UM " Virtue,. Liberty, and Independence." SECEDING NIA - SON S, DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. ADOPTED AT LE ROY, JULY 4,,18218. When men attempt to dissolve a system which has influenced and governed a part oicommunity,.and by its pretensions to an- "%WV, use u ness, an vir ue, wen — 7,7 mand the respect of all, it is proper to sub s mit to the consideration of a candid and impartial world, the causes which impel them to such a course. We, seceders from the' Masonic institution, availing ourselves dour natural and unalienable rights, and the pilvileges guaranteed to us by our con stitution freely to discuss the principles of our government and laws, and to expose whatever may endanger the one or impede the due administration of the other, do ()tier the following reasons endeavoring to abolish the order of Freemasonry, and destroy_ its influence in our government. In arbitrary governments free inquiry has been restricted as fatal to the principles upon which they were-based. In all ages of the.world tyrants have found it necessary to shackle the minds of their subjects, to enable them to control their actions; for ex perience ever taught that the free mind ev er exerts a moral power that resists all at tempts--to 'enslave it. However forms - of government heretofore - have varied, the . right to act and speak without a controlling • , -airnis - never bet3n permitted. / Our an-, testors who imbibed principles of ci'il and religious liberty, fled to America to escape persecution; and when Britain attempted to encroach _upon the free exercise of those • • principles, our fathers hesitated not -to dis." solve their oaths of allegiance to the mother', country, and declare themselves free and, independent; and exulting millions of free.' men yet bless their memories for the deed. -4 new theory of government was .:reduced to practice in the formation of the American' republic. It involved in its structure prin ciples .of . equal rights and equal privilegesj and was based eln the eternal - foundation of - $ lre.. .. - .: :•• ..lc i the powerfUl, and extends its honors it _. emoluments to the meritorious 'cti"Atery condition. It should have been the pride of every citizen to preserve this noble struc iiit-iiiiill ita beetitiful - synimetry and - pro. *dons. But the principle of self aggran dizement—the desire to control the desti nies of others, and luxuriate in their spoils, unhappily still . inhabits the' human breast. OttnY attempts-have already been made to impair the freedom of our institution and subvert our government. ' But they have been met by the irresistible power , of public opinion and indignation, and crushed. In the mean time the Masonic society has been silently growing among -Anti whose principles and operations are calculated to subvert and destroy the great and important principles of the commonwealth. Before and during tote revolutionary struggle,- Masonry was but little known and practiced in this coun try. It was lost amid the change and con fusion of the conflictiug nations; and was reserved for a time of profound peace, to wind arid _insinuate itself into every depart ment of government, and influence the re sult of almost every proceeding. Like ma ny other attempts to overturn government and destroy the liberties of the people, it has_chosen_a_ time when the suspicions of men were asleep; and with a noiseless tread, : t • • • . nd-stlence - ofthe night, has increased, its power. Not yet content with its original powers and influence, it has of ;late . .. - received the - aid of foreign and more arditary systems. With this . accuinulation of strength, it arrived at tititt .f,iirmidable crisis when it bid open defiance to the laws of our country in the abduction and murder / of an unoffending citizen, of the republic So wicked was this transaction, so extensive its preparation, and so openly jnstified, that it aroused the energies of an insulted people, whose exertions have opened the hidden re cesses of this abode of darkness and myste - - ry; and mankind may now view its power, its wickedness, and folly. That it is oppo'sed to the genius and de sign of this government, the spirit and pro- , cepts of our- holy. religion and the welfare of •setiety, - generally, will appear from the' . following considerations: It exercises juris- Welion over the persons and lives of citizens of the republic. . .

