ftnti-fULioomc jBqwtUcan. Our foreign intelligence continues to lm very interesting. A spirit is abroad in Europe that will, inevitably, dash to the earth the mitres and crowns of despotism, and regenerate tlm land from tlm thraldom in which it lias long been held. Tlm spark which has lit tip tlm fire of freedom in Europe, was caught from our own land, and if will hurn up, throughout the civilized world, the tin ones and sceptres tjrani.

George Witlierell of Hartford, Y. a seceding Knight Templar. Tlm assassins ere frustrated in their attempt, by the absence of Elder ithereli from home. They entered the Irouse in dead of night, nnd proceeded immediately to the hed-rootn where Mrs. Withered! was slipping, and as they entered the loom otic of them exclaimed, now yon perjured rascal vie will inflect upon yon the pcnnlty of your violated obligation.

They were disguised one of them had a datk lantern, and the other a large butcher'd i life in his hand. Meetings have been held in tlm towns of Hartford and Fwrt-Ann, on the subject committees of investigation have been appointed, nnd a ievvaf'1 of $250, offered by the citizens oUtlie latter town. Four persons have made iihidnvits confirming the above statement. We are frank to say, that we are incredulous on this subject. We do not think it probable, or possible, that any mail or men could he found so devoid of common sense, or so hlood-tlnrsty in their dispositions, as to undertake the commission, at the present time, of an outrage so atiocions as the one above mentioned.

Whatever may be the result of tlm matter wc shall endeavor to give true history of it next week. Wo have received the fcsl number of the Spirit of the Times, published at Bridgeport, Connecticut, by E. W. Suiitliy Jr. It is an imperial sheet, and in its appearance nnd in the, manner in which it is conducted, it is worthy of all praise.

It is anti-masonic, and is tlm only ope, besides tlm Hartford Intelligencer, which dare cay any thing it regard to the principles and crimes of masonry. Wo hid our brother God speed. It is rather amusing to hear some of the N. York papers talk about Francis Granger, as the National Republican candidate for Governor. How Will whipped them, said lim Jackass to tlm Lion, after the Lion Lad fought the Imttle, while tlm Jackass stood and brayed through fear.

Why do not these National Republicans, instead of claiming Granger ns their candidate, come ont-r-ncknnw dodge him to lie the anti-masonic candidate, and support hull because ho is the best man, which every person of sense knows. There would he honesty and frankness in such a course, but the other dues them no good, while it has a tendency to injure the anti-inasouic par: ty. The anti-rnusnns light on their own hook, and woe to the party or parties thnt array themselves against them To-morrow dm Legislature meets. It is rumored that Neman Jlllen, tlm twaddler, is to he supported by the masonic party, in the Legislature, for Governor, instead! of Crafts. Such measure would he too barefaced we do not believe it.

Let the anti-masotiic representatives go for tkeir own candidate. MASONIC LOl'iE Solomon Souihwirk and Myron Holly are public defaulters, therefore masonry is not revealed the masons never killed Morgan, and anti-masonry is a grent humbug. Ed waul Livingston, General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the United States, is a public defaulter to the amount of $300,000, therefore masonry is ncientific, benevolent, and religious institution, and every one who opposes it is nit office-seeker, broken down politician, at.il great scoundrel. Solomon and St. John were masons; therefore Chesebro, Lawson, Bruce and Sawyer, are innocent men, and were governed by purely conscientious motives in kidnapping Morgan.

Anti-masonry is federalism in disguise; therefore Pennsylvania will he the first State to go anti-masonic. Anti-masonry is designed to help Henry Clay into the Presidency; therefore the Clay pitpers in Vermont are tlm most hitter against ami-masons and nt.ti-mnsonry. What do you think of your login, brother Bonz, when put to paper? Does it not prove that your institution is a scicn-lifc one The editor of the Burlington Free Press, for two weeks past, has attempted to say something smart with regard to the subject of masonry and anti-masonry. He deals, bow ever, so much in mysticism, that it is difficult to understand precisely wliat stand lift means to take upon the question. In oim paper he acknowledges that facts, within Ids knowledge, convince Dim that masonry has a political influence of no salutary idiaracter, and makes a very calamitous o)mu to the fraternity to do something for their weeping country, who implores them with streaming eyes and ut-slrelclted hands to save her from approaching and inevitable ruin.

