The oath of an Entered Apprentice as
contained in a book of which he is the author,
entitled Allyn's Rttual,already produced and
"marked exhibit B. is the oath of Entered
Apprentice, as he received it, tinder the in
struction of Daniel D. or. Daniel B. Brim
made, then Master of the lodge in which de
ponent was initiated, and since Grand Mas.
. ter of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut.
He . further saith, that the oaths of the
Fellow Craft's degree, past: 59, and of Mas
ter Mason, page 71, and'of Mark Master,
page 100, and of Past Master, page 114,
and of Most Excellent Master, page 127,
and of Royal Arch Wason, page 143, as con
tained in exhibit B. were administered to
• him under the administration of the above
:mentioned Daniel D. or Daniel B. I3rins
made, Master ()Idle Lodge, and High Priest
of the Chapter, and since Grand Muster of
the Grand Lodge of . Comiectic.ut, and so be
has since heard them administered in other
'mitres mid chapters.
He fbrther saith, that the degrees of the
Secret Cooncil, viz; Royal Master, and Se
lest Master, Ii lye, the limner a promise, con
tained page 167, and the latter an oath, con
tained page 178, of exhibit B. the same that
he.received and has assisted to confer on
others.
He further saith, that the degrees of the
Encampment are, Knisht of the Red Cross,
Knight Templar, and Knight of Malta.—
The oath of the Knight of the Red Cross,
page 220," of the Knght Templar, and
Knight of Malta, pages 230 and 250 of ex
hibit B. are the oaths of the Encampinent,as
• he received them of most eminent Labatt
Smith, Grand Commander and Sovereign
Master of Now Haven Eticampment of
. Knight Teraplars, No. 2.; and as he has
assisted in conferrinu them on others in Clin
ton Encampment, No. 3., of Connecticut,
and in Morton Encampment. of Knight Tem
piers, St. John's Hall, in the City of N.York.
He further saith, that the oaths of the
following Honorary Degrees, as contained
in exhibit B. are the same as he has him
self received, and as are generally conferred
by Masons within the sphere of his observa
tion, viz: Secret Monitor, received from
Grand Lecturer Barney, page 188; Heroine
of Jericho, page 193, and Knights of the
Three Kings, page 200.
Ho further snail, that he has received the
Degrees of Honor, called Intimate Secre
tary, Ark and Duve, Knights of the Rour,d
Table, Mediterranean Pass, Secret Master,
and Union Master, but of these his memory
duos not enable him to specify particularly.
To the third Interrogatory he saith:
The ceremony of the Burning Bush is
performed in the Royal Arch degree, in
manner and form particularly described in
the book, called Allyn's Ritual, marked ex
hibit B. page 147, line third to the twenty
sixth inclusive.
To the fourth Interrogatory he saith:
Ths ceremony of the Knight Templar's
-degree requires the candidate to participate.
with the Sovereign Master of the Encamp
ment in five libations. The candidate' is
told by the Sovereign Master that the elein
eats ()film first four libations are wine and
water, of the fifth libation; ire wine—which
pure wine is to be drunk from a human
skull. The candidate is further told, that
he cannot be received a Knight of the En.
camp - ment, until he has participated in this
libation, in receiving which, he is required
to kneel at the base of the triangle, on which
stand twelve tapers in form of a triangle,
representing the twelve Apostles. For a
particular description of the whole ceremo
ny, he refers to the book called Allyn's Rit
ual, from the fourth line on page 249. to the
bottom of page 250, including the notes, and
also the plate facing page 250, exhibit B.
. He further saith, that after he had receiv.
el the fifth libation, he was informed by
"Most Eminent," Benjamin M. Hill, then
acting Genertillissimo in New Haven En
campment, and a respectable Baptist Cler
gyman of New Haven, city, where depo
nent was dubbed and created, that objections
were often raised by candidates to proceed•
ing in different. parts of the ceremony of
this degree; and in one particular case, he
knew a candidate at the base of the trian.
gle, ap above described, interrupt the pro.
gresiotothe ceremonies, for the space of two
hotfra. or more,: by refusing to take the fifth
lilatilian; and sealed obligatiori; but in that,
and in every other instance of the kind, THE