GENT 4 LTMEN.---When I received last month a letter signed N. ADAMS, and Aa- TEXAS WARD, notifying me that I was elec ted Delegate to your State Convention, I told the bearer of it that I should decline a seat in it, from a consciousness that my prebence would do the cause no good, for that I never could rise up in a large assembly and speak ivith the unembarrassed freedom of conver sation. My declining the last year-has , given rise to,a. report 'industriously propagated that I had changed my sentiments respecting the serious evils of masonry, and that I have turned my back in disgust upon the efforts of the Anti-masons to abolish that danger ous institution. I cannot rest easy that such an opinion should prevail. If any believe me to be changed in my sentiments or weal ened in my zeal - for the total abolition of an a arming institution, wHe is a PA. • - stro - ger than the LAW, and which actually holds the PRESS in claims, he errs grossly. On the contrary,.my fearful apprehensions in crease at every fresh perusal of the Morgan Trials in the State of New York, lest we also in 'ow img an' s iou i wi noes c. i -: , dertnining of the Temple of Justice, and see j men cutting away its pillars. . I consider` the trials for the murder of Williiiin Mei: :_l gan. as-recently reported, a scandal to trials by....iu, y, a disgrace-to the 'Nation, and a' deep reproach to our•boasted constitution of Laws.' The first and most important link of. associations in the human family ikTaurii, and our. masons generally, conspired to de stroy it, not.only secretly in their conclaves,' but openly in courts of justice, as appears" beyond contradiction in the official reports: very lately made to the Governor of N.York. As it regards the possible-nay probable evils of masonry, I consider the people of Massachusetts sleeping in the dark, while nearly all the — Printing PRESSES dare not: rouse them up to a sense of their thraldom. . Shake them and tell them that the inesti mable trial by jury, and the sanctity : of an oath on the stand has been destroyed, and - that , the Temple of the Laws is cracking and tumbling down, and they rulitheir eyes and yawn, and go to Bleep again. Nothing but a political earthquake can rouse such a drowsy. people to a sense of their danger. The deplorable part of their business is, that . the most respectable portion of the, masons are themselves blinded to the evils in pros . pect, because they mean nothing but good . will towards'mtn, even beyond the sworn associates of the fraternity. Others of a diflbrent cast of mind rejoice even to boast ..: ing, that they, belong to a. craft sufficiently , strong to abittruct the legal course of jus tice,.

ASONIC. STAR,' ,AN D REP ÜBLICAN BANNER. I venerate % the PRESS as one of the strongest bulwarks of liberty, but if the conductors of them continue to exolude the free discussion of the conduct of the masons in the abduc tion and murder of Morgan, I dread the consequences to the American family.

PARTY NAMES. The efforts of the masonic party to ap propriate to itself a designation to which it has no manner of claim, is ridiculous in it-, self and only shoWs how strongly the mem bers calculate on the efficacy of the leading principlesof their poIicy—SECRECY and sun. TERFUGE. Every man not wilfully blind or particularly prejudiced, must be convinc ed that all the landmarks of the•old parties have long since been thoroughly broken down, and that the distinguishing features of each, so far as they were traits of oppo sition; have vanished. • There is no question now agitated about which they could con tend on the old grounds; all the matters for merly controverted between them have been finally passed, upon by the people, and put at rest. And despite of the assertions or ex ertionii of an interested few, men mingle on the political arena, and discuss the events of the day,_ without - reference to distinctions which - existed in times - tharave — passed: [knee Witte name of either of these parties be used in the party disputes of the present day, it cannot imply a strict iudentiiv of the party so designated, with that which once bore-a - similar name; and it: the name be as sumed by men whose principles-are. totally variant from those of the party formerly so called,.or utterly inconsistent with the name itself, the assumption is not only absurd, but contemptible. Such is the case, at present of the 'masonic. party, which strives to hide its crowns and mitres, its croziers and cal ques, from public view, under the mantle of DEMOCRACY. How very consistent indeed does it appear, in a party that approves of an order of Grand Kings! 'grand 'High Priests!! Most Excellent Sir Knights !! ! ••• ••••.