I. Are vows Free. Mason? Ilso s state where made, and how . many degrees you have taken; and please state.the Obligation or Oath attached to each degree; uud ifyou aro a Royal Ar ch Corn. punion, describe the scone of the Burning Bush, as represented in the Lodge or Chapter. Answer by Deponent to Plaintiff's Ist quest.: I became a member of Pacific Lodge, in Amherst, Massachusetts. in June, 1826; in which Lodge, 1 took the Entered Appren tice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason's de grees. In September following, 1 left New England, and went to reside at Fort Maga -16, State of New York; and while in that vi cinity, 1 took the Mark %faster's, Past Nies ter's, Most Excellent Master's and Royal Arch Dr.grees in the Benevolent Chapter at Lewiston, in said County; over which Chap ter Col. Win. Xing presided as High Priest. Of the Oitlis or Obligations which were ad mini,tered to moat my introduction into the several degrees I have taken, 1 yemember those of the three first—having committed them to memory before I left New England, and they are to be fimnd as administered to me by Mr. Thayer, Master of Pacific Lodge, in the Appendix marked A. which is made a part of this Deposition. The obligations of the four higher degrees, I never commit. ted to memory, nor were they, to the best of my recollection, ever repeated to me, ex• cept when administered ,to me, nor in my hearing, except two or three times to others at their introduction. And in March, 1827, I discontinued my attendance at Lodge meeting -I, and have never been at one since. But still I remember many portions of them, though not with sufficient clearness to ena- Me me to write them out in full. When I received the oath ofa Royal Arch Mason, two others were blindfolded and -bound with me, and the embarrassment con - serpent upon such a situation prevented me from paying much attention to it. But I re. member the clause which required me to "assist a brother Royal Arch Companion, when engaged in any difficulty, and to es pouse his cause, so far as to extricate him from the same, whether he be right or wrong." It was talked of among the fra ternity, and understood by them, that it was not prudent to entrust to Masons of the low or degrees, the important secrets relative to the Morgan ,ConSpiracy,tha t they could on • ly be entrusted with entire safety to Royal Arch Masons, who were bound by a stronger oath than Master Masons. For this reason, winu..were strongly solicited to become Roy al Arch:Companion4; and some Masons of _the lowr.r degrees, who joined the Chapter, worn never required to pay any fee. They wore then .Considered as safer depostories of the secretti4 the Morgan conspiracy. In , the' Royal Arch Obligsition which was ad. alimiterisi to me, I cannot say whether the llthwititelstme to. keeping secret murder and male" varied froth the clause concerning lhOitieridise, in the Realer Mason's Oblt iipition or Unt. „4 • Tbsfollowiril Clrcutnotarrce. however,encl what 1 have above stated, induce me to be hove that Murder and Treason were not ex cepted; for 1 was present when Col. Jewett and two others received the Royal Arch obligation, and after it was administered by Col. Kiurr, some one remarked to him that he had omitted the clause respecting murder and treason; which he then repeated to them, and according to my best recollection, it was, that they must keep ALL the secrets ofa Brother Royal Arch C o mpanion entrus ted to thorn as such, MURDER AND TREI• SON ROT EXCEPTED; and Jewr tt promis ed to consider it the same as though it had been administered m due order. The pen ally of the Royal Arch Obligation carts, that I should have my skull smote off, and my brains exposed to the scorching rays of the meridian sun, should I knowingly or %I'M& lv, violate or transgress any part of this my solemn oath, or oblioition, °fa Royal Arch Masons I remember the sceno of the Burning Bush as represented in the Chapter, acd it occurred soon after the obligltion was ad ministered to me. While myself and the Iwo who were bound with me, (with a rope which passed seven times around our'respec• five bodies, and thus attached to each other,) were being conducted round the room, some one was reading the pmsage of scripture found in Exodus, "Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father•in-law Priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back side of the desert, and camrs. : to the mountain of God even !Torch. And the angel of the Lord appeared ur.fo him in a flame of fire out o the • midst of the