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.’* ot -1 guns, Cobvij la, » ainofdcith.

Thq Senate adjourned HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 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 tho Bank of the United States will coni in ue the loan of $7,000,000 to the Uj. 8. h Which-jt appears that the Ban!; decline making any change in the terms on which the loan was originally made. The Speaker nbo laid before the House from tho same department, a statement of losse?i sustained during the last 30 year? upon bonds given for duties on import', distinguishing the amount in each year.-— [The total amount of losses sustained) is $1,575,626 27.] These communications were severally referred to the Committee of Ways and Means, and ordered te be printed. The resolution on Tuesday offered by Mr Forsyth, Calling for information rela tive to the Treaty of 1804 with the Chero kee Indians, the cause for the delay in its ratification, &c. was taken up, and the question being oil agreeimr thereto, life, this treaty of 1804 wns not ratified. But the winter succeeding his death, in May, 1824, the ratification was claimed by the Cherqkecs, who eatne hero for the purpose, and it was ratified.
