I of sound reasoning where the merit of masonry is involved. We are content to take up the discussion at this point, confidently believing that ma. sonry cannot here defend herself by rational argument, even though she be allowed to fabricate the premises of her propositions. We take the story according to the masonic version, as given to captive had been condemned by the Indian council to be burned to death. He was tied to the stake; the faggots were piled around him; and the torch was about to be applied.

In this extremity, when every other hope had vanished, the intended victim gave the masonic "huiling sign of distress." It was seen, recognised, honored, and obeyed, by a chief of this barbarian horde, the head of the band which was about to commit this cruel and inhuman outrage, was a mason. He was true to his masonic oaths--he interfered and saved the prisoner's life. worthily done. The rescue was a laudable who was he who performed it? BRANDT! Aye, it was Brandt, the ruthless savage, "the monster Brandt," let this one good deed be remembered to his advantage and serve in mitigation of the severe condemnation to which his numerous and heartchilling cruelties have subjected his name and character. It is refreshing to find even one spot of verdure in a moral waste so barren.

Look at the story in its fairest light--the light most favorable to masonry, in which masons themselves place it and what does it prove? This alone--that masonry is advantageous TO THE BROTHERHOOD. Nothing more praiseworthy can be inferred from it. It proves that masonry is a selfish institution--that its principles are narrow and contracted; that the exercise of its tender mercies is restricted within the pale of the fraternity; that it is clannish in its feelings and affections, confining its good will to its own votaries, and disregarding or casting off the requisitions of other duty but that by which its members every are oathbound to each other. BRANDT was an Indian half- a protege of Sir Wm. Johnston, and received a tolerable education in England, where, according to the masonic tale, he was made a mason.

It is, of course, to be presumed that he possessed "the faculties of a and the story itself, by necessary implication, attributes to him a mind sufficiently intelligent to understand and appreciate the nature and force of the masonic obligations. It is also a fair inference that he had brought his passions, even the wildest, the fiercest, the most indomitable by which rude nature is swayed, somewhat into subjection to reason, and under the control of principle. He was a man, as Dr. Johnson might say, who was "caught young," and much might have been made of him, ifhe had fallen into proper hands. His fidelity to the inculcations of masonry prove this.

He conformed strictly and literally with her requsitions. He was her faithful disciple, and his conduct furnishes a striking illustration of the practical results which flow from the masonic scheme of moral improvement. He was an apt and dutiful scholar; and had he been taught in a better school, he might have become an ornament to human nature, instead of being a terror in the land--a destroyer, "Leaving a monster's name to other times, Link'd with one virtue and a thousand crimes." If masonry were a christian institution, if she were indeed "the handmaid of religion," if she really inculcated "universal benevolence, charity, mercy and peace among men," as she professes to do, would not some evidence of the fact be furnished in this story of the masonic Indian? Ifhalf the care had been exerted to make him acquainted, with the genuine and pure precepts of Christianity, which was used to initiate him in the fooleries of the mystic brotherhood, the effect upon his life and conduct would have been vastly different.He was capable of learning, and competent to follow that which from education and conviction he believed to be consistent with and required by duty. Hence, if properly instructed in the whole range ofhis duties as a moral agent, a consistent life would have been the probable consequence.The instructions of masonry fell short of this, and to that circumstance may largely be ascribed the fault of his short-coming. If she had impressed on his mind universal benevolence," is it probable that, loyal to her and dutiful as he proved himself, he would have sanctioned and participated in cruel tragedy which, with his followers, he was preparing to act? If masonry had taught him his whole duty as a man, would he have permitted preparations tobe made for the immolation of a fellow creature? would he have foreborne the rescue till the intended victim had suffered tortures in anticipation, scarcely less poignant than those in contemplation? would he have waited for some special signal to remind him of his duty? would he have permitted the baser passions of our nature to have sway over his mind, repressing the kindlier feelings of the heart and rendering it callous to every paramount claim, till he discovered that a special tie made the rescue imperative? Never would he have acted thus, if masonic morality had propounded to him a perfect lesson.