•:,t • Puissant Sovereigns ►' ► ► Princes of the Royal , Secret !!! !! ! &c. &c. to affect to calitself denweratie or republican! Such a perversion or prostitutipo of language could be thought of or attempted only by profligate intriguers, who blindly imagine that the "arte of wunderwerckynge" has de scended 'upon them —for nothing short of. such folly could play off so palpable a trick. litotocnAcy -is the very reverse of every thing contained in Masonry. It recognizes neither Kings,norcrowns, nor royal secrets; and it utterly abominates and abhors the doctrine of unconditional submission and un limited control, as contained, in Grand Mas ter Randall's letter to the Lancaster Lodge. It contends that all men are born free and equal, entitled to equal rights and privileges and enjoying equal claims to public honors, founde alone on private virtue, intelligence and cap city. Such are the principles of genuine a pure democracy; and such are the principles of A nti-masonry. Hence the Anti-masonic party is organized on grounds essentially democrattc, in the original, si ple, unconnected and unperverted sense of the word. It aims at securing the perma nency of the free institutions of the country in the purity of their origination„ It aims at inculcating and perpetuating an attach- ment to liberty an equa ity, w tc spi • - the Declatlation of Independence. It labors to_disen t h cal the govOrnrnent from thegr4§P and dominion of a despotic„power, that has usurped the direction of its constitutional functions, and warped them from their legi timate ends. Such is Anti-masonry: and as such it is; in all its parts and relations, in strict harmony with pure democracy., The masonic _party, on , the other hand, has.nothing,in color* with Pure democra cy. Its element is concealment; its means are intrigue and trfctil and its object is do minion and authority, avowedly for its "own profit land praise." It has a fondness for parade and show, fig the gaudy trappings and vain distinctions that '"Bulk largely in the filmy eye of Time." It admires lotig drawlingepithets and huge sounding titles— " Most 'higli and mighty, meat magnificent, Most potent, most august, most worshipful, Most"? m i nent—words of great pomp ilial. pleases The oar of vanity, and make the worms • Of earth misAke themselves fir gods.' It • has no confidence in the people; it has no affinity for popular institutions; it has no respect for popular rights. It introdu ces and sanctions anti-republican diAinct ions Of rank; and exacts obli g ations inconsistent with the requirements of public duty, and conflicting with the speedy and impartial execution of law and the due administration of justice. It seeks to control public opinion, to monopolize public office, and to muzzle the public press. In short its principles are utterly. repugnant to everY idea.of a (79,pern meni of the people, and tend pointedly to the subyersiiin of that equality which is oharac teristic of republican 'demobracy. A Ger man author,' friendly to freemasonry, can didly aSmits, when speaking ofsecret socie ties, that,the object\ of, each and all of them that haVe ever existed, hastiesn identically the same,-" Td'obtein potier and donin biihe ;sae of tupesior cunning ard DI N .EPrattlrs;',' to "riontrO -,govern • means of an ARISTOCRACY composed of an enlightened and edticated few." Such is the true purpose of their- institution. Dis guise.it as they may—power is the ohject, and conspirj t cy the means ;I and there is no appellation by which the cabletowed combi nation has yet been designated, that suits it so well, and is in all respects so perfectly appropriate, as that of the "ARISTOCRATIC MASONIC PARTY."--Lancustcr Examiner. ANTI-MASONIC MEETINT3 At Hagerstown, Maryland. At a large and respectable meeting of the Antimasons of Washington county, Mary land, held at the Court i pouse, in Hagers town, on Saturday the 4th of June last, JOHN NcKI?,E, Esq. was chosen President, Frederick Boyers and Ezra Slifer, Secre __ taries. The followino preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, after the meet: mg: had been addressed by T. Stevens, Esq. of Gettysburg, Pa. WII IiREAS, We consider Free Masonry, morally and politically dangerous, since it refuses an investigation of its obligations and ceremonies 7 -destroys republican equality— covers crime, which could not be kept from the public eye, except through the abomina ble oaths, and the charity of Freemasons, which have often covered a multitude of sins. THEREFORE Resolved, That Freemasonry i s a secret, dark, and midnight conclave, whose vota ries have stained their hands withtlood:— may the unavenged blood of the Martyred Morgan excite to persevering inquiry:until their blood' and abetting deeds are fully - made known to our country. _....ilard.ac.d.„,-That—wo,look7:-Avith a jealOus eye, on our Legislators, And Witnesses, and Teachers of the. who are members and tbilowers of Freerna sonry; and have voluntarily separated them selves, under the most shocking penalties, from the rest of mankind. Resolved, That we have frequently to witness with pity apd sorrow the Ministers and Labourers in the Vineyard of Repen tance, who in the face of day teach Light and Knowledge:--:but in secret conclave, guarded by naked sword, bow before the "Mrsrltvitt'r' 4Nlcturry," and worship the "MAN OF SIN." • `Resolved, That we are ready to extend thejight band of fellowship to all those who have walked in this path of iniquity, if they will recant and follow the exam le of the inhabitants at Ephesus, who confessed and made known their secret arts, and burnt their books of darkness. - Resolved, That Masonic oaths are like the oath of Herod to his daughter—to break such an oath harmless—to keep it has been murder. Resolved, That we will strictly adhere to the warning which Gen. Washington gave in his Farewell Address--"to guard a= gaint secret combinations and associations." Resolved, That we invite all good citi zens to unite with us in rooting out all SE CRET SOCIETIES from the face, of our land. JOHN MCKEE, President. MICHAEL TOBY, 'Vice President. FREDERICK BEYERS, Secretaries. EZRA SLIFEI, ST.OIIN'S DAY.