At a meeting of the Antimasons of Lampeter township held at 1 the house of William Parker i in Lampeter Square, on Saturday the 24th inst. BENJAMIN WITMER was appointed Chairman, and GEORGE MARTIN Secretary. The object of the meeting, having been stated by the chairman, on motion Francis Herr, Henry Miller, George Aument, George Martin and William Parker, were appointed a committee to an Address and resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting, who after retiring a short time, reported the following ADDRESS. Lampeier Meeting. period is again approaching when you will be called on to perform your duty, as free republicans, in the exercise of the elective -On the right exercise of this important privilege the success, the safety and the stability of our free institutions chiefly depends.

the will of the majerity should govern is a fundamental maxim of republican governments, yet it is essentially necessary that that will be fairly and honestly expressed. It becomes then the duty of every man, who wishes to participate in the expression of public opinion, properly intorm himself, and deliberately to reflect on the measures, and the consequences attending the measures which he is about to support or reject. At the ensuing election we find the citizens of this county state divided into two great political the masonic and antimasonic, each professing admire and support our present republican form government. It becomes necessary then candidly and carefully to examine how far the practice of the respective parties corresponds with their professions. The impartial inquirer will soon disthe practice of the masons and their adherents is diametrically opposite to their professions.

They proclaim themselves democrats, republicans, the friends of Liberty and equal rights; while the institution which they so zealously defend, and whose injunctions they are bound to 0- bey, is aristocratic, monarchical and despotic, requiring implicit obedience to commands which are not only unreason able, unjust and unlawful, but abhorrent to all the better feelings of our naGovernments be instituted to protect the sure, from being oppressed by the strong; to adjust differences, decide controversies, and regulate commercial intercourse; to administer and execute justice, impartially upon all occasions, withsale, denial, delay: then are masons ill qualified to fulfil the sacred duties, the devolving, upon those who entrusted with government. Sworn to support a brother mason, whether right or wrong, can they, as judges, jurors or magistrates, be expected to deal out even handed justice, when the interest or reputation of a member of the fraternity comes in collision with one that does not belong to the order? Bound under the most awful penalties to extricate a brother mason from any difficulties in which he may become involved, even at the risk of their own life, how can they as executive officers, be relied on as vigilant and faithful conservators of the public peace, to apprehend and bring to punishment guilty offenders, who may claim the privilege of the mystic tie? Let the conduct of the fraternity in a neighbouring State answer this past events, which have occurred within the cir. cle of our own knowledge, be candidly reviewed and facts will be elicited that have hitherto passed Almost every person may recollect a chain of circumstances, relative to certain transactions, which though not admissible as evidence before a legal court of judicature, will produce as thorough conviction upon his own mind, as the most positive testimony could. The cloak of sanctity and religion with which masonry was wont to cover her deformities, is torn asunder, and mankind have discovered, with astonishment, that charity, which is the boasted characteristic of the order, has indeed been exercised to an almost unlimited extent; but it has been exercised towards the masonic institution and not by it. Masonry has been the recipient, and not the dispenser.

The absurd titles, childish mummery, and ludicrous unmeaning ceremonies, which the uninitiated could not understand, though obviously productive of no good, were through the exercise of that char. ity which thinketh no evil, tolerated without suspicion, until the fraternity grown insolent by long indulgence aroused the just indignation of a free people by committing one of the most flagrant outrages that ever disgraced the annals of' a civilized community. It is not the intention of your committee to present an elaborate exposition of the evils of Freemasonry this has been done by abler hands.They are only solicitous to direct your attention to circumstances which have occurred within the pale of your own observation, and they feel convinced, that you will irresistibly be led to the conclusion that freemasonry is inconsistent with the genius of our republican institutions, and inimiliberty equality. The Antimasonic party is composed of the people themselves, the far. mer, the manufacturer, the mechanic and the laborer.

