More Volintters.
We understand that a new company of volun
teers has been organized in the Borough of Eliza
beth, Allegheny county, called the Elizabeth
Glicirds. The company is full and under the corn
mind of gallant and skilful! officers. They have
tendered their service; to the Governor, and are
ready at a moments warning to march to the de"
fetice of their country. The officers are, Captain
James W. Hamilton, formerly of Pittsburgh; '
Lieutenant, William Lorence. formerly of Pitts.
burg ; .2nd Lieut. Robert Gallway. From the
avelOrno;Vn bravery and gallant bearing of these
younk men, we expect, should they be called into
action, to have the pletsure of recording of them
some noble and daring actions.
The company when organised was addressed in
an'appropriate and animated speech, by Gen. Jos.
LARGE, who impressed upon their youthful minds,
the "duty they owed their country, and with great
force told them the importance of the campaign in
which they are so willing to engage:
Masonic Procession.
The procession was in every respect well arran
ged and the whole of the ceremonies passed off to
the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The num
ber in procession was about three hundred. W.
W. WILSON, officiated as Chief Marshall, and J.
W. Fatroas..x, &curet. EXOWDEN and A. 111.C.ot
aros as Assistant Marshals. The line was formed
in front of the Odeon in 4th at., and the procession
moved down 4th st., to Liberty—up Liberty to St.
Clair, along St. Clair to Penn, down Penn to Wa
ter, up , Water to Market, up Market to Liberty, up
Liberty to Factory, along Factory, to Penn, and
dawn Perin to the Grove in the rear of Murrays
Hotel.
The ceremonies at the Grove were commenced
by an appropriate prayer by the Rev. John Ray of
Kittaning. An eloquent and very appropriate ad
di•a;s was then delivered by the Hon. CUAILI,ES
S:ll.LER.Abenediction then invoked upon the
assembled multitude by the Rev. Joss RAT.—
processian was then again formed and
passed
. down Penn street to Irwin, along Irwin to
Wood; down Wood to Fourth, and along Fourth to
the Odeon, where the procession was dismissed.
The most perfect good order prevailed, and the
department of the members of the order was such
as to reflect credit on themselves and honor upon the
institution to which they are attached.
The music was arranged by the leader of White's
celebrated brass band so as to be appropriate to
the occasion, and, was truly excellent.
The Hon. CHARLES Sn►r.sa, in compliance with
a resolution adopted by the brethren present, has
furnished lie very*cellent Oration for publica

To the Masonic Brethern auanbled, on the 24th day
of „Tune -1846.
LSAT! DitZTEIREN:
•
I am about to say something of the antiquity
and the remote history-of the Masonic order. This
is a subject which often excites the sneer of its
enemies, nor is it at all tithes viewed without ex
iting a smile of derision "from the brethren of the
fraternity themselves. Mr. Blackstone has justly
remarked, that most men are satisfied with the'
possession of property without feeilug . muCh incli
nation to' examine into the foundation of their ti
tles, or enquire why it is that when a man dies
his children should occupy his *sessions instead
of any other member of the community—why
that that he is compelled to leaVe behind, should
after his death be the property of John instead of
William; of his own family instead of the public at
large. In the same way jn regard to the•privileges
conferred upon its members by Masonry. Among
the Brethren of the Craft, few are inclined to un
dergo the labor of examining into the foundations
of the edifice they reverence; satisfied with behold
ing the polished pillars of the stately temple, and
being admitted within its vestibule, they rarely
enquire into the solidity of the rock that supports,
the superstructure, and have but a feeble faith in
those whose antiquarian researches have enabled'
them to,explore its earlier myste'ries, or to connect
it with associations whose names are extinct, but
whose principles still flourish within the walls of
the lodge. I shall endeavor, so far as it can be
done within the limited time I feel bound to as
sign to myself to condense this species of ihrorma
, tion, so far as it may be found in the writings pro
! fiwedly, treating upon the subject, without advert
ing to those traditions which are only to be com
municated to the initiated, and Mater the sanctions
of Masonic secrecy. I may remark, that the sour
ces froni Which my information is derived are e
qually open to all, whether masons or not, and
that in ;mere historical recollections, any thing
that could be considered as new or original, would,
for that, reason, bear an impress not very flattering
to the character of its author, what I propose to
do is to give a brief outline, which those having
the cariosity may fill up at their leisure.
