Mr. Miners crocodyk tears about 4proiterip
and his lamentations unheard. Now, how
ever, when the darling iriterestirof masonry
tre at stake, he whines most pitifully about
injustice and want of charity: -
But says- Mr. Miner, the: subject Cl Om•
sonny affords no legitimate grounds for the
formation of a political party opposed to it.
It is perfectly proper that parties should
exist on the subjects of . nullification, inter
.na/ improvement, the U. S.' B a nk, domes&
manufacturet, &c. drc. but the idea of an
Antimasomc party is monstrous! Raise
parties on 'any subject but holy cut-throat
masFinry. That must not be touched. It
is 'tam sacred to be, en spoken of by the
unenlightened. The origin of Antimasonry
is too huinble, the interests at stake are of
too little consequences, says this masonic
dignitary to justify,,,the formation of a politi
cal party!—So think not the people.
Mr. Miner remarkiNthat the question
which divided parties previous to the revo
lution, was strati British aggression be re
sisted orsubmitted to? We would add the
question now *and it is second only. to
that quoted, shall masonic aggression be
restated or submitted to? Shall we bow to
her usurped dominion and yield ourselves
willing skives to her power, or shall we re
sist like freeman? This momentuous ques
tion is of too little importance to merit a
thought from Mr. Miner. The abolition
of a secret order that has proved itself the
foe of our laws and rights, weighs not a
feather when put in the scale against the
question, shall the United States dig this
canal or - make that railway. --The preser
vation of our liberties against the murder
ous
,principles and acts of masonry, compar
ed to which all other subjects on which par
ties may now divide are insignificant, is in
the estimation of Mr. Miner of infinitely
less importance than - the question shall !tve
raise all our own sheep or shall England
raise a few for us. To expose further the
absurdity and sophistry of this position
would be useless.
But we are further tauntingly , told that
Antimasons have no principles on national
policy, or are altogether divided and un
te-tmd.74%-c-MihTlytriumphifftti y - a - "are
the antimasons united in respect to the poli
cy that ought to be pursued to sustain the
national faith pledged to the Indians!' In
reply, we ask Mr. Miner whether the ma
sonic party ifunited on this question?' Do
the sentiments of President Jackson and
Mr. Clay coincide Do the views of Mr.
Miner and Mr. Buchanan, of this city, cor
respond. Are the views- of the prominent
tnemberslof the masonic party in the north
ern, the middle and the southern states the
same! Until - Mr. Miner answers•this ques
tion in the affirmative we think he should
refrain from reproaching us with want of
unity on the subject, even if it did exist.—
Again, is the antimasonic party united in
respect to a national system of Internal Ink
provementl asks MT. -Miner. We would
again reply to this interrogatory by putting
another—is the masonic party united on
this question? Let the leaders of that par
ty in the North and the South. answer.—
Mr. Miner knows their sentiments tcobe as
opposite as day and night. Axe we'united
with respect to the Tariffl we air fitrther
interrogated. Is the masonic party unani
mous? Let the same leaders of that party,
answer. Let the,. Anti.tari je masonic con
vention to be held in Philadelphia speak.
Are we 'united in favor of rechartering the .
U. S. Bank: , continues Mr. Miner. Let
him put the same question to the masonic
party. When they clear their skirt of a
-d eject; -it=will
be time to make this inquiry of Antithasons.
When that period arrives Mrs Miner will
tt that-mither_this nor-any other.topit_ot_
general interest has been overlooked—that
antimasoni. have principles on national poli
cy, but that thew principles are at tbe pre
sent,,time of secondary importance to the
preservation of the nation itself, from the
destructive grasp of an unhallowed combi
nation. They are but secondary to the
great question, shall we submit to masonic
aggressionand dominion or shall we resist. .
Mr. Miner boldly affirms that the "Anti
nxisonteqtastioti will - be absorbed in a year
or twoilt most." , If we 'recollect aught,
he made the same prediction in an equally
confident tone more, than two years ago.,
But contrary to his wishesand expectations
antimasoirry still lives. Its healthful iofiu
ence is spretidiw' throughout the union, mid
instead of being. "absorbed" will eventually
drive-the Hydra Headed monster masonry,
from. the land.- The ahtimasonic-cause is

