.THE JNEW, ZEALAND HERALD,
■'. »pHE FIRST NttMBSR of a NEW JOURNAL under the above-named title, THIS DAY addiesses itself to the patronage ond support of the New Zealand public. , The proprietors are of opinion that, in the present advanced and rapidly-advancing state of ; the metropolitan province—with its great, growls ing, and diverging interests; with a largely- "' increasing population, and possessing a maritime, commercial, and agricultural position of singular stability—(the many and trying ordeals through, which bo youthful a settlement has • passed unscathed, considered) —that there is more than sufficient ncope for the establishment ! of a third newspaper. \ In bringing the forthcoming New Zealand Hsrald under the notice of the public the proprietors beg to make it distinctly known that it coroes before them with no personal, political, or party gorpose to serve, but as an untrammelled exponent and supporter of public opinion; as the unflinching advocate cf the true an.d legitimate interests of New Zealand as a whole and ■ -of those os the province of Auckland in particular. Tho proprietors Vf the New Zealand Hebald have had a lengthened experience as journalists in- New Zealand, in Australia, and in Great Britain. They mention this not to indulge in • self-eulogy, but to satisfy the public that the new journal will be in the hands of men in no •way ignorant of the duties-of printer or editor, but thoroughly .conversant with the requirements of both branches—fsunilias with the character, condition, and polities of the colony to which their fortunes have been long and inseparably .wedded; and yet, withal, so entirely free from , political, personal, or party bias, that they can J- point to their abstinence upon every occasion of f entering into any competition for place or office, I. whether ia the Geaeral or Provincial Legis- •■■ latures, m ia any other branch of the public service. This, they beHeve, may be regarded as one material guarantee for political independence. Their individual interest in the furtherance of the true progress and prosperity of New Zealand, they also consider, offers a no less equivocal asl Burance that theiir journal will be conducted upon the straightforward and intelligible princi- > pie of mutual benefit to patrons and proprietors. i The New Zealand Hekald will claim for itself " the glorious privilege of ir.lependence." S Measures (in politics), not men, shall be its > guiding maxim, be they in power who may, if : the welfare and prosperity of N«w Zealand be their aim, the aim of the New Zealand Herald' will be to tender them a fair and manly measure
of support. On the native question there can be no doubt. Forced into war, it must be carried out with unrelaxing vigour. The present Government have exerted their best ability to do so. To insure our support they must not relax until they have surmounted this native difficulty, and that upon such terms as: shall compel the Maori aggressors to raake this the last internecine strife that shall ever desolate or disturb this fair and fertile soii of New Zealand. The columns of the New Zealand Herald will be open to free and independent discussion of all questions, of public interest. Careful surveillance will, however, be exercised in order that the pages of thft Herald may not unwittingly -be made the vehicle of partisan strife, nor yet the medium, under--the pl«a. of public. good, of affording indulgence to party spleen or personal acrimony. Arrangements have been made for ample supplies and exchanges of British and colonial journals, and for the filing of the Hjerald in the leading offices of the British metropolis and other important cities of the Empire, where agencies will be established in order that an extensive circulation may be obtained in all the commer- . cial ports and towns of the United Kingdom. To the agricultural, pastoral, commercial, and maritime intereats of New Zealand the utmost attention shall bo devoted; and that this may be effectually done it is heartily hoped that friends and subscribers will kindly assist in promoting this great colonial cause, I In the naval and military department of the New r&EALAins Herald a confident hope is entertaiaed %at it will be found second to no journal in %>. South Pacific. Assurances'of co-operation "!% support from numerous and" influential %ss are manifold aad cfceeriiig. And upon %ditor the united i*rviccs may count, as iVin old and faithful friend Vfhose pen in hifice journals of tht» British metropolis has em'pe been earnestly as* no». iinsaccecalully dresa* 11 advocacy of theii interests and roXjjgieir grievances. \ donble\ number of the piper—a fall-sized sbled toif —t 'k e proprietors Wgt to be enat furthek*^ 10 e P n^c w^^ 1 three weeks do their udej Ehap V and fff th V , S/P nia ' je a nrs ' , "Mwarance" in i ' f\'i" old stagers" on\ n ew arena sho,ild-sparirlfe caK) nor A For aome the laco of araw»-o£ four mon. irom tte time o£ ing_ oasjness be enabled "to to OW ?