bush; and he, looked, and behold the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed." By this time we had arrived, being blindfolded and led by our conductor, to the bush, when some one pulled down the bandage front our eyes, and the bush appeared before us, burning with exceeding brilliancy. Some one then per. sonating Deity, called out from behind the bush, "Moss s!" "Mims!" and our conduc tor answered, "UERE war I." The person then behind the bush proceeded "Draw not nigh hillier; put of thy shoes from of thy feet, for the place on which thou slandest is holy ground. lam the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." White the person be. hind the bush was reading the above extract, our conductor stooped down, and took off one of the slippers from my feet, and when the passage was concluded, they immediately covered my eyes with the`bandage, while a voice was again heard saying, "And Moses hid hisface for he was afraid to look upon GOd." hterrogalory 2d-by Plainfif. State fully any knowledge which you may have, of the abduction and fate of ‘Villiam Morgan, late of Batavia, New York, the causes for which he was kidnapped, the manner in which it was dour, and by whom, whether by Masons or others. And if by Masons. whether it was done in pursuance of their Masonic Obligations. State also whether you know that any Masonic body as such took any part in the perpetration thereof, or in screening, aiding, or abetting, the offenders. State fully all you know relative to that offence, whether witnessed by your self, or known through regular Masonic communi cation. Answer. In answering the above, I will state every thing in the order in which it transpired, whether witnessed by myself, or made known to me through regular Mason• is communication. I left Rindge, N. Hampshire, nbout the 3d of September 1826, for the West of N. York, to obtain employment as a school teacher. I had for many years been acquain. ted with Col. Jewett, at that time superin tendent of Fort Ningiirn; and I went to that place, believing he would render me all the assistance in his power. I arrived at the Fort, I think, on the afternoon of the 12th of September,and had been there but a short time when two messengers, who were Ma sons, came for the purpose of obtaining a place in which to confine Morgan, until they could make arrangements with the Cann. than Masons, to have him secretly conveyed out of the country. Col. Jewett, who was a Mason, and to whom I made myself known us such, on my arrival, stated to me, as a Masnn, that one• Morgan had been revealing the secrets of Masonry, and that the Masons in the West oeN. York were about to en gage in a high-handed measure, without a parallel perhaps in the history of the world, except when. King Stunisluns was forcibly seized and carried away by the Poles— which measure was to seize Morgan, a free citizen, convey him, by force, out of the country—transport him to Quebec, pr Mon treal, and from thence to England, if they could find a British vessel whose comman der was a Mason. He stated that it was not the intention of the Masons to do him any harm—that he was an intemperate man,and that the welfare of his family would be pro moted by hie absence, for the 'Fraternity in• tended to provide for-them. He stated, that however reluctant he might flied to engage in the transaction, yet he felt himself coat- 'I pelted, when called upon nsa Mason to ren der his assistauce, and furnish a place for e reception of Morgan; that if he was cer twin government would deprive him of his post in consequence of his participation in that affair, still he fblt bound to lend his aid, and the fraternity would be obliged to in• demnify 11:m for any losses he might sustain, since thii atfitir was for the benefit of Ma sonry. One of the messengers left with him a letter of introduction tonne Mcßride, a Ma son, residing in Canada, and at that time a member of the Provincial Parliament; and he was requested to go, and with the assis tance of Mcßride, complete some arrange. ments with the Canadian_ Masons concern. ing the abduction of Morgnn,which arrange meats; the Messengers had already coin. menced: The health or Col. Jewett was at that time feeble, and it being a laborious task to row a . boat across Niagara River, he requested me to go with him, and lend my assistance, which I did. On entering the village of Niagara, Col. Jewett accosted a stranger standing in the atteet, and made inquiry, as I. supposed, for the person .to whom the letter was directed. After some conversation which I