appointed President, and ABRAHAM linurr.
MAST Secretary. •
- The Object of the meeting having been
stated, the folloWing persons_were upon 'na

Archibald Miller, Jacob Lindemuth, and
Robert I)eysert.
The committee having retired a short

• which wore unanimously adopted. _
WunahAs, we feel it a duty to meet and
consult on all subjects in . which the interests
of n groat nation are involved; and believing,
the present crisis one of .4sAnucly Moment,
for the preservation of our liberties, as any
other since the. acknowledgment of our in
dependence, wo feel called upon by the
strongest ties that bind man to his country,
to declare our sentiments on the slavery of
the Press .at this time. A . FREE PRESS
-THE PALLADIUM OF LIBERTY, deserves
the support of freemen; but one held in bon
dage, whether bribed- executiveby„ pat refl.
ade or shackled by the power of a
,secret
society, is undeserving the countenance and
support of every lover ,of truth and every
- friend of freedom. Therefore,
- Revived, That the refusal to publish the
letter or-th'lt honest patriot and fearless

-magnitude of-the dander to be apprehended
from it. Therefore; for , the purpose of a

THE PRESS-MASOIVRY.
It is acknowledged 'by. all that the Press 1
is a powerfuli give and that the Press
gives tone to party. It is also a filet that a
large portion of the Pennsylvania editors
are masons, and it is well known that those
editors of all and every political faith have
become united in the support of masonic

THE ANTP.MTASONIC STA Nt AND Er
no one can doulit that the mystic,,tte leads
them to support Gov. Wolf. 1 (
We know many other papeis in this state
edited by federalists all supporting . Gover
nor but we do not know _whether they
are masons or not. As a specimen of those
we give the Harrisburg Chronicle, the Bed
ford Gie4ette, the %Vashington Examiner &C.
Let the. people look at those filets and ask
seriously how it can" he that all the fed6ral
editors in the state are supporting one man,
and that one man called the democratic can
didate?. No earthly reason can
. be given
tier such a strange stato of things, excepting
that Free-masonry has effected it. The
democracy of our state will streak this coin
bination into nothing at the ballot boxes.—
The people will it and it must be so.