Men who pay the taxes, are the principal supporters of Government; who deprecate the present injudicious, extravagant and ruinous expenditure of the public funds, and are anxious to introduce a system of rigid economy, and general utility: Men who owe no allegiance to any secret society, and recognize no sovereign but the constituted authority of the country; who are not seeking offices for the sake of emolument and selfaggrandizement, but are selecting competent and honest men to fill those offices, which the well being of society and the interest of the community seems to require. The following Resolutions were then offered, considered, and adopted. Resolved, That we consider it a duty to our country, ourselves and our posterity, to make use fall lawful and peaceable means to abolish Freemasonry; and we believe that the most efficient for accomplishing this desirable attainment, is to deprive the institution of political power, through the medium of the ballot boxes. Resolved, That having commenced opposition to the masonic institution from motives of duty, we will never relinquish our object from motives of interest, nor relax our exertions through fear, but zealously and firmly persist in our course, long as there remains a mason or advocate of masonry in the land of our nativity. Resolved, That laying aside party prejudices, local jealousies, and private discontents, we will sacrifice all our disaffected feelings upon the altar of four country's good, and give our undivided support to the candidates settled on the democratic antimasonic ticket, having no confidence in self.

conceited Volunteers and contemptible officeseeking stump orators. Resolved, That we will oppose the ticket settled by a faction of the Clay party, being convinced that it was done for the express purpose of distracting our party, and diminishing our majority. Resolved, That a committee of vigilance, consisting oftwenty members, be appointed for this township, whose duty it shall be to call upon the antimasons in their immediate neighborhood on the morning of the election, or the day previous, and use every reasonable means to induce them to attend the polls. Resolved, That the officers of this meeting ad. dress circulars to such members of the committee of vigilance as are not present, notifying them to a faithful performance of the duties enjoined by the foregoing resolution.

Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the officers thereof, and published in all the antimasonic papers in county. BENJAMIN WITMER, Chairman. GEORGE MARTIN, Secretary. Elizabethtown Meeting. At a meeting of the Democratic Antimasonic citizens of the borough of Elizabethtown, and its vicinity, held in pursuance of public notice, at the house of Col.

A. Greenawalt, in said borough, on Saturday, the 24th day of September, ROBERT ROBINSON was called to the Chair, aud GEORGE BYRODE appointed Secretary, On motion, John Hilbert, Samuel Shrode, and Michael Hoffinan were appointed a committee to draft Resolutions, expressive of the sense of this meeting. The said committee, after retiring a short time, reported as follows: CITIZENS OF LANCASTER COUNTY: No time, we believe, was ever interesting free people than that which now has arrived to us; -a time which should awaken in the breast of every friend of Liberty and Equality the most lively feelings of action. Our hitherto country has proved an asylum to the oppressed of all nations, who have fled from the heavy hand of tyranny and aristocracy, and sought a shelter under our salutary and republican laws. The spirit which emancipated us from slavery, has been heard in other countries, whose subjects are now struggling for freedom.

Thus have we stood a light to surrounding nations. But, a- midst our meridian glory, and when external foes were made to shrink from our grasp, and hushed into silence, we have been startled at our fire sides by the hiss of a more fell and dangerous enemy, which under the cover of midnight has found its way into our civil and political institutions, and by its pretended and deceitful colors, unsuspected, has eaten as a canker at the root of our civil liberty. Such an enemy is masonry-which, by its secret wires, has given a few the power of ruling the many. But we hail with transport the ray of light which hasdragged into open day the hydra-headed monster of darkness, and brought it to our view in its true colors. We appeal to you, fellow-citizens, and ask every candid mind, can there be any doubt, with the great mass of evidence before us, but that through this unlawful and anti-republican institution, the sacred streams of justice have been polluted, the public money squandered, and even the life of a peaceful and unoffending citizen destroyed.

With facts like these staring us in the face, we ask again can you support men thus stained with crime, or sanction an institution productive of so many evils. No, you Repair then to the polls at the approaching election exercise the inestimable right of suffrage guaranteed to us by the constitution of our country support men for office of firmness and integrity--men who are not bound together by illegal oaths, nor influenced by self-interest. Resolved, That feeling it our duty as freemena duty we owe to ourselves, our posterity and our country-we protest against the continuance of the baneful institution of masonry, under whatever garb it may appear, or whatever name it may assume; that we will use all just and honest means for its suppression; and believing that the only effectual means left to us in this design is to withhold our support from men for office who are not openly and decidedly opposed to the Order, Resolved, That we unanimously approve of the Democratic Antimasonic Ticket, as settled by the late convention at Lancaster, reposing in all the candidates the fullest confidence, as being men who will act from consciencious principles and pure motives, and that we will give said ticket our undivided support. Resolved, That John Byrode, John S. Gisch, Henry Myers, Michael Coble, Michael Hoffman, William Wilson, and Joseph Barnhardt, be a committee of vigilance for this district.