----The Masons cele brate this day, as the birth day of John the Baptist. We presume they do this on the around' that St. John was a mason. What is their evidence that he was cable-towed ? Where is the proof that he was a mason? e - NV tiS the _ricain of masonicprin ' :, • admit, and it is evident that masons have got the 'wrong 'day and should celebrate his death, rather than his birth., HEROD, TILE TETRARCH, was a genuine mason. He swore an unlawful - Oath to • Herodias should make'. In other words, he • agreed, to obey all her signs and summon ses, if within the length of his cable-tow, that is within his oath... Herod .had no idea his oath would bind him to commit murder any more than an honest mason has that his oaths will compel him to violate the laws. But Herodias demanded of Herod that h• should commit mui•der,•.and give her the Oaci- oT John -the Baptist in a charger.— IleVed was shocked at the consequences of his - oath:' .It greed riim, that this'erime was required; nevertheless; for his ()ages sake and the sake of those who Were with hitn, he sent and beheaded John in prison., Here, was ientiine masonry. Herod took an illegal oath, without being aware of its consequence, and when call upon to com mit mAder, in pursuance of that oath, he committed the crime, rather than violate his oath. The murderer,s of William Mor gan acted on precisely the same principle. It is clear, therefore, that Herod and not St. John was the mason, and that the birth day of the former, ought to be celebrated by masons, rather than that of the latter. We should like to see as good-evidence that St. John was, a mason, as we have given that Herod was a mason.—Prov. Am: A paragraph is now running the rounds. of the masonic prints,. stating the Antirri: onic Convention which lately assembled at Trenton, New Jersey, had nominated Rich" rd Rush for President, and Samuel L. Southerd for Vice President. This is not so. No such.nomination Was made—nor were these gmtlemen even recommended for nomination as above; Though we should hay(' had no objection... if our New'Jersey friends had. seetifit , to-express an opinion in favour', Orsncli a tiptcp,Mif S. , not a mason. 'We wish,'however, that our mys tic oppone . would,havepatience for three months loner, and: they will then. know who are to 6- ?Okir candidates.--Nis ~ Con. -• • • • AT MOUNT ST. MARY'S COLLEGE. At no period since the establishment of the In stitution at Mount St. Mary's• have the public . had more reason, than at present, to confide in the abilities, devotedness and resources of its Pro fessorti. The writer - of this notice having assist ed tnany previous "exhibitions," when the In stitution was not invostcd by the Legislature with the power of conferring degrees in the arts and Sciences, could not suppress the admiration which he felt, in common with many perhaps equally interested visitors, at the new impulse which this justly accorded privilege has lately given to the exertions ofeits young and ardent Faculty.

The 'pledge which these professions give, has been efficiently redeemed. A new and splendid apparatus of Natural Philosophy, lately procured from Paris, and the luininetis, - precnak and scientific lectures of the gentleman who pre sides at this deoartment of popular seienee have greatly extended the advantages enjoyed by tlic College in former years. The facility and ad dress with . which the interesting candidate fot the first honor of College went through the various experiments in Hydrostatics, Caloric, Pneumatics, and especially in Chemistry, were a source of much interest to a very select and de lighted auratory—end • the elegant oration afier wards delivered by the same young gentleman "on the revival of Letters," gore lucid proof that it was not lime but qualification, not success in one branch of learning only, nor the "~indi um sine divito vena," that entitled him to the dis tinction conferred, after an admonitory address in Latin by the Principal. Few ameig his hear ers could refrain from tears when his affecting valedictory to his Teachers and friends was spo ken, and every School Boy's heart responded to the' prayer, the "semper vivas, floreas," with which he was presented with his Diploma. _ Scarcely inferior_ to _the "Oration .onihe Revi, val of Letters," in bea n ty of style, elegance ei arrangement and accurate knowledge of Histo . ry, Were the discdurses pronounced by Mastei W.

We should - find it difficult to do justice to the. merit of these compositions; but we do hope that the trainer at least, on a subject which ciretnn. stances render peculiarly interesting, will be srairtly submitted - to - the public. - The exquisite Poetry on the fall of' Grenada Will likewise receive its best praise from the sainelribunal, and assert for the Professors and Students of MOunt St. MaTy's Collifge that to literary suPertoritery and excellence which she has" madeso inany;.aed i t is hoped naunpac— ceßsful, etiorto to establish. to c epartmen o the r s surpass°. any thing of the kind we ever witnessed on similar occasions.
