Otr-On the same day, Mr. MCSHERRY of fered the following resolution, which was read a second time and agreed to:— Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary System be instructed to enquire into the expediency of changing so much of the. law, directing the modo of electing by ballot—as requires each voter to deliver tickets on separate pieces of papor, for each officer voted for, so that they may be au thorized to offer a ballot or ticket, on which shall be written or printed, the name or names of the persona voted for, and the pur poso for which the vote is given, plainly de. signated, without requiring them to be cut separate and apart from each other. Our Rail Road. Ozj'We cut the - following article from the Hagerstown Torch Light. Mr. BECKWITH has completed the survey of the route, and is now engaged in finishing the draft, &c. preparatory to making a report to the Leg. islature: "Our neighbors of Pennsylvania are tak • ing up the question of the Rail Road from the West end of the Susquehanna Bridge, through York and Gettysburg to the Mary• land hoe in the direction of Hagerstown, in earnest. We have just been furnished with the notes of the engineer by whom the route from Gettysburg, as far as the Maryland line,has recently been examined—an exami• nation which has proved most satisfactory in its results. Mr. Beckwith, the Engineer, says—"after a critical examination of the country lying between Gettysburg and the Cumberland Valley within five miles of Ha gerstown, I succeeded in discovering an entirely practicable rout for a railway—a route more favorable than had been ar►tici pated by the most sanguine of its advocates. On the present location there will be no ne cessity of establishing higher grades than fifty feet in the mile, a grade which is now considered as a very slight obstruction to the progress of Locomotive Engines—when they are known to overcome grades from 70 to 90 feet•tn the mile,as recent examinations on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail• Way have shewn." We learn that our Pennsylvania neigh bore calculate with much confidence, on be ing able to complete this road to the Mary land line; 'and if they do, there will then be a chasm of but 6 or 8 miles only, between Hagerstown and said line, to constitute an unbroken chain of Rail Road communica tion between Philadelphia and Hagerstown, over the Columbia and Philadelphia Rail way, through Columbia, Wrightsville, York and Gettysburg, to Hagerstown, a distance of 157 miles, and tt is more than probable that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road will intersect the road at Hagerstown; if it should not, but 6 miles more will extend it to Wil liamsport, and connect it with the Canal. We take the following article, upon the same subject, , from the last Hanover Herald: The Board of Engineers appointed by theloint Committee of the inhabitants of Gettysburg and Hanover, finished their re counoisiince of the route between the two places on the [6th inst. and we are gratified to learn that it resulted in the decided eon victim of its practicability. They repre sent the face of the country as pecel.arly a dapted to the successful prosecution of such a work. From this place to the Red Hill, a dis tance of about six miles, the country pre. s al ts a n almost uninterrupted level, and we have been informed that the road, as sur veyed, is a straight line for that distance. Whilo upon this subject, we beg to be permitted to expressa hope that the Legis• iature of our State' will be actuated by a lib and spirit in giiiing to this section a proper. timi of the benefits of the improvement sys. in which it has so largely participated, atid will continuo to participate in all the lottratzna moan it may bring upon the pee.

THE FIRE IN NEI Oz:rThe New York Courier says a tolera bly correct idea of the devastation may be • formed from the following account: South street is burned down from Wall street to Coenties Slip. Front street is burned down from Wall street toCoenties Slip. Water street is burned down from Wall street to Coenties Slip. Pearl street is burned down from Wall street to Coenties al ley,and was there stopped by blowing up a building. Stone street is burned down from William street to No. 32 on the one side, and No. 39 on the other. Beaver street is burned down half way to Broad strret. Exchange Place is burned down from Flanoverstreet to within three doorsof Broad street; here the flames were sopped by blow ing up a house. William street is burnt down from Wall street to South street, both sides of the way, Market house down. Wall street is bnrned down on the south side, from William street to South street, with the exception of 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, opposite this office. All the streets and alleys within the above limits are destroyed. The following will be found a tolerable accurate statement of the number of houses and stores now levelled with the ground. 26 on Water street. 70 on Pearl street. 3 on South street. 76 on Water street. 80 on Front street. 16 on Hanover street. 62 on Exchange. place. 31 on Exchange street. 44 on William street. • 33 on Old Slip. 10 on Coenties slip. 60 on Stone street. 3 on Hanover square. 23 on Beaver street. 20 on Gouvernours' lane. 10 on Jones' lane. 20 on Cuyler's alley. 38 on Mill Street.