If masonry had taught him to regard himself as a man and a christian, and told him that meanest wretch his that lives, Can claim fraternal kindred with soul," the name of Brother Brandt would not now go down to posterity coupled with infamy! 1 Do we find any evidence of "universal benevolence and mercy" in the history of the Wyoming massacre? BRANDT, "the monster," BRANDT, "the mason," WAS THERE! and scarcely was there left "man, or child, or thing of living birth," so ruthless and so indiscriminate was the slaughter. Hoary age, and prattling innocence, and the feebler sex fell alike before the destroying arm of this "merciful mason;" leaving the ruined wall, and the roofless cottage, and the peaceful graves, as mementos of his murderous deeds and devastating was the act of a pupil of masonry--an unsophisticated child of nature, on whose mind her plastic hand could exert free and full scope, unopposed by "the gross errors of bigotry and superstition!" She taught him to be merciful and benevolent to those whom she bound him by oath to regard as brethren; but left him rude, and savage, aad cruel, and bloodthirsty as she found him, free to glut his fierce passions on whomsoever he chose, beyond the pale of the brotherhood. She had contrived to acquire a controling power over the secret springs of his soul, and she exercised it--not to advance the cause and secure the claims of universal benevo. lence, but--for the selfish and clannish purpose of guaranteeing safety and comfort to such as a would stoop to wear her bonds! Such is her merit! Masonry claims a reversionary benefit from the rescue of the condemned captive. Concede to her all that she deserves; and yet must she be condemned for not having done more by her teachings, when to do more was in her power.As she voluntarily stopped short at quarter distance, it is manifest that, whatever her profes- I THE Li LANCASTER: THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1830.

JUNE being the anniversary of St. John, used to be a day signalized by masonic pomp and parade. Exhibitions were formerly to be got up, lambskin aprons and blue wont sashes displayed, processions arranged, and orations-learned and appropriate, of cours ered in various cities, towns and villages, to convince the gaping world that St. John was a mason, and to inveigle the curious and the credulous into the toils of the order! But of late, though these things are as lawful as ever, the craft have taken up a queer notion that they no longer edify, nor are they Hence we witness no "turkey walks" nowadays.

Five head sold together for $1735! and the average price of twenty-one others was $320. We learn from the York Republican that C. A. Barnitz Esq. of York county, purchased about twenty of these animals.

Elias Warner was tried lately before the New York Court of General Sessions, and convicted wilful and corrupt PERJURY in swearing that schedule of his property, annexed to his petition for the benefit of the insolvent laws, was a just and true statement according to the best of his knowledge. It was proved that Warner had sent a large amount of goods to Philadelphia and Troy to be sold, and secreted others in New York, and had given no account of them in the return which he made under oath. The evidence was such as to satisfy the jury, who returned a verdict of guilty. From the Chester Visiter. We well recollect the story of the Masonic Pirate, which is commented on in the article copied this paper from the Lancaster Examiner.

We recollect also a similar story, told for the same purpose, about the same time, of a white man, whose life was preserved among the Indians by the tender mercies of masonry. It was said, he was bound to the stake, and just ready to become the victim of Indian cruelty, when, as a forlorn hope, he gave grand hailing sign of distress," which was answered by a chief, who saved his life. This story, we believe, is told of Brandt, who makes a conspicuous figure in the beautiful of Wyomin Outalissa says of mammoth comes--the foe--the monster Brandt This personification of evil was a half-caste Indian, who received some education in Europe, where he probably joined the midnight Society. When the American colonists threw off the yoke of "grand kings," this man of blood was chosen by the British as a suitable agent for winning them back to the Lord's Anointed. It was he who desolated the fair valley of Wyoming, sparing neither sex nor age in his bloody path, and destroying his prisoners by sticking their skins full of pine splinters, and applying fire.

When the few brave men who held out the log fort of Wyoming could hold out no longer, and sent a deputation to know what terms of capitulation he would allow them, he replied "the hatchet!" He fulfilled the terms to the letter! About eight years ago the foregoing story of Brandt and the captive was told to us by a personal friend, who was then a newly made and zealous mason. We had in frequent conversations, subsequent to his initiation, discussed with him the character and pretensions of In the earlier stage of the discussion, he had maintained that it was a religious and christian institution, while we undertook to controvert the position.His next allegation was that masonry was a means of promoting morality and of advancing science; to neither of which laudable qualities could we allow it a claim. In the last place, he asserted that among the multifarious objects of the mystic association, inculcation of "universal benevolence, charity, mercy, and peace among men," were the chief. Here again we felt constrained to oppose him; and it was on this occasion, while endeavoring to mantain the ground he had assumed, that he introduced the anecdote above ferred to. It is evident that this story serves the craft as a standing argument in support and defence of the imposture to which they have sworn fealty.

It therefore deserves at least a passing comment.We shall not stop to inquire into the truth of the story. Its truth or its falsehood is in this case perfectly immaterial. It is sufficient for us to know that masons use it to answer their admitting that it forms the basis sions are, to go further formed no part of her sign. Had she reclaimed Brandt altogether, and taught him to enlarge the cirele of his benevolent feelings so as to include all mankind, and induced him to act accordingly, she would have had a fairer claim to regard and honour. As it is, the story redounds little to her credit, though her votaries are so careful to promulgate it "for her profit and praise." They adduce it in proof that masonry humanizes the heart and refines the manners.