Freemasony denotes the rule or system of rays-I
teries and secrets peculiar to the society of Free 1
and accepted Masons. It is an ancient and reaper
table institution. embracing people of every- religi- I
on, of every nation, and of ev ery condition in life.l
Associations for the purpose of improving in the
arts and mysteries of trades of various sorts, must
have been coeval, if not with the wants at least
with the earliest improvements in human civiliza
tion, and accordingly we find throughout all history,
that in the mechanic arts and in every description
of manufactures; secrets known .00y to the urtizan
and craftsmen in the particular branch have been
uniformly taught, and obligations have been im
posed prohibiting their communication, except to
those that have in the technical language of the
association been made free of the craft or guild to
which the learner belongs. Many of these secrets
of the utmost value to the various useful and or-;
um - ten:al arts are to this day retained, yet they
must be communicated to thousands from the ex
igencies that require their application, and such
important inventions could °illy be 'stained amongst
those who found their possession valuable by the
imperative force of associate:: combinations of
men operated upon by the mast powerful obliga
tions. I might mention nr.e or these amongst the
most obvious as an illustration of my idea, and
one which for two centuries has eluded the inqui
ries of the most ingenious men in this country and
in Europe, that have been concerned in the manu
facture:of articles of the same description I al
lude to the peculiar mode of manufacturing the
Russia Sheet iron, in which the process by which
the tinge, coloring and finish given to it, must be
within the knowledge of Many hundreds, yet
the secret is retained with inviolable fidelity, arid
neither wealth nor artifice have been enabled to
procure it, from the associations of men to whom
the secret is communicated.
The earliest habitations of men required very
little art in their erection; but when they began
to congregate into towns to build cities, to erect
walls for defence against invasion; when the wor
ship of the gods came to be introduced; when the
distinctions of society whether arising from wealth
or from fUrms of government began to prevail, it
is obvious to every inquirer that art, taste, ingenu
ity and combination, would all he necessary to an
swer the exigencies and the wants, or gratify the
luxury or the pride of men. Architecture would
almost from necessity become one of the earliest
arts cultivated among mankind, in its simplest
elements when buildings had become any thing
beyond that which the most unpracticed savage
may erect, architecture required a union of many
hands with many directing heads to attain its ob
ject. Some skill would be required in fitting to
gether the materials of a building, some knowl
edge of geometrical proportion in its erection—
the plum, the square, the level, the rule, would be
required in giving it due form and solidity and
placing it in a perpendicular position; the combi
nation of earths to produce an adhesive mortar,
the stones best adapted to combine with it chemi
cally; the bringing it to due consistency, the very
laying it on with a trowel, all these required not
only action rind industry but combination of
thought, adaptation of means to ends ft couldcould
only exist where different persons unite& for the
attainment of the objet. Bat architectural skill
was something more even in its infancy than a bare
heaping together of stone and mortar in such a way
as would render the erection permanent; it requir
ed plan and system for its execution; it gave scope
to fancy, and to the highest powers of imitation; it
called into action the most relined taste, and uni
ted all that was sublime, magnificent and beauti
ful in human conception. The mister workman
must form the design and mark nut his plan upon
the Tressle board; he must exhibit it to those
scarcely less skilffil than himself, that are appoin
ted to oversee it; in its details; they must commu
nicate it to the craftsmen who are appointed to .
