Masons contend for the privilege of writing and publishing their opinions on every subject under Heaven, against Maionry demurs; they claim the privi lege of examining and participating in all the measures and policies of State and Nation, which Masonry assumes to herself; they claim the right to investigate and inquire into the princi pies and objects of "all associations and combina tions under whatever plausible pretext,"_.whteh_ is-. 14 t and honorable" Order most special ly prohibits ; they contend 'for the unqualified freedom of the Press, which Masonry shackles and renders mum; they fight for liberty and life, which the delegated authorities of the Order hits violently usurped; and last thouglifirst, they contend fir the purity of the ermine, the sacred desk, and altar, which Masonry pollutes; in short Anti-Masonry contends for EQUAL PRIVI LEGES TO ALL MANKIND. PROSCRIPTION! PERSECUTION!! Anti-Ma - sonic proscriptien — and persecution, (says the West-Chester Register,) is the burthen of the song with the defenders of Free-Masonry. Instead of turning upon their accusers and refu ting by fair argument, the charges which are made against them, these "sons of light" content themselves with piteous appeals to the public to preserve them from Anti-Masonic proscription and persecution. It may bo proper to inquire wheth er, any grounds really exist for their reiterated complaints; or whether those by whom they are made are not conscious of their non-existence, and only prefer them to obtain if possible the sym. pathies of the people in their behalf. If masons can succeed by a species of stratagem to enlist the public pity in their favor, they will accom plish their ends by a much easier process, than any, other which could be devised by the _most intelligent of the craft. They cannot resort to' the ordinary modes pursued by other assoeliiiioner for in their efforts to defend the institution' . byy , fair argument it would be' incumbent on them, -to-expose--the---principles of their - order, whiz would at oncelaiAn acknowledgement of the of the charges arc alleged agaiiii tr _Anti: Masons. entartain-att-ttpinion -of-Mesertry whicb forbids their silence on_ the subject, and they are constrained by a sense of thity to avow their disapprobrition of it, and to act in conformi ty with such avowal. If they are wrong in their estimation of the Masonic institution, and are erring through ignorance; if in opposing the or der, its votariershould come in for a share of,the odiuth which is, cast upon it; if Masons feel ag grieved, because their opponee*,(in exercising the privileges of discarding their names from the ballot-boxes) act from erroneous impressions, why do they,not by a fair, honorable, and honest ex position of the prineipleii of the craft, and as a literal revelation o'cltsir oaths and obligations, disprove (as they noel - Way deny) that there is anything either Morally or politically wrong in Masonry. If they conceive themselves injured, permeated, and proscribed, why do they ibt take the proper methoCif innocent,) to remove the ceases which produce such effects. Until they comply with those requisitions they have so right to complain. For as the institution now stands before the world, stripped of its gaudy plumage, with its ill-favored features" Brining forth in hide.' one `deformity, rotten in its constitution, and blasted in eharacter, holding forth inducements like a superanuatedcourtesan only to be rejecter) with loathing and disgust; it will be viewediaa corresponding light with its apparent demerits, and does, most assuredly .deserve all it now receives.