could. not distinctly understand, the stranner remarked, "I sup pose I understand your business—we shall soon have a meeting of the Lodge;" and he invited us to enter. About ten Masons were present, a Tyler was stationed at the door; but the Lodge was not opened in due form. Col. Jewett stated to them the object of his visit; and infirmed them, that it was the tib ject of the Masons to suppress Morgan's book. A debate of some length and anima tion arose respecting the course most proper to be pursued; and •on that occasion, a Ma son, whom I afterwards learned to be Gar side, declared openly, THAT MORGAN OUGHT TO-PUFFER DUATII, FOR BREARINO lits MA. soisic OBLIGATIONS. He was promptly put down by awn her Mason, a gentleman (live ry respectable appearance, ho I understood lived about 40 miles from that place. This gentleman declared, that nothing could in• duce him to be, in any mariner, accessary to the murder of a man; but he would furnish motley, freely arid willingly, to aid in trans porting Morgan out of the country, and in suppressing the book. After some discus sion they could arrive at no conclusion res pecting the disposition_to be . made of Mot... gun, who was expected to beat Fort Niaga ra very soon, and we returned. We were accompanied from Canada to the Fort by two Masons, one of whom was Garside; and I understood from some things that were said that evening, that when Mor gan should arrive, he would be confined in a secure Blockhouse situated in the N. E. part of the yard of the Fort. While we four were together that evening, Garside remarked, that Morgan deserved to die fu revealing the secrets. On the following day, Morgan not having vet arrived, Col. Jewett requested me to asSist hint in remov ing some powder from the Magazine, which lie alledged ' was spoiling on account of the humidity of the room. I lent him my assis tance, not suspecting however, that he was preparinA it for the reception of Morgan, for I suppoSed another building was intended for him, situated in a less frequented part of the yard. The next morning, which was the day - of the Installation ofthe Benevolent Chapter at Lewiston, I was informed by Col. Jewett, that Morgan had been brought and confined in the Magazine the night be fore. Col. Jewett and myself, together with Eli Bruce, went to Lewiston that day to attend the Installation, on board the Steam Boat Murtha Ogden; Giddins, however, re• mained at home to take care of Morgan, to gether with a brother.itplaw from Lockport, who wasa Mason, and who came there the night before. The cause assigned by the Masons for the seizure and abduction of Morgan was, his having violated his MaSonic oaths. and revealed the secrets of Masonry. And by his removal from the country, they hoped to be able to suppress the publication of his book, contni;:ing a revelation .(f the secrets of Masonry. Tney viewed his Ma- Sonic treason as a most aggravated offence, and one for which he deserved punishment; and some considered, that the Lodge pus: sessed a right. to punish him •for his crime. And those Masons who were concerned in his abduction, so Ihr as I could gather from their remarks, considered their obligations to support and uphold Masonry such, as would justify them in violating the laws of the land. So far as I know, all who were in any degree engaged in that conspiracy, were Masons. t • At the Installation ofthe Benevolent Chap ter of Lewiston, which took place on the 14th of September, the Rev. Mr. Cummins, of Rochester, officiated as clergyman. • A very large number of the fraternity attended, and during the service, Jack. , on,the brother in-law of Giddins, was sent by him to rn• form the Masons at Lewiston that Morgan was making much disturbance at the Mag. !nine. I understood that some one was sent to silence him. After dinner I was present in a room with several Masons, and heard many remarks made conee s roing Mor. gun.. Some were enraged that he should, have made so much disturbance in his con• finement, and gaVe velt to their feelings in hitter curses. After the ceremonies and festivities of the day were past, I returned to the Fort, seven miles below Lewiston, in company with at least forty Masons, some of whom were going to Rochester by way of the Lake Ontario, and others intended returning. A portion of this company stop ed at Giddin's, who keput house of enter• tainment. I saw several of them walking arm in arm in the vicinity of the Magazine where Morgan was confined, but I was an entire stranger to them; and Col. Jewett and myself not only agreed to keep