objects orther institution were too light to
be opposed to considerations as serious as
these; and that it was become necessary to
annihilate it absolutely. On this, therefore,
he was decided. The first iiiiieral - fribetint
at Philadelphia was now at hand; he went
to that, determined to exert all his influence
for its suppression. He proposed it to his
fbllow officers, and urged it with all his
powers. It met an opposition which was
observed to cloud his face with an anxiety,
that the most distressful scenes of the war
had scarcely ever produced. It was can
vassed for several days, and, at length, it
was no more a doubt, what would be its ul
timate fate. The order was on the point of
receiving its annihilation, by the vote of a
great majority of its members. In this
moment,' their envoy arrived from France,
charged with letters from the French offi
cers, accepting with cordiality the proposed
badges of union,. with solicitations from oth

mithout any indignation, the eagle anct

very hands which had placed them. there?
The idea revolted the whole society. They
found it necessary,, then, to preserve so
much of their institution as might continue "I

frim this side the Atlantic; it was to , be

to be triennial only. The eriglaand ribbon,

feel too much interest irithe reputation of
their officers, and value too much whatever
titay serve to recall to the memory of their
allies, the moments within they formed but
one people, not to do justice to the Circum
stance which prevented a total annihilation
of the order. Though they are obliged by
a prudent foresight, to keep out every thing
from among themselves which might pre

to consider it as one, to have aided them in

their remembrance; and it would be an ex
treme affliction to them, if the domestic re
formation which has been found necessary,
if the censures of individual writers, or if
any other circumstance should discourage
the wearing of their badge, or lessen 'its
repution.
"Thin short but true history of the order
of the Cincinnati, taken from the mouths or
persons on the spot, who were privy to its
origin and progress, and who know its pre-
sent state, is the best apology which can be
made for an institution, which appehred to
be i -and-was really, so heterogenous to the
governments in which it was erected.

"As to the question, then whether any
evil can proceed from , the institution, as it
stands at present, I am of opinion there may.
1. From the meetings. These will keep
the officers formed into a body; will contin

tary assemblies will not only keep alive the
jealousies and fears ofthe civilgovernment,
but give ground for these fears and jeal

will Make business, .if they have none; they
will collate their grievances, some real,
some imaginary, all highly painted; they
will communicate to each other the sparks
of discontent; and- these may- engender a
flame, which will consume their particular,
as well as the general happiness. 2. The

likely to do mischief, as it perpetuates the

sufficient interest to keep up an attention to
their description, to continue meetings, and
perhaps, in some moment when the political
eye shall be slumbering, or the firmness of
their fellow citizens relaxed, to replace the
insignia of the order and revive all its pre-
tensions. What good can the officers. pro

to the same fertile soil, and the same gen

the descendants of their other fellow -citi

They will be rendered thereby both more
honest and happy. An industrious farmer
occupies a more dignified place in the scale

PROGRESS OF ANTI-MASONRY.
A short time since, (treys the Niagara
Courier) we caused a.number of copies of
our print to be forvirsided to a valued cor
respondent in CarePbell county, Kentucky,
to be distributed among the citizons in that
quarter. A day or two since, we received
a letter from this gentleman, in extract
From which we have taken the liberty of
laying before our readers, for the purpose
of showing the great- effect which the dis
semination of correct information upon the
subject of freemasonry has, upon the minds
of a virtuous and independent yeomanry—
and as affording a strong illustration of the
correctness of the position'assumed by Mr.
Rush in reference to the public" press. Its

But let our correspondent speak for himself.
His letter is dated "Carthage, Campbell co.,