carry out its operations; and ithey in their turn
must urge the operatives to the degree of industry
and labor that is allotted to each in proportion to ,
his skill and capacity. We behold in this sketch
of the combination which is essential for ar
chitectural purposes the origin of Freemasonry,
and the very form in which what is termed specu
lative masonry now exists, and has existed froin
immemorial time. Whatever
.doubts may be .en
tertained as to its earlier origin, it cannot, I think, i
be disputed that the Order of Freemasonry, in some'
of its most essential forms existed in Egypt. that
cradle of science and arts. from which alt that was
mysterious, useful and adapted to the. cultivation
of mankind, was diffused through the -hettions of
antquity. It is not necessary to remark here upon
the magnificent remains of Egyptian architectural
skill, but the extraordinary mechanical inventions
that must have been necessary to raise the Obe
lisks, Temples and Pyramids of that land of won
ders, cannot but be obvious to every one who re
flects upon the extreme simplicity which so far
as modern discovery has reached, is exhibited in
• the tools and implements of geometrical adm easurc
meat, whieh were in Ilse in the remote age in
which those objects of modern veneration and
wonder were erected. That these works could
not have been completed without combinations of
intellectual with physical powers continued through
a long.series of years, and which only could have
been kept in steady operation by associations such
as have been described divided into different orders
and keeping the elements of their skill profoundly
secret, except to the initiated, is so apparent to
the most unreflecting that it would appear a waste
of words to illustrate the subject. The Priesthood
of those early days, professing to possess then, as
they do now, the leverage that operates upon all
minds, in all ages, were associated with the mon
arch in political power, and the necessity of "apply
ing architectural skill in the construction of tem
ples dedicated to their superstitions, probably in
duced them at an early era after the formation of
governnient, and tr definate character being given
to thi3r peculiar and mysterious modes of worship to
combine with the associations of builders, and at
once to patronize them and derive additional im
portance from their skill and information. HOnce
it happened that the mysteries and secrets of Free
masonry became intimately connected in Egypt
with the mysteries of Isis and Osiris; and having
once combined each gave to the other reciprocal
strength,, and as will presently appear the forms
.-. ....., .
, , 4.
,r r.r.
of initiation, and many other particulars whiCh
now exist in the association have been eornmuni
cated and continued from that age with varying
and changing forms adapted to Abe'altered exi
gencies of society, down, to the ,present eventful
era. The knowledge of-the' Egyptiiinsas.it is
well known, was carefully concealed from the
uninitiated, and when the Priests did condescend to
communicate it to the learned men.of other, conn
tries, it was conferred as the knOwledge of Free
masonry, as at the present daY, in symbols and I
and hierogliphics, accompanied with 'peculiar'
rites and ceremonies marking the value of the gift.
As Egypt sentorit her colonies into other, coun
tries she introduced amongst savage nations the
mysteries of her religion;the forms - of her architec
tural embellishments and, the associated cOinbi
nations of men that could alone render them
valuable. Although the lust colonies:which ar
rived in Greece under Inachus, were conducted
there by him about 1970 years before the Christi
an era, and were followed about 300 years after by
Cecrops Cadmus and Danairs. yetit is not until the
reign- of Ercthurius about 1500 years before Christ,
that we find the mysteries of the Egyptian Isis es
tablished at Elusis, under the name of Elusania,
about the same time the Panathaenea were-intro
duced, in honor of Minerva, and the Dyonisian in
honor of Bacchus, wh oconstructed theatres and in
vented litany useful arts, besides instructing the
Greeks in the cultivation of the vine.. These soci
eties were moddlcd after those of Isis and Osiris.
and if we are correct as to the ideas heretofore put
forth as to the origin" of knowledge in Egypt, it
would seem to follow that the Dyonisia and the
mysteries of ELosis. were-like the societies of free
masons fornied for scientific improvement, and
more particularly for improvement in architectural
skill and knowledge.
"But (and here I must be permitted to quote
the language of a learned antiquarian,) "it is not
from conjecture alone that this conclusion is to be
drawm. The striking similarity amongst the ex
ternal forms of these secret associations, and the
still more striking similarity of the objects they
had in view, are strong proofs that they, were only
different streams issuing from a common fountain.
