Sir George Grey, governor, high commissioner, and premier : an historical biography . ed, and Gladstone expressed thehope that there would be a general concurrence ofjudgment between two such men in all matters of publicimportance. The hope was realised. During the whole ofboth of Greys terms in New Zealand the Governor andthe Bishop thought and planned, felt and acted in unison.Seldom before had the secular and the spiritual powersbeen so united. When the Treaty of Waitangi wasbelieved to be imperilled by the action of Earl Grey, andthe secure tenure of their lands by the Maoris was placedin jeopardy, Selwyn strenuously concerted measures withthe Governor and the Chief Justice to avert the calamity.On all things affecting the interests of the natives theywere at one. It was, indeed, the chief sphere of theactivity of both. During Greys first term the Maorisformed the great majority of the population, and theimmigrant white element was comparatively unimportant.Consequently, the Governor was governor mainly of theMaoris, and the Bishop was largely bishop of the Maoris.. J^>isH()r Si:lvy.. GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND: FIRST TERM 87 On the government of the Maoris the Governor confessedthat he often took counsel with the Bishop. Both being men of culture, of high talent, and of strongcharacter, they became fast friends and close associates.More than once they traversed on foot the difficultcountry, some six hundred and fifty miles in length, between Auckland and Wellington, scaling mountains, fording rivers, and threading forests in company, and inthe houses of Maori chiefs they were often joint guests.Together they voyaged in the Pacific. They grew to befirm allies, naturally lending one another aid in timesof trouble. When the great trial of his life came—theapostasy of the Maori race—Selwyn did not forsake hisold converts, but continued to minister to them in waras in peace, while Grey strove to suppress the Hau-haumovement; and when, in 1863, Grey was assailed
