KIHIKIHI. Native News.
Four natives, from Whatiwhatihoe, sent by the Runanga, came heie to see I?e\vi and Wahanui, and tried to bring them back to their allegiance to Tawhiao and also to stop the smvey. Wahanui, however, remains firm in his intention to carry on the survey, and he in well backed up by other chiefs. A great deal of jealousy has existed for a long time between the Waikato and Ngathnaniapotos, engendeied I believe by the bad feeling of the foimer, which is fomented by other native-, and not unfrequeiitly by i«ikcha Maorit. and interpreter. It i.s said that Major Te Whero is inciting the obstructionists to oppose the survey, if such is the case it shows, a very bad state of affairs, here. We hear a member of parliament, who before taking his seat, took the oath of allegiance to Her Majesty, and now openly incites the natives to opposition to her law*. Te Whero will hardly be returned to Parliament again, and if this statement is true (I give it as I got it from the natives) it will be a matter for congratulation both with the natives and pakehas.— (Own Correspondent.)
