CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the Waka Maori. Orakei, November 26th, 1878. Frien d.—lnsert this notice in the Waka, that it may be conveyed by it to all parts of these Islands:A CAIi TO THE PEOPLE. Hear ye ! Hear ye ! Hear ye chiefs and ye people of the Province of Anekland ! ye of the East, the North, and ye of West ! I call upon you all to come up and come down. lam about to convene a Parliament meeting, and it is to be called Treaty of Ko'itnarama." It is to be held at Orakei, Auckland, on the 24th day of February, 1879. Come hither all ye chiefs and people ; let us unite our thoughts and our plans, that there may be unanimity. Let \is no longer be as strangers to each other, ye Ngapuhis, Rarawas, and other tribes on the North and on the South, and on one side and on the other. Oorne up; come down; come hither and let us concert measures. I have received a.word from Tawhiao to be published abroad by me among the tribes North and South, on one side and on the other, that in the month of March, a great meeting will be held for the assembling of the chiefs and people of the Island of Aotearoa, at Hikurangi, to hear the words of himself and Sir George Grey—which will be the end of their thoughts {i.e., the conclusion of their negotiations, or the end of their intercourse.) Therefore I lave thought that my "Treaty of Kohimarama " meeting should be held first; that the chiefs should assemble here, and afterwards proceed to the gathering for the whole world at Hikurangi. Friend, inseit this twice in the WaJca. ■ From Paoka TtraAEBX..
