"her teourwrpru. that hi, Excell^KoT: ftr«. What those rights are (is 10 us a mv ,, er - We trust that hi s Excellency ill tee that cultural community*,, a much stronger claim oh h.t atteut.on than aay Squ.tter.caa pretend to. Hii Excellency has our warmest thanks for hay ■we put h stop to the Maori Land jobbing, and we hope very c OO « to ice the Squar.ing system abolished as far as horrien cattle are ; concerned. 1 am fall, persuaded the farmers mu*t be the dairymen if they are to be farmers at all. ' .

1 do not hesitate to awrt that if squaring i< tolerated in this col ny, it will be » death blow to agn-uKure at once. I will prove this in a few 7w n 10 ° ° f the;beßt Bectlons withi " »»" of Well.ngton; and it w>ll be found that they will not awige 40 acres each fit -for agricultural p Qr . .poses, yet very probably the whole will make good pastures. Now what body of settlers wffl be mad enouah to cultivate these sections, two-thirds being only fit for pasture, if their dairy produce has to CHOiprU in tlie market w.th squatters. It is a w«ll known fact eUat no man can get a return for his labour at cultivating tbis heavy Timber land without the assistance of their littl* dniry, ihey will one and all tell you they cannot, they reckoa their dairy produce to proride the neoessariei of the family. Attain I lay if squatting is Bllowedj how are'these men to live, and to all-appearance unless these raonopol «t are stopt in ih=ir career, the. labourers and mechanics will soon fi id their condition very litt c bet er than Irish paupers. Agiin look at the evils arising fi oin the monopolizing system, What hag it coit the Government, and what benefit has the farmer (who should and must be the stiff of the colony,) derived, look .at their paying: the farmer £ J lO for hie cattle aud charging the Government Only £20. ■

To conclude I-beg to infirm the monopolising Ife'tlemen th*t their l.te system has opened our eyes, but I fedl assured that the lensc nn<f justiceof his Eicellency, will not allow the rights of Ihi agriculturists to be trampled upon.
