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. BY AUTHORITY.

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. ** Columbus, February 29, 1855.

WELLS, Columbus, Feb. 20—tw&wtf Engineer and Sup’t : To the Stockholders of the Ist Division of the Mobile & Girard Rail Road, from Co s lumbui to Union Springs:-* I Gentlemen: —The present condition of the road demands j j the earnest attention and prompt action of the Stockhold ers. A portion ot the Road has been finished, equipped and j j putin operation, but there exists a large amount of indebt- j | edness which must be provided for, or else suits will be in- j j stituted against the Road at the March Teim of the Rus- I j sell Circuit Court, and judgments rendered at that Term, j | under which all that portion of tne road now finished, with j [ its equipment will be sold, and pass into other hands and) become a total loss to the present Stockholders. You are aware that the late President, Judge Iverson,! 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.
