hibie f *Bh in the God of
. ‘mWi “ .belief in His revealed
without such faith her
ver would be opened to any
man, no matter what his position and cir
cumstances <n life. No atheist or infidel
can be a mason. They may be connected
with the order, but they are.no more ma
sons than hypocriiesare Christians. Pro
fession is one thing, but belief and prac
tice are very different, and vastly more
important things. “By their fruits ye
shall know them,” for men do not gather
grapes of thorns, and figs of thistles.
The altars of Masonry are sacred to the
science of Masonry alone, and while she
interferes not with any of the institutions
of religion, she sets up no rivalry to the
Divinely-appointed rneaus of grace aud
salvation.
Masonry is no enemy to Christianity
I know that some, from their own im
aginations, have evoked dark and terrific
spirits, aud imagined a thousand evil
things about masonic secrets. With them
it would appear that everything done in
secret was evil, and the principle, if not
sole, objection of some to the institution,
grows out of the secrecy with which its
work is performed. Upon this principle
they would condemn some of the holiest
transactions ttiat ever occurred. Solomon
tells us "it is the glory of God to conceal
a th'ng,” and many of the most import
ant revelations He ever made to man were
made in secret. It was iu tiie secret
watches of the night that He appeared to
Abraham, in Chaldea, and called him
away from his country and kindred to en
ter upon the promised inheritance. It
was alone that in Mature He revealed to
him the destruction of Sodom. It was
when Moses was pavilioned with the Je
hovah, for tiie space of forty days and
forty nights, on the smoking summit of
Sinai, tliat the Jaw was written on two
tables of stone, and instructions were
given how to make tiie tabernacle and the
ark, while thegreat incommunicable name
of tiie Deity was a secret with the Jews
during their existence as a nation.
Masonry does not assume to take the
place of the church, or to trench upon her
rights, by either assuming her functions
or endeavoring to perform her appropriate
duties, any more than Bible societies,
tract societies, temperance societies, or any
of the kindred benevolent institutions of
the day; aud who will deny that the
church could not, as a church, carry on
all these objects of benevolence withiu her
pale? No, the order of Freemasonry
wou and not, with sacreligious hands, touch
tiie ark of the Dord. and, ruthlessly thrust
ing aside the priests from the altar, ascend
the holy place to offer incense upon the
altars of Christianity.
Those who are prompted by a vain
curiosity to explore the secrets of the mys
tic art, and are carried away with the
badges a.ud glare of gaudy and elaborate
display, and emblems and pompous cere
monials, will find nothing in these courts
that will satisfy their desires; and, on the
other hand, those who expect to have rev
elations transceudentaliy mysterious aud
impracticable, will be disappointed iu ap
proaching the altars of Masonry.
Masonry is a practical science, and,
though its moral duties are vailed iu etrio
bletns and allegories, they all have
a practical significance. We do not
wonder that those who are unacquainted
with Masonry, aud the emblems which
illustrate its precepts, should he disposed to
look upon it and them with supercilious
contempt, or at least to regard them as
trilies unworthy the consideration of men
of reason and reflection ; and, in the very
nature of the case, we must in patience
and forbearance submit to such ex
pressions of opinion as the unitiated may
indulge. We would, however, promise,
if it were not more in accordance witli the
dictates of reason, for such to suspend
opinions until they have the evidence be
fore them, and not hastily to passjudg
; nient upon that concerning which, ao
| cording totheir own confession, they know
nothing.
Tiie order does n it interfere with any
of the regulations of society, whether of
church or state, involving any of the duties
we owe to God, to our country to our neigh
bors, or to ourselves ; and if it did, it would
not he wrong or treasonable to disclose its
secrets; but that institution should be
placed under the ban of ecclesiastical or
political excommunication, simply be
cause it has secrets pertaining to itself
alone, is a species of persecution only
becoming the dark ages.
If it were a Jesuitical institution, and
its .members wer« handed together by
oaths, lor flie suppression andobstruction
of freedom of conscience, freedom of
speech, and freedom of the press, we
would he among the first to renounce all
allegiance, and vow eternal hostility to it,
as the enemy of God and man. Brotherly
Love, Belief aud Truth, are its cardinal
elements, and constitute ilie great central
idea, around which revolve all its essential
operations. Anything contrary to these
practical principles is foreign to the or
ganization, and forms no part of its
benevolent mission. To visit tiie widow
and fatherless in their affliction, adminis
tering to their wants and woes with the
soft hand of a charity diffusive as light, is
a message she brings to every sorrow
stricken home. When she fails iu this
God-like undertaking, she fails most sig
nally in the accomplishment of her mis
sion, and her profession degenerates into
a mere form, aud her allegorical lessous
and instructive emblems become as the
souuding brass and tinkliug cymbals of a
heartless profession.

the papers and records were lost.
W ashjsgtox, February 28.—The Kansas Legis
lature has adopted the Fifteenth Article.
The Clerk of the House has not yet made the
roll of the next House. The recent statement
that he had excluded Louisiana and Georgia was,
to aay the least, premature. In fact, few creden
tials have yet been presented. Regarding Georgia,
it seems understood if certificates from Governor
Bullock are of the usual form, the names will be
placed on the roll; but if the Governor makes the
certificates a vehicle of argument or explan tion.
the Clerk will hold them for the consideration of
the House.

Washington, March I.—ln the Senate, to-day, a
hitter contest occurred over a motion to erase "the
name of Gen. Asa Rogers, Auditor of Virginia,
from the disability bill. Mr. Nye said that Wells
decided to sell Virginia’s internal improvements
at a sacrifice, but Gau. Rogers was the obstacle to
the job; hence his desire to retain his disabilities,
which would relieve him. Mr. Trumbull said, iu
reference to the Grant and Colfax Clubs, who re
monstrated against Gen. Rogers’ relief, that if the
Senate is to be governed by Grant and Colfax Clubs,
the Senate had better dissolve. The discussion
was interrupted by the regular order, the appro

his administration, and to acquaint him with tiie
condition of affairs and wants of the people in
those States, aud their indulgence of the hope tiiat
this section would be remembered by him in the
selection of his Cabinet. Gen. Grant, in his reply,
stated that he was glad to receive them, and assured
them that under his administration he would en
deavor to have affairs satisfactorily conducted in
the South, but gave no intimation as to what his
intentions were in reference to a member of the
Cabinet from that section. He stated tliat mil
itary matters in the South would be changed,
and commanders assigned to duty who were in
sympathy with the administration. In reply to a
question as to whether General Sheridan would be

The following is the Tribune’s account of Grant’s
visit to the House Saturday : General Grant came
down to Congress yesterday, and had a talk with
Representatives Boutwell and Griswold. It was
immediately hinted that Boutwell and Griswold,
were going into the Cabinet, but it appears tliat
the General only wished to consult with those gen
tlemen about some legislation iu regard to the re
construction of Georgia. The Gen ral is also de
sirous that such provisions be made in the Army
bill as to render it unnecessary for him to nominate
Sherman to be General. Sheridan is to be Lieu
tenant General, Schofield is to be Major General,
and Reynolds ad Sickles, are to be Brigadier Gen
erals.

THE SHIP ANNA SCHMIDT,
Which was destroyed by the Alabama, off the

of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for California. Dr.

which characteiize the operations of these cele
