In the initiation, the Noble• Grand asks the inside' Guardian his duty; mid an answer is made. In the charge book there is a question to the out side Guardian by the Noble Grand, and an answer; : but not common to use it. Just as the-I:wiper persons go to the ante room to bring in a candidate. the Noble Grand says: "Brother Vice-Grand, I give you charge of the lodge during initiation." In the second degree, the cry of distress Is not just as published. It is in-the book, "Give heed, 0 ye heavens;" but if I recol lect right, it is "Give ear, 0 ye heavens."

When you were initiated into the first degree, how were you prepared as re gards clothing, and how led into the lodge! State particularly the method of initiation. In what posture were you when you took the oath? No. 2. Did you ever know any Masons call upon their brother Masons to support candidates for office, and alledged as an in ducement, that they were brother Masons? No. 3. State particularly any filets or knowledge within your own experience, of the political effects of Masonry. No. 4. State whether there is any difThr ence in the preparation for the different do. grees, and if so, what that difference is. In answer to the first and foUrth of the foregoing questions, your respondent would refer the committee to Barnard's Light. on Masonry, for a full answer to the said ques tions, according to the best of his under standing. In answer to the second and third ques- tions, your respondent could not say as to the political influence Masonry may have had with others, but can positively say as to himself, that it never had any with him. Your respondent professes to be a demo crat; and upon all occasions has supported (according to his views,) democratic princi. pies; and upon all occasions supported men for the different offices, whom he thought would carry out those nAnciples, without paying any regard to Masonry, and without considering himself hound in anywise to sup. port a Mason. 1 have heard language used, - but cannot say what influence it had. I cannot remem • ber now the time and place. It has occur red on two or three occasions. After much has been said in behalf of a candidate for of. Lice, a further statement is made that they (the candidates) are Masons, or were Ma sons. I know not what the object was. Question by Mr. Spackman. How did you know that these persons were Masons? Ans. Either by being in the lodge with, them, or being informed by persons I knew to be Masons that they were Masons. Question by the same.

How. ever, he begged a gentleman who was sitting near him to pull hem by the coat when he perceived he was becoming exhausted. Mr. Madison rose and opened his speech —his voice was feeble at first, it became stronger as ho progressed—passage after passage of brilliant and illuminating thought came from his almoSt inspired lips; every point of the great subject ho touched upon, he left for men of all future lime to look up on as if he had blown the clouds from the summit of the hills,—he went on, and con cluded: "Why," said he, as he sunk back exhausted in his chair, "why did you not, pull me when you saw me go on as I did."

On obtaining a closer view, we found that she was perfect in all her parts and that her hull rested upon a material very much of the color of the dark blue wave, which was, itself, supported by an elegantly gilt clock.

If it be true, that History is most corrupted in despotic States, these matchless perfor mances in that sort of History which may be entitled "the Parasitical," fix the degree of Despotism prevailing among us as unparal leled.

MORE GOLD.—The Sylvia do Grasse, arrived at New Yolk from Havre, brought 1,462,000 francs in gold, consigned to Geo- Newhold,(Bank of America;) 403,707 francs gold, and 600,000 francs silver td J. Cow- , perthwaite, (Bank of the United States,) and 20,000 francs to De Cham & Moore— amounting in all to nearly five hundred thou sand dollars. The Philadelphia Ledger, in commenting upon the extraordinary trial of Robinson, makes the following remarks: "Unfortunately for virtuous women, while they hunt down the frail of their own sex with the ferocity of tigers, barring forever against them the door to amendment, and driving them to perpetual sin through the torture of perpetual dishonour, they regard with an eye of tender. forgiveness, and toe often of secret exultation, the abominable perfidies, the blasting, withering, soul.des troying treacheries of men. Instead of re coiling from the seducer as from the touch of pollution, they exult in his preference and glory in a conquest of him." DESERTION BY WIIOLE SALE.—The Tal lahassee Floridan, of the 9th inst. contains a reward of $930, offered by Major R. M. Sands for the apprehension of 31 U. S. sol diers who deserted from camp Concord near Tallahassee on 4th inst. ANECDOTE.—Tho Philadelphia Saturday Courier says: A Mrs. Neely carried her child, aged three years, to Dr. Williams, Occulist, on Saturday last,in a state of blind-, ness and great suffering in both eyes, which• had been her situation, more or less, night and day,for several months. An hour after wards the father called at the house and asked if there was not a blind child here, brought by her mother, an hour since. The doctor informed Mr. Nerdy there was not then any blind child in the house,yet invited him into the back drawinr , room, whore, to. his astonishment, he saw his child playing with her mother and sister, and apparently. entirely free from pain! The New Bedford Gazette snys,—"The• revenue cutter M'Lnno, Capt. Wm. A. How ard, has received orders from the Secretary of the Treasury, to proceed forthwith in his cutter to New Orleans, and report himself for duty to the Collector of that port. The cause of this movement we cannot divine, unless it be the threatening aspect of the re lations between Mexico and the U. States."

