TITOKOWARU’S LATEST MANIFESTO.

The following is Tito’s manifesto, referred to in our issue of yesterday. We are indebted to the editor of the Wanganui Chronicle for a proof slip

Al the Defence meeting of Sunday last the following letter from Titokowaru to Colonel Whitmore, sent in by the two rebels who are uow prisoners in the Wanganui jail, was read by Mr Booth, R.M. :— Wereroa,,Dec. 5, 1868.

A word of advice. To Whitmore. A question to you. To whom dot's England belong ? To whom docs this place belong on which you are standing ? My word to you. In one day tlic heaven ami the earth were made. In one day man was made and all things contained therein. If you understand that God made these things it is well. You were made a pakelia and England was made for you. 1 was made a Maori and New Zealand was made for me.

You did not recollect that a great division [gulf] was between us, the great sea. You ceased to remember this fact and crossed over from that place to this. I did not cross over from this place to that. My word to yon—move out of my place to your own places in the midst of the sea. ( lear out of tho town [Wanganui] and all other places Stand up be baptised, that you may be washed from your sins and call on the name of the Lord. Cease. From TITOKOWARU.