In tlm same paper lie has, moreover, some (link thrusts at the leaders of anti-masonry, and represents them as choosing rather to reign in he'd titan serve in heaven, and charges them also, with endeavoring to excite a tempest among the people in order that they may make use of it for selfish purposes. We say he aimed these insinuations at the leaders of anti-masonry, because ve are at a loss to know what the meaning of his language was, if it was not that. In Iris last paper he comes out rather more boldly, hut still shrouds himself in some very peculiar and somewhat indefinite tropes about weto lights, and whim whams." We have heretofore and do now emertniti a proper respect for Mr. Foot as a man of talents and independence, lint wo confess that we are very much at aloss to account for his late indecisive aud wavering course, Let him come out and say definitely where he is, if he limans to preserve his reputation for independence. 1 he Ostriches of Norwich aro in trouble! Their own party has been defeated, and broken down beyond the hope of recovery and wliat is worse to the poor creatures, ami-masonry, which their primary object was to oppose, when they established their paper, is like to dish them in spite of all their efforts.

They accordingly make all sorts of wry faces," ami swear ariti-triansonry is federalism, and then swear it is designed to support masonry nnd Henry Clay; and then give themselves the lie, by declaring that the nnti-niusons design to nominate Daniel Webster for the Presidency. They are in a had way certainly We pity them they run about shouting one thing and another about the miti-tna-sons, and all the notice they get from tlm people is, we know bctler." We would just inform them, by the way, that the Col. Wattnougb, about whom limy have so much anxiety, is an anti-mason, instead of a sworn brother of tlm mystic tie. Tlm committee which reported on tho state of tlm Press in ti.e United States Convention, put down FOUR anti-masonic papers in Vermont. We have heretofore reckoned five, hut we suspect the committee had some suspicious us to tlm real character of our brother of the Vermont Statesman.

It is almost too had to leave him out, for he continues to make anrh masons yet, though lie is striving very hard to tm-make those he had been instrumental in hinging to light. It is very difficult business to do that. An anti-mason from principle changctli not. Anti-Masonry Dead. The Vermont Advocate snis tlmt it is authorised to say that Mr.

Elisha Bigelow, and Mr. Elijnh Crane say, they secede from anti-masonry. Oh, utitl Alas! Tle convention, winch adjourned mtuu Wornmg, re-assembled at four oclock in afternoon, Mr. Whittlesey moved a resolution, authorizing the national committee of cor-respondcce to open a correspondence with candid members of the fraleniitily on the subject of bet-masonry, and to publish -their answers with their consent. A motion to strike out the word candid, was lost.

Mr. Stevens objected to the resolution. It would lead to controversy, and that was not the object of the convention. Mr. Whittlesey 6aid, it seemrd to be forgotten that the members of the masonic fraternity were members of civil sncieiy.

Many of them had the same, or nearly the same, views on the subject, with those entertained by anti-masons and lie entertained a strong hope that the correspondence contemplated would elicit much good, and would induce many masons to surrender their allegiance to the fraternity. He was in favor of saving them. Mr. Stevens thought there was more in the resolution than met the eye. The mernhers of the convention had gone far enough in putting their names to a most able address to the people of the'United States, in wliieh the fraternity were generally and affectionately invited to come out from among them.

Anti-masonry Mood on broad ground and he was opposed to engaging ill any particular correspondence with any individual in the fia-ternity. He thought it would degrade the cause. lie seemed to think it impolitic to give office-seeking masons a chance of thus promoting their selfish views. Mr. Bouleau expressed the same views.

Mr. Slade was in favor of the resolution. The masons; he thought, would he very soon flocking to the standard of anti-masonry; and- he was not afraid to correspond with them, and to treat them as men and fellow citizens. Many states had no anti-masonic presses. New Hampshire, Maine, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia, were in this situation.

Ho was for holding out the right hand of fellowship to r.iasons; He wished to save them. Although he desired and expected to see the institution eradicated from the face of the earth, he was not for making war upon its members. Mr. Irwin agreed with his colleague from Pennsylvania, that there was more in this resolution than met the eye. This was not the way which anti-masons in Pennsylvania hail met the fraternity, lie made a number of other remarks.

Mr. Seward said, lie thought the two gentlemen from Pennsylvania had suffered themselves to lie excited into an unne-i essary fever on this subject. No one who knew the zeal and labors of the mover of this resolution, could suspect that in offur-mg it, ho was governed by sinister designs. In Ncw-York, and in the eastern Mates, such an interchange of sentiments with candid niHsoim was a favorite mode of promoting the cause of anti-masonry. Mr.

Hanna, of Ohio', objected to the resolution. Mr. Phelps could not for a moment doubt tho motives of any member of this convention in moving any proposition. He had full confidence in the national committee of correspondence and lie moved tho reference of the resolution to that committee. Mr.