Among thege publications, "Bernard's Light on Masonry," holds a conspicuous place. The/fnembers of the masonic fraternity vein. to be numerous in every part of the U. 'States: belonging to every class in society whether civil or religious, and some of the highest standing. As to the civil, or polit ical character" of the institution, we deem it not necessary, at present, to make any remarks; but as to the religious nature and pretensions-of this mysterious associatton, as far as revealed, we think it demands the attention of the Synod. The. Masonic SOciety professes to find its foundation. in the sacred volume—to have an intimate relation with Solomon's Temple; and to beta religious fra ternity—a household faith—a band of mys tic brethren. Examining it in this light, we find the religion of the Association to be a m ixtti of - of - Mohdni with the corruptions of Judaism and Christi anity; for many professed Christians, many Papists, Jews, and even Gentiles; are found in its communion. We also find, that it per verts. the meaning and use of the Bible, is full ofmaines Of blasphemy, and' administers ille gal, profane, - and horrible oaths. We are decidedly of.the opinion, that no true Chris tian can, consistently with his profession, .be a free and accepted mason—and that the ministersand members of our true Reformed Dutch Church can have no fellowship with this-fraterni Your committee"therefore propose, 1. That no one be received into the com munion -of Any of our, Churches, who may have .helonged to the Masonic Fraternity, unless he tz aniio, matinee all farther con nexion therewith. 2. That any Member, Deacon, Elder, Student, Candidate, or Minister of our True Reformed Dutch Church, known to belong to the above Fraternity, be immediately dealt with as proper subjects of discipline, and, unless they fully and heartily renounce all fellowship with the Masonic Society be forthwith suspended from all fellowship with the True Reformed Dutch Church. C. T. DENIAIiEST, .1. G. BRINKERHOFF. • MASONIC MURDER. We have just received a letter from Ala bama, detailing one of the grossest outrages that has ever disgraced the country. Al though bearing all the - marks of authentici ty, the transactions are too shocking for be lief. We give place to the account, but must at the same time wish for further con firmation of the statement, before ,we can place confidence in it. We scarcely can be lieve that men would be so infatuated, so blind to their own destruction. If it be true, however, and if such flagrant acts as this, . does not seal-the fate of Masonry—if' it does not caiise every man in this country to rise up and crush this hell -born order there. is then no mare virti - in the people. The particulars, which are as follows; are given by an eye-witness, to the transactions? -Two-gentlemen, named-ROBERTIL-LIV JNGSTON;and_ISA, _CR,._THACKARA, -were appointed AI (*els of the general e lection in Auta county. Tliey were an timasons and t e antiinastnic party we're a- bout 4w-ugly the day, when the masons / swore' that every one ofthe few antimasonii, who yet remained on the ground should be slain .. with knife or club.. They itnmediate ly commenced' heir stack, and succeeded in murdering Messrs. Livingston & Thilq,ki ~ I am, mangling their bodies too, in the most shocking manner.,. Aboirt 10 o'clock, a *number of the antimasons collected and re turned to the scene of outrage to take the murderers. Before, however they got back the murderers were furnished with horses and money, and the . three actually. .engaged - in the murder were lty their companions .. guarded. to a ,place of safety. These indi viduals were. W. llicKinzie, Carter B. Conndr . and chariah Corewill. The o. thers of the masonic gang who inter&rred to prevent the. rescue of the victims, by the antimasons, ,were - Abram Sewell, Harman Green, William Casey, John Brindrige, John Young,.Wm. Mitchell; Wm. J. Clarke, - John . J. Clarke, and - several oilers whose names are' nit recollected. ' -i'hus r if-the above-be true, have we-anew and alarming instance of the vindictive spir it and bloody deeds of masonry. We see in this example that it ienot only political, but that it will trample on the laws of God and, man to compass its ends. We see too; the tragedy of Morgan,'re-acted, the lavvless vil lians protected,- and- their escapq fiiailitated by masonry : - How long' will 'the i lieople slumber in imaginary securit, lon,g Will they remain blind -to the dangers that. surround them.

Theft& lowing preamble and resolutions were a dopted by the Lodge= theoceasiont Whereas Masonry in its principles and purity is an institution of Benevolence and Charity, and ought to be cherished and sus tained only so long as it is beneficial to so ciety by conducing to -these elevated, 'and' benignant purposes—and whereas the them. tiers of this Lodge are reluctantly convinced that from a combination - of- extraordinary circumstances, the period has arrived whets it no longer subservcs these beneficial ob.' jects, but its mere existence is made the oe , casion of angry excitemenfand anmeritet} obloquy; and it is believed theta surrender of its charter will involve no dereliction or moral or masonic principles, but on the . contrary- is enjoined by both, as the means; of preventing discord and contention, and oir promoting the true objects and paiumount design of the institution, the peace, harmony and hnppiness—of-the-whole.community . Therefore Resolved, That the Secretary of Kenne , bec Lodge be and he 'herb l is authorized -- and instructed, in the name of fhe Lodge, to surrender its charter unconditionally,to , the Grand Lodge of Maine, at its next guard' terly communication, to be held on•Thius , day the 21st of July instant. • RENUNCIATION. • '.
