The policy of the new French Ministry in the

than I can devote to it. in this letter. I can say
but a few words, but they may expLi in all I de

commenced an opeositi on to the new Associations.
Some have called then in their circulars "useless
and unnecassary;" nthe.o "Insulting to the Riots

that they may beroyie dangerous! No one . who

"STAY OF EUCUTION!"
Alter the last Legislature had passed-thy
improv6inent bill, and
given his pressing advic
things to raise money to meet the interest -
on the State debt, and the Legislature had
passed those bilk—the chairman of the
committee of Ways and Means offered a
resolution, to suspend any process relative
to those tax bill. until tiller the first of Oc
tober.i.:.Yxt. The resolution passed and re
ceived theapprobation of the Governor.
Here was a case of cowardly electioneer
ing rarely equalled in our government.—,
The Gov. had declared that there would be
a deficiency in moans to pay intertist, on the
first of, August next, hi $203,000' and he
had pressed the legislature to provide means
to meet, it—he had told-the same body that
he signed the jute improvement bill under
the fullest impression that laws would be
passed to meet the interest of our state loans;
yet, when the tax bills passed, the Govern- .
or' and the Legislature, as if frightened-at
their own acts, passed a resolution staying
'all operations until after ate next election. ,
Some may say the tax,eenld not take ef
tbct until after that' thne, but the truth is,
,the tax- bill produce little revenue'for one
year after . it 'goes into operation; and why
was it tb9ught best to suspend its operation
until after thd election? The reason is ob
vious.. There is no - rneans provided-to pay
interest
.on the first, of August next. No
revenue can be raised on the laws te a corn=
mence in October, or after October, to meet
the interest due on the first of\ February next,

A NT I.:MASONRY.
AntimasortrY is a principle, (says the
Newark N. J. Monitor) not to he trifled with
or set at nought; it contemplates the restora
tion of the people's rights, which have been
wantonly usurped by a secret combination,
having secret laws with barbarous penalties
— a combination opposed to the healthful
exercise . of►epublican government, and wag-
Mg an uncompromising warfare against eve
ry thing which interferes with its ambitious
schemes of self-aggrandizement and politi
cal intrigue. Its votaries hove become as
notorious for their deeds of darkness, as'for
their contempt of public opinion. Anti
masonry is opposed to this formidable array
of tyranny and wickedness, and is destined
to remove the evils in morals and govern
inent which masonry has engendered. And
the time is at hand when every one will be
called upon to decide whether he will sub
mit in silence to the doomineering sway of
masonic despotism, or join the standard of
the people and,assisi them in the extirpation
of moaamlnal intolerance from the soil of
freedom.- Wherever light has been diffus
ed, the sentiments of freemen correspond;
and their purposes are concentrating upon
one object--converging to one point. It is
this :• Freemasonry and Antimasonry have
taken the field in mortd combat. One or
the other must fall; if it be the former, our
liberties will endure—on rindependence will
be rendered permanent: . But if the latter be
overcome, the last spark of freedom will be
extinguished—the , gloom of everlasting
night will settle upon the fairest fabric ever
constructed by human wisdom. This is no
vain speculation, no image of the fancy, but
a sober reality, which every day's experi.
once tends to confirm. There is no time
for cavil—no room fir doubt. Who, that
reflects upon the crisis at which we have ar
rived, and the momentous concerns depend
ing upon individual effort, is not filled with
fearfhl apprehensions? Who that values
the blood-boue.ht privileges with which we
are favored, will slumber in indolence while
a monster is laying the axe at the root of
the tree of Liberty ?
The time for political action has fully
come. Our foe is proved, beyond, the sha,..l
dow of a doubt, to be political. Whatever
we might have been, when ignorance upon
this subject was no crime, we are now call
ed upon to act, and to oppow political evils
by political Means. Principles, not men,
must be our motto, and while Jackson and
Clay are equally exceptionable in the most
prominent point to which our attention is di
rected, they are ,both regarded as disquali
fied for the discharge of civil trusts—and it
is preposterous to suppose that any principle
for the maintenance of which they are sup
ported, cannot be as well promoted by free
men; or that any part of our national policy
will suff:r by the rigid enforcement of the
purest principles that ever actuated the hu
man heart. Therais a redeeming spirit in
the land, which will reclaim all temporary
wanderings from the path Of policy and of
duty—but the evils of masonry, if they be
conle-stre-crssfutl-and permanent; -- must Mess ,
ital 4 destroy our liberty beyond the hope
of redemption!
Although impressed with these views, we
would b no means be fitstidious, or subject
oursel es to the censure of upright men,
vli .'e opinions do not correspond with our
o .11; for we are well aware that-there-aro
of a lbw, whose inotives weThave no reason
to suspect of impurity, that call in question
the expediency, if not the propriety, at this
juncture, of opposing masonry through the
ballot-box. With such' we have no desire
to contend, since we are well assured, that
-information, observation and. experience,
will all conspire to dispel the mist by which
they are surrounded, and to direct their.
eyes towards the alarming evils of masonry,
as exhibited in a political point of view.--
New facts are constantly developed; and the
deeper the bloody mystery is penetrated,
its enormity is more clearly perceived. In
formation must, therefore, be still more
widely spread, that the people may see the
deli - trinity of that iniquitous system in its
most glaring colors. ,Mon must See an evil,
or be satisfied that it exists, before thetrop
position is enlisted; and all honest men who
gain an insight into the secret mystery,
will perceive a propriety in refusing their'
. suffrages to its stubborn devotees, and n pe
culiar adaptedness in this unexceptionable'
mode of proceeding, to secure to all their
just rights and priVileges; and to destroy
whatever is in contrariety to republican
government, or dangerous to the liberties o
the people.

"PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN."
MR. Enrron.--I had thoUght that the
settled policy of the American Government
was protection to cur domestic manufac
tures. Experiments already made; have
been so satisii►ctory, and so demonstrative
of the wisdom and necessity of this measure
that, I presumed, no administration wont(
venture to oppose it. In this, however, i
would-4ectn, 1 hale been greatly mistaken
- The present administration has evinced
no' disposition to foster a system which is
vitally connected witb . .the prosper=
ity ot* . our country. A' large majority of the
supporters of President Jacksouls adminis
tration, in both houses or Congress, are de
cidedly opposed to the measures which have
been .advocated and sanctioned by every ad
ministration since the last ar, and to which
Pennsylvania hasitlways strenuously adher,
ed. In the Southern States, he is advoca
ted as the avowed enemy of the Tariff; o
the United States Bank, and the oppressed
Cherokee Indians.
11 then, this be the course pursued by tht
present cabinet—and' who that reads with
an impartial mind, can doubt—for filets are
stubborn - things—is it not time for Pennsyl
vania to
_pause and contemplate the crUis,
before the fatal step be wade Will our
great state support men or measures ? W ill
she giva countenance and aid to an adiniuis
tration,' the.polucy of latch, if successful,
Must cause her manufactories to stop, her
forges and furnaces to he suspended, unii
which, therefire, must, ultimately, deprive
her farmers of a home market fur their pro-
duce?
I am unwilling to believe that President
Jackson entertains any other, political sen
timents than those which he expressed in
the Senate of the Linitod States, when he
supported a Tariff, Internal Improvements
and other-republican inete,ures. I sincere
ly feel, and trust I shall ever retain senti
ments of the liveliest gratitude and respect
Tor the defender of tny country's riglit—tlie
victor of New Orleans. Nevertheless, it
circumstances render it expedient for hint
to advocate doctrines, which, conscientious
ly, in my opining]; aro to Operate injuriously
to the best interests of my country, 1, for
one, will support measures not men.
To those who have observed the course
ofevents at Washington during the last two
years, there has appeared something dark
and mysterious. But time_has.;at- la 4, half
disclosed that mystery. Alr. Vau Buren,
Secretary of State, has-been pliying n ilqep
, ratne to supplant Mr. Calhoun, tuat,to , glain'
the South to his interest. To this sapicut
Sect etary,. snore than to President Jackson,
are we indebted for that change of policy
which is so directly hostile to the prosperity
of Pennsylvania. Although the-cetenzonivs
of a formal nomination have been pe f;')rme . d
for him, by the combined federal and ma •
sonic members oc k the Legislatures of this
State, New YorloOld Ohio, still [ cannot
believe that General Jackson, in reality,
will be a candidate for re-election to the
Presidential chair. Of the inconsistency
which an acquiescence in these proceedings
would, necessarily, imply, I ciumot think
him guilty. Ile h❑s repeatedly, and offi
cially too, declared opinions which prove a
contrary intention; and, is he not rigid in
his adherence to truth, candor, and manli=
!less? It is true, indeed, we may - all be de
ceived; but if Andrew Jackson, he the same
in-1832 that he was in lils—iflie.rotains
n the cabinet, the same noble, honest and
patriotic spirit, that actuated 'him in the
camp, he will not tbrego his word—he will
not be a candidate for re-election. Whilst
1 entertain this opinion of the man, I cannot
but fe?l assured, that the plain old Soldier,
wilL.prov_e_the_parade,ia his-favor, by the.
pye-bald forces of George Wolf, at Harris
burg, the reckless Regency at Albany, and
the affrighted retainers at Columbus, were
mock shows to delude the public mind,--a
mere prelude to the incantations of the High
Priest - of political intrigue, Martin Van
Buren. Office holders, and hungry expec
tants, of place,
.feign the belief that he is,
again before the people; but they are false
prophets—the farmers, mechanics and man
ufacturers of Pennsylvania wilLnot believe
them. On the, contrary, have they not
much reason to regard the whole afihir as
an incipient eflbrt to organize "the party,"
by the magic influence of Gen. Jar.kson's
name, for the ele‘ration of Mr. Van Buren
:in his stead? The South is now held, y
him in fancied security, and when his min
ions shall have generally made favourable
reports; the mask _Will drop, and Secretary
Van Bureti.Stand.jia the place of AhdreW
letkson, as irmaiirlidatefor the Presidency,
where he amid practice with wider scope
and with less controLon those principles.
which he now suggests and advocates. Un
der these

enquire what would be the, proper cause for
the pedple of this state ? Shall we set ,With
our arms folded, while the insidtious fOe is
undetermining that noble edifice of Nation

“RIGHT OR WRONG.”
From the Onundag,o Republican.
While certain freemasons and their jacks,
deny tho corrupt and dangeroits influence of
lieemasonry in protecting Pons from tho
rigor of the law, and by which the guilty
escape punishment, we arc authorisedto say,
that in a constable, and then or since
deputy sherd', obtained a warrant to search
or a stolen watch. The constable and thief
were mason 3. Tho con table on his way for
the watch, said to (.116 he supposed to be a
mason: "Now, Gardiner is a mason ; we -
must not find the watch." It was not found!
The thief conscious of security, and Ice:ing ,
safe in the protection of 'masonic power, im
pudently demanded satisfaction of the own
er of the watch, and threatened a suit fLr
slander, mileSs satisfaction was made. The
thief sold the \ ehat a distance. Chance,
however, brought it into the neighborhood,
where , it was tecogniied, and the th6if sen
teaced to,sixty - daysimprisonmont, during
Which time . he acknowledged the watch-
in the room when his brother mason, the
