— From the Albany Journal.
Mr. Yi r Enp—SOme days since, na neigh
bor pladed in my hands your paper,contain
ingthe report ofthe trial of Adams at Lock
port, with a request that I would read the
same, assuring me at the same time, that a
perusal of t l iat report would change my o
pinion on ;he subject of Masonry. At first
I declined reading it, but upon a renewal of
the requea, and after being earnestly en
treated by him, I promised'a compliance, not
doubting but that my impressions upon the
report, would remaih unchanged,but in this I
am free to confess,' I misjudged.
The evitlmce upon4liat trial', as detailed
in the report, shows clearly, that a citizen
was taken from Canandaigua in • a violent
manner, ,and without any authority, and
transported to Niagara, and there detail&
untikthe members of the Masonic Institution
• in canticle could be applied to, to receive Mor
gan, and forcibly to send him to Quebec, and
there put him on board a man-of-war, and
send him out of the country. All this was
don. it appears, for the sole purpose-44p— ,
arating him from Miller, hoping thereby, to
• prevent. the/ publication of a book which it
was feared would reveal some of the secrets
of Jasoury; and done too, by members of
the Masonic Institution. This transaction,
had it ended here, Would have been an out
rage upon the rights of the citizen; but-it
did not stop het e; tgliperpetrators upon ap
plying to their Masonic brethren in Canada,
were informed that they could not aid in the
business, and _refused to receive Morgan.
Upon the return of the Masonic delegation.
from Canada, the actors in this scene found
themselves in-an unpleasant dileirima, -with
out any other means of escape, as they
thought,, than to put Morgan to death,
which was beyond the possibility of doubt
done by drowning him in the Lake.
Here then, is a complete development of
this nefarious transaction. The only doubt
which can be raised by any one in-this bu
siness, is, as to the extent to which the ma-
sonic institution at large, has participated.
The Miniber and character of those who are
proved to have been concerned in the' busi
ness, warrants the conclusion, that the Ma
sonic Institution- iii the western parf Sf'this
State were directly concerned; their appeal
to their Masonic brethren in Canada, clear
lyproveS that they acted - as Masons, and
that they..expeeteg ,the , tordia - 1 , co-operation
of all 'Masons; in this 'expeetation, they do
not appear to have been dNappointed, until
they reached Canada - . But were additional
circumstances necensary to s support that con
clusionr they might be found in abundance,
in the conduct of Masons in that region of
country, since the perpetration of the - offence.
A reference to our legislative proceedings
clearly shows, that so extensive was this con
spiracy, and systematic the arrangement of
the conspirators, that the, former organiza
tion of the judicial department of our govern
ment, was found wholly unequal to the task
Of ferreting out the guilty; this led to the
creating ofa new Officer, and though through
the agency of that officer,. and after the ex
penditure of very large sums of public mon
ney, the truth has at last come to light and
thexrime; as well as the perpetrators of the
crime, have been clearly ascertained.—
Still, those perpetrators have not been bro't
to punishment, for the single reason, that a
jury could not be empannelled, wholly free
from the obligations of Masonry. '
I am no Mason, and I can further add,
that until the perusal of this report - , I had no
prejudices against Masonry. There are,,
_ no-doubt r matty r vary -many men of integrity,
_...rilia.are__mainbers of that institution. Still
I am not aware of any essential benefit re
sulting fromikeinatituf ion to the corrimuni,_,
ty, and as I am fully persuaded that the in
stitution in the- hands of unprincipled men,
might be wielded much to the public injury,
and be rendered J,y corrupt politicians., dan
gerous to the well being of the republic. I
have come to the conclusion, that it is my
d:lty as a citizen, to contribute my mite to
wards abolishing the Institution; and it does
appear to me, that the most effeCtual way of
obtaining. the end,' will be to withhold my
vote at all elections for officers of State,
from persons who adhere to the Masonic
Institution. Though I have heretofore act
ed cordially with the Jackson party, I must'
be permitted hereafter to act politcally, in
a manaer which will tend most effectually
to put down'lVlasonry. An Elector.

