“The Press” In 1865
AUGUST 7 THE NORTH.—The last news from the North has brought down no very exciting intelligence, but in the present state of affairs no news is emphatically good news. It has been said that happy is the people whose annals are vacant, and if this maxim will not bear too critical an examination, it cannot be denied that New Zealand will be in a far happier condition when her history affords less matter for the historian than it has done for the last few years. The prosperous and uneventful period
seems at length to be showing some faint symptons of approach. The convulsions which have raged in the North for so long cannot be expected to subside in any brief time, but though the whole mass is still fitfully seething, and occasionally bursting out in violent explosions yet these are now very partial extent, and there are many signs that the crisis is past, and that the island is generally settling down into a state of quiescence, which wisely conceived and vigorously executed measures on the part of its rulers may prolong into a confined peace.