aloof from their consultations, but not even to go to the Magazine to see Morgan---to winch resolution I adhered, and I never saw Mor gan while there, nor in my life, and knew not, until long alter, what was transacted that night by the fraternity. Morgan remained a prisoner at the Fort, according to my best recollection, five days and nights. On Saturday subsequent to the Installation, Garside, who was present at the consultation held in the Lodge in Canada, came to. me tit the Fort, and asked me it Morgan was still in the Magazine. I replied that I presumed he was, but had not seen him. He then stated that Morgan desera• ed to die for revealing the secrets of Ma sonry; that he would rejoice to have an op portunity to put him to death; and if here. after he was lobe punished for the deed, HE WOULD WILLINGLY ASCEND TIM SCAFFOLD, AND GLORY TO DIE AS A MARTYR IN THE CAUSE OF MASONEY. lie asked me it I would go arid introduce hem to Col. King, that he might obtain his consent to pat Mor gan todeath in the Magazine. But I refus ed to go.• On the morning after the removal of Mor gan, Col. Jewett and myself were walking in the yard of the Fort, nod were met by Elisha Arinins, who had had the custody of Morgan most of the time during his confine• meat in the Magazine. He. told, us they had taken Morgan away, for he was not then in the Magazine. We went with .him to the door, he applied his mouth to it and call ed Morgan! .Morgan! Morgan! three tunes, but no one answered; he unlocked the door, and we entered. I then saw what convinced me that some one had been there confined for several days. On' the North side of the room, was a quantity ofstraw on which a person had lain; a pitcher and de canter were also there fhund; a plank bro. ken,a large cartralge•box for cannon, which Morgan had used kr the calls of nature; al so a silk flag handkerchief. Col. King soon joined us at the Magazine. He spoke of Morgan's having been there, but said noth about his fate. I was requested to destroy the handkerchief, which I did by throwing it in a deep vault, and every trace which Morgan left was obliterated, and the room set in order. 1 was net then satisfied us to the probable late of Morgan. However, I supposed that the Masons in Canada had fi tinily concluded to lend their aid, null had taken him to Quebec or Montreal, for I had understood from Jewett that a man in Can. ada, who was a half Indian and a Mason, had agreed to take charge of him on his journey. Every circumstance connected with that conspiracy,. which either occurred within my observation, or was communicated to me Masonicull y, I was bound by my obli gations to keep inviolate in my bosem, and had no more liberty to disclose them, than to reveal the secrets of Masonry. The ab duction of Morgan and the suppression of his book, were duuso iic measures, underta ken by Masons, fur the benefit of Masonry; and so long as I considered my obligations binding, I was compelled to keep the things I saw, and which were entrusted to me by Masons, inviolably secret. When the Masons saw,during the subse• quent winter, that effhrts would be made to bring them to punishment for their crimes, they held frequent meetings, and encourag ed each other to hold out to the last,and not reveal any of the secrets of that conspiracy. Some were apprehensive lest G idditis should betray them,and they proposed to raise mo ney to for him to leave the country. I was requested to go to Lewiston and state to same of the fraternity there the danger to Ise apprehended from the disclosure olGid dins, and to urge the necessity of procuring money for his departure—which I did. A messenger, a Mason, was immediately sent from Lewiston to the Falls of Niagara— who despatched another, as I understood,to Lockport, to ascertain what sum could be raised in that Chapter. I suhaequentiv learned that they had already expended their funds for purposes connected with the Morgan affair. Failing in their design of getting rid of him this way, they next re sorted to entreaty, and urged him to save his friends from ruin, and reminded him that by making a disclosure,he would violate his Masonic obligations,and threatened him if he did, WITH DEATH! Several of the Masons with whom I was at that time familiar,and who were acquain t ted with ninny facts relative to the Morgan affair, came to the conclusion, that if called on to testify, they would . itrear that they knew nothing about it' They alleged, as an excuse, that their . Masonic Obligations would justify them in so doing; that if they should take