JAMES C. WATSON.
Gettysburg, March 22, 1838.
Br. Burden.
Co-Our LocO Foco friends aro much shocked at the
Anti-Masons in the Senate for voting fur this gentle
man for Speaker in preference to Mr. Leet.
The Anti-Masons had no candidate. They had to
choose between a liberal Mason, who zealously sup
ports the State Administration and opposes the en
croachments of the General Government upon tho
rights, interests and prosperity of the State—and a
proscriptive Jack,who opposes the State Administra
tion and aids in the warfare against the prosperity of
the Commonwealth by the Genefil Government and
its salaried minions. Tho Anti• Masons had thus to
choose, or withhold their votes and let the candidate
of the Destmctives succeed. This would have been
unwise. They therefore voted for Dr. Burden, who
continuos. with them in support -of those mews-
Me Calculated to advance the Interests and protect
the rights of the State, whilst Mr. Leet supports all
the measures of the Van Boren Loco Focal.
It is true the Doctor did not support the bill prohi
biting the administration of extraluircial oaths; but
hear his rcasous:
During the discussion on that bill,Mr. Darden said,
The gentleman from Chester bad said that if
this bill passed it would put down Antimasonry.
(Mr. JAMES explained. He did not say it would
put down Antimasonry—he sae! it would he one
of the means to effect that end.) Mr. D. continu•
ed.—lf it be one of the means to put it down, he
would not support the bill, because he did not want
to put down Antimasonry. He wanted it to con
tissue. So long as its administration was as good
as it had been thus far, HE WOULD HO HAND IN
lIAND WITH THE ANTI MASONIC PAHTT. He did
not wish to see it put down.
Ftracily!
(0-The Compiler copies articles from that vera
cious print, the Harrisburg Key-Stone, about the ap
pointment of unrenouncing Masons to office by Gov.
Kutner. Of the character of those articles for truth,
may be inferred when we inform the reader that Mr
Midi, whose name appears to the following renunci
aticn. is one of the "unrenouncing masons" referred
to by the Key• Stone:
HARRISBURG, Feb. 14, 1835.
GENTLEMEN.—Wo have received your
note of the 14th instant, and cheerfUlly re
ply to it as we should hitherto have done to
a communication of similar candor from any
of our respectable neighbors.
You gentlemen, who know us personally,
will believe us when we say that YEARS AGO
we ceased to have ANY CONNECTION
with the order of Masonry; if indeed men
who, like us, were never in a lodge oftener
than a few times, can be said to have had
any practical masonry about them. We
took a few degrees; took no such interest in
it, as oven to learn its rites or object; and
BROKE FROM IT with afixed determin•
fliioll NEVER TO RETURN. It is very
certain we •hall remain dissolved from it
FOR EVER. Such is in stiort,and to truth
the beginning and end of our connexion with
this mysterious Institution. Of course it is
not in our power to give you new informa
tion concerning it.
The oaths of the order were understood
by us to mean honorable engagements.—
They were represented to us as parts of
speculative rites, not binding in a literal
sense; and were distinctly impt;eSsed upon
us as not holding us to a course of conduct
in any manner repugnant to the laws of
God or the municipal laws of our country.
Yet on reflection, we considered them 013-
JECTION A B LE, as calculated to BI AS
some men in their relations of life, who
might construe there as BINDING against
the HIGHER DUTIES of citizens towards
one another. And TH IS was our STRONG
EST MOTIVE FOR ABANDONING
,MASONRY in the earliest stages of our
progress.
We can say further, that in our opinion
masonry is not worth preserving—certainly
not worth the sacrifice of individual well be.
ing and public tranquility, necessary to sus
tain it, especially as it can effect nothing
useful to society that other institutions of,
the country do not supply.. And in this view

0:74i great meeting of the friends of RITNER
was held in Philadelphia on the 19th instant.—
"I H OUSANDS wore in attendance! There is no

The Presidency.
cCrWe observe that the Whigs of Philadelphia
at their greet Rimer meeting,havo expressed k tbeir
preference for Mr. CLAY as a candidate for the
Presidency. To this wo have no objection.' The
Whigs can support him with perfect consistency.
But his Indiana letter, um itecANTse, renders it
impossible for the Anti-Masons to do so. And it
is worthy of consideration whether the Whigs
can succeed without our aid.
We make these suggestions without intending,
at present, to agitate the question.
The School Law.
jFrom the following letter it will be seen that
Hamilton township has accepted of the School

Mn. MIDDLETOIC:—The result of the election
for Hamilton township, held on yesterday,is as fol

In favor of adopting the common school
system 91 votes.
Against the adoption of the same 72 votes.
The following persons were elected school direc

Thomas Ehrhart 91 votes.
Henry Carpenter , 91 : "
William Wolf 91
George L. Fauss . 91 "
Whole number of votes polled, one hundred and
seventy one; by far the largest vote ever polled in

LOVE Locxs.—A very old fashion seems
to have been revived among our modern
"blades;" no more or less than the wearing
of a long lock of hair on the left temple, or
rather, by the majority, on each temple.—
This
was the prevailing fashion in the reign
of James. 1., and the ladies gave to it the
name of the "love lock," as they often clipt
off a lock as a keepsake of love. The fash
ion expired with Charles I. to be revived
during the popular reign of Victoria.
Death by Lightning.--Mr. Joseph Hislop

