MASONRY AND THE PRESS.-MOSt of the
presses in the Masonic interest have been
severe. upon Mr. Rush for the Merited • re
buke given to the American press, in his
letter on Masonry. In replyto one of these'
expressions of censure, Mr- John Gest, of
the city of philadelphia, states, in a commu
rkation in the Philadelphia Inquirer, that,
in June, 1828, he received a letter from a
person in Rochester, containing an adver
tisement of Antitnasonic Almanacs, and_re,
l questing Mr. Geat to procure its insertion
lin a Philadelphia paper. At that time he
was a subscriber and advertiser to Poulson's
Daily Advertiser, and he first presented the
advertisement with the pay ~ to Mr. Poulson,
who said "he would not publish it for any
consideration—that he would not publish .
any thee Freenmsons would not
approve,' , Mr. G. siva* he then saw the .

sons of men. Above all, masonry is suCef'
place, in the United States: It is a hideoui
exotic. It isforeign in its original concep
tion, and in all its present habit. Its corn

complication and concealments-are -not- A - - '
tuerican, --nor its ceremonial, nor any part
of its hyperbolical nomenclature. An-at
inosphere of political freedom and opermess,
is not its element. It has nothing fairly to
do here, and as its spirit_is
doing mischief. • The wonder is, that it
should - have existed as long as it has done
under institutions so totally opposite in ge
nius, to its entire creed and operations. It
is too exclusive, too demanding, too intense
in its -sympathies within its own orbit, to
have favor with h people jealous of all move
ments apart from their own body, where no
oaths tie down, - no mysteries darken the path .
of conduct. It has escaped the hand of A
merican reform chiefly because, to the bulk
of the people, it has remained unknown; but
now that a sturpendais Crime against Society's
committed through masonry, dud remaining
unpunished through masonry, has inexorably
fastened public scrutiny upon the Institution,
its numberless other incongruities with our
system, political and social , - are driven one
after another from their lurking places, and
the_ glory of its overthrow it is hoped, will be
added to the many other victories of Ameri
