<;uestod the Hon O'ftorko to induce the editors of paper;? to write against the agitation," and concluded thus : "The Government do not want the country to bo opened." Mr J. Mackay, jun, publishes the true copy of the original telegram, shotting that the telegram published by the ridvcrtlser was for the most part a fabrication.