.'The
,copies otiahe 'Courier' containing
Mr. RusMl6 letter, and also those of Di. Wa
terhouse and -Mr. Gest, Were duly received.
I sent two or three of these papers into Mon
, roe township Clermont county, Ohio, (about.
1,4 miles from this place,) where: I' had fhi
merly sent a small number of anti-masonic
PaPers_3x_Md_w_here_a_little,ingnity4lWLlbe
subject_of freernasunr . y_haiLtaken_place—in_
the minds of a few in that vicinity.. The
effect of Mr. Rush's hotter was electrical in
its influence upon the Citizens of Monroe
township.---for immediately upon re c a - dliig it,
a public meeting was held at the Franklin
School House, in that township, when a long
and very able address was delivered by Mr.
WILLIAM HERRON, wherein he sot forth
the dangerous tendency of the, principles of
freemasonry, dtc.--and as an election for
the choice of two magistrates in their town
ship.was approaching; they nominated, (for
the first time) two candidates upon strict
anti.masunic grounds. As soen_ as the, ma
sons were apprised of this measure; they
opened theii'batteries of calumny and abuse
upon their opposers--and 'made out their
masonic ticket of two candidates.— On the
day of the election, however, the masons
dropped one of these candidates, and con
centrated all their force in favour of Mr.
Clutter of Point Pleasant, .(a village in said
township,)—but to the great mortification
of the Brotherhood, Messrs. Readin and
Wyatt, the antimasonic candidates, were
elected by a handsome majority !
"On the whole,' I presume to say, sir,
that there never has been so rapid a spread,
and so sudden a groWth, of anti-masonic
principles, in any other part of the union,
since the abduction and murder of William
Morgan. It is cheering.
"Very respectfully yours, &c."
THE NEW-YORK GRAND LODGE
AND ELI BR VE.
[From the Ithica (N. Y.) Chronicle.]
The fact has been frequently stated for
two or three years past, that. the Grand
Lodge, in Juhe, 1827, voted a.suni of money
to Eli_Bruce, when it was well known that
he-was-mi-aetiite..paxticipatur..4.llm-.

- While the fact was thus stated, Mr. Bruce,
though he assures the public that his "feel
ings are still alive to public sentjAeßLl7,..Aid
not meet it with a contradiction.
But Col. Stone, [Editor of the New York
Commercial Advertiser,] who was a mem
ber of that Grand Lodge, recently alluded to
this appropriation as a loan. 'And Mr.
DlPce, .profit atfrinibble, loses no time in
meeting the assertion, (in a letter published
in the masonic Craftsman) thus:
"The Grand Lodge nth NOT then, (1827)
nor at any subsequent period, loan me
money."
This has led Col. Stone to an examination,
and thus he explains the acts:
"Mr. Bruce tells the truth, then, when he
says the Grand Lodge did not LOAN the mo
ney to him. It is recorded on the Secreta
ry's records of the proceedings of the Grand
Lodge, that the money was GIVEN to Mr.
Bruce, as an absolute DONATION. The like
sum was also . cavrac, at the same time, to
some twenty other western members of the
'order, more or les's, for the same cause, viz:
the' persecutions these unhappy gentlemen
Were supposed to be enduring, at the hands
of the Anti-Masons."
Mr. Biuce has thus unwittingly brought
out full proof, from the Secretary's records,
not only that $lOO . was GIVEN to him i -the

WIIAT IS NULLIFICATION
It is the right of one state to put down
FOUR AND TWENTY. It iS the tyrannical
dogma, that the majority shall submit to the
minority.
It is the solecism, that the rights of one,
in a compact of twenty-four, are greater than
the rights of twenty-three-ones; either united
or separate. _
•
It is TREASON against the UNION, against
the COUNTRY, and against the MAJORITY.
It is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC, ANTI-PyrRIOTIC,
and ANTI-FEDERAL.
It ig more preposterous, more atlsurd . , and
more despotic, than the right of the British_
king to hold the Colonies in subjection.
Because it is not the right of the FEW to
govern the MANY; and of the AnisTocnAcit
to lord it over the Wonxmo PEOPLE:
It is the eryof the sLAvE;notnEßs, against
selves, at any moment, of the expense of
slave labour.
It is the voice of Idleness raised against
the voice of Industry, or, rather, the HAND
OF LABOUR.
It is the outcry ofbankrupt slavery arm* rst
the wealth of free labour, competence, and
fortune.

Tho situation of affairs in this Republic, is, at
present, such as to call for tho earnest attention &
close watchfulness of its citizens. Consequences
have resulted from the elevation of Gen. Jackson
to tho Presidency, which, in our opinions, strike
at-the root of our highest political interests; and it
is our right, - and our duty, to raise our - voices - in
opposition to measures, which we conceive fraught

'and prosperity Of our Republic: Amongst these,
the great and in port Ant principles of the American
System, the independence of the Judiciary, the
Bank of the United States, and the fulfilment of
. sacred and solemn Treaties,hold a prominent place.
Believing these matters of high interest and essen
tial importance,we feel it our duty, tawatch close.
ly any attempt to affect them, either through open
opposition, or secret c,hicanorp and to elevate no
man to a situation, wlah wilt afford him such an
opportunity of injuring them, as does the Chief
Executive oficerof the Republic. On the contra

political axiom, that,. when the people are in favor
of any leading principles of policy, they should
place those only In that high and reeponsfale office
who wilt further (heir viewsornd advance those
interests which they may deem of high moment.
