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.'
