On the 18th inst. in the forenoon. Mr.. Bel
KNAPP, principal mechanist in the Georgia Fac
tory. Smithheld, was engaged in adjusting some
machinery near the regulator, unknown to

passage betweenfthe two water wheels. in order
to oil the gudgeons. For this purpose the lad
had raised trap door, over the iron geering
and was Just about shutting it, when MIR. Bel
knap, having finished what he was doing, step

the spot where he had before passed over the

attempted to sustain him, but without effect.
His boot caught in the bevel geering, Gan up

man was Immediately crushed, and drawn into
the machinery, up to the body, by which the
main wheel was stopped. In this circulating
and helpless situation, the self-possession Of
MIR. Belknap was wonderful. He was more
collected than any of those the accident had
summoned to his hopeless relief. His expires

WHAT DOES ANTI-MASoNRY CON
y TEND FORa

1t contends for freedom of opinion, which
Masonry labours to destroy. 1t contends for
freedom of speech, which the aristrocratical
Order iseven now determined to oppose; Anti
masons contend for the privilege of writing and
publishing their opinions on every subject under
Heaven, against which Masonry demurs; thew
claim the privilege of examining and partici.
pating in all the measures and politics of State
and Nation, which Masonry assumes to herself;
they claim the right to investigate and inquire
into the principles and objects of .sall associa-
lions and combinations under whatever pIausi-
bic pretext,'' which the 'sancent and honora-
ble'' Order most specially prohibits; they con-
tend for the unqualified freedom of the Press.
which Masonry shackles and renders mum; thew
fight for liberty and life, which the delegated
authorities of the order have violently usurped.
and last though first, they contend for the purity
the bench and sacred desk, which Masonry
IPolutes; in short Antinasonry contends for
equal PriOiIegeS to all mankind.
Oppose Masonry as much as YOU will, but
do not carry it into politics, say the fraternity
King George and the tories would have said
the same thing to the wings of the revolution.
Oppose the crown as much as you will, but do
not carry it into politics. The wings took their
own council, and did make their opposition to
the crown political. They saw that the only
way to rid themselves of oppression, was to
sunder their political connection with the OPP
pressor. So it is now. The analogy in the
times is complete. Antimasons find it VAIN to
meet and pass resolutions without doing some
thing more. At the ballot boxes they can
make the institution feel. No where else can
they do it effectually. We want no better evil
dence Of the propriety and efficiency of this
course than is found in the fact that it appears
to touch in the right spot-the fact that the
Order care nothing for any thing else we may
do, if we let them alone in politics. o, any
thing but political Anti-masonry is about the
thing.
A fdct-At the late trials at Lockport,
when witnesses were called up to testify in the
case of Col. Jewctt, they were either silent or
would give evasfve answers to the questions.
Judge Marcy observed in despair" If witnesses
will brave HEAVEN and EARTH. and COM
nit PERJURY. it cannot be helped" If ma
lSonry then, will make men "braoe heaven ana
earth, and commit perjury" it is time it was
Ibanished from our country IF nen hold theil
masonic obligation to be binding upon them, o
what use are courts of iustice3 They appear
a mockery; and personal, public, and private
security demand, of every freeman to raise hi
arm against the communicating and paralizing

Resignation.-We understand says the
Westchestcr Republican that Gen. Barnard
intends forwarding to the Governor of the
State, his resignation as a member of the Sen
ate of the United States, to be laid before the
Legislature at its next meeting in December.
This step is the result of determination long
since formed and communicated to some Of
his friends, to retire at the close of the last
Congress. AS the next Legislature will have
to choose his successor, it is proper, perhaps
/ that the public should now be informed of thu
resignation. His intention is to resume th'
profession of the law.