It is said that the Governor of Kentucky has, in compliance with the requisition of General Gaines, issued hisprociamatton for 1000 volunteers. The Albany Journal observes,7-"The manifestations of public sentiment as exhib ited by the toasts given at the celebration of tho 4th ofJuly, throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and, indeed, in most of the Statesof the Union, are of the most gratify ing character.

A force) loan of 02,000,000 is to be raised im mediately,for the support of the Texian war, i and we are fearful we shall be compelled to contribute our quote." The Norristown Herald states that a "clergyman was imprisoned in Doylestown, on Sunday morning last, charged with mur• der. He is from the upper end of Bucks county." According to the Augustine Herald, Lieut. Wheelock, who distinguished himself in the battle in which Colonel Heileman behaved so handsome!y,died by his own hand; having .in a delirium produced by a fever brought on by his exposure, shot himself with a pis tol. A woman was committed to prison in New York, on Tuesday last, on a charge of having murdered her own child, an infant eleven months old. Cunious CASE.—The Paris Correspon dent of the Albany Advertiser writes,—"ln July next, a curious case will be brought before the tribunal of first instance of Paris. M. Naunderff, who has resided a long time in Prussia, where he worked as a clock ma ker, has undertaken to invalidate the obitu ary act of Louis XVII, dated Bth June 1795, and to prove himself to be Charles Louis, the Dauphin of France and son of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette. Inquiries have been making by order of the French govern ment to discover the family and birth place of this supposed imposter in Prussia, but until now they have led to no satisfactory result. It has been ascertained that M. Naundorfi' had arrived in Prussia in 1810; that he enjoyed, during two years, the rights of citizenship in Spandau, and that he mar ried in Berlin, in 1818, without being able to produce a certificate of his birth. The demise of the real Dauphin, in the. prison of the Temple,isany thing hut well established, and the uncertainty prevailing with regard to M. Naunderffs origin, promises at any rate some very interesting disclosures." Gag Law. The Van Buren Convention a Harrisburg passed a resolution approving of Mr. V. B.'s vote in relation to the bill for examining the contents of the mail and for authorizing Post Masters to withhold incendiary letters and papers. Such a resolution, it might be pre. sumed, would have been silently laid on the table; but not so with this convention, they must go the whole hog. It was not enough to resolve in fayour of Van Buren alone, they must approve of his darkest faults. One year ago, such a resolution would not have been treated with even common civility.— The following letter from the Hon. Wm. Slade, member of Congress from Vermont, gives an example of the manner in which such a law would operate, if carried out.— Will these things be overlooked when the people are asked to support V. B. with their suffrages? Is it not the duty of ALL good citizens to arouse when the rights of ONE are violated?—Vi loge Record. WASHINGTON, June 13, 1836. "Soon after I delivered my speech on Slavery in December last, I received a let ter from a stranger in Virginia, who I have since learned, is a reputable citizen of that State—speaking in terms of approbation of the speech so far as he had seen a sketch of it in the papers, and freely communicated to me his views on the subject of slavery, with various facts concerning its operation in that slate. 1 replied to his letter, and at the same time sent him a pamphlet copy of the'speech. Some time atter this I received another letter from him, stating that the speech had reached his Post Office, and had been destroyed by the Post Master as an incendiary publication—and what was worse, that my letter had also been destroy ed! He addressed the Post Master General on the subject; but his letter received no attention, as he had in fact no right to ex pect it would, after the course taken by the Post Master General last fall, and the policy on the subject developed by the administra• tion at the opening of the present Congress."

It shews (what the rebel Masons have often denied) the POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF ASONRY. Rend the evidence ofJACOR MECULING, Esq. a highly respectable gen tleman, for many years a Member of the Legislature, and then deny, if you can, the powerful effect of Masonry at the Polls; and in the Legislative Halls. Indeed its effect on legislation, was most conclusively de monstrated last winter in this very Investi. gation. Masons—whether Whigs or To. rics, Jackson or Anti Jackson, Harrison or Van Buren—all voted to allow the Lodge to trample on the Law! Ave! so powerful was it that every Jack, of whatever hue,and even some Skin-deep Anti-Masons, as well as all moral Anti-Masons, were seduced or terrified into the support of the Lodge! Ur. SCHUYLER'S testimony is also impor tant. He is a gentleman of high character and intelligence. The Pork Gazette.

