ST. JOHN’S DAY.
The very remote and distant antiquity
^f Masonry, and the sincere and ardent
devotion with which the wise and good of
-Cvery nge and of every country, have wor
shipped ut its shrine,‘are ealeakited to in
spire sentiments bl’the highest veneration
for the institution; and plainly proVe-tltc
qplutary tendency of the precept which it
inculcates, ns well as the universality of
the principles upon which it is foundedi
Before chaos was reduced to order, nnd
darkness mill confusnm eoveVi-d the face
of the great dwp; before the suu which
yules and governs the day; the uioon
Which rules aud governs the i.iglit ; or the
.master who first ruled it governed a Lodge
on this terrestrial ball were formed, the
sublime principles of Masonry must have
insisted, in iucffuble perfection, in the pure
qud Almighty mind of the Great Archi
tect of the Universe. A deviation from
the principles of masonry, is, at all times,
u departure from the luws of nature ; as
man is constitutionally a social being, lie
derives his highest happiness, aud his ex
quisite enjoyments, from society, union
and intefcourse, with hi? fellow-creatures.
The grand object of masonry, has always
.been to promote the cultivation of philan
thropic. virtues—to warm and to expnnd
the generous and benevolent feelings of
tjh e soul—to awaken in the heart tender
^pntiments of commiseration and pity for
^prrow—to teach the hand to relieve dis
tress—to calm aud assuage the boisterous
ftPd turbulent passions of the mind—and
to recommend peace on earth and good
trill to men. This is the subject on which
the masopic muse has chaunte d her swee
test strains of melody. *
Our enthusiasm in the cause of Mason
ry has already extended our remarks fur
ther than we intended, when wc com
menced to write. They have been elicit
ed by the masonic display which was made
trough our town yesterday in commemo
ration of the anniversary of St. John.
The Grand Lodge of Georgia, with the
Lodges of this City, under its jurisdiction
nnd many transient brethren, assembled at
the Grand Lodge room, about 12o’clock
from whence they proceeded in masonic
procession, accompanied by a band of mu-
eic, to the Methodist Church, where an ap
propriate address was delivered by the
Rev. brother Carter, Grand Chaplain of
Jjhe Grand Lodge. Previous to the ad
tjress a most solemn nnd impressive prayer
Was offered up to the throne of grace by
tho Rev. brother Mealy. The ceremony
was concluded by another excellent prayer
from the Rev. hr, >her White. The breth
ren then returned ; the same order, to
the Grand Lodge room; and after contri
buting to the funds for the relief of dis;
tressed brethren and their .families, they
Were dismissed by the Grand Master in
good fellowship with each other, which
ht* ever distinguished the craft,
"Let the social virtues shine
Doing good, is sure divine.’*

The Speaker laid before the House a
cbm niuiieatioil from the Department
the Treasury, stating the amount and
periods at Which the bonds taken for du
ties on imports, in the year 1822, became
payable. [By this statement it appears
that the duties on imports, winch occurred
during the year 1822, amounted to 824.-
005,33687, of which $484,6S6 42 were
received in cash, and the residue of $23,-
618,550 45, on the several Credits allowed
bylaw, It is estimated, that if these cred
its had been allowed on an interest of 0
pef cent, the interests thereon would have
amounted to $1,151,416 88.]
The Speaker also laid before the House
from the same department, a statement in
relation to the rate of interest at whiel

the loan was originally made.
The Speaker nbo laid before the House
from tho same department, a statement of

upon bonds given for duties on import',

But the winter succeeding his death, in

it was not acted upon. As they woiild he

Ir. Forsyth rose and said, that, upon a
call for information of this description
from the Executive, there might lie a pro

would be found, upon examination of the
records of the government, here referred
to, that NHiee thc date ofthe Treaty of

Mr. F. enumerated those treaties as fol

another was concluded with them at Wash
