he ',knew but little of it, as he netss- rose to the

That he knew nothing of the penalties and princi

the date of his Letter; thiit he had lately examined
them, sgstained by p'roof which convinced him of
their truth; That thus haying Masonry revealed
to him as a whole, ho says,. "I CONSIDER IT AT WAR

After some exculpatory remarks with regard to
WASHINGTON, he concludes as follows: "Be the
determination of your Con:vein - 3n what it may, I
shill everrletain a grateful sank of the honor con
ferredon. me by the nomination; and I beg the
Anti-Masonic Convention to accept the assurance
of my respect for them, and for their cause."
If, after this exposition of his views, Mr. Wirt

every man would-become such-an--adhering-Ma
won; and that - accursed Institution, which has
spread corruption, treason, and . disinay over mix,
land, would soon sink beneath the virtuous indig
nation of an honest people!
HENRY CLAr—lt is now plain, that the vain
hope and vuiner desire entertained by Some, that
the friends of Mr. CLAY would drop him and unite
in support of Mr. WIRT, Will net be realized. Mr.
Clay will be nominated by the National Republi.

coalition with that party, would have boon death
to Anti-Masonry. They are controlod by the
most proud and high.toned of the Fraternity.—
ErMark our predictions: A majority of the.flalti

flow is IT ?— = When the National lotelligencer,
a few Months since, thscurcred the existence, of
Anti 7 Masonry, it proclaimed that nothing would
be admitted into its columns on the subject. The
Editors said, "that they had spoken tbr the first
and the last time on the subject." What has
shaken their resolution? Not a paper now issues
from their press, but teems with vituperations on
Anti-Masonry. Is it becoming a little more den.
getuue than those good Masons had supposed?
isiVIRT AND THE LAWS?
Is the very appropriate motto of the Democratic.
Anti-Masonic party. With Wiwi , for our leader,
in the patriotic cause of "ASSERTING THE scram
mAcv THE LAWS," we have nothing to fear.
Our ohjea is avowed—our principles are laid open,
—and on to the consummation ofour object we will
steadfasty move. - In the maintetetnce_. of those
iiiiiiiguaranteedus by that Constittition fram
ed by those who deemed the preservation of "Lutg,
LIBERTY and Wirm4itss," dear and essential bless
ings, we will manfully brave 'the contendirig . bil.
lows of Masonry and her kindred, until the ":supre
macy of the laws" shall be fully asserted and
maintained. We have taken our stand upon good
and just and substantial grounds. We have placed
at our head a leader who knows the Laws and
Rights of his Countrymen. He bids us go on,
for he goes with us. We will take all that will
join us from correct principles. We cannot, and
will not go from our principles. We will remain
firm, go from us who may. Because our cause is
onward--onward, for the
"SUPREMACY OF THE LAWS."
PIINNIIYINANIA tri 1832.--A great deal of bom•
bast is used by the "Democratic ►arty," In refer.
ence to what the "Hero" will do in this State next
Fall. His friends, or rather-, the friends of the of.
flees under his control, would fain make the peo
ple in other States believe that every green twig
was a hickory sprig, always ready and willinglo
bow to the parent tree. But such information
will not suit the discerning people. The tender
buds of the old Hickory suited the Spring time
and Summers that are past, but the nipping frost
of noxt'Autumn comes rapidly upon him, and un
less he make. good his retreat, he might acciden
tally be caught napping. At all events, if there
should only be in the field, Wirt and Jackson,
Ritner and Wolf, the Hickory tree will, we think,
be under the necessity of sheltering A Wolf in the
peaceful shades of retirement. That's all:
TAXES!—The Public. Debt (says the
York Republican) is now 15millions, and in
all probability, this winter will be increased

The taxes now laid, are only calcu

increased to TWENTY MILLIONS, the
deficiency will be about 5600,060.

