Tho petitioners baaed their hostility to
tbe anctent institution of Freemasonry on
Bcvoral serious charges, which, if Well

a °Our duty ns public journallsta, leads us
to examine these charges, as tho organi
sation .thus assailed extends over ail tho
world, and claims to have been establish
ed with tho praiseworthy object of incul
cating the practice of social and moral
virtue.
A careful study of Its historv has con
vinced us that it,is, what it professes to be
a beautlfhl system of morality, veiled in
allegory and illustrated by symbols.—
There aro'no secrets ns to its principles
and objects.
Tlio first of the charges referred to, Is
thnt “masonic associations are dangerous
to republican governments, ’ * Nothing can
be more untruo than this.
I Monarchy Is a hereditary, Freemasonry
I an electivo institution. In tho one the
sovereign, claiming to rule by an inherited
right divine, is regarded ns the fountain
of all honor and power, in the other, the
peoplo are acknowledged to be tho only
source of control.
All offices in the masonic fVatcrnlty, be
ing in the gift of the craft, govrrnmcnt is
strict elective, andjjconsoquently, repub
lican in its form and character.
Freemasonry dangetottt to Republican
institutional It might as well bo nsserted
that knowledge was dangerous to Free
dom. The true model of a well-ordered
republic is a just aud duly constituted ma
sonic lodge.

port of slavery anti tlie inception of re
bellion In its behalf. In reply to this,
suflicc It to say thnt every mason la strict
ly enjoined "to bo a peaceful and quiet
citisen, (vue to /ns porcnimoit and just to
his country; not'to couutcnnco disloyalty
or rebellion, but patiently to submit to le
gal authority, and conform with cheerful
ness, to tho government of the country in
which I10 lives.” The charge of Inciting
to rebellion, Ac., is, therefore, as Aviso as
that of “perverting the nation, and for
bidding to give tribute to Crcsar,” which
was brought against the founder of Chris
tianity.
Who docs not know thnt tho essential
characteristic of Masonry, when not ncr-
verted, Is charity, and that Brotherly tore,
Bqlft f and Truth, are the corner stones of
the Masonic Temple? Ilow then can that
he a |iro-.,/ai«ry institution, which tenches
its members to aid In tho erection of that
universal and eternal temple, which will
one day, enclose alt humanity within its
pivelnots?”
Th-» petitionem say that Freemasons are
"hound by barbarous onths. j-epttgnaitt to
law, human.divine.”
This is another infamous Atlscbood.—
The solemn obligations which masons vol
untarily assume have been entered Into
by some of thcoviscst and most virtuous
umt) of all ages nner countries since the
days of King Solomon. Would they havo
bound thomselvcs by “barbarous and un
lawful oaths?”
Again, it is charged by tho petitioners
thnt the youth of the country are taughtin
masonic lodges "tho pernicious practices
of conspiracy,” and that these institutions,
withes D. Sllnglotr * Son, through the use of vague signs and sym
bols, mslduously calculated todecuive “ha
bituate the younu and innocent to tho ways
of duplicity and demoralisation,” The
allusion to tlio young niid innocent is easi
ly disposed of as no ono not 0/ lawful tujc
can he ntndo a mason.
As to tho rest, wo havo the blest author
ity for stating that a desire of knowledge
and a sincere wish of being serviceable to
his fellow creatures in thc M ‘opcn sesame"
for every man to every masonic lodge on
the face of tho globe, and if any evil thing
bo discountenanced by Freemasonry, more
than another, it is disloyalty, or conspira
cy against, lawful government. J Its signs
aud symbols, constitute a universal lan
guage understood by all Masons. Truo,
they are secret and Inevitable; This,how
ever, Is a manifest necessity, for were it
otherwise, how could ono mason know an
other with whom ho was previously unac
quainted, with certainty. The signs and
symbols are only vague to tho uninitiated,
hut to masons instructed in those duties
towards God anti man which masonry in
culcates, they are foil of meaning, truth
and power. Wherevortho light of knowl
edge hns dispelled tho mists of ignorance,
or the torch of science revealed the hidden
wonders of creation, or an alter been erect
ed to the great Architect of tho Universe,
tlicro masonry exerts its benign influence
uniting men in nn adamantine hond of
"brotherly lore."
That snerurt tio which virtuous spirits bind.
That golden chain wbioh llnkw Immortaluilmlft.
“Vague signs and symbols" do thoy call
them! “Honco,”—says a well informed
masonio author—“many advantages are
derived; tho distant Chhloso, the wild
Arab, and the American snvngc, will em
brace a Brother Briton, and know thnt,
besides the common ties of humanity, thoro
is still n stronger obligation to induce him
to perform kind and friendly olllccs. In
flnit, the sacred tenets of the order arc so
entirely incompatible with impiety and
immorality thnt nono but a truly good man
can bo n good mason.

A Valuable Invention,
Tho Augusta Chronicle has been shown
a railroad indicator which will prove a
great convenience to tho traveling public.
It consists of a dial of tho ordinary size of
a clock, and is furnished with the move
ments and the hands of a first rata time
keeper. On the centre clrlc of the dial is
placed the names of tho different States on
tho road opposite to tho time marked on
the dial for the arrival of the train at the
several points. So that passengers can,
by looking nt tho clock (which keeps tho
correct railroad time), at aay hour of the
day ascertain precisely whoro the train is.

children to mourn her loss.