Those who were initiated into the Elusinian mys
teries were bound by the most awful engagements to
conceal the instructions they received and the cere
monies that were performed. None were admit
ted as candidates until they arrived at a certain
age, and particular persons were appointed to ex-1
amine and prepare them for the rites of initiation. I
Those whose conduct was found irregular, were re- I
jected as unworthy of initiation, whilst the success
ful candidates wets taulafit by significant symbols in
the principles of religion were exhorted to quell
every turbulent appetite and passion, and to merit j
by the improvement of their minds and the purity j
of their hearts those ineffluble benefits that they were
still to receive. Significant words were communi-,
cated to the members, Grand qflic-crs presided over
their assemblies, their emblems were exactly sim
ilar to those of Freemasonry, and the candidate ad
vanced front ore degree to another, till he hail
received all the lessonsof wisdom and virtue which
those conversant in these sublime mysteries could
im part."
Were it not that we are aware that the author
is descnbing an association that existed.three thou
sand years ago, should we not be disposed to think
that we were entering with him the penetralia
consecrated to a lodge of free and accepted ma
sons? In the further prosecution of this inquiry it
will be found that Freemasonry, connected as it
was with the mystical associations referred to,
continued to flourish in the republics of Greece
during the palmy days of those great models of
Ireedom, and founded those extraordinary e hitices,
the ruins of which still serve as models of archi
tecture wherever taste and wealth are combined
in the construction of buildings either public or
I private. _ .
Toe adaptation of architectural models so as to
associate the climate, scenery and feelings of the
population ofthe different ancient empires through
out which these associations were dinged, is one oil
the most striking characteristics that accompanied
their progress. It would he endless to follow, step
by step, as civilization advanced or barbarism re- I
tarded architectural taste and science,the emigration
of Societies, derived from one common parent, and
carrying with them in every country the system
of order, harmony and proportion and the limns
of internal organization 01 which we have been
speaking. No where was there at any time so
striking a display of all that has here been said es
in the erection of the Jewish Temple under the di
rection of Solomon, Hiram, king of Tire_, and
Hiram Abiff, the three great Grand Misters under
whose skilful arrangement that magnificent edifice
was constructed, The combination of powers un
der which that sacred temple rose from its founda.
Lion without the sound of axe or of hammer, or
any instrument of iron being heard within its con
secrated precincts; the division of labor, the distinc
Lion between the masters who planned, the over
seers who superintended, and the operative tmtsons
who applied their untiring industry to the construc
tion of the work—all indicate the Egyptian origin
of that association of builders, and the harmonious
union of those connected in that vast undertaking
corresponds so essentially with the masonic insti
tution of the present day as to render their identi
ty undoubted, and to place their common origin
beyond dispute. The practice of Eliusianian and
Dyonesian mysteries throughout the Roman Em
pire, is attested by the historians, orators and poets,
both of the republican and imperial governments,
the vast remains of ancient Hume herself; the rise
of Constantinople, its temples and palaces, ex
hibiting the rare union of Grecian simplicity and
beauty with the more florid designs of Asiatic
magnificence, and the wonderful displays of skill
to be found amidst the ruins of the great cities
of both the eastern and western empires, indicate
to the enquiring mind the continued action of
those associations of free builders, without whom
the extraordinary designs to which I have alluded
could never have been perfected and consummated.
About the beginning of the fifth century the Em
peror Theodocius prohibited the celebration of
the mysteries, and although they suvived in
other forms yet the priesthood of the'new religi
on of the Empire instead of combining to forward ;
the object of association for the promotion of sci-1
ence and arts commenced a virulent persecution
against every thing that was calculated to free the
minds of men from the trammels they had begun
to forge in order to control human action and ren
der it subservient to their schemes of aggrandize
; ment. During many centuries all traces of the
society seemed lost in the obscurity and darkness
that during the days of ignorance and blindness
which accompanied and followed the. invasion of
the Roman Empire by barbarous hordes that filially
subdued her collossal power and ultimately separa
ted her vast dominion into distinctive empires. But,
that these secret associations still existed under the
forms originally established, and upon the models
derived from Egypt and Eliusis is evident from the
extraordinary fact attested by universal history,
that during the middle ages, associations of archi-
tects under the sanction and special authority of
the See of Rome, emerged suddenly, as it were,
front the darkness that owered upon science and
skill, and in the course of a few years covered Eu
rope with those immense piles of architecture de
nominated the Gothic, in which are exhibited the
most sublime conceptions of the vast, the magnifi
cent, which seem, in some instances, almost to
transcend the bounds of human invention, or the
limits of human power.
