AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT.
Sib, — Be pleased to permit me, through the medium of the only respectable secular newspaper in Wellington, to express my thanks to my brethren and sisters, the latter-day saints of Karori, for the excellent entertainment they were pleased to provide in honor of my arrival among them j and also for the orderly manner in which it was conducted throughout. I also desire to express my gratitude to the many invited guestß who did me the honor to attend, and for the kindly spirit they manifested, and the total absence of that smallminded bigotry that condemns principles they do not understand. I wish also to express my thanks to the editor of the' Wellington "Advertißer " for his scurrilous abuse of a man of whose character he knows nothing. I esteem the censure of such men as better than their praise. And as for the poor ignorant persons who were incited (no doubt by the advice given in the "Advertiser") to commit a breach of the peace, I simply pity them, and hope when they know better, they will do better. With thanks to my friendß, and prayers for my enemies, I am, &c,
ROBEBT BEAtrCHAMP, A servant of God arid a friend of mankind Karori, October 13.