CANDIDiTit WAS CONSTRAINED OR CAUSED
TO PROCEED AT LAST "according fo the an•
dent rites'and ceremonies." . But the oath
and libation whin') often cause the candidate
to object to proceeding, and which he is told
will afterward be qualified and explained to
his perfect satisfaction, to induce bins to pro•
ceed, were never qualified or explained to
the deponent, or to any other candidate in
the different Encampments in which he has
seen this degreo conferred.
Deponent further saith, that he received
with three others n copy of the entire "work"
end ceremonies, oaths and obligations of the
degrees of Knight Templar and Knight o
Malta, in writing, from the said Benjamin
M. Hill, who required one dollar of each
person, and also an oath, that whenever they
used the manuscript, or either ot thern,they
ahould neither la) it down, nor put it away,
until it was first wrapped up, sealed, and di-
meted to some Sir Kniglit of the Order.
To the fifth Interrogatory he saith:
The book culled Morgan's illustrations
if Masonry, BIIBSTANTIALLY CORRECT.
le has seen it used by officers of the lodges
m conferring the degrees, as n text book and
guide. With a few trifling exceptions it is
according. to "the work" as taught by Jere
my L. Cross, Grand Lecturer, whose busi•
Um it has beets, to visit the different lodges
or Connecticut and other parts of New Eng
laud, to secure uniformity in "the work,"
or ceremonies of Masonry. One instaneo
titan exception is the following: In Morgan's
blink, the first question in the lecture of an
Entered ApprenNee is: "From whence came
Vag Ass an Entered Apprentice MasonT Ans.
raisier the holy bike of St. John's at Jeru.
04*," The answer should be "from a
40* otthe holy St. John's of Jett's:than."
To the sixth Interrogatory he saith:
That the book called Bernard's Light on
Masonry, marked exhibit A. IS SUILSTANTI.
ALLY TRUE. It varies in many inconsidera•
ble parts from the manner of "the work,"
of Masonry, as he was taught it. These
variations may be seen, by comparing any
degree or obligation, or ceremony of Ma
sonry, described in exhibit A. with the same
degree, obligation, or ceremony % as descri
bed in exhibit B.
To the sevcrah Interrogntory he safth:
lithe professions 01'1 he Order are correct,
Masonry is everywhere the same. lie was
so taught and instructed as n Mason.
To the eighth Interrogatory he said):
He knows of within(' important to °stab.
lish the ti uth of Bernar d's Light on Masonry
further than what he has before stated.
T. the ninth Interrogatory ho saith.
He has nothing to say.
To the first cross Interrogatory ho saith
Ile is politically attached to the Anti
Masonic party.
To the 2il cross Interrogatory he saith:
He has committed himself to the public,
by written statements and by verbal decla
ration, respecting the principles and obliga
tions of Masonry.
To the ad cross interrogatory he saith:
He neither publishes, nor is any way con
cerned in, an Anti. Masonic Newspaper.
To the 4th cross Interrogatory he saith:
He is a seceding Mason; was a Mason
seven or eight years, before seceding; he has
been Warden ola Lodge, Grand Master of
Veils in a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons;
Master of Infantry in a council of Red Cross
Knights, and Junior Warden ofan Encamp.
ment of Knights Templars and Knights of
Malta; and he has never adminktered a
Masonic oath, excepting tho honorary de
grees of secret Monitor, Union Master and
some others not fully recollected.
To the fifth cross Interrogatory he saith:
He has never been, at any time expelled
or suspended from Masonry, or any associa
tion of Masons, to his knowledge. Up to
the time of his secession he was in good and
regular standing.
To the sixth cross Interrogatory he saith:
He was restrained, while a Mason, and
prohibited, from disclosing the peculiacprin
ciples and obligations of Free-Masonry, by
the charges, oaths, and penalties of the or
der. In one particular case, where the
murder of W . m. Morgan was communica
ted to him as the secret of a Knight Tem
plar, he was restrained from communicat
ing it to the public fbr many months, by the
dread of Masonic persecution, and the fear
of violating his Masonic oaths.
To the 7th cross Interrogatory he saithr
He, has no recollection of having heard
the obligation to promote each others politi
cal advancement ever administered by Ma
sons.

