No. 1. ADDRESS 01" INHABITANTS OF THE IIUTT, PROVINCE OF WELLINGTON. To Ills Excellency Colonel Gore Browne, CIS., Governor and Commander-in-Chiefof ilic Colon// of New Zealand, We, the undersigned Electors and other Inhabitants of tlic Hult District, desire to express our entire approbation of ihe policy of Your Excellency, in proceeding to quell by force of arms, tlie insurrection of Wiremu Klngi, in the Province of Tarenaki. While we deeply deplore the circumstances which have compelled Your Excellency to such an extremity, we are convinced that, sooner or later, a collision with this turbulent Chief was inevitable ; nud that any further tampering with the question of Sovereignty, would have been construed by (he Natives as an admission of present weakness, and probably eventuated in more wide-spread disaffection. Even had we been less satisfied than we spj of the justice of the War, we should feel that there could be now no other alternative for Your txoellency, having in view, not simply the best interests, Irat the actual existence of the Colony, than to prove by vigorous cxeitioi the supremacy of the Queen'? power; until a conviction of which, is summarily brought home to the Native mind, we fear that Your Excellency will be unable to establish a lasting Peace; such as may serve, for all future ages, to cement in one bond the mutual prosperity and happiness of both Kae.es. "We offer to Ycur Excellency our most earnest co-operation in bringing the issue to such a termination; and should much regret that any Member of the House of Jvcpresentativcs, should consent to patching up present tranquillity at the risk of future security, A. LUDLAM, Ed. Augustus Carlyon, Ciiahi.ks Hunt, JTutt, September 21, 1860. And 271 others.
