scription. If you hate the Catholics because they have
nunneries and monasteries, and Jesuitical secret orders,
don’t out-Jesuit the Jesuits by going iuto dark-’an;eru
secret chambers to apply test oaths, if you hate the
Catholics because ‘ ou say they encourage the Machiavel
lian expediency oi telling lies sometimes, don’t swear
Yourselves, not to tell the truth. (Cheers.) Here are the
oaths —the oaths that bind you, under no circumstances,
to disclose who you arc or what you are, and that bind you
not only to political, but to social proscription. Here is
your book—your Bible—which requires of you to stick
up your notices between midnight and daybreak. (Laugh
ter.) I don’t object to secresy. I am a member of a
secret order, and lam proud to be a brother Mason •
(loud cheers) and I am at liberty by my order to say, that
ai to its ends, it purposes, its disigns, Masonry has no se
crets. (Renewed cheering.) Its end, its purpose, its aim
is to make a brotherhood of charity amongst men. Its
end is the end of the Christ! n law of re igion. I know
not how any Mason can be a Know Nothing. Masonry
binds its members to respect and obey the laws of the
land in winch we live; and when the constitution of the
United States declares that no religious test shall be made
a qualification for (fifee, Masonry dare not interpose by
conspiring in a secret association, to attempt to make a
religious test a qualification for office. When Virginia \
has an act of religious freedom—au act that is no longer
a mere statute law', but is now a part of the organic law,
and which says that no man shall be burdened for religious
opinion s sake—Masonry dare not conspire to burden any
mm for opinion’s sake. Masonry has no secrets but the
simple tests by which it recognizes its brotherhood. It
is bound to respect the law and to tolerate differences of
opinion in re’igiou aDd politics.

OBITUARY.
Died, on Wednesday morning, Feb. 14th. at his late ree
idence, Patrick Adams, aged 46 years.
Patrick Aaams was born in the county of Mayo, Ireland,
and emigrated to this country 23 years ago He brought
with him nothing but those qualties that so greatly endear
ed him to those who had the piea-ure of his acquaintance,
and the energy and perseverence that made him so useful
a member of society. His, indeed, was a bright example
of the effect untiring perseverence, together with un
swerving honesty of mind, will accomplish.
Not only has his family deeply suffered by his death, but
the gloom it has occasioned is felt by the citizens general
ly. His simpleness of manners, his kindness of heart, and
his many manly virtues, deservedly placed hirn high in the
estimation of his fellow citizens. Asa father, he was kind
and affectionate; as a husband, fond and devoted; as a >
friend, warm, ardent, and steadfast; and his friends have the j
gratification of feeling, that Irom here he has gone to a ;
bourne, where his virtues will be rewarded, and his spirit
will feel that repose unattainable in this world.
He has left many monuments behind him of his indus
try, and when they shall have passed away h ; s virtuous
acts and their effects will survive, and these fully justify us
in saying, he was that noblest work of God—an honest
man. **

resigned on the first of January, and that Maj. John H. j
Howard was elected to fill the vacancy. He has not yet
accepted the office, and will not until arrangements are
made to pay the debts and progress with the Road to Un
j ion Springs. He and others are making every effort to
j obtain additional subscriptions, and it is hoped and believed
j that a considerable sum will be obtained, but it is well as- !
; certained that a sufficient amount cannot bo thus raised to 1
accomplish the objects desired. Something,therefore, must
be done by the present Stockholders t© prevent the loss of
what has already been invested and expended in the road.
We therefore earnestly invite you to meet at the depot in
Girard, on Thursday the first day of March next, at 10 o’-
clock, A. M., at which time a full exposition will be made
of the past transactions and present condition of the com
pany, and when, it is hoped, some plan will be adopted to
relieve the road from its present embarrassments and pro
vide for its further progress.