WILLIAM L. STONE, of the City of
New York, aged thirty years and upwards,
Editor of the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser, being duly sworn and examined on
the part of the Detendant,doth depose& saith
'lnterrogatories same as those] preceding.]
(0-11.1 . r. Stone's Deposition being a confirmation of
the statements made in those already copied, we
deem it only necessary to make the following ex
tracts:—
To the fourth Interrogatory the Deponent
said': that a libation is taken out of a hu
man skull in the degree of Knight Templar,
but it bas been so many years since, this De
ponent has had any concern in the Encamp
ment that he does not recollect the particu
lars of this degree with sufficient accuracy
to relate them.
To the fifth Interrogatory the Deponent
saith: that he has never read Morgan's Rev
' elations of Masonry, any farther than in
glancing cariously over them, as they are
said to be embodied in Bernard's Light on
Masonry. The Revelations there given,
bear the evidence of general truth, with the
exceptions and qualificaticus already made
by. this Deponent touching the obligations.
To the fourth cross Interrogatory the De
ponent saith: that he is not a seceding Ma
son, no - r is ho an acting Mason, having nev
er attended a lodge since he saw a donation
of money voted to Eli Bruce by the Grand
Lodge of N. York, in June 1827. Depo
nent was made a Mason in the year 1815.
He has once been the Scribe of a Chapter
of Royal Arch Masons, but has never ad
ministered a Masonic obligation to any body.
JOEL PARKER, of city of New
Yor,k, • Pastor of the Free Presbyterian
church, in Dry street, and member ofthe
third Presbytery in the city of New York,
aged thirty years and upwards, being duly
sworn and examined on the part of the plain.'
tifr,doth depose and say, as follows, viz:
[lnterrogatories same as in preceding Depositions
To the first Interrogatory he said::
He is d Mason and has taken seven de
grees; besides some honerary degrees was
made a Mason in the Lodge, in Vernon,
Oneida County, New York.
To the second Interrogatory he snith:
Free-Masons do take oaths on taking each
degree. Having read the oath of Entered
Apprentice Mason, as contained in a book,
called "Bernard's Light on Masonry," Wil ;
hams edition, 1829, marked exhibit A. de
poneat saith it is substantially the same that
he received, and his impression is, that it is
the same in every word and letter, which he
received at his initiation, as an Entered Ap.
prentice. 'Having read the oath of the Fel
low Craft's degree, pages 44 and 45, of the
same book, 'marked exhibit A. deponent
saith, that in all its rinpo:tam features, it is
the same, with the oath administered to him
in this degree; but whether the clause re
quiring him to obey all regular signs and
summonses was administered to him in this
degree, he Cannot say, although it was ad-
ministered to him m some of ..thenaths
Masonry. The phrase "square asd angle
of my work" the deponent does not recollect
at all. [laving read the Master Mason's
oath, contained in the book called •'Light
on 'Masonry" pages 61, 62, 63, deponent
I saith that as far as his recollection serves
him, it is the same oath that he received as
a Master Mason, nevertheless the following
expressions he does not perfectly recollect;
viz: "for the benefit of the craft when at
work," (page (32,1ine five.) On page 63 lines
seven and eight from the top, he is not cer
tain that the phrase, and "they left at my
own election" was received by him. He
sees no other point that he does not feel clear
about.
Ilavifig carefully read the oath of a Mark
Master Mason, as contained, pages 9Q and
99, of the said Light en Masonry, marked
exhibit A. deponent saith it is in substance
the same as he received when nando a Mark
Master Mason. On page 99, line 13, the
word "swap" he does not recollect, and the
promise contained in lines foiirteen and fif
teen on the same pages not to send his mark
to pledge a second time, until it is lawfully
redeemed from the first,he does not recollect.
Having read the oath of Past Master ,Ma•
son, as contained in said Light on M asoni y
pages 109, 110, 111, marked exhibit A. de•
ponent said), it is with one exception, sub.
stanhally the same with the one be took,
when admitted ti, this degree. The excep
tion, on page 110, lines six, seven, and eight
from the bottom, is in these words. "Fur
thermore 1 will not knowingly set in any
Lodge where any one presides, who has riot
received the degree of Past Master,"( his the
deponent does not recollect. The phrase
befbre excepted to us doubtful in the Muster's
degree viz: "they left to my own election,"
he wishes to put down as doubtful wherever
it occurs; so much dispute having been rais
ed about it, that his recollection is not clear
upon the existence of that phrase in the oaths,
as aJmininstered to him; his impression,
however, is that the phrase was administer
ed to him.
The most Excellent Master Mason's oath,
as contained on pages 120, 121, of said
Light on Masonry„ exhibit A. is the oath
which he received in this degree, excepting
as doubtful, "they left to my own choice.''
flaying attentively read the oath of a Roy•
al Arch Mason, as contained in Bernard's
Light on Masonry, pages 129,130, 131, ex
hibit A. deponent saith, it is the same as lie
received mainly, when admitted into the
Royal Arch Chapter. The words "Grand
°mottle," he does not recollect. The only
remaining part of which lie has nnj doubt,
is, the word "not" in the phrase "Murder and
treason not excepted." Whether the word
was used or not used, in that phrase, he does '
not recollect. The clause requiring Royal
Arch. Masons to support each other's politi
cal preferment in preference to others of e
qual qualifications, was administered to him,
but thr...faro, nf. tha—wordc, was. deiiiilrio. ;
thinks, that which is given in the, mite to
this oath, exhibit A. page 130, as follows:.
"Furthermore, 4o I promise and swear, that
