THE MAORI KING MOVEMENT.
Tarnihana to Rauperaha, it appears, has written to the Canterbury native 3 dissuading them from lending their support to the Maori King Movement. The natives there are a mere handful and their support or countenance must be almost immaterial. Tt is, however, satisfactory to know that at a recent meeting held at Raupaki, the prevailing sentiment was in support of Tamihana's counsel — in opposition to the King Movement. That such an opinion was only partial shows how the consideration of the question has pervaded the whole native race, and how likely the movement is to continue to spread. How best to meet the difficulty will require the wisest counsel of the wisest heads. With such imbecility as that displayed at Taranaki before us, who is there that will advocate an armed interference before he knows the extentto which the Home Government are prepared to aid ?
