of the. f - nllowing extract frotwan article in

to Mr Clay's assertion, that nothing is to

Constitution.
• "Our Declaration of fildependence first
speaks upon the Aibject, and if Mr. Clay
would read it, he would find. that Liberty
and Anti-Mazioury are synonymous. The
next place whore it if; spoken of, is in the

broken, either by his permission, under the

Masons wish to know the sentiments of can-

It is true that Masonry has violated and

indeed, to the body politic what a cancer is
to the human system—a fatal disease gnaw

which the only remedy is an entire removal
—a total extirpation. What party is Irtrre,