By far the greater pint in the occupancy of our largest shipping and wholesale dry goods Merchants, and filled with the richest pro. ducts of every portion of the Globe. How estimate the immense loss sustained, or the fearful consequences to the general pros perity'? Of the Merchant's Exchange nothing but its marble walls remain standing. Another Letter from General Harrison. 0:7 - This "Here can, with truth, be de nominated the letter writer of the present day! He has written, within the last few weeks, letters to almost every prominent Anti• Mason and Whig Mason in the State! In all of which, he tries to meet the "two extremes!" Like the Kentuckian, he pre tends to be "half Horse—half Alligator!"— in other words, half Ante and half Whig Mason! and like all "Knights of the Strip and Hone," he is very desirous of shaving both sides! The following letter is proof positive of this assertion: The first part in tended to catch the Anties; and the latte* part, the Whig Masons! What a contrast to the open, manly and dignified letters of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, JOHN C. CALHOUN and DANIEL WEDSTF.R! • LETTER FROM GEN. HARRISON. CINCINNATI, 24th Nov. 1835 Gentlemen—l had the honor to receive your letter of the 16th lust. in whith you propose to me on behalf of the Anti-Masonic State Committee of Pennsylva uia, these questions,to which you request a reply 1. Do you believe that Free- blasonry.and all other secret societies bound by secret oaths,to be moral and political evils. 2. Do you believe the exercise of the elective fran chise to be a fair, constitutional and expedient means of removing such evil. 3. When the Chief Magistrate of a State or of the Union, is elected upon Anti-Masonic principles, do you believe it to be his duty to sustain those princi ples in his appointments to office. I have already, Gentlemen, written several letters on the subject to which von refer,and I am unfortunate in having my meaning very much misunderstood, if not designedly perverted,in many of the public prints. I therefore embrace the opportunity which is now of fered, in writing to one of the same gentlemen, to whom my letter of the 6th of May was addressed, to say, that there is nothing in that letter which denies to the State authorities the right to investigate and correct the evils which may arise from an association acting in secret, and under the obligation of secret oaths. Equally far was it from my - intention to say, that the executive magistrate of a State should not conform his appointments to public opinion. On the clutrary, I think it his bounden duty to do so; and in reference to appointments made under the authority of the United States, the expression used in the letter can be fairly construed to mean nothing more, than that the chief magistrate should not carry,into the ex ecutive chair,the partialities and prejudices of the in dividual; bat looking around him with a single eye to the public good, conform his - appointments to the wishes of the people,as far as it can be done,without a violation of the constitution, or the groat principles upon which it was founded. Having made this correction, I proceed to state, as an anasver to your first question, that I have in every instance when applied to, declared, that I was not a mason; and that I was opposed to time order When I wrote the letter of the fitl“if May last,l was misinformed as to many of the obligations entered into by masons. I have since seen a part of the evidence in a trial,in which Mr. Stevens of Gettysburg was a party; and as from the disclosures then made, it ap pears that the obligations of the members of the order as understecd by a portion of them, are totally incom patible with their duty to the laws of their country, I cannot but consider the existence of masonry as an evil, buth moral and political,however sum! Land I trust and believe it small,may be the number of those who hold these destructive and abominable notions. Iu answer to your second question,gentletnen,l say that in the exercise of the Elective franchise,theeo ple possess the means of correct' lit; all the evils w hich may arise in our Government; and that it ought to be used for that purpose. Hut in the instance , to which yourefer, there may be some differeuce of opinion as to the mode of applying it. In answer to your third question, I have to observe that there is an insurmountable objection;meeting mo en the threshheld, to my giving the opinion yen ask, as far as it relates to the Governor of aState. From all the circumstances under which the question is pro posed,it would be at once believcd,thnt it was intend ed to bear upon the conduct of the Governor of Penn s% 'ruin I could only answer the question in the chit meter of a citizen of Ohio, or in that of one who had been placed upon the list of candidates for the Presi dency of the United States. In either capacity, it would be h.glily improper In Tile to intrude my opin ion upon the Cover or the public. It cannot be sup yted that the Governor of Pennsylvania stands in need of advice from a private individual of another State,as to the manner in which he should discharge the ditties of his office. The same objectionovith the addition of others,which are even stranger' than that, and which will no doubt present themselves to your minds, upon further reflection, oppose my- complying with your request, in the character of a candidate for the Pripidency. In relation to the last member of your third qoeQtion, I am not certain that I cdrrectly under stand the meaning of the phrase, "elected upon Anti Masonic principles." I suppose, however, that the question is, what would be LI a duty of a President oldie United States, if elected by Anti- Masonic votes? I cannot answer this question, without incurring the danger of being misunder stood; without going into an examination of the principles upon which our complicated system of government is formed. The impossibility of an swering it properly, in a single line, will occur to you, gentlemen, upon recollecting the variety of conflicting interests which the office of a Presi dent ofthe United States represents, and which it is his duty to reconcile. 