'1NOne butslaves
Find fault with free mems freedom"
From the Sydney Morning Herald saturday June o. lss1

The intelligence conveyed by the mail to Eu-
rope of the state of New Zealand will dsspate
any hope entertained by the Ministers of an early
termination of the war. Every development of
that conflict confirms the predictions with which it
opened. Men who have lived in New Zealand
who were familiar with the native mind-the pc
culiar character of the country, and the latent
causes OF the contest, were assured that it no
agrarian dispute-no local difference to be settled
by crack of rifle or stroke of pen. They saw that
II was the result of long course of preparation,
in which the native mind had been taught to re-
gard the colonization of New Zealand as threaten
ing their existence as people. We have not per-
haps yet reached the time when the sober judg-
ment of history can pronounce upon the conduct of
men whose mistaken philanthropy has led to this
confusion and bloodshed. There are no advisers
more liable to mistake than those who overlook all
the political causes which modify the conditions of
people. and interpret upon abstract or benevolent
theories the rights of aboriginees.
We repeat what We stated months ago. that there
is no way of effectualy oonquering New Zealand
bat by its military occupation. This could be most
cheaply and effectively done by special enlistment,
having colonization for its ultimate object The
troops would thus be gradually converted into cti-
zens, and as the British power was consolidated
the military combination would dissolve. II is of
no use for troops to attempt to follow I'D the na-
tlves. Their property is not tangible. They can
not De overtaken. Inc losses OF a guerilla war
would be probably greater on the side of the Brit
ish than the insurgents. The policy of the Gov
ernment is to deal not with the natives but with
the country, and by the establishment of great
centres of colonsatIon to make it impossible for
the natives to do other than submit to the authority
of the Crown, while giving them the general ad-
vantages of British law. If this policy be not
adopted, perhaps the next wsest course would be
to make the best terms possible with the insurgents
to renounce the exercise of sovereignty over
them, and to draw off rapidly as possible the
white population into those islands where thew
may have their lives and industry respected Never
was there an insurrection in which the British au-
thorities were more clearly in the right-never
one less founded upon personal grievance. The
natives demand the virtual surrender of royaI au-
thOrity, and if we not disposed to resist this
demand by an effective army the better way is to
recognize it and abide by its consequences A
long war is drawn out by absurd negotiations,
which can yield nothing but tremendous bill of

Abusing the Ex-President.

If the Black Republican Administration
bucks down from the position which Lin
coin was supposed to take in his Inaugural,
and surrenders the Southern Forts without
q struggle, they will endeavor to excuse
their want Of consistency by heaping abuse
upon Buchanan, charging him with not hav.
ing checked the progress Of secession when
to do so, would have been "practicable."-
This game is already being played by the
Northern Press. The Now York Tribune,
discussing the probability Of the early
evacuation Of Fort Sumter thus vents its
splen upon the old Administration /:
But let il be borne in mind that the bu.
initiation comes, If il must come, not from
any negligence or feebless Of the present
Administration that IL is not an evidence
of a retreat from well defined and strong
position that it is concession neither 20
the rebel power Of the South nor to the
timid expostulations Of the few in the
North whose counsels are weakness but
that it is one Of the Inst bitter Drops 10 tho
cup left In our hands by the Government
which has so long weighed us down, and
which has now hardly passed out of our
sight. The evil which Administrations, as
we'll rs men. do, lives after them, and we
must expect to feel the curse. The duplici
ty, the mean scnsning. the ~ineonceivablc
baseness which have brought US to tho
present complication OF our national affairs