I will vote fora companion Royal Arch Ma
son, before any other of equa I qualifications."
To the third Interrogatory he saith: that
the ceremony of the . burning bush is per
formed in the Royal Arch degree. Depo
nent received this degree in King David's
Royal Arch Chapter in Auburn, Cayuga
Co., New York. A bush of ever-greens
was set in the room 19 inches to two feet
o^ll which was set on fire and burned very
brilliantly, as ►f it had been immersed in
spirits of turpentine. While it consumed
they bade him remove his shoes from his
feet;saying "the ground whereon thou stand
est is holy." Other scripture language was
used connected with the miracle of the bush
which burned and consumed not.
To the fourth Interrogatory he saith: that
he knows nothing of the degrees of Knight
Te m pia r.
To the fifth Interrogatory he said): that
he should think he had read one third part
of Morgan's Revelations of Masonry. The
subject was much fresher in his memory
then than now, and his impression at the
time was that Morgan's book was remarka
bly correct, insomuch that he marvelled at
the great accuracy with which the disclo
sures were made.
To the sixth Interrogatory he snith: the
he has examined Bernard's Light on Ma
sonry, published at Utica, 1829, by Wm.
Williams, marked exhibit A. on the oaths
and penalties of the first seven degrees close
ly, and finds it to be to far substantially cor-
rect. On the lectures and ceremonies he
has not examined it only as he opens the
book, the Royal Arch Cypher strikes his
eye, which with the key to it, appearsto be
correct. The Grand Royal Arch Word
Jah•buh•lun is, also, correct, and the man
ner of giving it, as described in said book,
marked exhibit A. The manner of open
ing the chapter is also well described. In
the chapter in which deponent was Made,
the word was given three ways at the open
ing of the chapter, first G•O D under the
living arch three times round, then JE no.
VAII in the same manner three times round,
and again Jols•buh-lun three times round,
under the living arch.
To the seventh Interrogatory he saith:
that he knows little of the world by obser
vation, ,hut he has always been taught that
its universality was one of the chief recom
mendations of Free• Masonry.
To the eighth Interrogatory he saith: that
he was at Batavia just before Morgan's book
was published. He was told that it was
forthcoming, and he had little doubt at the
tiMe that it would cost Morgan his life.—
He enquired of a minister ol the Gospel, the
Rev. Eliphalet Spencer, then resident at
Middlebury. Genesee county, N. Y. what
they were going to do with Morghni Ho
replied that they thought of doing several
but as he was a minister of the Gos-
pel they did not communicate with him free
ly upon - the subject. One plan, he believed,
had been to burn the printing office, in which
the disclosures were ut the press, but he
thoug it..wat abandoned.
To the ninth Interrogatory he saith: that
he known of nothing important to reply.
To the first cross Interrogatory he saith:
he feels more interest in the success of the
Anti-Masonic political party, than any oth
er, but he is not a political man, and has
not carried an Anti-Masonic vote these two
years.
To the second cross Interrogatory he
saith he has published a sermon preached at
Rochester thanksgiving day 1829, in which
he did commit himself, as to the principles
of Masonry.
To the third cross Interrogatory he saith:
No; he neither publishes nor is in any way
connected with an Anti-Masonic newspaper.
To the fourth cross Interrogatory he
saith: he was made a Mason in his sopho
more year, A. D. 1822, and he publicly
withdrew from the fraternity in 1828. He
never held an office in Masonry, but has at
difThrent times acted temporarily, as Chap
lain, King, and Scribe of a Chapter. He
has never administered any Masonic Align
Lion in any lodge or chapter. He has ad
ministered the obligation of the following
honorary degree, viz: Secret Monitor, and
he thinks, also of the honorary degree of
nights of Constantinople. The oath of the
latter is correctly given, he thinks, on page
186 of *A [lvies Ritual, published by Jahn
Marsh & Co. Boston, 18:31, marked exhibit
13. The oath of Secret Monitor is correct
ly given in said volume, exhibit B. page
188, 189.
To the fifth cross Interrogatory he :midi:
he has never been expelled, or suspended,
or in any difficulty with any lodge, chapter,
or Free-Mason, as such, to his knowledge.
l'o the sixth cross Interrogatory he smith:
that while he considered the oaths of Free-
Masonry banding, he never did disclose its
peculiar principles, or obligations, and felt
restrained from such disclosure, by the re
ligious obligation of his oaths. When Mor
gan was known to be preoaring his disclo
sures for the press, this deponent reflected
with himself: "What if I were in Morgan's
stead? 1 should consider myself no better
than marked out fur a sudden and violent
death."
The deponent further saith: that the state
of current opinion among Masons impressed
him with the belief that he or any other,
could more easily escape from the penalty
of the law in a common case of murder,than
from death in case ore disclosure of the rites
and obligations of Free-Masonry.
To the seventh cross Interrogatory he
saith: that the obligation to promote a Roy-
al Arch Companion's political advancement
was generally received in the chapter, but
he cannot say it was ever acted upon. He
has never been a political man; has heard
the Royal Arch obligation administered in
the chapter at Ogsdensburg, St. Lawrence
Co. N. York and in that of Salina, Ononda
ga Co. N. Y. and has never observed any
4ifference from , the form in which it was ad
'ministered to him in King David's Chapter,
at Auburn, N. York. To the last clause of
'the Interrogatory deponent saith, that he
knows not how it happens that Masons on
all questions of general politics are found
opposed to each other, unless it be that they
neglect their mutual obligations, which they
sometimes do.

