Land League EnlisSARIES.

["St. Mdngo'' m Waikati Times] I was very sorry to hear of the arrival m New Zealand of two emmisaaries of the Irish Land Leapue. We do not want them here, and it is a great pity that they have come. People 0f, .a1l creeds and nationalities live here together m peace, and I very much regreFthe'i arrival of those einissariesTwfio"' are almost certain to sow discord. We ought, when we settle "here) to forget any differences that there wer#~in tft^~ old world - t and to consider ourselves 1 all - New Zealanders, and to strive for 'the prosperity of ourselves and our adopted country, and we would do so if we were let alone, but the advent of the Messrs • Redmond and Mr Walsh is sure to rise ; rouse the patriotic feelings, of the warm* blooded Irishmen the colony, and there | will be a lot oftgush about the "dear old; sod' 1 and the cruelty of the Saxon inyador; and our Irish fellow-colonist^ will subscribe hundreds, possibly thoas-'--an ds of pounds for. the purpose of con-r .-. tinning the baneful w.ork of the Lani ' League, more baneful, though it is, to the people or Ireland than to any one else. Of course, that is the object of the mission, and if the emissaries sue* ceed m " bleeding" their compatriots pretty, freely, they, will go away quite V satisfied. They will not leate us m jh'at state, however. They will .hare rubbed a sore that had almost healed, and ; set \ it riinning again, so that it may be years ; before the healing process is complete, I should like to see our Irish fellowcolonists refuse to give a single penny M the Jjand, League, and ,spead v theur spare cas^h m nominating theijfrieEdsf. r as emigrants to this colony. -There ]«/, plenty; of. room for them if they , are able, . ■ and willing to work. .