a Judicial oath in a Court of Justice,it would be on compulsion,nnd there- tbrc less criminal to break it than a 3fason is oath which they had taken prior and vol untarily; that their brethren who engaged in that affair,:!id it for the benefit of Mason ry, and were guilty of no moral offence, fir they intended no harm; and,therefore,qince their situation was so unfortunate that they must be compelled to commit perjury on one hand or the other, they had better swear that they knew nothing about the nflair,and save their friends from ruin. 1, however, did not wish to remain and expose myself to the danger of being called as a witness, and some of the fraternity urging me to go,lear ing, as I understood, lest I should betray them on examination,) left New York some time before the session of the Court, sooner than I had designed leaving, and went to Itor►roe, Michigan. In going to Michigan o avoid being a witness aintinst my brother ‘lasons, I considered that I was doing right, And I know that I discharged my duty as a good Mason. I went to Michigan in company with a Knight Templar,a gentleman of intelligence and unimpeachable character, who commu nicated to me, as a Masonic secret, in the village of Freedonia, THAT MORGAN WAS PVT TO DEATH Hit FREE- M ASONS. Tl► IS was the first ir►forrnation I had ever received of his fate, on which I could, with any certain ty rely; and the many opportunities which this gentleman had possessed of obtaining correct information of the fate of Morgan, induced me to yield implicit firth and cred it to his statement. Indeed, a short time, five or six weeks, after the disappearance of Morgan, 1 overheard Jewett and Bruce converse together upon the subject, at the Fort; one ofthem remarked, that if Morgan was thrown into the River, it is probable he was consumed, or the fish had eaten him up before that time; the other lase, ved, that Giddins walked the beach oft Lu ke every morning, to see Warty dead body had wash ed ashore. But this Knight Templar stated to me, that eight masons held a consulta. lion upon the-disposal of Morgan while con. fined in the Mal , azine,and agreed to draw lots to ascertain which three of thetn should put him to death: They put eight tickets into a hat, on three of then► were marks, the other five were blank; and it was agreed, that each one should draw, immediately leave the place, and not examine their tick, ets until they were far from each other: The live who drew the blank tickets were to return home dt&rent ways, that they might not know who drew the *narks, and of course could not be witnesses against them. The three on whom thelot fell to put Mor• gnu to death,'wero to r hair to the Fort at a certain hour, and execute their purpose, which was done by attaching heavy weights to him and throwing him into the River, some distance above the Fort. UI. Have any of the Morgan Kidnappers. whether convicted or not, ever been expelled from any Ma eonie body for that nircnte? . ' • Answer—No, nut to my knowledgv. IV. Have you ever known it Mason refuse to Wilily when legally called on,and ordered so to do by the Court. when a brother Alason was on trial, and he called to give evidence against him? h so,state the particulars. Answer—The only Morgan trials I ever attended, were those of Elisha Adams and Whitney Reach and others,ltad in February and March, 1. 4 :i1, in the last Court, I think, which has ever been held for the trial of the Kidnappers—and on those occasions, the Nlasons pretended to answer the questions put to them. V. Have youever known a ATasonic Juror refuse to convict a brother Mason of ti brime,when the other el.wen Jurors, not Masons,had agreed on his guilt? If so, state the particulars. Answer, 1 HAVE. On the trial of Elisha Adams one of the MurgAn conspirators, a Nins.n, by the Horne of Wilson, was sworn on the .1u rv, and the cause was submitted to them tinder a- charge from the Court, in which his opinion of the guilt of the prisoner was clearly expressed, and no one who heard the testimony manifested to my knowledge any doubt upon it. The Jury retired, and as soon as they bad ati opportunity to confer with each other the eleven who were not Masons a irreed upon a verdict of guilty, (as they stated,) arc ‘Vrt.som THE MASON, HELD OUT TOR TWO NIGHTS AND NEARLY TWO DAYS, REFUSING TO CONCUR WITH THEM IN THE VERPICT OF GUILTY. At last the Jury were called in, and Judge Nelson, who presided at the trial, asked them if he could afford them any aid i diet. One of the Jul of their number was and there was no pt.( ever agree.

