Lancaster Examiner from Lancaster, Pennsylvania • 3

E. E. E. THE LANCASTER: THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1831. L7 We have kept open our paper to a later hour than usual, to insert the proceedings of the Convention of Delegates which assembled in this city yesterday, to form an antimasonic ticket for this county, to be supported at the approaching general election -to make room for which several articles had to be omitted.

DAUPHIN convention which assembled in Harrisburg on the 18th instant to form an Antimasonie ticket for Dauphin county, have recommended the following Fox, JOHN FUNK. COMMISSIONER SAMUEL HOFFER. BROWN. BUFFINGTON. UNION following is the antimasonic ticket formed in Union county RHULE, J.

SCHNEE. WINTER. WAGONER. ENGLE. Mr.

Middleswarth declined being a candidate for tho Legislature. An antimasonic meeting is to be held in Berks county on the 10th of September next, to make arrangements for forming a county ticket to be supported at the ensuing election. The State Committee of Rhode Island have called an Antimasonic State Convention, to be held on the 14th day of September next, in Prov. idence, to appoint delegates to the National Convention at Baltimore. An Antimasonic Convention was to be held on Tuesday last at Hallowell, in the State of Maine, to appoint delegates to represent that State in the National Convention.

MASONIC QUIBBLING. -It has been fre. quently stated in antimasonic newspapers that the Grand Lodge of New York loaned Eli Bruce, a convicted accessary to the masonic kidnapping of Morgan, a sum of money in statement Bruce denies in a letter to the "Craftsman," and aserts that the Grand Lodge did not loan him noney then nor at any subsequent period. In explanation, the editor of the New York ComAdvertiser (himself a mason) tellsthe truth when he says the Grand Lodge did not can monay to him. It is recorded in the Secretary's records of the proceedings or the Grand Lodge, that the money was given to Bruce as an ABSOLUTE DONATION.

It was not $250 but $100." The difference between loaning and GIVING certainly argues much in favour of lodge charity to a worthy brother! late number of the Boston "Christian Herald" contains the following rnunciation of freemasonry by the Rev. Mr. Stone. Mr. EDITOR that I am named in your paper, as an adherent to the institution of Freemasonry, I take this method to disclaim all ennexion with the institution, and to give the assurance that I have long strongly disapproved fit.

J. T. STONE. The following we copy from the Danville (Vt.) North Star, of the 16th instant. RENUNCIATION.

In 1815 I joined the Freemasons in Schuyler Lodge, No. 218, Saratoga, New- York, and in July 1830, having been fully convinced of the irreligious principles of the Institution, I wrote a renunciation and put it into the hand of a confident to be forwarded for publication; but I learn it has not been done. Now, since the obligations of Freemasons are delivered under a false pretension (because they do infringe on their to God) and since the conduct of Freemasons evidences to me, that the penalties of those obligations are to be executed by the Fraternity in case of violation, (contrary to my former belief)-IN THE NAME OF GOD, I RENOUNCE THEM FOREVER. NOAH SPALDING. Craftsbury, Vt.

July 20, 1831. Our very conscientious neighbour, the "Opponent," may discover from the communication of Mr. Matthews, that his informants are not to be so implicitly relied on as he imagines. He will now know that they do not always tell the truth, and we could caution him against receiving their tittle tattle too readily. He has given "his whole countenance, soul and body," in one instance to a forgery coming from abroad, and has never had he manliness to correct his error.

In his last he rave his sanction to an untruth originating at home, and backed it by an insinuation equally and contemptible." This too, we presume he will suffer to pass uncorrected. It hence seems useless to point out a still wider range of errors into which misinformation has led him, or which real motes prevent him from he hinks he can gain any thing by bringing personmatters into discussion, let him persevere. He may chance, when he least expects it, to be fared with a peep at a portrait painted "true to ature," and under which it will not de necessary This is a black bear." If the Journal will bear in mind the point from hich we started, it will find that it cannot with ropriety attribute to the Examiner either error or ant of candor. The Journal charged Mr. Ingm with "premeditated and deliberate falsehood," stating that the President had threatened to Ind home a foreign minister and his lady.

We onounced this a rash charge, and said that the urnal erred in attributing the story to Mr. Ingn, inasmuch as he had given it on the authority Col. Johnson, and it could therefore not be calA a falsehood- -much less a premeditated and decrate one--until after Col. Johnson should deny It he had so informed Mr. Ingham.