Whittlesey withdrew the resolution. Mr. Maynard, from the tommiiteo on th6 effjet- of frce-ninsonry on the Christian religion, reported the following resolution, which, with a report subsequently reported, was adopted Resolved, That this convention are impressed with a belief, that free-mnsotiry exerts dangerous influence upon the Christian religion, afferting thereby the dearest interests and highest hopes of man and they respectfully invite all professing Christians, of every denomination, to investigate tlint subject, in full confidence thnt iis importance, and their own sense of duty, will prompt them ton cheerful compliance with this request. Mr. llollcy, of New-York, after sotno remarks on the subject of the events now taking place in France, submitted the following resolution, which was adopted.

Resolved, That the estimate, which anti-masonry places upon the rights of election, and tho liberty of the press, as the two main pillars in the temple of our liberties, is established undeniably by every puge of our own history, and most strikingly illustrated by the lute revolution in France. On motion of Mr. Slade, a resolution vos adopted with a view to the raising of fund for the gratnitimts distribution of publications on the subject of freemasonry. A resolution was adopted for the publication of tlm whole proceedings of the convention, including, of course, the several official reports of commutes on resolutions referred to them. Mr.

Hopkins slated, that they would probably be stereotyped. On motion of Mr. Terry, Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this convention he presented to the honorable Francis Granger, for the nhlo, faithful and dignified manner in which lie lias presided over its deliberations. Mr. Granger made hi-.

Acknowledgments a fovv very impressive and eloquent remarks, in the course of which he said that the duties of the chair had been rendered light by the magnanimous conduct of the convention, and by the correct deportment of the citizens of this confessedly polished city, who had attended its deliberations. The thanks of tlm convention were also voted to the Vico Presidents and Secretaries. The convention, after prayer from the Rev. Mr. P-entard, adjourned, sine die.

the church and a man who had been honored with various civil offices, declare that the book was a lie and contained not a word of truth, I threw it aside. In tiie winter following, I had repeated conversations with masons ot good standing in the fraternity, all of whom united their testimony that the book was a cheat and an imposition upon the community, c'ontaining none of the secrets of masonry. One, in particular, was very strong und explicit in his denial of its truth and very profuse in his encomiums upon the institution, assuring me it would benefit me much in various ways and giving me Webbs Moni-torwith all its high sounding and bloa-trd pretensions, as a true representation of its sublime aud heavenly character. I was also directly and indirectly solicited, at different times by different persons, to connect myself ith the fraternity. To one individual, these conversations, I said if masonry is wliat it is represented in Morgans hook, what little I have seen of it, I want nothing to do with it.

To another, I declared, that if masonry was revealed in that book I would renounce it immediately upon joining. I joined, gentlemen, and received the, same degrees, as those published in Morgan's Illustrations for which I paid into your treusury fifteen dollars. Was I not, I ask you, as men of sense, cheated and imposed upon Wns I not fairly swindled out of the money which I paid you fur the three degrees which I received Was there not a most wilful and deliberate fraud practiced upon me That such was the case, is proved from the fact, that one of those individuals who had, most unequivocally, denied to me the truth of the Illustrations, told me, while returning home front the lodge, the very night was initialed, that Morgan had rev ea-led the secrets of masonry and that, lie thought, ACCOUD1NU TO HIS OATH, MORGAN HAD FORFEITED HIS LIFE AND HAD MET WITH A JUST FATE Adding, that the revelations would not benefit the uninitiated as there was a check degree instituted which would prevent their gaining admittance into any Lodge. Under such circumstances, gentlemen, would not any one, have felt indignant? Shall a man be most wickedly and wilfully imposed upon, and be bound to keep the imposition from the world, that others ntay be caught in the same snare Shall a man see the laws and liberties of his country assailed by the principles of a secret and sworn combination, and be trampled down beneath the power of that combination for having independence enough to expose and combat them I do not value the money which was filched from me by falsehood to replenish your exhausted funds, but I do placcan inestimable value upon my rights as a freeman and my character us a man. Of the former, the obligations which yon imposed upon me when I joined your fraternity, would deprive nte and the latter, you would seemingly wish to destroy, by holding me up to the world as guilty of soma indefinable crime.

It is, indeed, gentlemen, a most dastardly method of assailing a mans reputation by pointing him out to tho public as as criminal in some respect, the precise nature of which you are cither unwilling or tillable to describe. As I never owed your institution any allegiance, it would be supcifiuous for tne to say, I renounce it, and as I have never merited your, fierce displeasure, I will leave a candid public to decide upon the origin and justice of your attack upon me. There are many other things connected with your institution which I could mention as being corrupt and wicked, but I shall advert to but one more, as it is a point about which there is some contradiction. I was sworn in the Master Masons oath, to role for a brother mauler mason ofeiptal abilities or qualification in preference to all others. If any one is disposed to deny or if any one doubts tho truth cf tho above statements, names can be given.