Bribery in Congress.
It ought not to be forgotten at the present
ne, that the only known attempt at Bantu.
Wic.„in. our. National Councils, was in the
name of !Masonry, and under the shield of its
obligations of secrecy. Every body recol
lects the case of John Anderson,• who pro
posed a bribe to Hon. Lewis Williams, chaik
man of the Committee of Claims in the year
1818. But few are aware that it was a - 2111th
sonic operation. The following is a copy
of. Anderson's letter, taken from - thpheowi
gressional records.
Washington, Jun. 0, 1:818.
The Ron. Lzwis Wita.Lims,
Honoured Sir: I return you thanks for
the attention I received to mrelaims to pass
o soon. But Mr. LEE will hand you some
claims frorti the River Raisin, which will pass
through your Honorable Committee, and, I
have a wish that . the conduct of the British
in that country may be related in full, on the
floor oßrongress; which wilLgive •you some
trouble lin making out the Report and sup
porting the same. I hare now to request
that you will accept of the small sum of
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS-as part
pay for the extra trouble I dive you; I will
present it to you as soon as I receive some
fram Government (!) This is CON FL DEN
TI.AL,, that only YOU and Ms may know
any thing about it; or, in OTHEIt WORDS, I
give it to you as a man and a MASON ; and
hope you belong to that Society. Sir, should
it happen that you will not accept of this
small sum, I request that you will excuse
me; if you do not accept, I wish you to -drop
me a few lines; if you accept, I wish no an
swer. I hope you will see my view ()tithe,
subject, that it is for extra trouble. [mummi
- ' ---- 1 - will - nrakej - stateiffentliffd - present the
same to the committee, which will be sup
ported by Gen. Harrison, Col. Johnson, Mr.
Hubbard, Mr. Meigs, Post Master. General,
Gov. CaSs's Report as Commissioner, and
others. I rely on your nor in keeping
this a SECRET, and your exertion in pass
ing these claims assoon as possible. I need
not inform you that .we are as poor unfortu
nate orphan children, having no representa
tion in Congress—so must look on your hon
orable body as - gUtirdiaitii." - - Pardon this lib
erty from a stranger. -I am with high es+
teem, your most humble and obedient Der.
vant, JOHN ANDERSON.
Thus it appears, that an attempt was
made by a mason, in the name of Masonry,
to swindle from the coffers of the United
States, a large sum to be divided amongst
masons. Anderson believed Williams to be
a mason, and "although a stranger" ventured
under the sanction of masonic principles, to
offer a bribe. Says Anderson, "if you will
not accept this small sum, I request you will
excuse me"—that is, if you are not willing
to cheat the Government, remember I am a
mason, and don't forget your oath to keep a
bfother's secrets. But Williams did not
happen to "belong to the masonic society"
as Anderson "hoped," and the affair was
blown. But masonry helped Anderson out
of the scrape, and he was dismissed by a
gentle reprimand, several brother masons in
the House rising to give him a good char•
Eiden
When a thief is detected in pilfering, we
naturally supposed it is not a
„first offence.
Here we find the secrecy of masonry used
to plunder the Government. Doubtl:.,
successful attempts of this kind have been
made with numbets, and eillions of this the
public property at different periods abstracted
and divided by masonic swindlers in the name
of masonry, and under the sanction of its
secret oaths and obligations.
FOREIGN NEWS.—By the packet

London and •Liverpool papers to the 25th
and 26th of September- have been received,
bringing news four days later than that by
the pravious arrivals.

in the House of Commons. The vote stood
—Ayes, 345 . —Nays, 236; majority infavnr
of the Bill, 109. It was presented to the
House of Lords by Lord John Russel, at

movers. . The first reading of the Bill was
agreed to by their Lordships, without com

Monday, the 4th of 04tober.
In Paris tranquility as restored, pnd the
Chamber of Deputies passed by a niajority

with the explanations given by the Minis

for all which interests the honor and dignity
of France.
It is rumored that the Empenar of Russia,
ing thereunto moved by the solicitations
of France and England, has determines to

Austria and Prussia have refused to re

country are not yet definitively settled.