ANOTHER.
From the Onondagq. Republican
In the year 1818 1 became a member of
the "Franklin Lodge" in the town of Fabius,
by takinc , the three first degrees of freema
sonry, called the Entered Apprentite, Fel
low Craft, and Master Mason; that the oaths
and obligations administered to me on con
-ter rin - o-t he aforesaid three degrees were sub
stantially° the same as revealed by William
illorgan and published in Elder Bernard's
"Light on Masonry." On receiving the
aforesaid degrees I encountered in the Lodge l i
Room all that humiliating and disgraceful
degradation, (revolting as it is to human na
ture) so fully revealed by Morgan. Some
time subsequent to my iniatiatien If became
converted to the Baptist faith of Religion,
and became a candidate for admission into
the Baptist Church in Fabius, yet many of
the members objected to my uniting with
the Church till I first abandoned the institu
tion of freemasonry, on the ground of its be
ing aTwicked and corrupt institution, and at
war with the true religion; but a majority
of the Church saw fit to s teceive me. From
hat circumstance I Wasinduced' to examine
more .particularly the *useful and moral ten
dency of the institution, and am now free to
admit that ever since that time I felt the
importance of exposing the insignificant
ceremonies and deceptive allurements of that
dark, secret, and may well be called "Blood
Stained Institution; but there never has
been a time in which I felt secure in doing
so, till within the last year. The time has
now arrived when every citizen who regards
the equal rights of inan and the laws of his
country; can divest himself of the unnatural
and unlawful ,shatkles.of thai institution,
without the fear, ,of being visited with the
vengeance peculiar to adhering freemasons,
as thousands have been in days less ealigten
vtr.
Not only so: the time has Tone when
every republican .who Feels the necessity of
preserving his chartered rights inviolate is
called upon by every consideratiOn dear to
a freeman, to array himself against an in
stitution--members of which meet in secret,
accuse in secret, adjudge in secret, condemn
in secret, and xec to in secret.
That W• iam Morgan was murdered
there can be no doubt; that masons murder
ed him in accordance with masonic usages,.
is also equally evident—and it is for them
to make the atonement : Therefore if it is
wrong for a set of men to form an associa
tion, create and make by : laws, a violation of
which authorises its me inbers,to inflict death
upon the offimder with impunity, is it unchar
itable then to anticipate that every honest
citizen who duly appreciates the worth of a
republican government will demand at the
threshold of the Lodge Rc t om, a surrender of
'that charter, by virtue of which deeds of
darkness and bloodshed are . roiled from the
world ! - •
I do not make this etOse•of my senti
ments from any sinister motive; r neither
liiihimpr_wisli office; neither cio I do it from
any ill-will to any [mirror set of men; but
from a pure and heartfelt conviction that the
relative obligations which masonry impose
upon its members, are inconsistent with the
obligations of men to society at large, to their
country, and their Creator. That masonry
disorganises churdhes,contaminates the bal
lot boxes, and pollutes the halls of justice,
we have the fullest evidende; it therefore is
justly eonsidered anti:Ft:publican, anti-Chas
tain, and at war with every moral and tell
giou,s obligation.

Extract Of a letter, to the Editor of the Albany
Journal, dated
Lodeport, March 1:0th,1831.
As I'knew you was advised of the progress
of the Morgan trials, I did not burden you
with postage or speculations of mine. The
whole scene was melancholy and painful in
the extreme, to the mind of an honest man.
It was a further and more clear demonstra
tion of the lamentable effect of poWer and
influence of the Institution of.Freemasenry
over the minds and bodies of its votaries.
Every attempt to break down Giddins, and
the utmost exertions were used, proved abor
tive. Every witness brought forward to dis
qualify him, bore the most unequivocal testi
mony' to his good character for truth and Vo
racity, integrity. aiicl . morality. After a
cross examination of more than nine hours, :
by the able and ingenious counsel arrayed
against him, four in number—having all his
publications on .that subject, and,.hts testi
mony before three different Grand Juries be
fore them, he was not detected in a single
contradiction,. or. his ,testimony shaken in
the
.slightest degree. The
,severe test he
had undergone, and the ,manner he went
through it, seethed to 'come in corrobora-•
Lion of the truth of this whole relation. In
deed, one of
,the defendants themselves,
vhen hb had gone partly. through with his
relation, and that part which deeply affected
them too, said "he had thusfar told nothing
but the truth." It was so plain, unvarnish
ed and uncontradictory a statement of facts,
and so strongly corroborated by every cir
cumstance attendant upon that melancholy
transaction that has come to light, it would
seem that no man could entertain a doubt,
except those who had wilfully closed every
avenue to the truth. The utmost latitude
was allowed by the Judge' to the counsel in
their cross examinations of witnesses, great
ter I think than I ever - befoTe•witnessed---
and the counsel did not hesitate to avail
themselves 6f the indulgence to the utmost.
In their examinations - , and their arguments
to the Jury, their manner and matter were
not always called for, as I thought by their
duties to their clients.
Judge Nelson presided with credit to him
ielra—iiif - C - iiiiii - e - d aaesiio that supremacy of
the laws should be maintained; but without
the slightest prospect that that would be the
result. It is idle to talk of enforcing the
laws 'against - Freemasonry-4f - cannot be
done. And I greatly err if the Judge him
self is not fully persuaded of that fact. ..
It is lamentable to witness the perjuries
committed on 'these trials by the devotees
-of-the institution. It has been more appar
\
eat on this occasion, if possible than ever—
standing in no fear of a cross xaminatlon
by the special counsel, and sure y they did
not fear their bred, they would go on almost
without a shudder. Having no fear of the
laW. when. • h in his turn would swear his
h/brOther ear, or refuse to' be sworn '
where they were on trial, they testified
'without r traint. . .
The t nippy elicited on the trial o r ?A fax-
well d Shepard, prove concluively that
the subject of tho abduction, was not only
agitated in the chapters, but that they com
municated with each other by committee
appointed for that purpose. Thoso who have
been asking for legal proof on that point
have it now. ' Public indignation is more
strongly aroused than ever. Many who
have been heretofoke the supporters of Free
rriasbnry and known as Jacks, have declar
ed themselves in favor of Anti-masonry since
these trials.
The special counsel, howeVer honest-he
may be, is, totally incompetent to 'have the
charge of Such' prosecutionsas these. Be