I have withheld them now, gentlemen, only front a regard to the feelings of some of your number not wishing to repay tho injury hud contumely with which you have attempted to visit me, with any thing that shall look like malice or revenge. As I have come before the public in self defence, 1 submit the controversy between you and myself to its decision without tiny fears of the result; find 1 now take leave of you, gentlemen, by forgiving you for the wrongs you have done me, and having no other feelings with regard to your conduct towards me, than that of pity for your wenknuss in expelling me, and contempt for your stupidity in not Ibrseeing that it world recoil upon your own heads. GEORGE D. JEWETT. New-Haven, Oct.

9 1830. Wo conclude to-day the report of the pioceedings of the National Convention ns given by the Pennsylvania Inquirer. The report must necessarily he very deficient in the detail of tho business it is, however, full enough to convince the most skep-Heal, that the convention wan composed of talents of the first order, and was conducted with grent propriety, roolnoss and wisdom. Nothing, which lias transpired lately, will give such an impetus to imti-tnu-sonry as the deliberations of this convention when they nro laid before the public. Anti-masonry, from being only a county or state alfiiir, has now fairly become national question, and wo look with pi ide and confidence to ita decision by the people.

I declared it to be what I believed it not to be, thus deliberately uttering a falsehood, my conduct would have been strictly Under such circumstances, gentlemen, tho imputation ot unmasonic conduct is more desirable than the reputation of having acted tna-sonicalhj. To the charges of unmasonic conduct as specified by your Secretary pro tern, I do, nevertheless, plead I have said and do now say, that I believe the institution of freemasonay to be a wicked and blasphemous institution a eheal and an imposition upon the public. Its whole form, spirit and obligations render it a wicked institution. It is its wickedness only that requires concealment were it a harmless and innocent combination, it would not require tho mantle of secrecy to cover its principles or its deeds. It is wicked, gentlemen, because its obligations stimulate to crime and sanction its commission.

The very first oath that you administer to initiates into your mysteries, sanctions and authorizes the taking of ljfe, independent and in defiance of the. laws of the land. Murder, for offences done against the authority of masonry, is the legitimate result of its sworn principles. Tho obligation to keep secrtsyou well know, covers every crime of witafevef grade or hue, short of murder und treason. It is unnecessary to partioulaiize on this point there is not an oath administered by your order, so far as tny knowledge extends, but that embraces wickedness of a flagrant character.

Tho instructions and charges in the Monitor, which are generally referred to as redeeming principles in masonry, are no part of it masonry is, or was secret, and these things are open to the inspection of all they have nothing in common with masonry they are, in fact, opposed to its genius and leading tenets as taught in the oaths and are besides taught and enforced by other and paramount authority long before they are ever known as being, in any way, connected with masonry. Your institution, gentlemen, is a blasphemous institution. It introduces God and religious rites into scenes Letter becoming the play house than the place of worship, and more in accordance with the wot ks of the scoffer than with the profession of the Christian. With daring irreverence it calls on the name of (rod and invokes him to keep and uphold the' devotee at its altar in the strict and due performance of such things ns that same God has expressly prohibited. It virtually asks the Eternal to sanction crime, and folly, and profanity.

It calls on a holy God to approbate unholy deeds it would hind nten to the performance of wickedness by striving to make the bond sacred. Is there not also a mock resurrection among the ceremonies of your institution-4-1, refijcsn-tation of an individual raised from the dead, not by the authority of that voice and that power which called Lazarus from the grave, but by the pretended virtue of a foolish grip of your order For what purpose could this representation have been designed but to caricature the resurection of the Savior? Does not the Master of a Lodge, mor-over, in a manner, personify the God of Heaven when he repeats the passage And God said, let there be light, and there was light This, gentlemen, is irreverence impious irreverence, it is blasphemy I have as yet spoken of your institution, only so far as I am acquainted with it from actual and sad ex-cxperiencc. Tho degrees, above those through which I have passed, I sincerely believe to he correctly revealed, and by them your institution stands convicted of wickedness und blasphemy almost without a parallel. Can yoir indeed, in the face of an enlightened community and before your Maker and Judge, declare, that you do not think the institution wicked and blasphemous That it is a cheat and an imposition jupqri tho community in its general application, I will not attempt to prove, any further than to say, that I am most thoroughly convinced, that each and every pretension it puls forth to the world is wholly without foundation in truth. It is a complete and unqualified impostor, pretending to ho the exact reverse of wliat it, in reality, is assuming a character of greatness and goodness for the express and only purpose of deluding people within its und binding them to its interest and support by unearthly obligations backed by the penalty of death Who of you, gentlemen, when you sought admission into its mysteries and a participation in its benefits, exported to receive them by being haltered, Mript to the last remnant of dcBcency, led about liko the bear of a mountebank, made to swear by oaths tint savages would blush to take, and finally gain, in the cxpocted light of masonry, tho light of three tallow candles Were you not euch one of you, cheated and imposed upon when you ontereJ die lodgo? Let your consciences answer.