Levi H. Clarke,
ISRAEL PIN KN EY,of New York,gen
tleman, aged forty years and upwards, being
duly sworn and examined on the part of the
doth depose and say as follows, 'viz;
[lnterrogatories same as in preceding Depositions.]
To the first Interrogatory he saith, he is
a Free-Mason, has taken seven degrees, was
made a Mason in Washmgton Lodge No. 17,
New York.
To the second Interrogatory he saith,
Free- Masons do take oaths in each degree.
He has attentively read the oaths of the
seven degrees of Ancient Masonry, as con
tained in a book called Allyn's R itual,edition
of John Marsh and company, Boston, 1831,
and finds them to be, as therein stated, SUB
STANTIALLY CORRECT; to wit, the oath of
Entered Apprentice, page 29, the oath of
Fellow Craft, page 59; the oath of Master
Mason, page 71; the oath of Marlc Master,
page 100; the oath ()West iWaster, page 114;
the oath of Most Excellent Master, page
127; and the oath of Royal Arch Mason,
page 143; ofsaid volume marked Exhibit B.
To their general accuracy he has but one
exception, to the best of his recollection, to
make, viz: to the clause "right or wrong,"
in the Royal Arch oath.
To the third Interrogatory he saith, it is
about twenty years since he received the
Royal Arch degree, and he has no recollec
tion of the representation of the Burning
Bush.
To the fourth Interrogatory he saith, that
he is not a Templar, and knoweth not o
the libations they drink.
'co the fifth Interrogatory he saith, he
has never seen IVlorgan'S Revelations of Ma
sonry, but he
. has seen "a Ritual of Free.
Masonry, illustrated by numerous engrav
ings, with notes and remarks, &c. By Avery
Allyn, Boston, John Marsh & Co. 1831,"
marked exhibit B. which' is, as near as he
can remember, substantially correct. Cer.
emonies of different Lodges may be a little
different, according to the peculiar charac
ter of the officers of the lodges; but in the
leading features, in the obligations, and in
the polur star of its put-pose, the "work" of
the lodges is uniformly the same.
To the sixth Interrogatory he suith, he
has never read Bernard's Light on Masonry.
To the seventh Interrogatory ho saith,
he believes. Free-Masonry to be substantial
ly the sante throughout the world, with such
qualifications as he has made in his -answer
to the fifth Interrogatory. •
To the eighth I ntetrogatoi y he said', that
JOEL PA RKER.
,FinKs... t —We learn from a Hagerstown
paper, that the barn of Mr. Daniel Welty, in
that county, was destroyed by fire together
with its contents, embracing his entire crop
of grain, on Friday week last. On the
Monday previous, the barn of Mr. Isaac
Itidenaur, near Hagerstown, was destroyed
by fire. In blith eases it is stated, that sus•
picions are entertained, of it having been the
work of design.
JEFFERSO:V COLLEGE, Pa.—The Hon. AN
DREW STEWART, of Uniontown, Pa. is ex
petted to deliver an addre.;s before the two
Literary Societies of this Institution, on the
24th inst.
he knoweth not Bernard's Light on Ma
sonry.
To the ninth Interrogatory he saith, that
from his observations of the Older, he sin
cerely believes, that Fred-Masonry has an
unjust and undue influence on the weak and
ignorant part of the fraternity, by making
them think that Masons are more their
friends for taking upon them Masonic obli
gations, than if they did not, thereby giving
them an unjust influence in society.
To the first cross Interrogatory he saith,
he is certainly not attached to the Anti-Ma.
sonic political party.
To the second cross Interrogatory he
saith, that he has never committed himself
in any way to the public respecting the prin.
ciples or obligations of Free-Masonry, only
by generally speaking against its peculiar
inciples.
To the third cross Interrogatory he saith,
not at all; he has no cornice! ion with an
Anti- Masemc newspaper in nny way.
• To the fourth cross Interrogatory he
saith, that for a year past he has considered
himself to be absolved from all Masonic ob
ligations, because he believes them to be in•
. - .
yirmus to society and unjust. Ile has been
a Mason about twenty veers. He has been
treasurer of a Royal Arch Chapter, or of a
Blue Lodge; he has filled many offices pro
tem—but has never administered a Masonic
obligation.
To the firth cross Interrogatory he saith,
he has never been expelled or suspend.A
from a Lodge.
To the sixth cross Interrogatory he saith:
that he certainly considered he was restrain-
ed and prohibited from disclosing Free-Ma
sonry, its principles and obligations, by the
nature of his Masonic oaths, and the corn.
mon opinions of his fellow Masons. The
penalties he always considered ceremonial.
To the seventh cross Interrogatory he
snit h: that he knows not of any obligation in
Masonry to promote the political advance
ment of Masons.