This, we ought, was sufficient to vindicate Mr. I. from a arge which we were willing to believe the Jourhad made rashly and through mistake. The ornal, however, would not understand the matbut referred us again to Mr. Ingham's stateInt, without admitting that that gentleman had fall given Col.

J. as authority for the story, or retracting one tittle of its rash charge of meditated and deliberate falsehood." We then quoted from Mr. Ingham's statement the passage in which he names Col. Johnson us authority-believ. ing that the Journal would have motherwit enough to perceive, and sufficient ingenuousness to admit, that, whatever might be thought of the story, it was wrong and rash to charge Mr.

I. with "premeditated and deliberate falsehood," so long as Col. Johnson did not deny that he had communi. cated such information. But, notwithstanding that the Colonel, in his late letter, has not made such denial (when he had a fair opportunity to do it, ifhe could with truth,) the Journal still suf.

fers its rash charge to stand, and gives us a tation from another part of Mr. Ingham's statement, wherein that gentleman avers the fact on his own authority also. Relying on this quotation the Journal persists in considering itself as right, and the "Examiner" as wrong; whereas, even according to the Journal's view of the matter, the quotations would prove the Journal to have been quite as much in error, and not a whit more candid, than it affects to consider the Examiner. Its affected sneer at our candor the Journal might have reserved for itself; for it is certainly somewhat marvellous that it could silently pass over the first passage in the statement (which until contradieted, repels the imputation of malice prepense), for the purpose of pouncing on the second and basing thereon a charge of "premeditated and deliberate falsehood" against the writer! We admire alike the ingenuity and the ingenuousness, the charity and the candor, evinced by the Journal in this matter--for we think it can hard. ly have "escaped the vision" or "defied the comprehension" of the Journal that Mr.

Ingham had alleged other authority 1 besides his own for the statement he made, and consequently be justly charged with "premeditated and deliberate the Journal has it--so long Col. Johnson remains silent on the subject. Yet the candid, -dealing and charitable Journal could pass over the first part of Mr. Ingham's statement-thus omitting a very material fact; and then, assuming what suited its purpose, publish to the world a vile imputation against the character of Ex-Secretary are not the political friend of Mr. Ingham, nor have we any private or personal partiality for him.

We as little ad. mire some parts of his public course, as the Journal does others. Our interference was not prompted by any other motive than a desire to defend him from an unjust and groundless charge; and beyond this we shall not go. Imagining that the Journal must by this time be aware of its error, and convinced that its conduct was rash and its charge unwarranted, we care not to insist on an acknowledgement. We leave that to the Journal's own sense of propriety, and shall envy as little the candor that can withhold the recantation, as we did or do the charity that could prompt the charge.

Mr. CALHOUN has published his sentiments on the subject of State rights and the powers of the General Government, the Tariff, Internal Improvement, He is an advocate, to their full extent, of the southern doctrines of nullification, state sovereignty, free trade, His publication is extremely long it is well written, with more calmness than the political disquisitions coming from that section of the Union usually manifest, and contains probably the best argument that can DO af the anestion. His sentimentsare based on the fundamental error that the Constitution of the General Government was formed by the States; that the General Government is merely the agent of the States; and that the several States are in themselves distinct and independent sovereignties. Hence he maintains that a power to decide on differ. ences arising between the States, is not and cannot properly be lodged in any branch of the Government; but that all questions arising out of such differences must be referred to a Convention of the States for adjudication.

This doctrine evidently divests the General Government of the feature which mainly distinguishes it from the old Confederation and which alone gives it life and energy. Public sentiment will speedily settle the dispute, and there is little reason in fear or doubt that the decision will be adverse to the nullifiers. The result of the Kentucky elections for members of Congress is still not precisely known here, The Clay party do not any longer claim more than six of the twelve members elect the Jackson party persist in claiming seven.

sed, the following preamble and resolution was offered by Dr. which was read and a. dopted. WHEREAS it is a fundamental principle of republicanism, that in all elections by representatives or delegates, a majority of all the votes given should be required to make a choice: And whereas this principle is sanctioned and adopted in every part of the constitutions of the United States, and of the State of Pennsylvania: Thus, in the election of President of the United States by the electors chosen by the people, a majority of the voices of all the electors is required to make a choice of President. And in the election of State Treasurer and United States Senators by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the united voice of a majority of the whole number of votes given, IS necessary by the Constitution to elect any of these officers.

