" Tatou ka haere i to Ihoa Maramatanga." Vol. II.] AKARANA, HEPETEMA 1, 1860. [No. 6. TE RUNANGA MAORI KI KOHIMARAMA. Kua mutu te Runanga o nga Rangatira Maori i karangatia e te Kawana. Hokihoki ana te tangata ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga. Kua oti pai tenei Runanga. Pai katoa nga korero: Ahakoa eke ana etahi kupu ki runga ki te Kawanatanga, e pai ana, e korero ana i te awatea. Ta te Kawana tera i tono ai, kia whakapuakina ona wahi pouri e te tangata, a kihai i huna o ratou whakaaro e nga rangatira; korerotia nuitia ana o ratou i pouri ai, o ratou i marama ai. Utua ana a ratou korero e Te Makarini, te Upoko o taua Runanga,—whakamaramatia ana e ia nga wahi i pouri ki a ratou, heoiti hoki marama ana ratou. Ka rua nga tikanga nui i whakaaetia e taua Runanga—ko te [illegible], ko te piri ki te Pakeha. [...] [...] kia kotahi he ture mo te motu nei, kia kotahi mo te Maori mo te Pakeha, kia rite tahi. To nga Pakeha tenei e hiahia nei. Engari tenei, mahia tenei wahi.

"We shall go [in] the light of the Lord." [rendering of the motto is uncertain] Vol. II. Auckland, September 1, 1860. No. 6. THE MAORI CONFERENCE AT KOHIMARAMA. The Conference of the Maori chiefs summoned by the Governor has ended. The people are going back, each to his home. This Conference has ended well. All the speeches were good: although some words were laid against the Government, that is well, they were spoken in the open. That is what the Governor asked, that the people should bring out their grievances, and the chiefs did not hide their thoughts; their griefs and their understandings were discussed at length. Their statements were answered by Mr McLean, the head of that Conference,—he explained the matters they were troubled about, and so they were enlightened. Two great resolutions were agreed to by that Conference: [illegible], and adhering to the Pakeha. [...] [...] let there be one law for this island, one for the Maori and the Pakeha, let them be equal. This is what the Pakeha wish. But as for this, do this work.