the subject of Masonry, as will give our
readere a clear view of the genuineness o
Masonry, ns disclosed by seceding Masons.
In our view, the evidence published, not on
ly fully und substantially confirms such dis
closures, but stamps the Institution with
crimes of the deepest dye—even of M UItWER
and BLAsPn Mild After this, it cannot be ex
pected that the people can or will sup

upholds the principles inculcated by Mason

The Masonic Wulf papers are new parading
an "address" said to have been written by
the redoubtable Captain, in which the ques

and the public and impudent manner in
which he gives the Grand Hailing Sign of

the last year. It is certainly without a ri

I was one of a crowded and respectable audience,
who attended on Wellnesday last, on the occasion of
the Second Annual Co' nimencenlent of Pennsylvania
College—and was so highly gratified by the exercises
on that occasion, and the evidence they afforded of
the rising usefulness of that Institution, that I cannot

as your valuable little paper professes to be devoted
to the cause of Literature.

tively evil, and under some circumstances
may do positive injury.
"We will not now enter upon n discussion
of this question, as it would require more
tune and attention than we can at present
bestow upon it; but will barely remark, that
Masonry has had it in her power to estab
lish her innocence of the serious charges
preferred against her. Her votaries declin•
ed the investigation, a course utterly la
compatible ith innocency, and have forced
upon US the conviction THAT THE ACCUSA

together on Monday last, and settled a coml.

from the Parson to the Director, are all op
posed to the Education of the Poor man's
child—opposed to placing the children o
the poor, but honest laborer, upon an equal
ity, as respects learning, with the children
of the Nabobs of the land! If it receives its
deserts, the Muhlenberg ticket will not re

"Contents," see advertising columns. We
entirely concur with the Philadelphia Inqui•
rer in the following notice of the Museum:
The young gentlemen who spoke, all acquitted
themselves honorably and well; and where all done
well, it would be invidious to discriminate. If I may,
however, be pardoned for so doing, I would say, that
the address of Mr. EZRA KELLER, on "Conscience,"
or the "Moral Sense," struck me as being peculiarly
distinguished for sound reasoning, good sense, and
solid reflection. This remark is not intended to dis
mu age the others—all of whom did honor to them
selves and their Alma Mater. The other speakers
were Mr. Dale, of Lancaster, Pa. Latin Salutatory.
Mr. Shuman, of this place, on the Exact Sciences.—
Mr. Stevenson, of this place, on Modern Science.—
Mr. SilltVer, of Lebanon, Pa. German Oration on the
necessity of a good Education. Mr. Billie, of Mary
land, on Egypt; and the Valedictory Oration by Mr.
T. Storke, of North Carolina. Eight young gentle
men received the Degree of A. R; and the honorary
degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on the Rev.
Mr. I3ACIIMAN, of Cliarleston,South Carolina, and the
Rev. Mr. EINTNER, of Schoharie, New York.
On the whole, sir, I retired from the church more
than ever impressed with the conviction, that Penn
sylvania college is destined to act no secondary part
in the promotion of useful learning, sound science, and
practical piety.