'flint the country of which ho is chief magistrate, consists as to many purposes, of twenty four distinct sovereignties. all possessed of equal rights—that the difference in the influence in an election between some of them, is as forty-two to three; and yet, that ho is bound by the most solemn obligations, to pay as much respect to the opinions end even the prejudices of the latter, within their own bounds, as the former within theirs. You must thereflire he content with the deems'. ration which I have made above, viz: That a President ofthe United-Ftaies is bound to consult the wishes of the people, who may have elected hint, and the principles on which it is formed. ! I am, respectfully, Your humble, obedient servant. W. 11. HARRISON. Samuel Shoch and Geo. W. llairis, of the Anti- Masonic State Committee. *Strange, passing strange! Nothing "stranger!" The Washington San savQ:— We 'never gave the slighest credence to the rumor that Mr. CLAY would he again brou l ! ht upon the field, and we have it in our power to assert, upon good and sulliriera anthority, that HENRY CLAY WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIR CUMSTANCES, RE A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY AT THE ENSUING ELECTION FOR THAT OFFICE, and it is his most earnest de sire that this determination should be known by every man in the nation. KrHarrison is his substitute! .n---The National Intelligencer contains the following paragraph in reference to Messrs. DENNY, STEvENs, and others, who seceded from the late "piebald" Convention: "It appears, from all the accounts which we have seen, that the seceders on this oc casion constitute the bone and sinew of the Antt•hlasonic party in Pennsylvania, (the President of the Convention and THA DDEVS STEVENS being among them.) These teen tlemen, we presume, preferred a National Convention, for the purpose of obtaining a more general expression of opinion. They may have deemed it probable, also, that such a Convention would have presented the name of a different candidate to the country —a proposition in which the Anti-Masons in other States as well as Pennsylvania might be likely to concur. It is certainly a subject of the deepest regret that so much division should exist in a case in which union and concert are so necessary." a_r TO ANTI-MASONS We ask your calm and sober atten tion to the subjoined proceedings. The au thors are those who have always stood fore ' most in your ranks, and against whom the wrath of the Lodge has been unsparingly poured; they are men bound to every prin ciple held near and dear by Pennsylvania— men whose very lives have shewn that the protection and advancement of your inter ests, and the best interests of your State and her noblest institutions, to be their highest ambition. Shall such men, then, be sacri ced to appease the anger of the Lodge and the craven appetite of those who have crept into our ranks for no other purpose than to create dissensions, to ensure the enemy an easy and certain victory? No—no! We know that the principles for which those men have contended, and do now contend, have become too deeply implanted in the bosoms of the Democratic Anti-Masons of I Pennsylvania to be uprooted by the wily and cunningly devised schemes of the Lodge —and that they wILL buckle on a new their armour to meet and again over throw that vile monster, whose slightest touch is pollution. From the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph THE DEMOCRATIC A NTI•MASONIC CONVENTION. TO THE DEMOCRATIC ANTI-MASONIC PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA. • FELLOw•CITIZENS:-It is known to you that the United States Anti Masonic Con vention, which was held at Baltimore in September, in 1831, passed the following resolution: " Resolved, That this convention recom mend to the citizens of the United States, opposed to secret societies, to assemble in convention, at the city of Washington, on the last Monday of Decemher,lB3s,by their Delegates, from each state and Territory, equal to their respresentatives in both Hou ses of Congress, for the puripose of taking into consideration,such subjects as the cause of Anti llit.-onry may then require; Pro vided,the National Anti Masonic committee shall not otherwise advise." The Democratic Anti Masonic State Convention that assembled at Harrisburg, on the 4th of March, 1833, passed the fol lowing resolutions: "Resolved, That a State Committee of nine be appointed, three of whom shall re side at Harrisburg; which committee shall have authority to supply vacancies in their body—to call Suite conventions when deem. necessary--and to hold correspondence on subjects connected with the advancement of Anti Masonry." The committee appointed pursuant to the above resolution consisted of— Joseph Wallace, Harrisburg. Samuel Shoch, do. Geo. W. Harris, do. Francis Parke, Philadelphia. W. %V. Irwin, Pittsburg. Z.

