the other hand , we have seen how vilely that process is carried on , and to what beneficial results it may be converted , by introducing a better system .
For this purpose an Association , similar to that which has already procured the colonization of South Australia , has been formed . The Association
consists of heads of families about to emigrate , and of public and influential men , who from motives of philanthropy are interested in the development of a rational system of colonization . The committee
is formed entirely of the latter class , and includes all parties in politics . The Association have collected a great fund of * information from books ,
travellers , traders , missionaries , nautical men , ancl indeed from all who coul ( J furnish it . A body of emigrants , including men of property and intelligence , is ready to set forth ,
only awaiting the sanction of the Imperial government . Their plans are matured with painstaking forethought . They propose to prevent in New / Zealand th ^ t ^ term ination of the natives , which lias been the
result of colonisa tion in other quarters . With this view , yvid \ e they offer the protection of English law to those natives