Mn. EDITOR,
It is but right that something should be
said in reference to the Music at the me( nt
commencement of Pennsylvania College.
And I would avail myself of a place in sour
excellent panel., to express my sentiments,
and that of all who are susceptible of mu
sic's sweetest harmony. The selection of
the pieces manifested a taste of propriety,
highly creditable to Mr. HARDT. And the
execution receives sufficient eulogy, in the
delight that beamed upon every countenance,
during the performance. The universal ex
pression of satisfiiction from the assembly,
and from the many comPlimeidary and con
gratulatory speeches lavished upon the dis
tinguished Virtuoso, Mr. Hardt, has estab
lished his character as a musician, in the
estimation of the citizens. And I have no
doubt, that among a people so intelligent,
and so well qualified to appreciate the ex
cellence and dignity of music, as the citi
zens of Gettysburg, he will meet with abun
dant patronage, and.thus be long cOntinue&
a denizen of our beautiful and advancing
Borough. AMATOR MUSICES.
Our Senatorial Candidate.
Oho York Republican, speaking of
the merits of Mr. McComirx, our candidate
for Senator, says—
"He was brought up a FARMER—he
commenced life a poor man, but by active
industry, rigid, not parsimonious, economy,
and prudent enterprize, has gathered togeth
er a competence—the fruit of his own toil.
His talents are admitted by political oppo
nents to be fully adequate to the performance
of senatorial duty; and he is held in the high
est estimation, not only by his own immedi
ate neighborhood, but by every district of
York county, as proved by the great una
nimity with which he was nominated as a
candidate. Having always been a man of
business and a WORKING-MAN—having man
aged his own afliiirs prudently and prosper
ously, he :s specially qualified to perform
those duties with which he will be entrust- •
ed by the people of York and Adams coun
ties.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The 7wo Questions—The Newt Governor
—The Next President
The Albany Advertiser is evidently a
larmed at the increasing popularity of Gen.
Harrison, and assails him with as much bit
terness and malignity as it once assailed
Mr. Clay; or, to go further back, General
Jackson. The Arg us has cause for its ap
prehensions. Mr. Van Buren's prospects
are by no means as bright as they were a
few months since, and if the oppos,tion do
but pursue the proper course, all dill be well.
Judge White in the South—Gen. Harrison
in the West, and in Pennsylvania, N. York,
and New Jersey—Mr. Webster in the New
England States—and we have no fears of
the success of the convention candidate.—
Tennessee has just decided in favor of the
White candidate for Governor by an over
whelming vote—North Carolina is equally
certain for the opposition—the same may
be said of Virginia, South Carolina, Geer-
Maryland, Delaware, and Louisiana.
In the Western States, the popularity of
Gen. Harrison is sweeping every thing be
fore it. His friends may certainly count
upon Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, to say
nothing of Pennsylvania, and our neighbor,
New Jersey. The prospect, therefore, for
the opponents of the present dynasty, is by
no means discouraging; - and the election of
Ritner will give a new impetus to exertion.l
In rescuing the State from the hands of Go.
vernor Wolf and his band of office holders,
we will do much towards a Whig victory in
1836. The eyes of our brethren in all
nails of the Union are upon us, and the re
sults of the contest in October will be look
ed for with the most intense interest by eve
ry true friend of his country. The hopes
of the Whigs of the nation are excited—
they see that we have an opportunity of a
chieving a glorious victory. Shall we dis
appoint them? Shull we neglect the precious
opportunity? Let every man answer "No!"
through the ballot boxes.
A little while since, and a few of our
friends hesitated as to Mr. Ritner—had not
decided as to their course with regard to
him. We believe that but one spirit and
One feeling prevail now. All doubts have
subsided—all will unite together in one com
mon effort—all will RALLY to the support of
the Washington County Farmer! This
might have been expected. He is the only.
candidate in the field at all identified with
Whig principles—he is the only candidate
who can be supported by the Whigs with
any degree of propriety or consistency.—
The period of election is rapidly approach
ing. The second Tuesday of October is less
than a month in .futurity. Is it not time,
therefore, for our friends to exhibit a proper
degree of zeal and activity? Philadelphia
should conduct herself nobly in this contest.
The Whigs can, if they will but turn out,
give the Washington County Farmer an
overwhelming vote. Will they do To
suppose otherwise, would be to doubt their
fidelity to the cause. No true Whig will
neglect to vote at the approaching struggle.
No one will refuse to participate in a con-
test which promises to result so auspicious
ly for the constitution and the laws—for the
best interests of the country.