"Regolred, That this convention deem it inexpedient to recommend any change in the time or place of holding a National Anti Masonic Convention, fixed by the Bal timore Convention of 1831. Arid that the State Committee have full power, and are hereby directed to appoint the time and manner of electing delegates to said con vention. "Resolved, That the Stale Committee have power to fill any vacancies that may occur in the National Delegation." in obed;ence to those resolutions the state committee called a state convention in Me following words: “DEMOCRATIC ANTIMASONIC STATE CONVENTION.

"For the purpose of electing delegates to ,the State Convention, not exceeding in number the Representatives in both Houses of the General Assembly, the respective Anti Masonic county committees are re quested to call, at nn early day, County Conventions, or, if preferred, County Meetings, of the Democratic citizens oppo sed to Free Masonry and all other Secret Societies.

The Convention having met and appoint ed HARMAR DENNY President, and having made other preparatory arrangements, the following resolution was offered by Neville B. Craig: "Resolved, That ihe Convention do now proceed to elect Delegates to thej National Anti-Masonic Convention." Which resolution, after much debate,was on motion of Mr. Cox, amended by the convention, and the amendment was finally adopted, voting down the resolution °tiered "to elect delegates to the National Anti Masonic Convention," and substituting in its place the amendment, which is as fol. lows:— "Resolved, That it is inexpedient to hold a National Anti Masonic Convention; and that the Convention proceed to nominate candidates fur the Presidency and Vice Presidency." This vote having been recorded by yeas and nays, and the Convention, although night and a proper time for pause and ad journment had arrived, manifesting a dispo sition to proceed immediately to nominate, W. W. IRWIN, of Allegheny, moved an ad journment. He stated the reason of his motion to be, that himself, and those who had just voted with him in the negative, wished a short time to consider on the course to be pursued by the minority, in conse quence of an usurpation by the majority of powers not delegated to them by the peo ple. But the request was derided, and an adjournment refused. S. PARKE, of Lancaster, then read to the Convention, and presented to the President, the following paper, signed only by a few of those voting against the amendment adop ted; as in Convention no concert of action could take place in signing the paper, and an adjournment had been rudely refused. "To the President of the Democratic Anti-Masonic Convention of Pennsylvania. "The undersigned, members of this Con vention cannot recognize the right or power of the Convention to refuse to send delegates to the National Anti-Masonic Convention; and to proceed to the nomination of candi dates for President and Vice President of the United States, in this Convention—it being, in their opinion, a usurpation of pow ers not delegated to this Convention. They, therefore, respectfully withdraw. Harmar Denny, Thaddeus Stevens, Benj. Darlington, Samuel Parke, James C.Gilleland, Neville B. Craig, Francis Parke, W. W. Irwin, Charles Ogle." When the paper was handed to the Pre sident of the Convention, he promptly rose, respectfully resigned the chair, an& along with those wfio had signed the paper, with him, withdrew at once from the Convention.

A,II,IIItES% TO THE DEMOCRATIC ANTI-MASONIC CITIZENS OF PENNSYLVANIA. FELL 01V-L A BOURERS: THE unwelcome, but necessary duty has been assigned to us,of warning you of a deep und,unless speedily prostrated, fatal conspi racy against the very existence of your po litical creed; and,on behalfof betrayed Anti. Masonry, to appeal to your judgment a gainst the betrayers. For six toilsome years have we, in con nection with you, laboured to overthrow the Lodge, through the agency of distinctive political Anti-Masonry. Under its white banner have we patiently suffered defeat— calmly rallied, and finally marched to victo ry. Hitherto have we rejected every alli ance or amalgamation with any other party, as fatal to our very existence. Now,in the hour of our triumph, those principles which we have hitherto taught and practised, are sought to be cast aside, as acknowledged frauds upon an honest people! and Demo cratic POLITICAL Anti• Masonry is to hold open alliance with Masonic Whiggery, to elevate to power some moral Anti-Mason whose patronage may sustain the Lodge and crush its assailants! At present, we have only time to make a plain statement of a few facts,to which,in due time,will be added an authentic history of the transactions of the Conventions which have lately been in session here, which will grieve, while it as tonishes you, at the wily acts of the enemy, and early corruption of your trusted agents. In pursuance of the recommendation of the National Anti-Masonic Convention held in Baltimore in September,lB:3l; and by a resolution of the State Convention held at Harrisburg on the 4th of March last, the Democratic Anti-Masonic State Committee called a Convention, to be held in this place on the 14th inst. to elect Dele'ates to the United States Democratic Anti• Masonic Convention to nominate candidates for Pre sident and Vice President of the U. States. This call was in strict confermity with all the usuages of our party. The only candi date ever nominated by Anti Masons for National offices, were