authority of this new assembly. Among
the rest - Dr. Benjamin W. Case held out,
and with the lends, papers, and books of St.
John's Lodge. The Fraternity set about

pelling him to submit to the jurisdiction of

:.they. sued him before the Supreme Court of
Rhodelsland, and then sent for depositions

sitions on file in theelerk's office, Newport,
It. 1... certified' by the clerk and presented to
the legislature with the memorial of the
late Antimasonic Convention, we extract
• the Words at the head of this article.
• Our object is., to show how FreemaiOns
swear to carry their point. In the present
ease it was necessary to establish the an
, thority of the new Grand Lodge. To that
end brand Master Russel makes oath that
"All Masons SWEAR upon the Holy
writings, to support the Constitution and
i t/
b -laws ofthe Grand Lodge, and to submit
all its' awards an, decisions in all ma.
?tic concerns." ... . -
By this it is not to_be understoOd that It
W. Case had sworn to .obey the Grand
Lodge which was contending with him; al
though the !mauve. of Maj. Russet may
lead some to. think so. All masons do 'swear
upon the holy writings to support the con
stitution, by-laws of the Grand 'Lodge,'
&c. But what Grand Lodge? Surely not
.every one, or any one to be thereafter es •
tablished. He swears also "to submit to
all its awards and decisions in all masonic
conoerns,"—right or , wrong, and without
any exception. But this oath cannot ex.
tend to Grand Lodges not in being.
- So far Maj.. Russet's affidavit, with this
explanation, is correct: In what follows, it
is the contrary. He says, "the masonic,
institution has been and now is, the same
in all, and every place. No deviation ever
has been made, or can be made, at any
time, from its usages, rules and regulations:
such is its nature that no innovation on its
customs can be introduced, or sanctioned
by any person or persons." This, he says,
"fifer being carefully examined, cautioned
and sworn to testify the truth, the whole
truthi. and nothing but the truth,"--and
adds, that "its ancient rules' have been
' 7 :ruiiiihia deivn and carefully - "treed-frac
the knowledge of the world by the members
of the craft." Grand Master Russel for
gets Prichard, and Jachin and Boaz. The
craft have not, as he swears, carefully pre
served Freemasonry from the knowledge
•of the worts. The whole thing was pub-
.fished in 1730, 'I76G to 70, and 'snow pub

Every honest man who examines tile sub
ject of masonry, and peruses the anti-mason
ic publications,_ becomes-an anti-mason of
course; this result is certain; -there is no
avoiding it, and when such men - become
,antimasons, they are so forever!
How important, then,-is it, to diffuse in
formation on the subject of freemasenry ?
Indeed this is the only business of antinia
sons.: for when freemen are informed of the..
nature and tendency of the imposture, they,
:as patriots, philanthropists and christians
-condemn it and-use s.uch efforts as arc adap- -
ted to effect its extermination. The time
was when all of tkei;_ao.l),ool.l4inti-niasons
were ignorant of tlic.l : l4ked,o3ths, indece n t
ceremonies and biasphemotterites of this
bloody order. One man - ventured to lift the
mask and discover to the world the hypoc
risy of the boasted "handmaid of religion:"
for this act ofpatriotista he vsas crtAelly mur
dered by the charitable brdiffe'rhood; but
his death will result in incalculable , benefits
to mankind. Wm. Morgan was the first
anti-mason, and the masons murdered him
agreeably to their laws. Since then the op
posers of se,cret societies have rapidly Mul
tiplied, and will continue to increase in num
ber until our free institutions are rescued
from the tyrant's grasp.
It is not desirable to see political anti
masonry spread too rapidly. We only de
sire that it may keep pace with the spread
of light , and this wo are sure it will do.
Just so fast as the people are made acquaint
ed with facts, they will embrace the good
cause: when they discover that the only
means of arresting the progress of masonry,
and of saving our Republic from its destroy
ing influence, is the ballokbox, they will
exclude from offi_ce_...tdj who: aJhery ...tsz it

If free presses could now be established
in every part of the country, the reign _of
masonic corruption would soon be at an end.
Democracy would then triumph. in itapuri