When viewed in connexion with the facts and the whole history of Brandt, the proof is not remarkably satisfuetory. Possibly the bywna might be educated to fraternize with the lamb, but so long as the creature indulged its thirst for blood by devouring generally the other beasts that roam the field, we should scarcely be brought to believe that its nature had been radically changed, its taste improved, or its habits thoroughly amended; a and we could consequently have little faith in the efficacy of the systemeven though it should pretend to have come down to us from the days of Solomon. Just so with the ameliorating and reforming process professed by mountebank masonry. "Tis quackery all! She effected with Brandt all that her principles enabled her to effect. She fettered him, with her bonds, chaining the savage to her car, but left him free in other respects to indulge his passions without stint or control, wherever, whenever, and against whomsoever he chose- his victim was not a brother mason Brandt's conduct was masonic throughout.He recognized and obeyed his masonic obligations, and in all else he followed moral law of his tribe or nation." No mason, as such, has a right to censure or condemn him for his cruelties or his butcheries.

He transgressed no precept of the Order. He was in all things a worthy brother, if the Ahiman Rezons define the nature of the mystic fellowship truly. The morality of this "handmaid of religion" prescribes no nar. rower limits for the regulation of human conduct, than those within which Brandt walked. Her rule of life has reference alone to "her own profit and praise," and the mutual safety of her sworn thralls.

Thus is she serviceable to the brotherhood; but in what way or in what instance has the rest of mankind been benefited by the institution? Brandt would have helped to heap faggots on the funeral pile and applied the torch with his own hands, if the captive had been no mason. "Die, palefaced long -knife! die, christian dog would have been the thought of his heart, if no masonic relationship, had existed between them. Masonry looks to her own! Her benevolence takes no wider range! She lets the rest of the world shift for itself! By the arrival of the ship Athenian. from Car- thagena, news from Colombia to the 30th ult. has been received.

PERSECUTION! Aye, the masonic aristocracy tell us it is persecution in the people to determine not to vote for masons.The masons have been so long accustomed to direct all affairs of the government, from the appointment of a fenceviewer to the election of a President, that they claim it now as a right. What was at first fraud and usurpation on their part, they now arrogantly insist has become their legitimate right--and that it is persecution in any one to oppose their pretended divine privilege to govern the country. The President of the United States and two thirds of both houses of Congress are masons. A majority of the heads of departments in the general government are masons, and the same is true of the subordinate clerks. The masons now hold the office of Governor and nearly three fourths of all other offices in this State; and the proportion of offices held by them is most probably the same in each of the other States in the Union.

Yet--what masonic modesty tell us it is persecution and proscription in the people not to vote for masons! It requires something more than masonic tradition and baby tales of Hiram Abiff, to establish the divine right of masonry to govern the world; and yet, what better in the shape of argument have masons ever adduced to give color to their claim to a monopoly of public offices? The masonic newspapers do not, they cannot, they dare not, vindicate the institution of masonry. They find it easy enough to explain how masonry, with its political machinery, is often beneficial to masons themselves; and it is by such representations that the heedless' and selfish youths of towns and cities are enticed into the toils of the order. But how could the masonic editors, or any one else, show that masonry is beneficial to the public--to the great body of izens-to the public at large? In Pennsylvania not more than one voter out of a- bout sixteen is a mason. Now how can masons prove that the fifteen who are not masons receive, or can possibly receive, any advantage from masonry, whatever may be their situation, profession, or occupation in life? But this is not the worst of the The masons dare not publicly avow, or attempt to prove, the advantage of masonry to masons themselves. They do this in private, in order to catch childish and selfish young men.

To do so in public would be instant ruin, because whatever power, patronage, privilege, or offices the masons acquire by means of the masonic conspiracy is obtained at the expense and at the loss of the rest of the citizens of the country. What the masons thus gain, is acquired by fraud upon or the robbery of others who are not masons. If one man or get of men obtain more than their legitimate share of any thing, the rest of the people must put up with what is left and of course fret less than what of right belongs to them. Facts, notorious and undeniable facts, show conclusively that this disproportion exists and has long existed in our political system, and that masons have managed to produce it and secure to themselves the advantages thereof. Now, however, that the eyes of the people are opened to this alarming truth, and their thoughts and the determinations of their hearts are directed to a correction of the evil, by the firm and fearless exercise of their rights as freemen, the alarmed and terrified political free-booters fill the land with their despairing yells of Proscription! Proscription! Persecution! Persecution But they yell in vain.

On removing the clothes, a snake or adder, near three feet in length, ran out upon the floor. Medical assistance was immediately called, but without avail -she survived a few days in great distress and expired. She was a young woman and had been married only a short time previous.