Gentlemen, I have not done yet. To me your institution has been, in an eminent degree, a cheat and a fraud," and I Hsk you to read tho following statement of facts, all of which were in your possession when you expelled me, and do it, if you can, without tho blush of sltnmo. In the spring of 1827, while residing in Uineshiirgh, I procured a copy of Morgans Illustrations, and after reading a few pages in it, upon henring a gentleman, in whom I placed great confidence the master of the lodge a deacon in MIDDLE BlRY: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1930. Wo call the particular attention of our readers to the communication given below.

This is one of the most-aggravated cases of masonic deception, fraud and revenge, that we have ever seen. It exhibits, in a very strikng manner, the recklessness with which masons sacrifice truth and integrity in the support of their idol; and the recklessness with which they attempt, in face of an enlightened and discerning public, to trample down every man who will not abide by the obligations, and cling to the polluted skirts of froe-masunry. Here is an instance of a young man, drawn into tho embrace of masonry by the most palpable and deliberate lying, and then expelled, as guilty of some crime, because, in his feelings of indignation at the fraud which had been practiced upon him, he exposed the proceedings by which he had been ensnared and deceived. What idea of shame must masons have, when they expel their members for such offences fur Idling the. truth and yet hold in fellowship lodges which still retain within their embrace the kidnappers and murderers of a fellow citizen What man is there, unshackled by the oaths of masonry, who can look on such conduct without the deepest abhorrence and indignation Since Mr.

Jewett joined the lodge, which was in 1827, he has been knowing to the admission of some six or eight individuals into the lodge in this town, and the one in Bristol. The last was a case of a young man, to which wc have heretofore made some allusion. At the time of his initiation, he was living with the present Master of Union Dodge, and was, so far as we can learn, induced to join by representations of a kind similar to those made to Mr. Jewett. His money was, as u.suiiltu-ken from him for nought hut and before lie had proceeded one hundred miles on journey, which he undertook in a day or two after his becoming-a mason, he had to pawn his clothes to provide himself with mentis to get along! Such are the benefits of masonry! With benevolence on their lips, the Lodgo will render a man penny less, and in the name of Charity, turn him a beggar upon the world i At the time of Mr.

Jewells initiation, Daniel Potter, who was, Inst year, Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Vermont, was Master of the lodge this town, of hich Mr. Jewett became a member. Mr. Jewett states, and he is ready to confirm his statement with an affidavit, that the political clause, aliout which there is so much dispute, was given hint in the Master Mason's oath. Many masons in this town, members of the same lodge, and, if we mistake not, Mr.

Totter nntong the number, have been heard to declare, that there was no such clause in any oath of masonry What are we to think of such things? Can an institution, so wicked and illegal in its requirements, and so demoralizing and (leadening in its influence, he sustained among a nation of free-tnen, und in a community of upright and conscientious citizens? Wu welcome Mr. Jewett to the field of warfare against this mystery of iniquity, hut wu can assure him, that lie must henceforth expect to fuel the wrath of masonry, without mixture of 'mercy. Ilo will surely to have to meet it, and tho fraternity will as surely, when they commence their attacks upon him, be round, like the viper in tho fable, biting a fie. For the Republican.

Immediately upon reach rig the above Notice, having received no intimation that any charges had been preferred a-gainst me, 1 called upon the individual, who was said to ho tny accuser, and requested of him a ropy of tho charges which had been lodged against me. JIc declined giving litem, alleging that it was a secret which they had a right to keep to themselves. I also applied to the gentleman who acted ns Secretary pro. tern, of tho lodgje, for information respecting the allegations against ntc, and was told that they consisted in my saying that the institution of freemasonry was a wicked and blasphemous one, and, also a cheat and fraud upon tho community.

It appears from tho above, that tho unmasonic, cmulw consisted in tny c.r-pressing tny hi lief as to tho character of the institution, and not in speukingh.vc-ly of its character, for no such cjmrgo was brought against mo.