nominated in a Na tional Convention. In accordance with the call of the State Committee, a Convention did assemble on the 14th instaut. But instead of confining themselves to the objects of the call, and obeying the authority under which they were acting, a majority of there refused to appoint delegates to a National Convention, and have proceeded to nominate candidates for themselves—thus disorganizing and de stroying the National A nti-Masonic party forever, if their counsels should be suffered to prevail. The means by which this fatal result was produced; it is our duty faithfully to state. A Masonic Whiz!. or Harrison Convention was called to meet in Harrisburg at the same time with the Anti-Masonic Conven tion. It met and organized by electing a Masonic President,acd one or more Masons Vice Presidents. A large number of their body were adhering Masons, and most of the• others the strenuous defenders of the Lodge. A regular intercommunication was kept up between the members of the Maso nic, and such of those of the Anti-Masonic Convention as were privy to the plans of both. JAMES TolfD, Esq. ivho, it wits well known, was to be appointed Am-Ley Gene ral under the nosw aduidnistration,caused his non, as is believed, fl ho was a delegate, to create a vacancy, and come into the Con vernion as his substitute, notwithstanding the solemn remonstrances of those who be lieve that the purity of deliberative bodies could be preserved only by excluding from them all official influence. It is ascertained that SIXTY-FOUR members of the Convention were applicants for office, either to the Governor Attor ney General, for themselves or r lotions. Mr. Todd was believed to possess the spe. vial confidence of the Governor, and was known to hold the patronage of more filty appointments. %V ithout any 111/i horit y and,as we believeon express viol, tion of the feolliws and intentions of the Governor, he had induced the belief that the sure road to Executive tavor,lay through the uninediato nomination of General Harrison, without regard to his political Anti- NI nsonry!-- ithout intending to throw the slightest imputation on the integrity of the respecta ble members of the Convention, he who knows any thing of human nature, cannot mistake the efFect of such belief upon ex pectunis of office. The censure should fill, not on them, but on linn who could urge such inducements. Th u coalition with the Whig Convention was completed, and resulted in their joint nomination of the same candidates for Pre sident and Vice President ; and the agent of this ruinous transfer is lauded to the skies by all those who have uniformly opposed political Anti-Masonry! A motion was made to read the instructi3ll23 of the several coun ties to their delegates, which was opposed by the amalgamation party, and rejected ! We shall not pretend to state what occurred in the Masonic Convention, as it sat with closed doors a considerable part of the time! After Gen. Harrison was nominated, Mr. GEsT olli!red the following resolution,which was rejected by a large majority! Resolved, That if Gen. %Vin. LI: Harrison will give such unequivocal expressions—declarative,( if elected to the Presidency of the United States,) that he will not knowingly appoint AMT EH ENT!' of oath bound se cret ion in ties to ollice—that such expression will be evidence that he is sufficiently Anti- Masonic to be the Democratic Anti-Masonic candidate for the Pre sidency of the United States, and consequently, as such,ouzlit to be unanimously sustained by the Anti- Alasonic party of Pennsylvania. It is firmly believed that every true Anti- Mason in the State will refuse to sanction thus coalition, but hold himself bound by the decision of the National Convention about to be held. In addition to the SIXTY-FOUR applicants for office, the Convention cohtained, as we believe, twenty-four Whigs and one Mason! FELLOW•CITITENS! .:.

The following preamble and resolutions were submitted by Mr. Ifi/Hi, of Alleghe ny, and adopted by the Committee, viz: Whereas, a majority of the delegates to the Democratic Anti-Masonic State Conven tion of Pennsylvania, now in session, at Har rishurg, have usurped powers not delegated to them by the people; first, by nominating candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, without any authority to make such nominations; and secondly, in not conforming to the in structions of their constituents, and the call of the State Committee, under which said State Convention has been assembled, by refusing to send delegates to a National An ti- Masonic Convention: And Whereas, it is made the duty of the Democratic Anti-Masonic State Committee of Pennsylvania to provide fhr the represen• tation of this Commonwealth, in a National Convention of Anti-Masons: And Whereas, the refusal on the part of the majority ofdelegates to the A nti• Masonic State Convention to send &legates to the National Convention, will tend to the over throw of the National Anti• Masonic party, unless immediate measures be adopted to convince our friends in other States, that Pennsylvania will not recede from the na tional organization of our party, or abandon the great & patriotic objects lor which politi cal Anti-Masonry was called into existene. Therefore, Resolved, That the Democrat ic Anti Masonic State Committee of Penn sylvania approve of holding a NATIONAL ANTI-MASONIC CONVENTION AT PHILADEL PHIA, ON TUE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF MAY NEXT.

