We sometime ago received a communication signed JOHN DEMING, jun. complaining of An Abridgment of the History of the Shakers, inserted in the Panoplist for Dec. 1811, p. 289. The writer has by no means convinced us, that any injustice has been done to the Shakers by that abridgment. He im. peaches Rathbone's testimony; but the mere assertion that R. “was actuated by a spirit of the blackest malice," does not prove that he was so. Nor does the fact, that R. was killed by the fall of a tree, prove, as Mr. Deming sup. poses, that God inflicted this judgment upon him in order to prevent his writing a second pamphlet, (which he contemplated,) against the Shakers. But the plentiful display of such phrases as "base misrepresentations, "false glosses," being "ruled by a spirit of slander and prejudice," "false and scandalous comments," &c. &c. which are charged upon the writer of the abridgement, does prove, that Mr. Deming was not in the meekest state of mind when he wrote his communication.

A piece of poetry entitled The Hindoo has lain some time on our files. Though it contains some tolerable lines, it has too many inaccuracies.

ERRATA.

The revival of religion, of which an account appeared in the Panoplist for February last, p. 411, took place in Durham (New York,) not in East. hampton, (Mass.) as there stated. The mistake arose from the fact, that no date of a place appeared on the paper handed to us for publication, and, a Mr. Williston being pastor of the latter place, we supposed the narrative to relate to his congregation.

In our last number, p. 503, col. 1, line 3 from bottom, for it is forgotten read the recipient is forgottens