And in like manner the law and practice has ever been settled and never varied from by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, or by the Congress of the United States, in electing Speakers of the two houses, in the election of clerks, printers, sergeants-at-arms, and door-keepers, to require in all cases a majority of the votes before any of those officers can be chosen. And whereas the distinction is universal through the laws and constitution and practice of Pennsylvania, and founded in justice and common sense, that in elections by the people themselves a plurality of votes is sufficient to make a choice, but that in all elections by any delegates or representatives of the people, such as by the Legislature or by State Conventions, to nominate and select tickets to be voted for by the people, a majority of all the votes given is necessary to effect a choice or selection for the purpose. And whereas it is just and proper that the equal rights of the people should be in the same manner established and by county conventions in the formation of county and more especially by antimasonic counprotected, ty conventions, which owe their existence to the opposition of the people to the masonic principle of governing the many by the combined authority of a few Therefore, Resolved, That no person voted for by this convention shall be placed on the ticket, unless be has in his favor a majority of all the votes that may be given in. Resolved, That no delegate to this Convention shall be a candidate for any office; and that no Candidate shall be nominated in this Convention for more than one office. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for the different candidates, whereupon it appeared that the following persons were duly chosen.

For the Examiner. -Mr. Jacobs, in his last Antimasonic ponent, has asserted that at the antimasonic cela. bration on the 4th of July last, I "gave no toastauthorised none, and that the toast to which my name was attached was a base -a freak doubtless of one of the able editors forgery, the antimasonic party." In reply to this statement, I think ly to inform Mr. Jacobs, that I I I I I I I did proper meregive a toastthat I gave the identical one to which my is attached, and that he must have been grossly imposed upon by the person who told him that I denied the toast.

I never denied it, for the reason that I could not without violating truth. I am much obliged to Mr. Jacobs for his very good opinion of me, but believe I am as well without it. What his motive could have been in thus "unwarrantably and unceremoniously" introducing my name into his paper, I leave others to determine. GEORGE MATTHEWS.

August 23, 1831. For the Lancaster Examiner. Mr. EDITOR: seems from the last masonic Lancaster Intelligencer, that your correspondent Churchtown may have been in error in classing James Patterson and Jacob Zercher, of County Committee of Correspondence, among the holy order of masons. Those gentleman it appears decline the honour of the cable tow.

Ancient, honourable, and Heaven -descended masonry! Thou "blessed handmaid of Thou, whose existence commenced "in the dawn of creation, when symmetry began and harmony first displayed her How art thou sunken and degraded! Will not the blindest devotees cast away their cow- and red flannel breeches, their mallets, aprons and ribbons, when the very jacks themselves have become ashamed of thee and of them The masons despise the jacks whom they employ and direct; and the jacks hate the masons to whom they sneak and truckle. COCALICO. P. S. I wish Mr.

Feran, the editor of the masonic Intelligencer, would tell his readers whether he be a mason or not. Some persons keep their sheepskin aprons rolled up under their waistcoats. C. CONESTOGA MEETING. At an antimasonic meeting held at the house of Christian Rohrer, in Conestoga township, on Saturday, the 20th inst.

JOHN BACHMAN, Senwas called to the Chair, and MARTIN KINDIG and JOHN McCARTNEY, appointed Secretaries. The. object of the meeting having been stated, the fol. lowing persons were appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, Urban, Jacob Fehl, Christian Herr, Henry Hess, and Tobias B. Stehman, who reported the following.

Whereas the time now approaches when it will be again necessary to meet the overgrown evils of Freemasonry at the ballot box; and whereas the spirit of antimasonry, far from being dead in this township, is as active as ever well prepared to fight for the purification of our invalua- I (ble institutions, and whereas we believe that vi vietory will only attend our efforts while we go wingly, unallied with other feelings and interests, for the destruction of masonry in support of a thorough, decided antimasonie ticket, whether for the Presidency or for county officers. Therefore Resolved, That we will conclude neither truco nor armistice with masonry, as a society, till she meets us on the ground of democratic equality, purged from all her oaths, her aristocracy and her law breaking tenets. Resolved, That we are with our antimasonie fellow citizens of the other parts of the county, through good and through evil, without local prejudice or feelings, till the victory of' antimasonry over aristocratic freemasonry shall achieved. Resolved, That our delegates thine day chosen be instructed to form a thorough, decided antimasonic ticket, and that such an one we will support. Resolved, That Henry Hess, John McCartney, and Jacob Fehl be appointed delegates to the county convention.