No wonder. lie is a gentleman of sterling principles, high honor, eminent talents, and gentlemanly manners.— With such a Secretary to aid our able and honest Governor, Anti-Masonry will always be safe. It false advisors, and interested sycophants, prevail for a moment, it will be but for a moment. lion. Daniel lirebster. rrTho boat evidence of the high worth and honest Anti-Masonry of this gentleman, is to be found in the sudden indignation of that epitome of Masonry, R. G. Harper, of the Sentinel. The strongest proof that Harrison is no Anti-Mason is that Whig Masons, and their press, support him. To what is distinctivo political Anti-Ma. sonry coming? Broug lit into the shambles and sold for a price, to enrich James Todd, Esquire! - The Philadelphia "Sun.', 117'This true Anti-Masonic press takes the true ground, with regard to the late pie -bald, usurpa tion Convention. That paper is seldom wrong when Anti-Masonry is in question. We trust its efforts to issue a Daily paper will be entirely suc cessful. slat I-Masonry. ErTriF: ANTI-MAsoNic party was formed out of all other parties, for the great object of destroying Secret Societies. The political opinions of its members on other National questions was deemed of no importance, and was not made a test of their Anti. Masonry. Democrats,Federalists,Jackson. men, and Anti Jacksonmon, cast off their old pre. forences, and old names, to join a now and patriot. lcparty for the overthrow of Masonry. That party can exist no longer than it continues to be animated by the principle which brought it into existence. If its leaders should attempt to con vert it to other purposes; to make it an engine for the destruction of Democracy,Jacksonisin, or Van Burenism, it will resolve itself into its original elements; some attaching themselves to one par. ty, and some to another, according to personal preferences; and the glory of Antolasoury will have departed forever. Has this been already done? We proceed to the inquiry with fearful forebodings: Goo. HARRISON has been nominated for the Pre sidency contrary to the usages of National Anti- Masonry, by a promiscuous and open amalgama tion of all parties opposed to Van Boron. ' The Anti-Masonic Convention of the 14th at Harris burg was composed of Anti-Masons, Whigs, and Masons. Many of them wore elected by am ilga. motion meetings, which sent delegates to both the Conventions—the one termed " Anti-Masonic," and the other '•Whig" or "Democratic." In Dauphin county, the Harrison-men, com posed of Whigs, Wolf-men, Anti-Masons and Ma. sons,,mot on Monday night and elected delegates to the Harrison Convention. Tho same men, in cluding Joel Bailey, A ROYAL ARCH Meson:, met on the following night as Anti -Masons, and elec. tod two gentlemen as delegates to the Anti-Ma. sonic Convention who had previously acted as members of the Harrison Central Committee in conjunction with Royal Arch Masons, and had presided at their meetingt! In Franklin county, the Editor of the "Whig," who during the whole campaign just ended, has continually declared that he was no Anti. Mason, was scut a delegate to the same Convbntion! Erma Conire county, the Editor of the Whig paper, and another Whig, who have ever been a shamed of Anti-Masonry, appeared and took their seats to control the operations of an Anti-Masonic Convention: In Schuylkill county, we understand, the same meeting Bent delegates to both Conventions! Ono sot of officers signed certificates for the Anti.sla. sonic delegates; tho officers of the meeting wore immediately changed, and the new ones made out credentials to the Whig Convention! • After the delegates from Northampton county came to Hurt isburg, as we understand, a gentle. man from that county requested them to sign pe titions for an investigation of the evils of Masoo. ry, which they refused to do!! Such is a pretty fair sample ot . tha "compound" Licata "Anti-Masonic Couveation!" Mr. &moss, Who has become tho favorite and organ of the Whig""Conciliating" Anti-Masons, to the exclusion of that old veteran in our causo, 'rum FENS; and who Edits tho Intolligoncor and that piratical paper called the "Anti-MasonicStato Democrat," says that the Harrison Convention, which was in session at the same time, co stained "ninny Anti-Masons." Such we believe to bo the fact. It dirt contain IVhigs,"many Anti-.llasons," and many Masons! The President was a Mason; one of the Vice-Presidents was a Mason; that de voted Moron, Charles Miner, was there—all act ing in loving concert with "many Anti.Masons.' Think ye, gentle reader, that all this was in tended for the benefit of Anti tilasonry7 No! As soon would those moo swallow poison. IT WAS INTENDED To MERGE ANTI-MASONRY IN A Harrison party! And by preventing a National nomination, distinct From this Masonic Whig alliance, they saw that they could effect their object. Their Counsel (Todd) in the Anti-Masonic Convention distinctly declared, that the great object was to ako a popular name to put down Van Huron. He will find whether Anti-Masonry or Harrisonism is roost popular! Tho firmness