Vindication and defence arc the objects of Anti-Masonry : to make them peace_ ably and lawfidly, we resort to the wea pons of the ballot box: to attain them eflic tually, we act with that union and concert which is only obtained by regular organiza tion, Let not the objection be raised, that the -- dete - ife — e - iireAtKirithrinfay be safely eri t ted to the ”Democratic Party." In vene ration for Democracy we are inferior to none. We stand towards it in the relation, -.Oat was held by the - earlier Democrats to wards the Whigs. In the_ revolution all wore Whigs; but subsequently the rights of the people wore found to need 'a more re stricted test, and to apply that test, the Dem ocratic- party arose. A Democratic was therefore, a Whig, who, in accordance with the now emergencies presented by the times; had taken new, measures to maintain 'Whig principles. In like manner, new events which have occurred since the organization -olthe -Democratic party have exhibited the necessity of new measures tbr the defence Of the substance of true Derthicracv. It the Anti-Republican mysteries and conse quences of Free-Masonry had been origin ally known, the wise discrimination of the fathers of the Democratic party must ne cessarily have made them the tests of ex clusion. Now, that they are fully developed we adapt ourselves to the new exigency, and without abandoning the principles of letibrson - ior-censing -to-be-Democ rats,-we add the new and necessary test of Anti-Ma- I o.mo • Let it not be urged, that the subject mat ter of Anti-Masonry is not sufficiently impor tant to justify the call for political union.— When the rights of freemen are to be vindi cated, the occasion is always important, and -wiltalways--just i honorable_ measures_ to, tender that vindication effectual.

The cause of Anti-illasonie Democracy is the cause of oval rights, vio lated not in a few trivial particulars, but in all the essentials and fundrunentals of free institutions.

In its time of need, he has always stood foremost in the ranks of the Democratic party; and he was among the first to promotethe Anti-Masonic re-organi zation of th;. party, when an additional test became necessary.
