especially along the coast. The gale increased after midnight, and during the early hours of the moraine: blew with d knoyr of nothing m Mr Bryce's past career which would lead me to believe that he even now comprehends or recognises the true causes which made the late demonstration at, . Parihaka necessary ; nor that he possesses the special knowledge; and qualities which would enable him, otherwise than by force* to remove those; cause?, and re-establish the good relations whiclfrat one time existed between ourselves and the Maoris. And I hope with all my heart he may find m the new Parliament the help T think he needs m respect of that special knowledge. I hope you will not misunderstand me on this point. I think Mr Bryce the best Native Minister we have yet had, and I think the Government of which he is a member the best on the whole we have had for a long time back ; but if, as is quire possible, they as a Government, neglect or refuse forthwith to initiate, and with all their power strive to carry into effect, the reforms m Native Legislation and administration, indicate! by Dr Buller's printed speeches, th(n I hope they may he defeated, and a new party firmed which shall rigHly exclude from offioe every man who heretofore has taken a. prominent part m Native aftairs. Now, I think Dr. Bnller eminently or even supereminently qualified either to aid the Government, o" to assist m de-f-ah'ng thr.m on their Native Policy, nnd I understand from 1 itn that .be wi'l if elected, frankly offer to the present Government" the assistance as an independent member, of his (special knowledge. Thus I hope that between himself and Mr. Bryce, the woeful error of the pa"t may he repaired, and we may shortly dispense with a standing army for the maintenance of the Qnetn's and God's peace. And so I jns f ify to my own conscience the h'each of my impnlsiv epromNeto ynu, for I havf no reason whatever to. think that you wou'd be inclined to devote time ami trouble specially to the r formation of our relations with the Maoris; nor that yon are particularly qnaJifv j d to do so, even if yon had "the inclination ; wh'leT, at the same time, regard it as perfectly hopeless to exnect anyflting like general prosperity j while so large a propertion as a fVmrtb of the population of this Island is so hostile to us, asjl know the Maoris, a* a race, to be. ; Hopin?, therefore, that under all the circumstances I'maystiU be permitted to ci.joy the advantage and pleasure of your friendship. I remain, Yours very truly, A. M'Donam).
