NGATIPOROU.

He korero tenei na Meiha Ropata Wahawaha mo tona haerenga ki Mataora. He kore nupepa i kore ai e taia i te wa i tae mai ai. Ahakoa, me ta atu inaianei hei titiro ma nga tangata. Mataora, Hanuere 5, 1870. He panuitanga tenei kia mohiotia ie take o taku haerenga atu i Heretaunga fei Mataora i te 4 o nga ra o Hanuere. He whakaaro ki a Ngatiporou oku whanaunga e baere ake nei te rongo Hau Hau ki a matou e nobo mai nei i runga—ara ki a Ngatiporou Kawanatanga. He tangi ta matou mahi ki a ratou i runga i tena ingoa weriweri. Kei toku taenga atu ki reira ka wbakatika mai ratou kite tangi ki au. Ka nui te tangi i taua ra. No te mutunga o te tangi ka wbakatika mai a NepiaHubikaea : Haere mai! Haere mai! Haere mai ki roto ki Mataora ! Haere mai kia kite koe i a matou. Kaore be aba o te haere, te baere mai ai. Haere mai ki uta. Kati ano, mau e rapu mai i runga i nga rongo kino e haere atu na—ara i nga rongo o taku Hau Hautanga. Tenei ano hoki o rongo pupuhi mo matou te baere mai na. Kei runga atu ko Ropata Wahawaha, kamea:— Karangatia! Tenei te hara mai nei kia kite i a koutou. A, kua kite nei hoki, kia tangi ki a koutou; a, e tangi nei ki a koutou. Tenei ano hoki te haere mai nei kite mau mai i nga pu mo koutou. Tenei

ka puhia atu ko te mamaoa o taku waha ki a koutou—pu! Ka tu ko Hjenabe Nawaia, ka mea:— Haere mai, e horo tangata.! Haere mai kia kite i a matou i nga maramara o te waka a torourangi i maheu mai ki tenei wahi. Haere mai ite awatea. Kite mea he haeremai tau he korero kia noho pai matou, e pai ana. Ko ta matou kupu atu tenei ki a koe, whatarautua hoki te haere kite patu tangata. Kite tohe koe, katahi matou ka kore e whakarongo ki o korero i haere mai mi. Kei runga atu ano ko Meiha Uopata Wahawaha, ka mea : Kei te pai to korero e.ki ana koe kia kaua au e haere ki to patu tangata. Ae, kaore au e haere kite patuite hunga. tika, engari ite hunga kohuru. Ekore hoki e tika kia waiho ko taua hunga kohuru hei whakararuraru ite motu nei. No te mea ko oku ariki hoki na ua tangata i turaki—ara ko te Wakana me ng;: i.angata katoa o te Hahi. Ka whakahokia mai an<> e Henare Nawaia, ka mea : Ehara ite mea ko ia anake te hara. He hara ano kei a koe, ara kei te iwi kei te pakeha. Ko te hara tenei ote pakeha, ko te tohe ki Ohinemuri kia riro i a ia. Eki ana te Hira te Tuiri, —kaore au e pai; me waiho tenei hei nohanga nioku me aku uri; kati he Tahi e riro atu i a koutou ko ena wahi, no. te mea i au tonu hoki a kona. Kite tohe ano te pakeha he raruraru na maua kei roto. Ka whakahokia atu ano e au e Meiha Ropata, ka mea:— E hoa kia pai to wliakaliaere. Me ata mahi marire, kaua, e kaika, kaua e torere te whakaare o te ngakau, engari me ata wbiriwhiri marire kia pai ai nga tikanga me nga ritenga katoa—kei rite hoki taua ki era tangata pcrangi e porangi haere atu ra. Engari e whakaae ana au ki to ki mo te tohe o te pakeha. Te ai he mahara—ka kaba te maori ki tona wahi me mutu te tohe. Otira tera ano e mutu. Mebemea ka ata mahia tera e tirotirohia te ritenga mo te tohe a te pakeha. Engari ko te hohoro kite kino, kaore e pai tena mahi. M.e titiro atu ki nga wahi o te motu e raruraru mai nei—na te hohoro te tango i te kino i nui ai te raruraru. Tetahi i aui ai te raruraru, he hohoro kite mohior-no r,eira hohoro tonu te mohio, hohoru hoki te mAt,e. Ka mea au hei whakaora tangata tenei mea a te mohio; kaore, wHakamate ia i s te tangata! I rongo ano au ki Mataora kua tae mai ate Kobti kite kainga o 1 lakaraia Mahika. No reira au i ki atu ai ki a Ngatiporou,— E hoa ma kei whakahoa koutou ki a te Kooti. Ki ana mai ratou, — Kaore matou e whakahoa ki tena tangata. Ki atu ana au, — Ka man to koutou kainga. Kite whakahoa koutou ki taua tangata ka riro ano to koutou kainga e pupuri na koutou. Heoi ra enei kupu hei tirohanga iho ma koutou. Na Meiha. Ropata..