Wilson then sa, a part of the test imou Question 6th on the State any other facts will to probe that masonic n defeat the administratioi Answer by deponent to Most of the facts of which I may have knowledge proving the interference of Ma sonry in the administration ofJustice, have not occurred within my observation, or been communicated to me Masonically. I will however state a masonic communication made to me before I renounced. A Mason, -a gentleman of intelligence, integrity and high standing, who, 'during many years of his life has held the office of Judge, by pro fession a Physician, told me, as a Mason, that while he resided in the State of New York, a Mason came to him and asked him if he wished to make his fortune. Ile re. plied,-that he had no objections. The Ma son then said, I am engaged in makingcoun terfeit money, unite with me in the husiness and we can become rich. The Mason to whom the suggestion was made, like an hen: est man, repelled it with abhorrence. TIM Masonic counterfeiter then told him to keep the proposition as a Masonic secret. And my inflamer told me that he had done so, for he conside•ed his obligations required it of him; and though the spurious notes which the counterfeiter had issued were in circula tion, and he knew from whence they pro ceeded, yet he dare not inform the officer or it, on account of his injunction of secrecy, although the civil authority were desirous to arrest the counterfeiter. Interrogatory Ist, proposed on the part of the Drfendant. Arc you politically attached to the Anti-Masouic party? Answer by Deponent to Defendant's Ist question. I ant. 2d question by Defendant. Have you committed yourself to the public by written statement, verbal declaration, or otherwise, us the obligations, or principles of Masonry? and in what manner have you so committed yourself? An leer by deponent to 2d question of the De fenda nt. I have frequently staled to articles which I huve written for the newspapers, in public speeches, and in private conversation, that the secrets o.f Masonry, and Masonic oaths, to the Royal Arch degree, are correctly re vealed, and I make the same statement on this occasion. I have also slated that the principles of masonry are pernicious and dangerous in their tendency, and that a Ma son cannot live up to all the requirements of the oaths (lithe first seven degrees of Ma sonry, without violating the duty which he owes to Socie ty,and to the laws of his country. 3d question of Defendant. Do you publish an Anti-Masonic Newspaper? or are you in any manner connected with the publication of such a paper? Answer by deponent to the 3d question of Pefendant. No. 4th question of Defendant. Arc you a seceding Mason? ,And how long were you a Mason before you seceded? Have you at any tune been an officer in a Lodge of Free-Masons, and what offices have you filled if any? Have you at any time, and when, administered the Masonic obliga tions, and which of them to any person or persons taking Mdsouic degrees? Answer by deponent to Defendant's 4th ques. I am a seceding Mason; and I continued a Lodge-going member from the time.ofinv initiation in June, 1820, to March, 1827; since which time I have not entered a lodge; although it was some time, I cannot tell how long, afler 1 discontinued my attendance at lode meetings, before 1 became satisfied that the Masonic obligations were neither morally nor religiously binding upon my concetence. I have never held an office rn any Lodge or Chapter, except on one occasion, in the Pacific, Lodge where I was initiated, 1 ea elated as Senior Warden in the absence of that officer; and I nevur have at any time; nor to any person, administered any o . f.the oaths or obligations of any degrees of Ala. sonny. sth question by Defendant. , Have you at any time, and when, been expelled from a Lodge of Free-Masons? ir yea, for what offence, malted or reatl "Istromr, sign" by the Beaver Argus, that a bet was made in that vicinity last week, hy a Wolf num with a Mu')lie, that Miner will • brat 211blileaberg twenty thousand votes.

Thus the case is pretty fairly made out.-- Both parties seem tu be willing to speculate in Rimer stock. rt A 'twee by deponent to M./ endant'ssth Tics. No. I never have. tith qu‘ stion by De fendo nt. Were )ou during your continuance with Masonry re strained or prohibited from disclosing its principles or obligations? If yea, state particularly the nature of the restraint or prohibition that was imposed up on you. Answer by deponent to Defendant's 6th ques. • I was. And I ails so iestroined mid pre• hibited by the oaths or obligations which I had taken, and in which I swore always to conceal, and never reveal any of the s e crets of Masonry, binding myself under no less penalty in the Entered Apprentice's math, than to have toy throat cut across from ear to ear, my tongue torn out by the roots, and body but ied in the rough sands of the sea a cable-tow's length front shore, at low water insrk, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty four hours. And as a Fellow Craft, to hove my left breast torn open, and in heart and vitals taken from thence: and as a Master Mason, to have my body sever ed in two in the midst, my bowels burnt to ashes, and the ashes scattered to the four winds of heaven, if I should willfully violate or transgress any part of the oath of a Fel low Craft or Master Mason.

