ki Waahi, te kainga o Kingi Mahuta, i te taenga o te Kawana ki reira. Nga hoa o te Kawana i haere ai ko Rore Pitama te Kawana o Poihakena, he tangata ataahua, he taitamariki, ko te Pirimia, ko te Honore Timi Kara, minita o nga Mahi Maori, ko te Honore Waara, minita o nga rerewe, ko etahi mema atu o te Paremata, me etahi atu pakeha. Na te waka taua o te kingi na Taheretikitiki i whakawhiti i Waikato te ope o te Kawana, i Hanari, te taone i tu ai te tereina, ki Waahi. He paki anake te kakahu o nga kai hoe mete kai-hautu ; ko te waka o te peene ki mua tonu arahi ai i te ope rangatira i runga i a Taheretikitiki. Te unga atu o te manuhiri ki Waahi ka pohirilia e Waikato, e Kingi Mahuta, e Kaihau M.H.R., e Tarawhiti te hekeretari a te kingi, me etahi atu rangatira o Waikato. Nga tino kupu a Rore Renewhare he whakamihi mo te u o te iwi Maori kite Kuini, mo te noho tahi o nga iwi tokorua o tenei motu i runga i te rangimarie. I tohutohu ano ia kia atawhai kia pai te whakatipu a te Maori i a ratou tamariki kia tae ai kite wa e whakatipu tamariki ai hoki ratou ka ora a ratou na tamariki. Kite whakaaro a te Kawana ma tenei tikanga ara ma te whakatipu pai i nga tamariki ka piki ai te iwi Maori. I whai-korero ano te Kawana o Poihakena. I tetahi ra mai ka hui ano, he whakarongo ki nga korero a nga minita o te Kawanatanga, he whakatakoto hoki na Waikato i o ratou whakaaro i o ratou mate kite aroaro o te Kawanatanga. I puta ano nga kupu mo te Pire Poari he whakahe na Kaihau i etahi 0 nga rarangi o taua pire, otira kaore i tipu totika i a te Hetana nga korero a te Maori. 1 mea a te Hetana he he ano kei roto i te pire, engari he he ririki ko te kaupapa ia o te pire he pai, a kaati hei tenei tau ka whakahaerea ano. I tono te Pirimia kia homai ki a ia nga ingoa o nga tangata whenua-kore, kia marama ai te whakawhiwhi a te Kawanatanga i a ratou kite whenua. I puta ano tana kupu mo te arai tonu i te hoko i nga whenua Maori ki nga pakeha noa iho, a e whakaaro ana ia kia mutu te hoko a te Kawanatanga i nga toenga whenua o te Maori. Ahakoa he koha ano o tenei Kawanatanga, engari e kitea ana to ratou whakaaro kite
whakahaere oranga mo te iwi Maori, mo te whenua mo te tinana. I mahara matcu na Henare Kaihau te kaupapa o te pire e whakahaeretia nei e te Pirimia. He aha hoki ra ia ituaiki te whakahe ? Hanga tata, turaki tata !
