The editor of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, recently stated that Mr. Clay
was not an "adhering mason;" that he with
-4443w from the lodge some 20 years ago, &c.
.This brings - the truth from Mr. Clay's wes
tern brethren. The editor of the-Nashville
(Tenn.) Banner says, Col. Stone's statement
is "a palpable falsehood. Mr. Clay was in
the year of 1823, to our certain knowledge,
a member of Lexington Lodge No.. 1, and
we are informed by good-authority that he
had not "taken his dismission" in the spring
of 1830, little more than a year ago. Th e

to the masonic standing of Mr. Clay; .and

Indeed he goes so far as to class "Religion
and Masonry"itogether. Under his admin
istration, no influence has been so important
in obtaining appointment to office as that of
masonry. By him, or his minions, antima
sons have been "reformed" forthat offence
alone: and masons retained because, they
werMattached to the . order. Of those "re
fOrmed" • some were Jacksonmen, of those .
retained some are Claymen. This evinces
the power of the grip, over the qualifications
.of honesty and capability, or even an adher

thee' do not even pretend to charge them
with any thing criminal, ,put chains upon

way, with' a barbarism that is not only con
trary to law, but such as. in this .section of
country, no 0110. • would dare to inflict even
Utzn such a culprit as the ferocious Gibbs:
The arrested person, not even charged with

when Nye,sce it aiding in oipression:by it

This is told to the Executiye t iind tbrthwith

nothing to do with them, he 'owes them no

but Ge n Jackson and his advisers, have as:
certained that the true principle is. to take

thorised; to wit, to make an equal dist ribto
Lion of it, to the individuals composing; the
-Nation. Thus, the noble defender of Mrs.
Eaton, the President of the United States, is
found dealing out to each Cherokee, a pen

It is ,high time that public attention should
be brought to bear upon this subject, that
they may apply the corrective.—Foilßep.
Taxes.! Taxes! Taxes!
From the Lancaster Herald.
Through the agency of masonic.misman
agement and protliaacy, Pennsylvania has
been plunged in a debt of fifteen millions of
dellarsa sum airnost - eqtraFtolialf the ma ,
tional debt. The interest on this amounts
to 700,000 dollars, tbr the paynient of which
the most oppressive and burdensoine taxes
have been imposed by a masonic legislature
and governor. Not only are the lands of
the farmer taxed nearly double the usual a
mount, but he is compelled to throw open his
desk, to exhibit his books, to display his pa
pers, and divulge the situation of his private
'aflitirs to gratify"the impertinent curiosity or
malicious feehngs of an insolent-taxgathemr,
often to the great injury ofhis 7 Character and
pecuniary interests. Not only4,ol,thi.
the case, but he. will often be compelled to
pay a tax on debts due him which he may
never receive. The State will not guaran
tee the payment of debts, yet it exacts the
payment of tax on them.
But this is not the worst. Were the mo
ney thus raised, expended with economy and
wirr an eye to the public good, the people
would bear the burden with comparative
cheerfulness. Such - has not been the case,
-iiewovor T noiNia it likely. any uha,, g ,,s-- tho
State policy will be Made while its destinies
are in the hands of the lodge. 01- the im
mense amount of money already expended—
where are the fruits? Where is the' revenue
which it was promised, .would be derived
from such extraordinary expenditures?--
Where is the work completed, or in such a
state of forwardness as — to give hopes of a
speedy ecimpletion? No where. Large as
was the amount of money appropriated by
the last legislature the works still languish.
The resources of the State are squandered
and its energies paralied by incompetent
and profligate agents. On the Pennsylvania
rail road, the most important link in the ex
tensive chain of itnprovementl!not grail has
been laid. True, proposals were issued some
months ago for materials, but there the mat
ter rests. The money which has been ex
pended in grading. and bridging • thirty or
forty miles, 'yields no interest—yea,. it will
require an additional stun to put the road in
a condition tbr laying the rails. -
'1 remedy these evils it is absolutelyrtfe=
ccssaiy that the peoljTo era nrajorijy — int the
legislature over the lodge, the coming ses-
sion. asons ave 715 - 15 fig ie o .•
the farmer to expect any-reformation attheir
hands.__lt_is_the_intereSts and object of -
sonry to provide office for as many of its
sworn band as possible. Every device there
fore is resorted to byihe institutionto create
offices and thereby obtain power. We find .
through the vast system of What is called in
-ternal improvement, every station filled with
those who wear
. the badge, of masonry or
truckle to its' power. The canal. commis
sioners, the superintendants, the engineers
of every grade, the contractors with few ex
ceptions are all of the enlightened few. The.
only way s as we have remarked„ for the
'people to relieve themselves from the ey.o .. _
of masonic legislation, and an odious system
of taxation, is for them to elect a majority
of
. frcemen to the next legislature. This
they can do if they be true to themselves &
their interests. Antimasons are the friends
"of reform and economy, and will labor to re
deem the State from it present embarassed
condition., The citizensof Lancaster coun- -
ty, especially, areballed to exert themselves.
The tax which they will have to pay the en
sifing year for State and county purposes will
.b - xceed 80,000 dollars, an enormous amount
for them, when we consider the low price of f
produce. Every one of them should turn out
at the.approaching election and record his
yoto for the candidates of the people—for
men whose interests are theoswe as their
nwnrivho are not sworn 'to favor the projects
Orignuited in the lodge. From such men.
they .may expect
,the repeal of the . odious
system of taxation passed - by Deputy Grand
Master Wolf arid his masonic legislature.—
They *ll place the stamp of infiimy on the
unprincipled trick, Eby. whipk, the operation
of this hated lkw was postponed until-after
the people had'hestowed their votes on those,

doubtful. Fathers and children haVe sunk

over it in retribution for long indulged, and
hence severely expiated, crime. Many of
the most reputable and distinguished inhal)-

We have been visited by the most, de.
structive freshet known since, the memory of
man. The crops on the river plantations are
entirely swept—planters, who expected to,
make 600 bales of cotton, will not make 10.
This, with the loss of their provision crops,
stock of cattle, hogs, destruction of fences,
and injury to the soil, will make a sum total,
which we canndt at this time estimate. We
believe that $300,000 will not Cover the
losses sustained by a portion Of our fellow
citizens in this district alone. Amongst the
injuries sustained ie the loss of our fine
bridge.. It embraced fem. arches neatly
constructed and covered, two of which, the
longest, are taken oti:
five hundred laborers are wanted on the
Camden and Amboy Railroad at Borden
town, N. .1. to whom good wages will be
given. The manner in which'this work is
progressing to a speedy completion does
honor to its undertakers.. The Delaware
and Raritan Canal, in the neighborhood of
Trenton, we should judge to 4 equally as
fast on'the march to ediniiWn. It is in
tended that the canal. from Trenton to King
ston shall be finished this season, in order
that water may be let in to remain over win
