Morgan fever.-Fo show to what cxtrernities the
public mind has been hurried by the excitement of
the occasion, we may state, that an old man, who
was suspected OF being concerned in taking off
Morgan, and who was summoned before the Court
as a witness in one OF the pending prosecutions,
was missed from his neighhorhood-and the ma
sons were inmediatclyichargcd with his assnssina-
tion-and this suspicion is assigned by the Lieut.
Governor as one OF the reasons for making Il cri-
cal Investigation in the Morgan Drama: II now
turns out, that this old man is alive; that he has
merely gone TO pay visit TO his son in Vermont;
that nc disclaims any knowledge of the fate of
Morgan; AMI that he intends TO return TO his home
in New fork.-We may also state the notifying
fact, that an Anti Masonic meeting has been held
at LIE Roy Zone OF those which nominated Solomon
Southwick as GovernorD and that about thirty in
dividuals, who profess 10 have been Masons some
apprentices, some Masters, &c Sc came publicly
iorward-and desplsing all the olths which they
declared themselves TO have taken, signed certif-
Gates as 10 the correctness of Morgan's book