Renewed attempts are to be made for the

STILL LATER.—By a late arrival at N.
York ”me learn that . the. Polish Army .did
not surrender at the fall of Warsaw, but is
again in the field, animated-with the love of
Liberty, and hurling defiance at their inva
ders." The Polish Commander, Roziski,
has issued a proclamatio to his fellow-coun
trymen, which “breathera spirit worthy of
the proudest days of Poland, and affords
ground for the friends'of Liberty throughout
the world, to hope-that the spirit of freedom
which still animates this brave nation, will
induce the governments of - France and Eng
land to interfere in its behalf."
THE NEW TAX LAW.
Our opinion having been requested by the
COUntyneorinnissioners on certain questions
arising under the act of asaernbly of the 25th
of Mar& last, assessing a tax on personal
property within this Commonwealth, we
have carefully examined the act, and concur
in the annexed answers to the queries pro
posed.
1. Under the first part of the section whicl:
provides, "that all personal estate and pro.
petty within this Commonwealth, hereafter
described, owned or possessed by any person
whatever; that is to say," &c. is a person
who resides in Pennsylvania, but owns the
description of property mentioned in the act,
due or paitinTe to him by persons out ofthe
state, comprehended within the act?
Answer.—We are of opinion, that the
general rule of law must be applied, that
personal property fellqws the person of the
owner. Therefore a person living here is
taxable for property owned by him, though
eve or payable by -persons in other states,
and ou the other baud, if the owner is resi
dent out of the state, the same is not taxable,
though payable by pereur hewv. viiiigh t .....
2. What kind ofproperty is eirihracid by
the words, "all ground rents, moneys at in
terest, and all debts due from solvent debtors,
whether by promissory notes, (except bank
notes,) penal or single bill, bond, judgment,
mortgage, and stocks inaorponttions, where
in shares have been described in money, and
on which any dividend or profit is received
by the holder thereof, and public stocks, ex
cept the stocks issued by this Common
wealth, and all pleasure carriages kept for
use?" 11
Answer.—Ground Rents are to be asses
sed and charged in the usual way. .Moneys
of interest embrace all cases of money pla
ced out at-interest, or on which interests
payable by the agreement of the parties,
whatever be the mode of security, whether
note, bill, bond, judgment, mortgage, parol
Or otherwise. All debts due froeiAnt
debtors, whether by promissory c,
comprehend, we think, only debts actually
due and pafaTi. re, not Those WhieVarb . not
become due, though the latter, if interest be
stipulated, may &Li within the former 'Class
of moneys at interest This is the legal in
terpretation , of the words, and we see no
1 • on-for departing from it. On tlio'iiilV
trary, any other interpretation would lead-to
great embarrassments. -
Do the terms, any person whatever, com-
prehend corperations, executors, guardians,
trustees, &c.'l We are of opinion, they do
not embrace corporations. If they were so
construed, then personal propeity invested
incorporations, might be twice taxed, first
as stock, secondly as debts of money at in
terest. It would also seem not to be the
inteilt of the•Legielature to include corpora
tio'ns wider . the term person, since they are
mentioned by name in the law, in, connexion
with a distinct subject of taxation, We Eiger
no reasop why executors, guardians, and
trustees should not be included under the
term person. ,
Stocks arc to, be valued at the par price.
All stocks are included, in whatever corpo-
Wiens they may be, on which d t iy,i4ends,or
*refits are Acived. The act giviss to the
assesscirrs no power jo make any ss4option.
If there; be , anysiocks which the :owners
deem to be exempt, it is for them tOlaim
exemption from the tax in such' manlier as
they may think fit. The assessors are not
called upon to discriminate.
Physiciatil vehiclesand Hackney coaches
kept for hire, we' incline to think, fitll within
the, words used in -the law--:-"pleasure' car
riaget kept for use"—though reasons o
weight might be urged for their exemption
from assessment.
