C. W. Low, C. CROWFORD, M. WHITAKER, and N. RICHARDSON.—Your communication is received, and relative to it we remark as follows: 1. The nature of the case is such that we should greatly err to publish it without a more thorough knowledge of it. 2. Those who have read our publications know that we have not the least sympathy for Shakerism, or the heretical teachings of S. S. Snow. 3. Your sweeping remarks relative to "Mr. Bates and his associates," seem much like the bitter remarks of others who have endeavored to prejudice the people against Sabbath-keepers. 4. We shall forward your communication to Bro. Bates, and if you have been misrepresented, it will be a pleasure to him to correct.
