Such a'work, says the Harris , burg Reporter, if properly executed, cannot fail to be eminently useful. A mere detail of the boundaries of a county, the situation of a town or village; and their population— facts that commonly compose the materials of a Gazetteer, would render the work a mere bocik far occasional references; we are pleasedtherefore, that it is proposed to take in the past and present history of the state; to give the details of its early settlements, the difficulties the pioneers of the wilderness had to encounter from the ruthless attacks of the Indians; the expeditions against them; and notices of the distinOished ?men who have contributed to its prosperity, honor and reputation. How many interesting details II e -- • les ds have been Jost by, thed. paths of those who were, actors in the scenes of the struggles for the domestic peace and po lities,' literty we are blessed with, and from inattention in not recording them! MuCh, however, still is preserved in the accurate memories of their children and it is a duty ---to-eommunicate all. they- . know. on the. sub,... ject. The people of the New-England states have been much more' attentive to theriv . . points. From their earliest settlement, am ple records were kept, and many of them have been published.. Let us therefore, snatch from oblivion, the history of events, 'of the progress of improvements, and of those persons who by their perseverance, industry, • and sufferings, have contributed to rnake the ,) state whet it is., Every man in Pennsylva nia is interested in rendering the proposed work as full. as possible, and we therefore hops; that all who can, will furnish the facts to enable the author to satisfy himself and the public. . The Washington Cirrespondent of the Albany Evening Journal, says of Anti-Ma sonry and its Presidential Canditlate:—"E- Oally idle will be the attempt to effect the withdrawal of Mr. Wirt.

TILE NEXT GOVERNOR Vroin every indication of public opinion, it is now almost reduced to a certainty, that . the contest will be between the Anti-Mason ic candidate, and “eorge Wolf. Whether Mr. Shulze, Mr. Rush, or Mr. Miner, be that candidate, we can only surmise from the expression of public sentiment through out the State, and which appears4o its to be decidedly in favor of Ritner. Sonic pre judice agtunst Mr. Riuier seems to prevail in this section of the State; bnt we have lately conversed with a gentleman from Pittsburg, who declares him to lie the most popular man that can be nominated, and that he will receive two rotes to AI r. Wolf's one in every Western county. The preju dice which exists here, has been excited by an idea of want of talent in Mr: Ritner; but this is tui error. Mr. Rinker, it is true, is not a classical scholar, but he is a strong minded man self:educated, and fully compe tent. to the trust; being firm, independent, and discriminating; with a good knowledge of men, and an intimate aci,-iiintance the whole economy of the State. Mr Rit ner belongs-to that-class of .men, who have given us a Franklin, a Girard, a Penn, and he will do the State such service, as will entitle him to applause ; and cause bin to be remembered with gratitude by the twople: should he be nominated by the anti-Masonic convention of the 22d ,Vebruary. • 7 The uantity of Bar Iron made in the IT.

About twelve hundred brethren of the rnY'Mic fie, in Massachusetts, have subscri bed a Declaration in which they deny the e.'stence, so far as their knowledge respec tively extends, of any obligations in the Ma sonic Institution "at variance with the fun damental principles of morality, and incom patible with the duty of the recipient as a good and faithful citizen." The °Allis, literally an,d fully, as admin istered to candidates in the lodges, have been disclosed by the Le Roy Convention 01'Se:ceding masons. Other individuals have at diabrent times prornulged the oaths and Obligations which tfiey allegiidliaitbetafail:' ministered to them at their initiation, and which they declared were to. their know ledge so administered to others in lodges ; and these on comparison were found to cor respond, substantially, with the disclosures of the Le Roy Convention. The oaths thus disclosed have repeatedly become subjects off - investigation -- irr courts — of justice ;•• and their truth and accuracy hWe—been sworn to in several instances; - both by seceding and by adhering masons. In addition to this, we have the concurrent" testimony of more than five thousand seceders, that the oaths are administered in the lodges, sub stantially and in the main literally, as given in Bernard's Light on Masonry. And no adhering mason, who denied the accuracy of the oaths in „general terms; has ever been able to stand the test of fair scrutinOnto particulars. It must be admitted then; if human testimony be ofany value and human experience can at all . be relied on, that the oaths and obligations as published are cor rect and true. And this being the case, it is fairly and, properly the province of the people to . judge of the character and temien cy of these oaths. The interpretations and constructions given to them - by masons„ara of no account in this controversy, and can not weigh . a feather. The oaths themselves are tholleinton which this part of the con troversy turns; and if the masons deny that those published by antimasons are correct, let them furnish 4opies, equally'well nuthen ti9ated, of the oaths as they admit them to be administered in the Lodges. This is thetr only alternative.--[Lancaster Exam.
