With regard to the Treaty of Waitangi, of the violation of which the Maori chiefs complain, a correspondent, signing himself " Observer," has aeked the Daily News to give publicity to the following striking words spoken by Mr Gladstone in the House of Commons in February, 1848 :—" As far as England is concerned, there is not a more strictly and rigorously binding treaty in existence than that ot Waitangi." On the aame occasion Mr Cardweil said that, as the House had " ascertained from the Government the spirit in which they intended in future to carry out the treaty, he thought it would net be proper to ofter any further opposition to going into committee." The correspondent adds:—"We are in the future of which Lord Caldwell spoke, He and Mr Gladstone yet live. The prayer of the Maoris is that the Treaty of Waitangi may be respected. Wili Lord Cardweil treat the present day as a part of the future of which he spoke in 1848?"
