The Maori on "Extermination."
From a letter addressed by the loyal natives of Wanganui to Dr. Featherston, Mr. Fox, Mr. Richmond, and the members of the General Assembly, we extract the following:—" Friend, Mr. Fox, our advice is that this tribe, the Ngatiruanui, should be exterminated!—not one should be left alive to create fresh troubles in this island. Do you consent to this proposition, viz., let the women be preserved as slaves for the Europeans, and all the children killed, lest they should grow up and destroy and eat more Europeans and natives."—From a late New Zealand Paper.