We shall however stop the exchange as re quested with great pleasure; neither the breeding nor talents of the Editors will ren der the parting sorrowful to us. Serpent Like! O :!) - The creeping things who form the present State Anti-Masonic Committee ap pointed by the famous December Conver.- tion, have issued a notice for a Western Harrison Convention! Rot one word is said in it about Anti-Masonry!! Not a word a bout taking means to promote the principles of that cause! No—that is to give way to Harrtsonism! The sole object expressed is to promote the election of Harrison. How perseveringly, and yet how insidiously, how like dastards this traitorous Committee labor to extinguish Anti• Masonry! This is the second attempt of the kind which has ap peared in their circulars. Did James Todd pen it, or the State Treasurer, or some oth er of the Cabinet? Pennsylvanians, Look here! "T,i QUESTION OF DISTRIBUTION.—This topic has been touched in several articles in tho Globe, during a few days absence of the senior Editor. It is proper that the views thus indicated,as those which will direct the course of this print upon a subject of paramount interest, should bo marked most distinctly. "This question will hereafter discriminate par tieß, as the tariff, the bank, the system of internal improvements, have heretofore done." * * * "Against this projected renewal of the Ameri can system, the Republican party, wo trust, will be found united." * * * "The labors of the opposition to transform the deposite act into an act of distribution, must be mot and counteracted. It will be counteracted by the very array of parties which the new ground taken by the federal party necessarily produce." * is * * .'The result of this measure thon,we trust, will be au immediate reduction of the revenue to the present actual wants of the Government." OK' - We take the above extracts from the Washingtcin Globe of the 23d ult. That paper is known to express the views Jf Mr- VAN BUREN. its party principles are the principles of the Van Buren party, and they must adopt them or be denounced. Here then it is distinctly announced that the dis tinguishing feature of the Van Buren party is to be Opposition to the distribution of the Surplus Revenue among the States; and an immediate reduction of the Tarif, so as to produce no more revenue than is wanted for the expenses of the General Government. Pennsylvania is to be deprived of the 84,- 000,000 per year which she gets under the Deposite Bill; and the Manufacturing inter ests of this country are to be sacrificed to Europe, by reducing the Tariff! Will Pennsylvania—will one citizen of this great State be found so recreant to her interests as to follow such a party? If she does, Taxation and Ruin will full justly upon her. What! Surrender our noble systems of Internal Improvethents and Free Schools —those blessings of the Rich and Poor—to sustain a vile and reckless party? The lash, well laid on, on the bare back, by their task Masters, would be a fit reward for such blind and slavish subserviency! Behold what elpostacy: CC:7 - SuAmE, shame! Eternal infamy upon the base, recreant, apostate Anti-Masons, who are attempting to merge our principles, party,and name, in another lifeless, h9peless party—a party doomed to a perpetual mi nority! Look at the base call signed by the Coun ty Committee of Wi4hington county. It avowedly gives up distinctive political Anti- Masonry, and says, "the Whigs have been with the Anti-Masons and deserve to share in the honors of the victory!" Here is Todd- ism for you! The exact language need by him in the traitorous December Convention. "Have been with us!" Why do they not go with us as Anti-Masons if they wish to share the honors and the glory of the victo ry? What honor does an Anti-Masonic Committee speak of, except the honor of the triumph ofour principles? Do they mean the honor of the "Spoils?" Doubtlessly they do. Such Anti-Masons cannot may to the honor of principle! Similar calls dis grace Juniata, York and many other counties. Let those who are sanctioning such proceedings BEWARE. Virtuous Anti- Masons cannot be deceived,and will not sub mit to such baseness. . We say again, let those who grasp for POWER without regard to PRINCIPLE, know that such conduct will soon wrest the scep tre from their hands. They are too pollu ted to hold it! oz:7 - How foolishly and how treacherously those Anti Masons behave here and in other States who support Van Buren! Can they not remain neutral and preserve their prin ciples from corruption for a single election? How impatient are politicians to prove their own want of sincerity!

That no Districts shall be entitled for the present, to receive their distributive shares of the current year's appropriation, except such as were affirmative accepting Districts,in the proper joint meeting of dele gates and commissioners, held on the second day of Muy last,or as shall entitle themselves to the privileges of accepting Districts, for the school year 1837, by complying with the 20th section of said act: And 2d. That the voting in the proper joint meeting afore said, by each of the affirMative Districts for, and the levying thereon of an amount of school tax, sufficient to entitle such District to its portion of the then existing state ap propriation of $75,000, will be sufficient to entitle it to a distributive share of the pres ent year's state appropriation of $200,000. And whereas, It is proper and necessary that such part of the current year's appro priation, as may be due to accepting Dis tricts, should be paid over to their respective Treasurers, with as little delay as may be, (the residue to remain in the State Treasu ry, for the use of non-accepting Districts,or till otherwise disposed of according to law.)