The argument which 31r. Miner attempts
to draw against antimasonry and in favor of
masonry, 'from the butcheries among differ
ent religious sects, has become too stale for .
effect. Our surprise is that so intelligent a
man as'Mr. M. should use it - . It is ground
ed upon the absurd and exploded boast of the
heaven descended character of masonry.
The attempt to compare the pure doctrines
ofchristianity to the hell-born doctrines of the
lodge, is blasphemous and wicked. The ef-
Tortlojustify - the - deliberate crimes of the
planned in the midst of revelry, within
.the polluted walls of a tyled lodge, and exe
cuted according to , its principles, to the half
unconscious deeds of fiery bigots„ hurried a

spirit of which their misguided judgments
could not comprehend: is monstrous & shock.
ing to the feelings of every Christian.. Our
astonishment is, that any man should be so
reckless as to talk in such a strain. Yet
strange as it may seem, this has been the
.constantresort whenever the crimes of ma
sonry have been urgeirealin imperious rea
son for destroying the Institution. "Youwill
nottondemn, say they, "christianity and all
christians, because of the blood that has been
shed by its professors in contending for their
peculiar-creeds"---end-you certainly-will not
condemn- masonry and all masons for the
crimes ofafinv,although these crimes are the
natural result of its principles and are adopt
ed by the society. Fanatics have cut each
others throats; therefere masonry has a right
to erect a separate government,swear her
subjects to unconditional submiskon, and, if
they rebel,why because Christians have killed
each. other, masonty must in imitation, cut
the throats of its seceding subjects. So
much:for charitable masonry,holy masonry,
'heatierrbern masonry.
Aually absurd,. too is the argument
w . b' Mr. M. attempts to draw in justifies
lion, of the secrecy of masonry„from the fact
thatlminks, -mibinet-counciis, command
armies,4le. do not forthwith publish to the
`work' heir doings—as if there was any
• -tween_the . salutary_ and often
.necessary silence of private individuals—or
of persons trusted with the concerns og a
nation, and the-'secrecy or the lodge which
is eternal, or - can-only be revealed,at the risk
of life- .„ At , genital ofan army ckies not tell
his enemy that he is going to attack him at
midnight,. therefore it is "persecution" to
complain that masonic secrets have murder
ed a citizen and defied the laws. More ma.'
tonic sophistry and arrogance..
The.next pint in Mr. M's ten columns
.that deserves a passing notice, ishis asseve
ration that masonry is not political. Let
BENJAMIN RUSSELL,grand master of
the grand Lodge of Mass. speak. In-hie

No--:-so far from masonry disavoiving the
crime and aiding th'e Minister& of justice in
~ : , Viefie-g- the culpritii the-institetion-has
adopted the act as its own.. The criminals
have been retained as worthy members of
the lodge. They have been shielded and
protected with a 'power' - which lute baffled
the . law:, and exertions of a great state to
punish. them. Money has been furnished
for counsel by the lodge, witnesses have
been "spirited" away, others have refused
to give testimony because they would vio-
late their masonic oath—Jurors have failed
to convict upon evidence which none but
masons trying the case,
of a brother mason
would dare to disregard a feeling •of,sym.
pathy deep and universal, for the guilty has
been, expressed by the fraternity. W here;
therefore, is the injustice of holding the hi
stitsottem accountable for the. crimes of its
members, I.lr hen those crimes are coiiunitted
in accordance with its known principles and
sanctioned by its oath bound subjects.--
There can be.none. The order is both in
a legal and moral point of view, guilty, and - 1
such as sanction its principles are implica
ted
in its guilt. These are acts and infer
ences which Mr. Miner Could not deny, but
cunningly give them the "go hy," pi °testing
'that he did not assistat,orcounsel the murder
of 14korgati. He will not boldly deny that
the obligations of masonry as disclosed to
the public, ftrp notauthentic, and that Mor
gan was murdered inconformity with them,
but this is the inlbrence he would like to
see drawn. He is not'eo reckless as to deny
what every body 'knows robe true, when he
can see that he would hot beo'crdited—es
pecially when be thinks he can much more
effectually serve the handmaid I:T4lk:wet:a