Resolved, That Penjamin Barr, Benjamin Charles, and Henry Crise, be a committee of correspondence for this township. Resolved, That these proceedings shall be signed by the chairman and secretaries, and be pub. lished in all the free papers of this county. JOHN BACHMAN, Chairman. MARTIN KINDIG, Secretaries.

August, 1831. The Grand Inquest for the County of Lancaster respectfully represent, that they have performed the duty of passing upon all the bills of indietment presented for their consideration, but greatly regret that there has been such an unexampled number of criminal cases before them, and are of opinion that the cause part is owing to the number of Sutlers, who retail ardent spirits, and are permitted to do so at military trainings, vendues and other public assemblies. On examining the Jail they find the interior thereof, is well fitted up of late, and is kept in good order--but lament the very state of the walls round the Jail yard, for the repair of which, there is however, preparation now making by the commissioners. In our opinion those walls ought to be taken down and rebuilt from their foundations. -We do further state that we have examined the Poor and House of Employment and Hospital, and find every part thereof in good order and repair and to us appears well conducted.

In performing our duty we cannot avoid bringing to the notice of Court and county the great and apparently growing evil of This unlawful sport with all its attendant evil consequences, is growing much more throughout the county, and cannot readily be checked so long as so powerful an example exists in the establishment of a regular race course in the very bounds, or in the vicinity of this city--It is known to all, that in September last, racing for four or five successive days, took place on this recently prepared course. Though known to be forbidden, it was conducted with all those openness and formality of transactions the praiseworthy and lawful, and as it were under the very eve of many constituted authorities, who are conservators or the peace and morals of the commu. nity. This infraction and almost dafiance of the law was suffered to pass unpunished. And it was hoped that actual experience of its demoralizing effects upon society, and particularly upon the young and rising generation, together with the general dissatisfaction of the people of the county, would have deterred or influenced those who had been the most active promoters of this pernicious attempt to establish among us what is so strongly forbidden by law, from making such another dangerous experiment.

But it seems no such salutary effect has been produced, and it is now in vain to trust to a voluntary abandonment of the praetice by those most active, who have become it is supposed interested in its continuance. Nothing but the strong arm of the law, vigorously interposed. can now check its baleful growth. For the Jurors have seen and heard with pain, that much preparation is already making for a series of racing, in much more imposing manner, at the place in the ensuing any preventive remedy can be interposed the Jurors will not presume to they have little doubt that if the proper officers, whose duty it is not to see hear of a fla. grant breach of the Law and be idle, would consult together and give those who appear the most active, the proper warning of the consequences proceeding, but little difficulty would be found in giving the practice an effectual check for the present and preventing its occurrence in future.

Mr. Heath, Missionary Preacher. Mr. H. H.

Reynolds: Sir-In the year 1820, a young lady by the name of Smith, in Berkshire, Mass. (where I then lived,) was severely afflicted with a cough pain in the side, difficulty of breathing, together with all the symptoms of a seated consumption. She was attended by eminent Physieians, who gave her up and despaired of her ever recovering. In this stage of the complaint she procured Dr. Pierson's Welch Cough drops, and by the use of a half bottle only, her complaint was removed, and she was restored to perfect health and strength.

I have been acquainted with the above Cough Drops for ten years, during which time I have frequently taken them for common colds, and have always found immediate relief. I have seen the beneficial effects of these Drops in a great number of cases, some of which were given over by their physicians, and by the use of these Cough drops they were restored to good state of health, and enabled to assume their agricultural pursuits. J. HEATH. Alexander, December 28, 1830.

Reynolds: Sir--This may certify that I am thoroughly acquainted with the above mentioned cough dropshaving a knowledge of their medical qualities, and from witnessing their beneficial effects in my practice, feel myself perfectly warranted in recommending them to all persons afflicted with coughs, colds, asthmas or consumption, as being the best article now before the public for such complaints.