of the incorruptible minot ity— thst sterling band of original Anti-Masons, by appointing delegates to a National Convention, may yet save our party. We shall, therefore, in ject the nomination made without authority by the Whig and Masonic-Anti Masonic Conven tions at Harrisburg; and await the action of the United States Anti-Masonic Convention, about to be held at Philadelphia. By THAT, AND THAT ONLY, we mu. BE BOUND. If it shmild make no nomination, and thus dissolve the National Party, then every Anti-Mason will, wo suppose, feel hirn sellat liberty to vote for any of the candidates, who is not a Mason—WmyE, who is no Mason; VAN BUREN, wilo is no Mason; WEBSTER, who is an Anti Mason; or IHAnrtisoN, who professes mor al Anti-Masonry, but opposes political Anti-Ma sonry. Although opposed to all their doings, we shall give the proceedings of the majority of the Con vention next week; & would suggest to our Anti- Masonic brethren to do the same by the proceed ings of the minority. Let the PEOPLE see both sides, and judge for themselves. CCrWe copy the following article merely to let certain pa rsons know the source from which it It is copied Iron] the Pittsburg States man, edited by one of the bitterest Whig Masons in the State: GOVERNOR RITINER'S MESSAGR.—We in sert Governor Ritner's message, and with only two exceptions, we like it well. We will not be carping or censorious on the sub ject, for the reason (hat we have heard some things concerning Mr. !Wrier lately, that we are disposed to commend. Much to our surprise, we learn that both Mr. Rimer and Mr. Todd are disposed to be liberal, and are pursuing- a mild conciliatory course toward the WHIGS! (LTA Harrisburg Correspondent of the West- Chester Register, of December 16, thus speaks of Mr. STrivrivs' effort in the Convention, in behalf of "betrayed Anti-Masonry;"— "The afternoon session was entirely oc cupied by Mr. STEvrNs and Mr. TODD, the former in opposition, and the latter in favor of the motion. I speak within bounds, and according to the judgments of the most in telligent men I have heard speak upon the subject, when I say, the speech of Mr. Ste vens was the most eloquent and powerful one ever delivered in the borough of Harrisburg; and Arther in point of affecting eloquence, it was notceeded by any speech I ever heard, not even excepting those of the great debate on Mr. Clay's last Tariff bill. It was full of the richest ,:races of eloquence. UJThe Democratic Herald says.—"We shall he much In ista en, it thero is not a reaction in the Anti-Masonic party, that will scatter the Harrison scheme of the Lodge to the winds! The intrepid STEVENS was never made to quail!" g' qq"gq"q'qz7 q Too honest for the Lodge! ILTWe take pleasure in copying the subjoined paragraph. How justly severe Mr. Burro: treats the willing tools of the Lodge; and what a noble example he sets those who have boon sought out as instruments to destroy distinctive political An ti-Masonry. No other sincere Arti•Mason, who has the good of Anti-Masonry at heart, ought to permit his name long to bullion the Harrison Electoral ticket. From the Pittsburg Times Messrs. Gilleland & Jaynes, GENTLEMEN:-I see my name announ ced in one of the Harrisburg papers, as one of the Harrison Electors for this State, ap pointed by the spurious majority of the late Anti-Masonic State Convention. This appointment I take leave to decline, as I am altogether opposed to General Har rison's nomination. I am in favor of an Anti. Masonic nomination,and do not believe General Harrison any more of nn Anti- Mason than Henry Clay; nor do I believe him to be a man of the requisite talents and acquirements to fill the office of President of the United States. ANDREW BAYNE. Allegheny, Dec. 22, 1835. LANCASTER EXAMINER. 03-We had hoped that If ever the Star of Anti- Masonry set untimely, it would have been Herald-ed to an honorable grave, by our brother of Lancaster. But, alas I amidst the general diffusion of attractive blindness issued by the Lodge, that paper has been lost in the mist, and the once proud banner of dis tinctive, unadulterated Anti-Masonry made to lower beneath one thought to be more "available !" But whilst there is a Son or a Sran to dart their bright rays Into the dark corners of the Lodge; or a Ge• zerra that will faithfully record the true "tidings of the MIES," we have no need, as yet, to despair of Anti-Masonry• TEXAS.