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 ,

-to-expose--the---principles of their - order, whiz

erring through ignorance; if in opposing the or

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

The Committee on the subject f Free
masonry ask leave to report--
Your Committee are awjiie, that the Ma
sonic Institutions and PTitSciples have lately
attracted much pUblieattention in this coun
try; several .pamphlets and books on the
subject, have by,en published, professing to
reveal the nature and tendency of its secrets.
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.

• 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

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

KENNEBEC Lonus.—S,urrender, ,of 'ii*
Charter.—At the qoarterlY meeting of t the
Grand Lodge of Maine, held in Porthuid
July 21, the Kennebec Lodge of Hallo Well
surrendered its masonic - charter. 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'

RENUNCIATION. • '.
A late number of the Bostim__ Chriatialt-

' 4 of freemasonry by_the Rev. Mr. - Stones.
"Mn. Eurrou: Finding - that ram named itr
your paper, as an adherent to the Institntioii

claim all connexion • with the Institution, arid_
to give the assurance that I have long strong- -

TIM EXPULSION OF TIIE KIDNAP,
PERS OF MORGAN, '-
We are beset at home and abroad with
earnest appeals to our judgment and 'mercy
in behalf of the innocent masons; the inof ,
fensive masons, the benevolent, the chalk' ,
Ilk, the patriotic masons. "Puidih the
guilty," extlaims another Daniel, (and that
is what we are doing,) "but let the innocent
escape—harm not the innocent.." .
Who would harm the innocent? In the/
late war with England was Decrespilty of'
any offence against our rights? And what
had the crews of the Guerriere, the Java,
and the Peacock done, that our men fell up
on them sword and musket, eannister-and -
homb, pistol and pike staff,' and sunk their
proud ships in the depths of the sea? Poor
innocents, they had never set foot on our
shores, robbed our commerce, kidnapped
our seamen, or done us any harm, and yet
how our ships held them tb account!. Hai
and Deemer, Perry and . M'Donough, weny
no beter than AntimasOns: they punished' •
the innocent and the guilty , with the same
overwhelming broadsides!
Dut suppose Britain had punished- the