the boat DID NOT CROSS the ricer, but after

Front the Niagara Courier
Every successive trial has exhibited Free
masonry in an aspect, disclosing tbatures
more and more odious, and principles more
and more dangerous.. There are circum
stances arising in every one of these exhibi
tions, which furnish new weapons to the op
ponents otsecret societies, and send a deeper
shudder to the heart at the practical
iuului
ty of their principles. lireemasonry htis
come elf with dishonor the more her princi
ples and acts are brought to the public gaze
of the people, and every renewed exhibition
sinks her still lower in discredit. The pro
traction and postponement of the trials, the
removal of witnesses, and the difficulties of
procuring their attendance, their contuma
cious conduct in Court, and the retlisal of
masonic jurors to convict in clear cases of
guilt, all go to fill the measures of public in
dignation against the masonic inststution.
They have furnished evidence of the danger.
ous influence of the masonic obligations in
many of the most important civil relations, ,
too strong to be controverted or• denied,
which must finally overwhelm the Institution
in disgrace and ruin."

LATEST FROM EUROPE
By the Ship Clematis arrived at Boston on Fri
day, from Ilavrc, the Editors of the Daily Chron:
and Centinel, have received tiles of Paris Papers
to the 6th February and Havre to the 9th. •
All apprehensions from popular ferments in
Paris- had subsided, but new apprehensions had a
risen from the opposition of the peace and War
parties, and from the peculiar state or Belgium.
The Duke of Nemours ; second son of the King
Odle French, was chosed King of Belgium, by
the National Congress, on the 3d of February.—
After along discussion, on the Ist, 2d and 3d,
which turned chiefly an the comparative preten
sions of the Duke de Leuchtenberg, and the Duke
de Nemours, it was finally voted to. close the dis.
cussion and to proceed to the vote. The proceed
infY was conducted with solemnity and in profound
silence. A committee of eight members to count
was appointed by lot. They were seated around
a table, within the semicircle in front of the tri
bune. After' the, votes were received the urn was
emptied upon the taole, and ono of the members

were found to be--191 in number, which corres
ponded with the number of members present—
two being. absent from sickness. The committee
then proceeded to road the name of each voter,
and of the candidate voted for, and to make a list
of each. It was found that there were for
The Duke de Nemours, 89 votes,
The Duko do Louchtenberg, 67
The Archduke Charles ot'Austria, 35 • "
No ope having a majority of votes, the Congress
proceeded to vote again, in conformity with a reg
ulation previously adopted.
On the second ballot there were 192 votes, viz.
for the Duke de Nemours 97, for the Duke do
Leuchtenberg 74 and for the Archduke Charles of
Austria. 21. The ?resident then proclaimed the
Duke de Nemours King of Belgium. ,
As soon as this 'decision was pronounced, the
cry of long live the Duke do Nemours was utter
ed from every quarter of thelhouse, from,the mem
bers and from spectators, and, the same cry was
soon repeated without, and resounded throughout
the city. It was soon followed by diScharges of
cannon, and a spontaneous illumination in the
streets. A troop of young lads promenaded the
- streets — with tricolored caps, and criinglongliVe
the Duke de Nempurs, long live the King of Bel
gians.
The Duke do Nemours was born on the 25th of
October, 1814, and is of course in the 17th year
ofhis age. The Journal dos Dobats of Feb. 7, dis
cusses the question whether the King elthe French

It is given as a rumour in some of the
newspapers, that Constantino, the brother
of Nicholas of Russia, and lately Vice Roy
of Poland, has seceded from the Emperor
Nicholas and gone over to the Poles. This
would be a happy circumstance for the
cause of liberty, and as in 1820 he married
a Polish lady, there is possibly some grounds
for the - rumour. Constantine, however, is
upwards of fifty years of age, and of conse
quence not likely to be effected by the argu

The writer of a 'communication in the

nomination, signature, letter, and number.
One additional clerk, he supposes might
answer fa any banking
. establishment.,
This plan, he says, is adopted in the banks'
of England, Scotland and Irefand- In the
city. of London, where robberies, forgeries
and frauds of every description are prac
tised so extensively no bank robberies ever
occur, though there are not fewer than fifty
banking establishments' in that city. , The
reasob assigned is, that the thieves are fully