Resolved, That the prsceedings of this meeting be signed by the officers thereof, and published in the antimasonic papers in this county. ROBERT ROBINSON, Chairman. GEORGE BYRODE, Secretary. Earl Meeting. Agreeably to the call of the Committee of Correspondence of Earl township, a large and spectable meeting of the Antimasons of said town.

On motion, John Davis, William Kinzer, seph Landis, Isaac Groff, and John Buck walter, were appointed a committee, who reported following Preamble and Resolutions, which were read, and afterwards seperately read and unanimously adopted. WHEREAS, Freemasonry's greatest "fear publicity, its best virtue silence," and political power is what it has been most anxious to acquire, Therefore, Resolved, That although our enemies are deavoring to impeach our motives, we will ceed with calmness and steadiness to attain object, which is the total extinction of Freemasonry from our country, believing that while remains in existence our liberties are endangered, Resolved, That the only means in our opinion to suppress masonry effectually, is by resorting the polls and there casting our votes for antimasons, whole antimasons, and nothing but masons. Resolved, That we will use our best exertions to promote the circulation of antimasonic newspapers and publications among the people, in der that the evils of masonry may be placed fore them in their true light; and that because the masonic papers are wilfully dumb we discourage their circulation among us. Resolved, That we will give our hearty and divided support to the regular ticket, as settled the antimasonic delegation on the 24th ult.

knowing there is truth in the maxim, "united we stand, -divided we fall." On motion, it was resolved, that a Committee of Vigilance for Earl township be appointed the ensuing year, whose duty it shall be to urge upon the members of our party the necessity their attending the election, and to be present the election windows for the purpose of distributing tickets and otherwise to promote the interests of the party. Whereupon, Christian Overholtzer, David Groff, John Hunshbarker, Isaac Groff, Jacob Brubaker, (farmer) Dr. W. S. Wallace, George Duchman, sen.

ADAM SHEAFFER, Chairman. ISAAC HOOVER, Secretary. Conestoga Meeting. In pursuance of public notice, a meeting of the democratic antimasons was held at the public house of John McCartney, in Conestoga township, on Saturday, the 24th inst. when GEORGE URBAN was called to the Chair, and HENRY Hess appointed Secretary.

On motion, John Bachman, Sen. Christian Herr, Jacob Fehl, Jr. Tobias B. Stehman, John Bachman, Jr. Abraham Herr, and Rudolph Hornish were appointed committee to draft resolutions, who retired a short time and reported ing, which were read, considered, and unanimously adopted.

Fellow Citizens are again called on to witness in the approaching election the political and moral phenomenon of professing Christians, and Infidels, worshipping at the same political shrine-that shrine being masonry. We see such discordant materials, disregarding all the causes which have heretofore restrained them, organizing themselves into a masonic banditti, sanctioning murder, poisoning and corrupting the sources of justice, and perverting all the tal. ents and ingenuity they possess, the support of the masonic order. We behold them in our own township selecting a "snake in the grass" from their ranks, base enough to come over to us for the purpose of distracting our party, that they might elect their masonic Inspector. In this state of things will any friend of liberty hesitate to resist the headed monster at the polls, where resistance will be effectual? We think not.

Antimasons will not cease their efforts until masonry ceases to exist. Therefore, Resolved, That we will support Benjamin Good for Inspector, for the ensuing election, and John M' Cartney for Assessor, Benjamin Barr and Jucob Fehl, Jr. for Assistant Assessors, on the 30th of this month, for this township. Resolved, That John Bachman, Sr. John Dere.

Resolved, That Dr.