The subject here adverted to is of the highest in
terest to the fraternity. and I trust that some partic
ular account of it will not prove unsatisfactory to
the Brethren. Dr. Henry, in his history of Eng
land, in alluding to the introduction of the craft in
the construction of those stupendous edifices sanc
tions the idea of an author well acquainted with
the history and constitution of the Masonic order,
, by quoting his words as follows: "The Italians,
says he, with some Greek refugees, and with them
French, Grecians and Flemings, joined in a frater
nity of architects, procured papal bulls for their
encouragement and their particular privileges:—
They styled themselves Freemasons, and ranged
from one nation to another as they found churches
to be built, their government was regular, and when
they fixed near the building in hand they made a
camp of huts, a Surveyor governed in chief and eve
ry tenth man was called a wallet] and overlooked
each nine. Those who have seen accounts on record
of the charges of the fabrics of some of our cathedrals
some hundred years ago cannot but have a greates
teem for their economy and admire how soon
they erected such ;lofty structures. Another wri
ter speaking upon the subject observes:—.tha order
to encourage the profession of architecture the
Pontiffs of Rome and the other Potentates of Eu
rope conferred on the fraternity of Free Masons
the most important privileges, and allowed them to
=BE
be governed by laws, customs and ceremonies pe
culiaito themiselves. The association was COM
poied of men, of all nations; off Greek,
Flemish and German artists, who" Wore denomina
ted Free Masons and who rangiiag from one-coun,
try-to another erected those elegant!chnrches 'end
cathicirala,'which, though they ,once gratified the
pride and sheltered the rights of a corrupted priest
hood, now excite the notice of antiquarians and ad
minister to the grandeur of `kingdoms.
The govenunent of this association was remark
ablY regular. The members lived in camps of
huts reared besides the building in which they were
employed; a surveyor or master presided over and
directed the whole; every tenth man was called a
warden, and overlooked those who Were under hie
charge, and such artificers as were not members
of the fraternity, were prohibited from engaging
in those buildings which Freemasons alone had a'
right to rear. These associations, however, being
secret in their nature, were considered ultimately as
the enemies of temporal and spirituel tyranny, and
after a series of years, when the Masonic society
-had so lergely contributed to the grandeur of em
pires, and of ecclesiastical establishments, the Ro
man Pontiffs not only deprived them of the privi
leges they had bestowed upon them without soli
citation,b,ut combined with the temporal sovereigns
of Europe to suppress the Lodges. • But Free Ma
sonry was AO constituted, its success had been
so uniform, the obligations imposed upon its mem
bers wefe so imperative and the meetings of the
chapters and lodges so secretly held that it surviv
ed all the persecutions -of• its adversaries on the
continent of Europe, and was received, cherished
and sustained both in Scotland and England through
many centuries, during which the records of its
history have been preserved with exemplary fidelity
by the Lodges. Although the English Lodges
claim a 'far greater antiquity, there can, I think,
be no doubt of the establishment of the Great
Lodge of Ancient York Masons as early as the
reign of Athelstan.