The New York American of Wednesday

COMPROMISE.-it is rumoured thnt Mr.
Van Buren having distinctly ascertained that
he cannot carry his Sub•Trensr.ry Bank, is
willing to compromise by taking the notes
ofspecie paving Banks, provided a Receiver
General is appointed. This project origi
nally had two objects to achieve—one was
to give the Executive an entire control over
the public money,the other was the appoint
ment of a batch of Receivers and Govern
ment stipendiaries. The whole "experi•
ment" ought to be abandoned at once.
DEATH OF MR. BOWDITCII, TILE AMERI
CAN ASTRONOMER.-1I is with tegret we
notice the death at Boston of the celebrated
American Astronomer N ATHA NI EL
BOW DITCH, afier a lingering illness of
some weeks. He was born at Salem, Mas-
sachusetts, March 26, 1773—aged there-
fore 63. The profound knowledge of astron
omical and nautical science evinced in nu•
merous useful publications of this gentleman,
which are in the hands of every navigator,
and which have spread his reputation into
eery sea and country, are a practical and
authentic proof of his eminent ability and
merit, and reflect an enduring lustre upon
the fame of his country. It was left for
America to furnish a Bowditch who could
faithfully interpret the great •vork of the
Mecanique Celeste of La Place, which the
Edinburgh Review said not twelve men in
Europe could understand.
The large Stabling attached to the tavern
of Mr. JEREMIAH SNIDER, sen., and the ex

The Philadelphia papers speak in terms

be mentioned the wise policy purstied by
Pennsylvania in upholding her banking in

which the merchants tire enabled t. effect
what they are doing.-Bolt. American:
MULBERRY Tnkes.-4t appears by letters
from Fiance, that the great and increasing
demand for the morns multieaulis, from the
United States, has produced a scarcity in
France—the supply having be-•n chiefly
drawn, hitherto, from that kingdom. The
cultivation of the mulberry and the raising
of the silkworM seem to be extending in the
United States to a degree which promises
to make silk one of the most important pro
ducts of this country.
The extent to which counterfeiting has
been carried MI in O t tio may be int , •rred fruit,
the liict that since June last, the U. S. M

8(162,000 of counterfeit bills which were in
readiness, but hod never been put into cir•

twenty six arrests, and captured three pres

SOUTHERN LITERARY M ESSENCER.—The

an able and excellent paper on "the influence
of MORALS, on th►e happiness of man, and the
stability of social institutions." Cunning's
"Knife Grinder" (with a hat in version) is al
so one of the gems which adorn the present
number of the Messenger, and which, as a
I..sson in political morals, is worth a whole
volume.—Baltimore Pat.
A fire recently occurred at Holley Springs,
Miss. which consumed Fourieen business

a tram of cars, which with their loads, ex

two hundred and thirty•seven tons.
FLORIDA WAR.—GENERAL JESUP has
written a very curious letter to the Secre
tary of War, in which, after stating that it is
impossible to drive the Indians from the
Territory, ho suggests that they should be
allowed to remain—upon the express condi
tion, however, that if they commit any de.
predations upon the persons or property of
the WhiHS, THEY SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY
REMOVED, WHICH CAN BE EASILY
EFFECTED!! Is the General an Irish
man? This is not the first blunder he has
made.
ROTATION.-Our Pennsylvania neigh
bors are diligently showing up the barefaced
bargain between the Executive and Ex
Governor Wolf. There never was a case
of more glaring corruption, and withal man.
aged in such a bungling manner. They
should have given Mr. WOLF a higher price
in orner icrin - nucer-mm- to - tarry in Washing
ton till some time after Mr. Munx,ENnuno
had be6n sent away. Any man can under.
stand intuitively the whole procedure. The
zeal with which charges of bargain and cor
ruption were rung in our ears some years a
go will be remembered. Those calumnies
had their effect. Can then such a shallow
intrigue as that in regard to WOLF and MuiE
LENBUItO escape the censure of the Ameri

A DVERTISEMENII;S:
ANTI-IYEASONIC COUN
TY MEETING.
Tif I.; Democratic Anti Alase.ns of Ad
otos County are requested to asscro
bin in COUNTY MEETING,st the Court house
in Gettyfiburg,
on 'Monday Ike 23d or.f/prit
next, al 1 o'clock P. at
to take into cot sideration measures for the promo
tion of the good of the State, and to secure the tri
umphant re election of the FARMER GOVER
NOR over his Masonic aristocratic competitor, Da
vid R. Porter.
The Democratic A nti•Masoniccilizens of Penn
sylvania have at length, in the nomination of the
last trained gentleman, a high and adhering Mason,
by the Masonic Van Buren party, the issue fairly
and avowedly made up between Masonry and De
mocracy, and tendered to them by the party which
has long, under the cloak of the latter,been secretly
and is now openly supporting and defending the
former. It is hoped that the Anti-Masons of Ad.
ems will boldly and fearlessly meet the issue and
show the dignitaries of Masonry that they are still
erect and uncompromising as ever in their devotion
to the laws and their hostility to all secret combi
nations against them. Let every Anti-Mason be
at his post,and let as many as can attend the Coun
ty meeting on the 23d of April next, so that there
may be a full interchange of sentiment and opin
ion, and those measures be adopted best calculated
to secure the success of the cause of the people.