From the Frederick, Md. Examiner, Sept. 21. SINGULAR Sunday e- vening, the 3d inst. a man, who called him self DANIEL SHAFER, voluntarily came bebefore Michael Baltzell, Esq.

a magistrate of this city, and requested to be committed to prison, alleging that he had committed a murder, during the last winter in Marietta, Pennsylvania, and that the reproaches of his conscience had become so severe, that he was unable any longer to endure them. His narrative being perfectly coherent, and he himself appearing entirely sane, the magistrate complied with his request and committed him. Since that time, under his directions, communication has been had with the authorities in Marietta, and such intelligence received as confirms his horrid tale. His history is, that, during the deep snow of last winter, he, whilst in a state of intoxication, entered the house of a widow named Bowers, then living in Marietta, and after violating her person, put her to death by strangling her. The fact of such a person having been found dead in her house, about the time stated, is fully substantiated by the accounts receiv.

ed from Marietta--and the whole demeaner of the prisoner since his confinement, as well as his positive declarations, has induced a general belief in the truth of his singular confession. The Baltimore Convention. The Delegates to the National Antimasonic Convention assembled in the saloon of the Athe. neum at Baltimore, on Monday last, and were cal. led to order by the Hon.

BALTIMORE, September 23, 1831. late news from Europe appears to have had no effect, whatever on prices in our market. Howard-street may with propriety be said that there is no stock in the hands of the dealers, the regular demand for home consumption and occasional foreign export being fully equal to the reduced supplies which reach the market. Sales of 1100 bbls. have been made this week for export $5,75 per bbl.

and this price is uniformly the rate to-day. The wagon price since last report up to-day inclusive has been without variation at 5,623 per bbl. Susquehanna parcel of old, subject to reinspection, was sold at $5,374 GRAIN, Thursday inclusive the supplies at market were small, and sales of best red were generally made at $1,05 per bushel. This morning, however, the supplies are good. The common and inferior descriptions of red are dull and heavy at 80 and 90 cents, owing to the absence of all demand for the kind of Flour usually made from them: The finer sorts of' wheat, however, continue in good demand, and the parcels which have been sold to-day show an an advance, in these sorts, of at least three cents per bushel.

Sales of the best red have been made to day at at 108, and a cargo of 2100 bushels was taken $1,10 per bushel. Prime parcels would continue to command $1,08 to-day, and some think a cent or two more. One parcel of red, for seed, was sold yesterdy at $1,15. Sales of white wheat have ranged from $1,10 to $1,20 per bushel, according to quality. Corn.

-The market opened on Monday at 50, 51 and 52 cents per bushel for both sorts, and has since been gradually improving until yesterday inclusive, when sales of both sorts were at 55 cents, and in one or two instances at 56 cts. for yellow. To-day the market is extremely dull, and no buyers appearing. As we cannot give accurate quotations to-day, we prefer to omit them. cargo of heavy Pennsylvania was sold on Thursday a at 70 cents per bushel.

Sales of Maryland have been made at cts. as in quality, and we quote accordingly. Clover of good have been made at $5 per bushel; some parcels are now held at $5,50. On the 13th inst. after an illness of a few days, of bilious fever, WILLIAM FORNEY, Esq.

29. eowly. ALLY IL LANAC. THE ANTIMASONIC SUN ALMANAC, NO. 2.

BY AVERY ALLYN, R. A. K. R. C.

K. T. K. M. Is just published at the office of the Sun, where orders will be thankfully received.

The Antimasonic Sun Almanac is prepared with considerable labour and expense. It contains numerous well engraved illustrations of the signs, grips, and ceremonies of Masonry perhaps the number of them has not been exceeded by the Almanac of any previous year. Mr. Allyn is well known over the United States among Antimasons, as the author of a popular and valuable Revelation of Masonry, called ALLYN's RITUAL, with from 200 to 250 copper-plate figures, illustrating the signs, grips, ceremonies, of the order. No man in the Antimasonic ranks has risked more, laboured with greater faithfulness, or suffered more severe persecution, than Mr.

Allyn, on account of his lectures and publications. It is hoped he will be remunerated for his fidelity and zeal in this undertaking. Many of the articles are original, and contain highly interesting facts. He has laboured to make his Almanac contain a variety of important and useful articles, and considering the price, the execution, and the contents, we think it will be among the best, if not the very best Almanae which has vet appeared.
