To the President of the Anti-Masonic

' The central CoMmittee appointed by flio

to the late trials of the Morgan Congpiralors
at Lockport, in the State of New York, the
comi hi tteo roldresse — fra •-let ter, to a moniker
of 00: ceutral Committee of that state, re
questing a fall statement of those trials,
with other information, which they consid
ered important to the cause •&tintimasonry.
We haVe accordingly received reports of
the traqs of -Elisha Adams ofGeneral
Whitney and others—and of Stivitd. mid
Maxwell; and also the report of the Special
counsel, Victory Birdscye Esq. to his Ex
cellency Governor Throrp. From this re
port it appears, that no doubt any longer
exists, as to the ultimate fate of Morgan—
that he was takeninto•the Niagara River,
in the night, about the 19th of September
1:426, and there sunk; but that there is no
ground to believe, from any information
tion which has come to the knowledge of
th, counsel, that there_ is new (dire, and
.aithin the jurisdiction of the United Slates,
-arlie except Elislia Adams, who was
present at his death, and as to Adams such
belief may possibly be eroneous.
The committee will refer to one fact pro
ven on the trial of Shepard and Maxwell, by
the testimony of General Barlow and Judge
Mitchell, as forcibly demonstrating'the cor
rupting influence of Masonry upon the minds
of its subjects; viz: that the forcible abduc
tion of Morgan, in order to effect the sup
pression of his Book, was connived at, if
not directly approved of, by a minister of
the gospel, Lucius Smith of Batavia, the
town in which Morgan was then residing—
and that this occurrence happened in a
Royal arch chapter held in that place, from
which, in conformity with masonic law, all
of the brethren were studiously excluded,
eicep_t_those,_bound byllit__obligation of
that degree. The same testimony also es
tablishes the filet, that this nefarious Out
rage was deliberated upon, in at least two
Royal arch chapters in the western part of
New York, viz: those of- Batavia and Ro
chester, and at least ono month before its
execution.
At none of the previous Lockport trials,
have the disclosures with respect to Mew--
gan's abduction been so fully made under
the sanction of judicial evidence, as on
those, reports of which'we herewiih submit
to 'the Convention, wo are informed, that
the Fraternity had prepared for these trials
with much care and vigilance; that almost
all of the witnesses, whO were intimately
acquainted with the transaction, had taken
occasion to .be absent—James L. Barton
had gone to Oluo—Jeremiah Brown was
not to be foumr—EZekiel Jewett, it was un
-derstood, had visited Canada; and others
whom it was suspected, would be sul ram
, -
ied by the public prosecutor, were ascer
tained to tie beyond the reach of the process
of the Court—and that the attendance of
Shed,' and the admission of Giddins testi
mony, were eitegostA,_,. ef,•••••.3- _ _ .
trials as,ei ideneing the extent and termina
tion __of the conspiracy, and the sacrifices
which the Fraternity were willing to make,
in order to conceal all knowledge of this
flagrant outrage from the public, are as we
conceive, of great importance, and we would
suggest the propriety of their publication in
pamphlet form, as being in that shape more
likely to be preserved, and productive of
mere extensive benefit, than if confirxd to
publication in newspapers.
We have also received, and herewith
submit to the Convention, a full report of a
recent trial, at the town of Now Berlin, in
the county of Chenango, in the same state,
in which a number of the obligations and
ceremonies of the. Royal arch degree, were
judicially established, on the testimony of
respectable witnesses, one of whom was the
Sherifrof that county, and another a Justice
of the Peace.. The proceedings of this last
trial; the courrnittee-c - onsidertesTeeninrrk
worthy of careful consideration, and ofgen
eral dissemination. • -
We also—requested,- othe same gentle
man, information as to the description of the
'persons, 'known to have been concerned' in
the Morgan outrage. This we desired, for
i the purpose of--removing from the - public
mind, the impression which is unceasingly
inculcated by the Fraternity, that • these
conspirators were men of low condition in
Society, and. that, therefore, the masonic
Institution, is not lairly accountable for their
-acts, This. information, we regret that we
have not been enabled to procure; but we
are assiired, that being, considered an
portant suliject, it will be prepared for sub
mission td-the National Convention,
-As somewhat -pertinent to the occasion,
permit us to 'remark, that the operations pi
our party,diave not been conducted with
that degree of prudence,' which is proper
.and which is necessary to eventual success.
In our nomination of Candidates, too much I
confidence has been reposed in common
report. Men haVe been nominated, in the
belief that they
_were not masons, but with
'.l;iut certainly knowing whether they Were
so or not; -and in one instance it happened,
that through want of knowledge, an adher
ing mason was placed upon our ticket. It
must - be recollected, that, as a party, we
are yet in our iufanay—that every step l we
take, is watched with the Closest ikrutiny,
and that, in order to triumph eventually, it
is necessary not only to be heneSt. in our
'iew's, but to appear so, to the public—and,
that indiscretions conniiittlid, in onepurt of
the State,- redound to the prejudice of the
party in every other—and if prudenee and
