ANTI- A IN IC. Yawn the Middlebury (Vt.) Republican. RHODE ISLA.ND., • -The Antiteasonic State Convention drew up A Memorial to be . sent to the Legisla ture of the State,' at i . t3 . sitting, praying for a repeal of the charters of the masonic bo dies which, have been incorporated . by the State, - and for the passage .of a law prohib itingall extra-judicial oaths. Thal memo rial has been pre.,:mted to the legislature, which his just assembled : It is a very a ble document and is Signed by seventy dela gates, • Accompanying the memorial is a state ment. of the rpasonic -bodies incorporated by acts of the legislature, with the amount o property which can be held by these .. incor porations. There are,. including the Grand Lodge, r'7 lodges incorporated-by the State, . and thlllaggregate amount of funds they maylifd, including three lodges' that are unlimited in fonds, is 8430,000. There are five incorporated Royal Arch Chapter's, and the amount of funds they may hold isBl3o-, 000; disking the whole amount ofproperty which can be holden by the lodges and Chapters incorporated by the legislature, $560,000. Subjoined to the memorial, also, is a de position of DE Wrty C.l.riTroN . , which Bete - in the stronifeit light the independence and - _ - povereignty which masonry assumes for herself. When we read the following sen tence, taken from the deposition,—"But in all oases, all masons and all lodges arc bound to obey the ordinances and decisions o f the Grand Lodge to which they arc qt• tacked"—wo can easily see how Morgan might have been murdered according to an "ordinance - or decision" of the Grand Lodge of New York. 'We subjoin the deposition,. DEPOSITION OP DE WITT CLINTON. I, DE, Wrer CLINTON, of the city of Al. bany and state of New York, upon solemn oath, do testify and say, that lam a naem her of thekocietif Free and Accepted _Masons, hailng be Grand Master of the . Grand - Lcalge of New York for several years, and am well acquainted with the laws, principles, and usages of the said society. The Grand Lodges in the several States of the Union, and I believe in all countries, have entire and complete jurisdiction over subordinate Lodges, their members and their proceedings. ' and in cases of' appeal they are bound to decide the same, and--all masons are bound to support the constitu. lions, ordinances and decisions ofthe Grand Lodge, of the county or state where they reside, and to submit in all their masonic concerns to the awards and determinations of the Grand Lodge. A Grand Lodge has the power to inquire into the manner of conducting elections, to set them aside if irregularly conduct ed, and to order new ones. And the decisions of a Grand Lodge in such and all other cases are conclusive and binding. The principles of masonry ore essentially and uniformly the same in all parts of the world. Any person expell i • , • , - vhose expulsion-is-sanctioned- by a Grand Lodge, ceases to bo a member of the fraternity 'of masons; and loses all claim is relief and is not admitted to visit any 'lodge; nor can regular masons hold inter course, as masons, with him, nor is he en. titled to any part of the Lodge from which he' may have been expelled. A Grand Lodge has full power toYeinstate any per= sea who haekbeen expelled from a subordin _ _Mils:Age. No - Legislative act can create a-Lodge nor can a Lodge continuep-exisf independent of a Grand Lodge.l'or i the purpose orliolding property as Corplons, Lodges-have obtained acts of-incorOo tion from -the constituted authorities, butielich Lodges must previously have recoiind '\a chapel , or dispensation from a Grand L4lge. Nor .is the authority of the Grand Loklge, or the duty of the members of the subordin ate Lodge affected by such incorporation. The right to hold a masonic lodge is deri ved from a grant of the -grand lodge. The ,right of such a lodge in its eforcsai capa city to hold property as a Corporali n may pi i be derived from the grant of the lic au ,,... tborities. But in all macs, ail masons and all lodges, are hound to obey the ni.dinarioes and decisions of the grand nage to which they are attached. The regulations of Masonry are generally Lreserved in a book sanctioned by the Grand odge and denominated the Constitutions', and the unwritten rules are delivered down by-tradition, anti loth. united corimoie the as _ code of Freemasonry.' 1.