This lodge, the most ancient in England was
founded tinder the patronage of Edwin, who ob
tained for it a charter from Athelstan and became
himself Grand, Master, in the year 925. Under
this chatter all the masons in England were assem
bled, forined a Grand Lodge and devised rules for
the government of the subordinate Lodges. From
that period to the present under the auspices of
Kings, Nobles and Knights of high eminence of
the most distinguished architectural geniuses that
England has produced, the lodges of Ancient York
masons, :and the lodges of England have continued
to exist.' at times under flourishing circumstances
and at times apparently on the wane, and do now
exist, the order possessing the highest respectabili
ity both in the character of its members and the
value of its possessions. During so long a period
they have numbered among them_ members
all that Was elevated in rank and science or lof
ty- in pretentious—the greatest the wisest and the l i
best hake enrolled their names in r; sortiety more
I ancient than that of the Star and Garter, and more
I noble than that of the Golden Fleece or any other
order that has been n onferred amongst men. Du
ring this long period two or three •incidents have
ocrured Worthy of mention, and of some interest to
the fraternity.
Under the reign of Henry 2nd, the Lodges were
superintended by the Grand Master of Knight Ten
piers, who employed them in building their Temple
in Flee; Street in 1155, and in the year 1500, du
ring the reign of Henry 7th, who was an eminent
patron of the order,and almost renewed its exitence.
It was Patronized by the Master and fellows of the
lorder of St. John at Rhodes now Malta -who
assembhal their Lodge that year, and chose Henry
for theirprotector. I tnention these two incidents as
accounting for those two osiers of Knigthood
being engrafted upon Freemasonry; and Whilst there
is no doad that the forms of admission into these
two orders are practised in their several encamp
ment, and the mysteries they inculcated are in con
forrnity ;with the ancient laud marks of those two
celebrated orderders of Knighthood, I do not besi-
I tate to aver, that there is no historical evidence of
the connexion of Freemasonry with any other of
the orders of Knighthood then or now extant, and
that any pretended connection of that discrip
lion is altogether unwarranted, and the degrees pro
fessed to be conformed entirely spurious.
Another interesting fact in the history of Free
Masonry in England is that in 1425, during-the
ieien of King Henry - the oth an act was passed
rendering the meeting together of Masonic Lod
ges a capital felony. This act was passed during
the minority 'of the King at the instance of the
Bishop of Winchester, nue of the guardians of the
kingdom, and who has Leen handed offer to a som
bre immortality by Shakespeare in the fearful ex
pression, "he dies and makes no sign." It is scarcely
necessary to say that this act was repealed so soon as
the king came to his majority. In 1720 the soci
ety sustained an irreparable loss by the burning of
valuable manuscripts concerning the Lodges regu- .
lations, charges, secrets, (particularly one written
by Mr. !Nicholas Stone the warden under the cele
brated Inim"o Jones.) This was done by some
serupulhusbretheren who were alarmed at the pub
lication:of the Masonic constitutions. Whilst the
association of i.la sons was thus securing its perma
nency and respectability in England, it was no less
flourishing in Scotland, where it was introduced by
the free and associated archithets who built the
Abbey of Killwilling. It from the society at
Kilhvflling that all the Scotch Lodges take their
hailing sign, arid it is believed that some of the
American Lodges has e received their charters from
that most ancient and venerable fraternity, al
-1 though:the greater part of the American Lodges
claim to belong to the Ancient York Lodge-and to
have derived their charters from that common mo
ther of ; Masonry.
The existence of the Kiluilling Lodge has been
traced back by authentic documents to the latter
part of the 15th century, but from many circum
stances', it cannot be doubted that the Abbey of
Kilwilling was built and the society of Free and
Accepted Masons !'bonded at the village of Kilwil-
ling as far back as the year 1130. Whatever has
been said of the English Lodges in point of honor
and respectability or of names whether enno
bled by rank, science or. elevation of character is
equally applicable to the Scottish Lodges. A full
history , of the American Lodges has never yet been
given to the public; existing as they do in different
states preserving as Most of them do the ancient
landmarks; many 01 them chartered long before
the Revolution, and ranking amongst their mem
bers all that was elevated in the Revolutionary
struggl'c and all that. since that period have adorn
ed the various professions—have filled the judicial
tribunals or have been eminently distinguished as
men or statesmen, as well as those that in every
branch of industry Intve conferred reputation upon
the American name.
