We are quite sure that .thqcUizens ot Auckland will unite most heartily'in giving Tawhiao and his followers a good reception if they can be persuaded to come on to the city from' Mercer. To reient arrivals th!e matter may seem an insignificant one, and unworthy of the fuss that has been made over it;" but to old !settlers' who remember , jlho. war. "ani its ■ disas-; trous consequences, this, the first genuine sign of permanent reconciliation between the contending parties' in.that great, struggle 'will :]"nsily appear as'^n.eyent.wo'thy of on uxtraordlaary amount of enthusiasm. Wu are sure that the action of the meeting thia afternoon ;in1 deciding to, invite Tawhiao and hia f6llo*r*crs to. town, and provide for their entertainment, willy"be 'very :cor dially endorsed by lTthe' public; and "should the" chiefs be induced "to accept (which at present seems somewhat doubtful) they can rbly. upon a thoroughly British reception."■ Xtie suggestion that the Mayor should invite the citizens to observe a half;ft6liday, on the day of -arriral, is a. good one, and if acted upon would doubtless be readily responded to by a majority of our businoss firms..'1 ' ; ; :~.

Mr Firthyin making the pre-J sentation, referred to tho fact that'if '\i man did his duty in such- a commtanitiy' as this he would always have much sympathy and; support in, any difficult task which ho might have to undertake. Many of them had re cognised formany years the very difficult but very honourable Work1 in' which Mr! Macrae had been engaged, with so, much sSiccess*, in the training of so large a p'roppr-j tiou of the youth of Auckland. Looking at ■the'1 long period during Which, he: had .been' training .their boys, it was not unnatural to expect to sec some results, of his system of .training.-; He was-glad to;say. that they! had seen many results of his system;' and .that a,great many young men who had had the benefit of being trained by him were po.w occupying very, important; positions in this city. Mr Macrae had enfncicbtj ■e&periance of life to know-thatj notwith standing the most earnest efforts, one is il6t always appreciated according to his deserts.: Therefore it ought not to bo surprising to him that, notwithstanding' having long filled, the position^ t>f principal teacher of .the; Grammar School, he had. been subjected; to . a mode '.of treatment, which ,h(s friends thought was,not ; warrantod.r: I^o was glad to . think that,.. haying recom menfced York,' Mr Macrae hadbeen so well Supported as to commence his school witjb. , about eighty pupils. He was sure that ;feuch a measure of confidence having beta.' shown to him, he - would endeavour -to! deserve it. As some solatium for th& treat merit to which he had been subjected,' and to give expression to the feeling which they entertain for him, some of his.friends had in a very quiet manner collected a sum of money, which they bad deputed him to He had great pleasure in handing to Mr Macrae the purse of sovereigns? In his reply, Mr Macrae said :—" I value1 your words and your gift.chiefly as assuring me of that of which I had' a profound con viction before—that by many in this com munity I have been long regarded as not;ari unfaithful servant, and that, as I ihihk.jny self, my treatn^ent by the Board of Go vernors haS not been dishonourable to me. I It is something for me to know that many people in New Zealand.and many at Home, will be glad to Jearn. from the account of these proceedings,that so many of the people among whom I have lived for so long a time; give me'credit for haying-tried to do my duty."