havAk,wen that the fact, if it be one that
hduces to disprove this charge is not
()
applicable to the case. Such petty ices as
co'ty cominissioner,the craft have not sought
after. They aim aehigher stations, leaving
such insignificant posts to the people.
-In his defence of the Masome'Press a
gainst the severe but _ just censure of Mr.
Rush, Ms. Miner is as unfortunate as on o.
ther topics. Say what he will,masenry has
muzzled the press—placed a tyler over eve
ry column that successfully excludes truth
and light on this subject, although the gros
sest calumnies agaiust the opponents of ma
sonry 'find ready 'admission.
Zile piece of Egotism with which Mr. M.
concludes in enumerating the highly impor
tant services he has rendered the country,.
may be pardoned, when it is known that the
object is a generous one, to draw off' atten
tion from masonry and fix it upon himself.
To make his "private grief" instead of the
crimes of masonry the subject of controver
sy. In this he will fail.
Many other points in Mr. M's "reasoning
appeal" as he terms it, might be exposed
and their absurdity made manifest. Bit
we have bestowed much more room oa it
than we at first intended. We do not hesi l
-
tate to say, that it is the most consummate
piece of sophistry and disengeniousness that
msuld_he_produced so.many. columns,, It
may be considered, the last desperate kick
of an ardent mason,—the list chapter ,of

Frorr;'the Washington Telegraph.
REMARK.-:-The Globe is the acknowl
edged favorite of theadministration. So far
as the countenance and support of the Ex
ecutive can give it character, it has it to the
full. But will none of those who approach
the President, and who respect his character
admonish him of the great injury which the
prevarications - and - falsehoods of - his orgiittin
flict upon, him. That veracious print at: ,
tempts to assert that the statement that Mr.
Crawford was about to make a publication,
'his final reply"`to Mr. Calhoun, originated
"in two prints in this city." Now the fact
is, that, some weeks ago the CoNsTrrirrioN
ALlST, a Crawford, Georgia paper, publish.
e& as we believe 'in the neighborhood of
Mr. Cntwford's residence, asserted.that Mr..
Crawford's 'final reply!' to Mr.- Calhoun
would appear in the Globe in.a. feai days.--
This statement was reiterated by the Rich
mond Enquirer, and had appeared in most,
of the Southern daily papers before it was
noticed in either of the two prints in this ci
ty, which so much annoy those who establish
ed the Globe.
--- The editor of the Globe so fond-of his as--
sociation with great men, asserts that "Mr.
Crawford has neither directly nor indirectly
transmitted any thing to the editor for pub
lication." Does this prove' that. Mr. Craw
ford did not directly transmit a "final reply"
to some one else, to be handed over to the
editor? But, says the editor, we never had
any correspondence with. Mr. Crawford in
relation to his controversy with Mr. Calhoun!!
Wonderful What! does not Mr. Crawford
consider Mr. F. P. Blair, once the confiden
tial went and friend of Mr. Clay, the facto
tum who made' "the bargain," and now, as
then, the associate of Amos Kendall, worthy
of his confidence? What! does not Mr.
Crawford col seartnurwith-Mr-..Blairitheer
gan of the administration ! ! Certainly this
proves that Mr, Crawford has correspon
&tit at __Washkigtorail_Forwho can- be
hove that, if a .-"final reply" had been. sent
to Washington, Mx. Crawford would have
sent it to any one else than the editor!!! I
Now, for our part, we can very readily
believe that Mr. Crawford did not send. his
"final reply" to.the editor and yet also be
lieve that it was sent, td some other person
(one high in office) to be handed - over Gar
publication in the. Globe.. We do believe
that it was so sent ; and that its Publication- 1
has been suPpressed for. reasons whichwill
hereafter appear, and ..which, when they
appear;, will east a moral' blot upon the rep. I

can also believe that for the same reasons
which Caused its publication to. be surpre.ss

:some ntlier print as the vehicle of his cow
munie.ation.o- the public: Nor shall we be
surprised if the facts which caused its sup