And I never heard a oft explaining away the literal penalties, until a long time al= attending Lodges. .in by Defendant. Was the obligation to promote the political advance ment of each other generally received and acted up. on by Masons while you were in their fellowship? lf yea, how has it happened that upon all questions of general politics, Masons arc found to be opposed to each other? Answer by deponent to Defendant's 7 th gum. I•cannot say that the oaths administered to me contained any obligation to promote the Exilitica! advancement of a brother.— While I was a Mason in New England,t here was not to my knowledge any question of general politics before the public about which masons could interest themselves, or on which they could divide; and when I was in N. York, the Morgan affair appeared to engross the attention of masons too much to allow them to attend to politics. And I do: not know that Anti-inasons allege any rea sons why masons should not be opposed to each other on the questions of the United States' Bank, Nullification,•Tariff, Internal Improvements, or tiny other question of gen eral politics. Bth question by defendant. State the reasons you have of knowing the fate or Morgan, and whether you have a personal knowl edge of his fate and murder,and who was present at the time? Also Tante particularly those persons who abducted Morgan, that afterwards became political Anti-Masons, and made profit in, or a business of. publishing Antitunsonic papers of any kind; give the names of thost' individuals, amid the names and titles of their publications. Answer by deponent to Thlendant'sBth gum I have no reasons of knowing the fate of Morgan other than those I have given in answer to Plaintiff's 2d question which were the communications made to me by a Knight Templar at a House in Fredonia, N. Y. and a conversation 1 overheard between Bruce and Jewett. I have no personal knowledge of the fate or murder, of Morgan? I know not who were his murderers, or who were present at his murder. I never saw Mor gan in my life, and was not present at any coosultation respecting his disposal, except the one herd in Canada, which I have al read) explained, and which was held at least thirty hours before the arrival of Mor gan at the Fort; and the object of - which consultation as I understood, was, to divise means and adopt plans to transport him to. Quebec or Montreal. No persons who abducted Morgan have to my knots ledge ever become political Anti- Masons. The only persons to my knowledge who were implicated in the conspiracy, af ter Morgan was a bducted,and brought some distance on his way, and who subsequently renounced Masonry, revealed what they knew of the conspiracy, and became politi cal Anti-Masonry, are Edward Giddms, H. • B. Hopkins, and myself. None of us have ever made a profit in, or business of, pub lishing Anti-masonic papers, to my knowl edge except an Almanac may be so consid ered, which Mr. Giddins has regularly pub lished these past six years, in New York; and in which those pages usually devoted to miscellaneous mutter, are filled with articles on masonry and Anti-masonry; but how great a source of profit it has been to him, I am enable to say. The title of this publis • cation, is "Anti-masonic Almanac." JAMES A.

DEAR SIR, The Wolves and Notifies have this week been attempting to form a Union ticket in this county, which has resulted in the lat ter cheating the former into a nomination of a inVority en the Ticket who are friend. ly to Mohler:burg, INCLUDING THE SENA TOE ! The %Volvos are very restif and dis satisfied here ; find it is only necessary for the Wolf men in your county to address a Letter to the Senatorial candidate, SMALL, in order to knotc . that he is a Middy. For, although the Doctor is expert at deception, 1 presume that his boyship will not venture in the face of his Muhly friends, to deny his relationship to them. The Ticket is in many respects dissatis factory.--First, because Brooks, the last year's member, was thrown offend' made a Yearling.

STUPENDOUS Homc.---The New York papers contain a long and circumstantial account of pretended, • "GRSAT ASTRONOMICA L DISCOVERIES lat Cly made by Sir John Heraell L. L D. F. R.

