LARGE Dr,MOCAATIC MEETING A very large mooting of the old Democrats of Huntingdon county, (soya the Mercer Luminary) was hold in the borough of Huntingdon, on tho 12th ult. passing their opinion on tho immorality and aristocracy of Spcculativo Freemasonry, and appointing a committee of two persons in each township, to collect funds for thil gratuitous dis tribution of important antimasonic publications. This is good- Lot every e County in the State go and do likewise: thee the sworn secret party; sa crilegiously stealing tho sacred name of democra cy, cannot deceive the people. 'Truth issaid Cols) a divine attribute—ifeo, how much is 4 the duty.ofevery man in whatever sit uation in life he may-be placed, to endeavor to be guided by its dictates—there is nothing that will so soon sink a man in the eyes of a virtuous com munity, as the lo' e of falsifying and misrepresent: ing the acts of those who have boon appointed by the people . to administer their affairs. A writer "for th — otompiler," in last week's number, has seen fit to gratify his vitious spirit in bettor than a coluinn'of abuse against the Commissioners of the county, because they thought proper to con fine the publication of the Receipts and Expendi tures to Far.r. PRESSES—Prepscs that labor but for the common good of the public—presses, too, al though they have not been established as long as the "Sentinel" and "Compiler," have far out stripped either in the dissemination of light, truth, and correct principles. We have no disposition to enter into a discussion vitlethe honorable Mr. "Fair Play," upon the acts of the Commissioners. e They know to what par ty they are indebted for their present situations., and we .are confident they have independence e nough to do as their sense of propriety and a de sire for the public weal may require, without the dictation of eh masonic gladiators as the writer "for the-Oompiler." An old and trite saying—that the older we grow, the wiser we get—is verified every day. The writer "for the Compiler," gives us a demonstra tion of this proverb. He says—that this paper was got up for the purpose of prostrating the pre sent Sheriff Thus, we see, that the man who was a democrat, a federalist; — a mason , and an antirna son, at pleasure before the election, is now trum peted forth by the worshipful master of Good Sa maritan Lodge, as the "Candidate of our [their] parte—exultingly exclaimed—"We [they] have elected our Sheriff"—and now reechoed by this writer ','for the Compiler , " who glaringly adds the, Sheriff is not indebted to the Antimasons for his office ! ! ! =I Query—Who sent a young man one diiection, while he went another, loaded with Antimasonie tickets, and distributed them to the Antimasons, saying—"only Vote this man in . Sheriff, and I don't care who else are on the ticket?" The Sheriff does not thank nor is ho indebted to the ,Antima sons for his office'. L! Well done, "Fair Play." "Fair Play" says—Mr. finAoir petitioned to be come Jailor until Spring, notwithstanding the ex. srtion4 kint-and-his , parey -- ogainstli7rtsctian.n/ Mr. Cobean. That this assertion is a bare-faced falsehood, was known, no doubt, to "Fair Flay." That it is, and maliciously so, can be proven We are not surprised to see such a statement when is., suing from the guider it does.

PROGRESS OF ANTI-MASONRY. In the year 1826; after the abduction of -Morgan, there were - in Now• York, about 7000 Antimasorm . In 1827, there wore 1828 1829 1830 Such has been the rapid increase in four years," in almost arithmetical ratio, -The opposition and influence of masons was .so powerful, that very little was done for some time in other States In 1829 Ppm. contained 51,000 Antimasons 1830 67,000 Here likewise, is an . increase of thirty three per cent. in one year. In Vermont, 1630, -- ._ 12,000 Other N. E. States, " 49,000 Ohio . " $O,OOO Other different States " 50,000 Total number of A.ntimasonic votes, 332,000 In this enumeration, we include none but voters, as we have no d ata whereby to make other calculations. :Nlot; - iwe fina by_tlae_canvaa_ofthe last Presidential election, there were, about 1;- 200,000 votes given; a spajwity , of which will give the President. Now then, if those masons, who are'so loud lathe hue and cry, that Anti:masonry-is gcritiedown, lit coming to nought—will justlooic tit these filets, they will see a-steady increase of double every year. Allowing this ratio of increase to continue one year more, there will be 730,- 000 voters, and more than one half the vo ters in the United Statea will be aatlmason ie. This we conceive to be a plain common sense calculation. From the Newark Monitor, Jan. 20 Kr.