FROM EIIROP.E.
Interesting Intelligence from England and
France.
By the arrival at New York of he packet
ship United States, Capt. Holdridge, we
have highly interesting intelligence from
Europe. The dates from London are to
the eighth of August inclusive—from Paris
to the sixtn.
The . funeral of the Duke de Treviso, and
the other victims of ossassmation by the In
fernal Machine, was celebrated on the titth
ult., with great pomp. Terrible riots had
occurred at Barcelona in Spain. SeYeral
Convents were burnt and a numbot of lives
lost.
There was an alarming riot at Dublin on
the third of August. It grew out of the dis-
sent ions of the Orangemen and the Reform
ers. Between twenty and thirty Thousand
persons were assembled, ninny armed with
hludgeonsr, knives, pikes, stones, &c. Two
companies of the 99th regiment, and the
city horse and foot police were summoned,
and succeeded at length in quelling the dis.
turbance, but not until several persons were
severely wounded. Another account says
the assemblage could nut be short of sixty
thousanki.
A warm discussion • took place in the
House of Lords on the first, in relation to
the Corporation Bills—on the following day
it was decided by a majority of seventy,
that evidence should be heard against it.—
On the third, Lord Melbourne made a speech
in defence of the Bill, and moved that the
House go into committee upon it. The
Earl of Carnarvon moved us amendment,
that evidence be taken at the 'bar of the
House in support of the allegations in the
petitions. A warm debate ensued. Lord
Melbourne and the Marquis of LansdoWn
opposed the amendment, but it was carried,
contents 124, non•contents 54, majority a
gainst Ministers 7,0. On the seventh, the
[louse was occupied in hearing evidence.
The Morning Herald says,--"The ex
amination of witnesses at the bar of the
house of Lords places in a disadvantageous
light a considerable portion of the evidence
collected by the commissioners. Much of
the time consumed by that body of learned
persons, as far as may be gathered from the
testimony of the witnesses already exami
ned, was consumed in gleaning statements,
and too often hearsay evidence, from per
sons admitted to be the adversaries of the
corporations, and sometimes not to the pres- . 1
ence of the public. Nearly the wlwle of
what may be termed "general observations,"
in the shape of censure or complaint, which
the close of each report presents, has been
impugned by witnesses: such is the case as
to Norwich, Bristol, Conveptry;
rOugh, Grantham, and many, other places."
• The second division of recruits from Ire
land had arrived in Spain, The Royal Tar,
steamer, arrived at Plymouth on Friday
evening from Spain, with 20 invalids( from
the force recently landed at St. Sebastians.
Upwards of 2000 men from Britain have
already arrived at St. Sebastians, and a body
of 800 were to proceed on service when the
Royal Tar left. The Edinburgh, steamer,
mounting 12 guns, was cruising off St. So
bast inns.
The Cholera was making dreadful rava
ges nt Marseilles. The number of cases on
the 28th July was 321, of which more than
half terminated fatally; it is now apprehen

Accounts from Madrid state that it had
been resolved in a Council of Ministers that
the Government should publicly dispose of
aide hundred convents, the proceeds to be
applied to the redemption of the debt, with
out interest:
The Kings ofSardinia and Naples, and
some of the other Italian princes, were a
bout to hold a conference at Genoa.
The produce of the cotton crop of Egypt
the last year amounted to 250,000 quintals.
It is stated that great sensation has been
caused at Berlin, by the Morganatic mar
riage of Prince Augustus to Miss Ostrowskv,
daughter of a Major, a Pole, in the Prussian
service. The Prince was born in 1799.
The lady is very young and very beautiful.
The Greek Admiral Miaulis, died June

The obstacles to the navigation of the

It is stated that Lord Auckland is to be

that the Earl of Minto or the Marquis of

An important and decisive measure has
been adopted by the French Ministryfound
ed upon the late attempt upon the life of the
King,---nothing less than a new code of laws
for the regulation Of the press. It was pre
sented to the Chamber of Deputies, on the
fourth of August, by the Preside ct of the .
Council.
All the arrested editors were set at liber
ty on the 4th. The real name of the as
sassin has been ascertained to be Joseph

The following list of pensions and dona

was also presented to the chamber.
A pension of 20,00 . 0 fr. to the widow of
Marshal Monier, with a inversion to her
son. A pension of 6,000 francs to Madame