THE BALL IS ROLLING! The 91000 Verdict rendered in favor of Mr. George G. Barnard, for a Breach of Premise to marry him, has encouraged another rejected gal lant into court. The parties in this case wore John Umbuogh vs. Julia Bollenbacher. The tri al came on in Frederick Co., Md, The discarded lover on this occasion did not make PO strong a case ns that of Barnard vs. Gaul, for there was no testimony to show that Julia overpromised to mar ry him. On the contrary, it appeared that she uniformly refused to dispose of herself. In the. hope, however, of winning her, he had presented her with "ear-bobs," "rings," &c. and it was to recover the value of these, after his peremptory iejection, that the action was brought. The fol. lowing is a copy of the bill upon which the Plain toff claimed a Verdict:— Julia Dollen tacker, To I pair of ear-Nibs '• 2 rings " 1 breast-pin " 1 comb " cash " beads The account was proved, and the Plaintiff's cause was ably argued. But all would not do.— A fler a Rolm., pause—A Verdict was rendered for the Defendant. Having seen in the People's Press of the 4th inst. a renunciation of John Aula baugh, Esq. whu had been placed on the Walt Ticket as Commissioner, we yester day called on that gentletnnn, who inlbrmed us that he regretted having given the renun ciation, as he had done so under a belief that the gentlemen who had obtained it from him were the friends of Governor Wolf, and acted entirely with a view of harmonizing the party. Mt. Aulabaugh, alike' not dis pose 1 to seek office, does not now object to be run on the ticket, and avows himself the unwavering advocate of the re-election of George Wolf. The Gentlemen who ob tained the withdrawal published in the Press, did not state themselves to be the advocates of Governor Wolf, but Mr. Aulabaugh con sidered them such, and acted altogether under that belief.

LATER FRO.VI FRANCE. By the ship Natchez, Capt. White, we have Paris and Havre papers to July 24th. The Cholera is spreading rapidly in the South of France, and appears to be very fatal. Among the places which it has invaded, are Toulon, Marseilles, Nice and Villefranche. At Nice on the 18th July, 13 cases were an nounced. At Marseilles on the 16th, 25 deaths by cholera, and at Toulon on the same day, 66. The losses of the French in engagements near Oran, Africa, on the 2fith to the 29th June, were 2fi2 killed and 309 wounded. From the French papers, we learn that the want ofrnonev is severely felt in the Car list nrmy. The last supplies of cattle by the French purveyors have not been paid for, and the troops are still in want of previsions. The inhabitants of Nava, nis coo . 'kJ under apprehensions of seeing theircountry traver sed by the armies. The large cattle which constitutes their wealth have almost whol ly disappeared. General Mina arrived at Tnulon from Montpelier on the 17th ult. his wound being completely healed. Letters from Vienna and Berlin announce in positive terms , the approaching acknowl edgment of Don Carlos by the Northern Powers. This acknowledgment will, it is said, counterbalance the - quasi-intervention of France and England. The accounts from the north of Spain are decidedly la vora ble .to the cause of the Qeen. The Paris correspondent of the Journal du Havre says, "The result of all the news re ceived from Spain is, that the Carlists con tinue unfortunate in all their sieges, and that they were pursued in three directions on the 17th July. The Basque and Navarre insurrection no longer inspires the govern. tent of Maria Christiana with fear. Letters from Algiers to the 12th ult. con. firm the intelligence from that place and Olen, respecting the serious check expo. rienced by the French. A more detailed account is given of the encounter, but pre. emits nothing further of consequence. PARIS, July 23—The ministerial journal contains the following. "A telegraphic despatch of the 21st from Bayonne, announces that Dan Carlos retired on the 17th to Albeiza, were he was joined by Eraso and the rest of the Carlist army. "Among the wounded who were convey ed to Fstalla and Yracho, several officers are mentioned, including Villareal and Sagest ibelza. "On the whole;' their loss was considera ble. The prisoners taken from them were sent to Pampelma, where the principal part of the army of the Qeen arrived on the 19th." Nuts, July 23—Several new cases of, cholera have occured on board the Triton. The Bourdenux Election announces the futhire of two large commercial houses in that place.
