In it he express. ly states thathe had never been initiated in the order. He-therefore knew nothing of their Secrete, their the, nor their Penal -ticei-----Farless had their ctical operation been revealed,;Thy the mur er, of William Morgan. Nor lied the hand of the Avenger of blood ken arrested for five long years— and-probably forever,-by the contumacy of witnesses sitting justice at defiance in her own Sanctuary—Nor had the trial. of an ac con‘plice in guilt marked the influence of , : . 4 4r—untler , inasonic--0014rupon the I verdict'of his_clevenScllows.. 4_ . • That Mr. Sheppard should resort' toa let ter from my father, a rofessetll uninitiated man, o t era e e asOnle nStnutioll trie - unrefuted charge of unlam;ful Oaths, of tEltbig PAPER:TwoDo*.isitis pdr annum—payable half yeadyin attiance. siibscriptions taken' for testi; than six nuinths, and none discontinued until ali aitearages ate paid, unless atthe option of the Edslorand a failure to notify a disdontibumice will . be considered is IMIZ , . j of the Crown, when in October, 1758, my father, having finished his law studies, and -his sc hool-keeping- at Woreester, --- - himself—a stranger—poor, friendless, and obscure, to ask of him-the Tabor to present him to the SUperior Court of the Proviticei then sitting at Boston, for admission to the' Bar—Mr. Gridley, in his own office, exam fined the youthful aspirant with regard to his professional acquirements; gave him advice truly paternal, and slictated by the• purest virtue; and then presented him to the Court, with a declaration that he had himself ex amined him, mid-could assure their Honors that his legal acquirements were very con siderable, and fully worthy of the admissions which he solicited. This kindness of Mr. Gridley was never' forgotten by my father—l trust it will never be forgotten by bis children. From that day forth, while Mr. Gridley lived, he was the intimate friend, personal and profession. al, of my father. He died in 1767. - fatb - er Often resorted to bin . ] for friendly counsel, and as he was Grand Master of the Lodge, once asked his, advice, whether it was worth his while to become a member of the Society. In the candour of friendship, ° Mr. Gridley answered him—NO—adding that by aggregation to the society man might acqiiiiiraliilleartiAcial suppor4 but that he did not need it, and that there . was nothing in the Masonic Institution wor- thy of his seeking to be associated with it. So said, at that time, the Grand Master oft the Massachusetts Masons, Jeremy Grid - ley: and - se - ch, - . repeitedly heard my father say, was the reason why he neVer joined the lodge. The use of the name of 'Washington, 62,• give an odour of sanctity to the Institiniort -twit -note stands exposed - to - the - world, is, bi -- my opinion, as unwarrantable ail that of in/ father's name.
