• iatfea.luiattao Origin - of Anti-Masidnry. , From the. Lsrpga Countryman.- - On the 11th of Septembei, 1826, a free,- -------into was; stolen; and on the Leth ofthe same month and year he was assassinated. - Cer= tain private citizens, suspectingthese crimes and seeing no officers of government engag ed to discover and convict the criminals, felt themselves compelled, by the common sympathies of humanity,. to_ enquire into - them. They discovered who the criminals were ; and gave suCh information as produc ed the indictment and prosecution of some of them. A few were convicted, but none of the most guilty. The criminals were nll -- Fieerriesons. — The kieman was stolen and murdered by them, for revealing the secrete of Freemasonry . These secrets consist of ingenious contrivances to obtain unjust ad vantages ever all who are not members of the fraternity, and of guilty oaths binding masons, Oil the penalty ofdeatli;icithe strict and universal application of them, for the benefit of the initiated. The .reveration of them,was therefore, a secret duty. It was' an act of disinterested and bold philanthro= py ; and is destined to become a subject of universal and lasting admiration. It was in .. tendiol to save the honest, ingenious and li beral. minded men of the community, from the secret frauds, - pecuniary, political, and 'social, of actives ambitious, profligate, and sordid mil. The thieves and assassins were men of high standing in the com munity. All of them who are not dead, though now sunk to the level of other • felons,' in the eye of the community, retain _=their high standing with the fraternity, of whom some hundreds know them and all the --circumstances -of- their guilt. But _these knowing ones refuse to disclose their.names, .or any of those circumstances. Rather than do this, some evade their duties as judges, sherifli:and public prosecutors ; others per jure themselves, on petit juries, on grand ju nes, as witnesses, and otherwise. And as all the personal knowledge, as well as per sonal guilt, in these .most heinous deeds, is _ confingel_by means which the institutionfur althea, in express reference to such cases- to Freemasons, the truth cannot lie judicially nor the ascertain punishesk The whole value of governtneht is slim med u . in the ca.acit to make just laWs, and to apply them to the conduct of life.— And that branch oflaw, which relates to the definition, proof and punishment of crimes is more interesting than any other, in the same ratio, that the rights of liberty and life are more valuable than any other rights. So inestimable are these rights dfleseed, that the preservation 'of them is the first concern of giivernment, which must necessarily soon dissolve when it can no longer preserve them. But the customary means by which governarqt,Rrts9rves the liberty and life of those wliom it has in charge, are the admira tion, by its courts of justice, of the laws, which it enacts to prevent invasions of them. When the flagrant invasion of liberty and life were committed, we had courts of ius tice, withal! their officers properly empow ered to expose and punish them. And these officers were paid by the public; and sworn with integrity and zeal, to aid in the execu tioti-of the laws. They neglected to per form their duties.