—The following is an extract of a letter dated New Orleans, Dec. s: We had two arrivals from Brasoria yes. terday—the Texians are gettincr on Cos has surrendered at Sun Antonio de' Bexar. An arrival from Niatitinoras gives us the information of the capture of Tampico by General Mexia, and the State of Tamau lipas has declared against Santa Anna." For the Star & Banner To the Citizens of Straban Township. Perhaps it may be thought strange that, so long after a transaction has taken place, that I should appear before the public; but I was not aware, until lately, that I was so generally charged, with usurping the peo ple's rights, and of being the principal agent in fixing and levying the 20 per cent School Tax. Being so informed by the Collector of Strehan, and some more of my friends, I have thought it a duty which I wive to my self and the pLiblic, to correct so FALSE and ERRONEOUS an opinion, by giving an honest and candid statement of the facts which took place at the Convention of School Directors in May last, and, so far as myself and the citizens of Straban are concerned,for a short time before and after that convention. have done this, not so much to justify my self, as to satisfy the public. Any person who has been the least con versant with the Supplement to the School Law, passed iri 1835, might have easily perceived,that the Commissioners had neith er a seat nor a vote in that Convention,furth• er than to take the proceedings of the Con vention to have them recorded, and issue their order for the pay of the Delegates.— But being in the Court House when the del-, egates from each Township was called on for their name, their was no representative from Straban-1 then rose and stated, that the School Law was in operation, and that I had besn infbrmed that the people of Stra ban had, by a unanimous vote, last spring, elected two School Directors in favor of the system. A fair understanding that the pub lic schools were to be continued. and that it was for want of attention to the law and an oversight of duty, and not intentional, that the School Directors neglected sending a Delegate; which was the fact. Under these circumstances. I ask ed the Convention to continue the school law in Straban. Then I appeal to every intelligent citizen of Stra ban, (who is not an enemy to the School Law at heart) had you been placed in the same situation, under the same circumstan ces, if you would not have felt yourselves under obligation, and a sense of duty, to have asked the convention, not as a mere fa vor, but as a legal right to continue the school law? But it has been asked, how my name came to appear as a delegate for Strahan in the published proceedings? In Answer I say, that in conversation with some of the delegates I pledged myself that I would im mediately call a meeting of the Board of ' School Directors of Strahan, and if what I had done met their approbation, they should appoint one to go to Gettysburg and have their name inserted in place of rnine. I did give notice to some of the Board; they ap pointed a day, sent word to the rest, and al thOugh they did not all meet s there was e nough to do business. 1 stattd what 1 had done; they not only avprovit but seemed rejoiced that had done so. They then sta ted there was a vacancy in the Board, and that they would appoint me to fill that va cancy. I objected and gave my reasons, which I thought sufficient. They said, as my name was there, and for other reasons they assigned, I should lay aside every ob jection. I submitted. At the next meet ing the whole Board approved of what 1 had done and of my appointment, and acted accordingly—which made it their act and not mine. Why, then, in the name of common sense, charge me with what you yourselves were guilty of? I only asked fur the continuance of the law, you had said, by a previous act, that it should be continued—not by a mere majority, but by a unanimous vote that the public schools should be continued. I say you, because I was not at the last Spring Election, being absent on public business and neither asked a man to vote for or a gainst it. The PEOPLE elect the School Di rectors; the law gave them the power of lay ing a Tax beyond double the amount of the State appropriation. They did it, and not me. If you did not understand the Law so, it was your neglect and not my fault. Having submitted these remarks, I remain the public's, Humble Servant, ROBERT McILUIENY. December 23, 1935. From the Harrisburg Journal of Dec. 22 Investigation of Free-Masonry. On Saturday it was ordered by the House of Representatives,on motion of Mr. Stevens, that a committee be appointed, with power to send for persons and papers, for the pur pose of "investigating the evils of Free• M asonry." The committee was appointed by the Speaker, and the names of the individual members appeared upon the journals of yes terday morning—they were Messrs. Ste vens, Cox, Huston of Fayette, Spackman and Frew. From the character of the two first and the last named gentlemen, we pre sume that the investigation will be prosecu ted with vigor, and that the secrets of the lodge, if there be indeed any yet undisclosed, will be fully laid open to the world, at once affording proof of the truth or falsity of the numerous charges which have been made against the Masonic institution. As there has been a partial coalition for med between the Anti-Masonic and whig parties, and as there is no party more enti. tied to the name of masonic party, than the whigs, this investigation will probably be attended with many amusing incidents, and result in further detaching all sincere Anti- Masons from the unnatural league. It will undoubtedly prove that the coalition is not based upon the slightest affinity of principle.