republic is all that time allows me to make. Its
connection with the ancient Lodges of Europe is
all that is necessary to show that the Free and Ac-
cepted Masonic Societies here form part of the
same great association, which has existed under
different names and phases from all antiquity,
and whose origtn although lost in the lapse
of ages can be traced to a period more remote
than that of any other human institution on record.
whose , mysteries have existed froth immemorial
time—twhose principles have received the sanction
of a thousand ages, and whose secrets will outlive
the wreck of matter and the Crush of other sys
tems that surround them.
Many a time have clouds and darkness covered
the glorious sun of Masonry, but it has as often e
merged, as it is now emerging from the clouds
of political persecution with a radience brighter
from the contrast; many an attempt has been
made through the long tract of time to extinguish
its existence, but it stands on a foundation too firm
—the Storm and tempest break against it unheeded,
and long may it stand, my brethren, an emblem of
peace hnd innocence, of purity; of charity and of
brotheily love.

FROM NAUVOO
We copy the following from the Hancock Ea
gle (extra) issued at 12 o'clock on- Saturday nigh
last:
An armed force ( about 400 strong, assembled
withont the pale of the law,) now lies encamped
within striking distance of the city; and its advance
in a hostile attitude is hourly expected by most of
.
the citizens. All possible preparations have been
made to receive the shock, should it come; and
there are but few at rest to-night who have 'not
arranged to spring into the street at the Map of
the bell." One thing is settled—if any armedforce
should enter the place With a mischieves intent;
they will have to walk over the dead bodies; of
400 free American citizens, who have recently.
purchased homes in • Nauvoo, and established a
residence upon property vacated by the Mormons.
The New Citizens have solemnly determined, in
council assembled that they will neither fly from
their homes nor be dictated to by an armed force
illegally assembled. To use the language, of
the speakers, the thrilling tones of whose voice
still linger in our ears—“We have purchased • a
right to administer our affairs, and as far as the
law upholds us, we will maintain that right": -
On Thursday night a meeting of New Citizen
was held for the purpose of consulting upon Mea
sures for the public safety,—several gentle Men
from Warsw„and other parts of the country were
present; and; as far as we could gather their opin
ions, all appeared well convinced that the remnant
of Mormons were using all possible exertions to,
get away and that no ground for complaint existed.
In an address delivered by Mr. Roosevelt, we ;1111.
derstook him to say, that "if others could see What
he had seen, they should be satisfied."
This relieved the minds of many, of much
sol
icitnde and the meeting readify acquiesced in a'
proposition to appoint a committee to attend at
the Carthage convention. -
This committee visited Carthage yesterday, and
returned with a proposition that an armed force
should be permitted to march within four miles of
the place, and that they should be admitted intalhe
town by fifties. This proposal was submitted to
the New Citizens; and as they agreed that it might
create uneasiness, and tend to a breach of the peace,
it was rejected.
It having been announced that some 300 or 400
men were assembled in arms at Golden's point, it
was suggested that a new committee should visit
them, and endeasor to induce them to disperse,
this was objected to at first, but it was finally agreedl
upon that a delegation should meet them as eiti- I
zens of the county.
The new citizens composing this body visited
the hostile camp this morning and returned in the'
afternoon with proposals of compromise, which
were again rejected on the ground that the new
settlers could -not consistently negotiate with an
armed force in the attitude assumed by the party
at Golden's point, inasmuch as no promise could'
be had that all hostile demonstrations would final
ly ceasein case the demands of the invading- force
were admitted.
A newcommittee was then instructed to wait
upon them with a request from the new settlers
that they would disperse.
In the meantime, (pending these neff ' otiatious
a-general arming -had taken place. Allmanner of
weapons have been collected and put in order.
Even some of the females are provided with guns,
and we noticed in the ranks to-day a boy not over
12 years of age, staggering under the Riad of a
musket.
