Maehe, 1868

"To Sir George Bowen, Governor of New Zealand.

March, 1868.

"Welcome to the shore; welcome to Auckland, coming at the bidding of Victoria, the Queen of England, the mother of the Maori tribes: Come, that you may see your Maori children. There are two peoples in this Island—the brown skin and the white skin—whose eyes are turned steadfastly towards you, because you have been called to be a father and administrator for them both.

"At your landing in this island, the hearts of your Maori people are in a state of trouble because of this war. The Maoris are thinking that health for this island is with you, that you are to stay the shedding of blood, and bring back the healing waters of other times, now that the people still live; so that the Maoris and the Europeans may dwell together in peace. This is a Maori proverb—‘The fame of the warrior—

Haere mai ki uta, haere mai ki Akarana,
I runga i te reo o Wikitoria te Kuini o Ingarangi, te whaea hoki o nga Iwi Maori.
Haere mai kia kite koe i ou tamariki Maori.
E rua nga iwi o tenei motu—ko te kiri ma, ko te kiri where,
Ko te kiri ma—tau tonu o raua kanohi ki a koe, ta te mea, ka oti koe te karanga hei matua,
Hei kai-whakahaere tika mo raua ruru.

"I to uranga ki tenei motu, kei nga whati nga ngakau o o tamariki Maori,
Kei a koe te ora mo tenei whenua:
Nau e puru te toto, e whakahoki mai te waiora ki a matou o era nga takiwa i te mea,
Kia noho tahi ai te Maori ko te Pakeha i runga i te rangimarie.
Tenei te whakatauki a te Maori—‘He toa taua he toa paheke, ka pa tau he toa e ranga.
Naku na,

Na Hone Wiremuhana,
Hupiritenei.

VUW Te Waharoa — Auckland Provincial Gazette 1868, No 30

After Parliament moved to Wellington in 1865, the Auckland Provincial Council sat in General Assembly House (depicted).

It was nicknamed the 'Shedifice' as it was large and drafty, with a leaking roof. First premier Henry Sewell described it as 'a great wooden barnshaped affair, which might serve for a Hospital, a Jail, or a Barrack'.