the Masonic Empire would then be hurled
from their thrones. Such presses.willjn,

Union. Four years ago there were but
two or three editors in the U. States who

Two important Items.
TO FARMERS.
TILE (mows, IN THE CORNFIELD.
The time of planting corn draws nigh.
The trouble which crows, squirrels, and
black birds, of every description, give the
farmer, by pulling up . the cora, - is - manifest
to the traveller, in the scarecrows which
painfully watch in many a field, and in the
extended lines, which, with magic influence
•upon the winged robbers, defend others.
Small and noisy wind-rniffS, dead hawks and
crows, suspended as a warning to the living,
and various other expedients are also adopt
ed by farmers to save their cornfields from
the plunderers. These cost labor, and are
not_perfectly effectual when they are done.
The mock man becomes, like king Log, on
whom the frogs juniped for their amuse
ment; the lines break, and leave a door open
to the adversaries; the winds cease, and the
clatter of the windmill also ceases. All se
curity-fails, and the crows still pluck up the
farmer's corn.
Now, save all this trouble, and be sure of
securing also your corn. Bring sixpence
worth of copperas, dissolve it in water, and
steep your half bushel of seed coin in it over
sight. This corn, neither beast, nor fowl,
.4m t itarmin, will disturb in the hill where
you place it. The' young blade will not
tempt a crow to seize it'with his bill, and
draw up the kernel by the roots; for he scents
the mischief, and flies away from the cop
peras, without his breakfast. No savor of
the yellow grain will tempt the squirrel, or
the dung hill fowl to scratch for it. The
copperas has a warning for them more ef
fectual than appetite. It hurts not the corn.
Though it be in the copperas water three
days, it will not damage. Even pumpkin
seed mixed with the wet corn in the dish of
the dropper, may also stand uninjured for
days. ' We speak from experience. We
have planted that which has been thus soak
ed, and have gathered the rich fruits with
these hands. There is no mistake. We
have fed on the increase of that seed, which
no bird, or beast, Will venture to taste. The
defence is sure; the remedy is safe.

The New York Commercial A dvettiser, °Mum

pectedlyove received London papers to the
March, inclusive, by the packet ship Hibernia,
Capt. Maxwell, which has arrived at this port,
limin Liverpool, Whence she sailed on the 21st of
March. These accounts are near a month later
than our former advice~, and are in all respects of
he-highest moment: Mt the wide space of time
which they embrace, and the great number, ex
tent, and. variety of the deti.ils of news they con
tain, render it impossible in a single sheet to dis
pose of the half of the interesting matter thrown
upon our hands.
Front Poland ; it will be seen that the Russians
have reached the Vistula, and thrown seine squad
rons of troops, arid a large corps ofcossacks across
theriver, after much severe lighting. There seems
to have been a succession of ..nittleS from thin 17th
to the 25th of February, inclusive, in the neigh
borhood of Warsaw, & tt ithin view of the capital,
by the aids of telescopes. The details of these
engagements, as they reached us through the Ger_
man papers, are desultory and inconclusive. En.
ough, however, has transpired to warrant the state
ment that the battles were fierce and bloody, and
the Poles have fought with a degree of courage
and perseverance hardly to have been expected
under their circumstances. In the early part of
these engagements, while contending with the
Russian advance, the Pules were successful. It
is believed that the victor of the Balkan Miscal
culated the strength and valor of the foe he was to
meet; & forgetting that "a despised foe can some•
timeS give a bloody battle." found,_ before he was
aware of his situation, that the laurels of the Im
perial regions, flushed the triumphs of Ottoman
conquest, had been somewhat tarnished. But the
main battle was fought before Pragicon the 24th
and 25th, in which the Russians, after an obstinate
and very bloody conflict, were victorous. An ac.
count of the engagements of these two clays will
be fouiialinder the Frankfort date of March 9,
written evidently by a Russian. But immediate.
ly following that article we hair° inserted•another,
from the Warsaw State Gazette, ender the date c)
February 28. Taking both accounts in connex.
ion, there can be no doubt that the Poles were
routed, if not overthrown. hostilities were renew
ed on the 26th ult: on which day, and on the 27th
there was much hard fighting, with considerable
loss on both sides. The Poles behaved as gal.
lantly as in the previous affair, but being . unequal
in - number to their adversaries, they were at length
compelled to give way. Determined, however, to
make their retreat in as good order as possible,
they 1RV ... R1.° to Praga, in order to interrupt for a
time the advance of the Russians. Praga was
thus destroyed,
Subsequently to these.dates, it is very difficult
to ascortuin what was the true wittiation ofultitire.
Early on the Sth of March, intelligence was" re
ceived in Paris, by express announcing- that on-the
?Bth, the municipal authorities of Warsaw, find
ing themselves no longer protected by their bravo
army, and being unable, from the nature of the
eity, to prevent the entry of the Russians, held a
meeting, at which it was resolved to surrender at
discretion. They waited upon the Russian Corn
mandor, to signify their submission; and the Rus
sian troops immediately entered the capital. This
event is announced by the celebrated correspon
dent of the morning Chronicle, in the following
impassioned strain:

And yet, notwithstanding the positive terms of
these accounts, it would Boom that the Polish capi

in forming a passage across the Vistula at

Cora, above WarsaW, and at Zegrz, on the

.with 60 buns, he
• moved the rest of the - diviSion Rose'', and
the.calvary of General Witt, by their left, •

the corps of Pahlen, reinforced by that of

Reinforcements, of all arms, to the amount
of 25,000 men and fifty guns, reached the

It is, therefore, evident that the Russians,

themselves with watching Praga, and wait
until the operation of their wings are com
