Wilmington expositor. (Wilmington, Del.) 1831-18??, 1831-10-21
From the Register and Examiner.
GLORIOUS TRIUMPH.

/ must congratulate you MIR. Painter and the
rest of my fellow citizens on the issue of the
election. The whole ticket is elected by a
handsome majority. Although the election
morn was ushered in with a 'pelting storm OF
rain and wind that battered down in torrents
throughout the greater part OF the day, our
ticket has received a vote that succeeds over
all opposition. Thus il is that TRUTH and the
cause of equal rights, of social order and
the PEOPLE must prevail. Every means which
!dishonorable ingenuity could devise was put
in requisition to defeat the common enemy
The hollow and heartless cry of persecution
and prescription was wrung throughout the
country by the mouth-piece of Nationalism,
with the cry of FAcGoTs STAKES and CHAINS,
and the spirit of the blood thirsty Robesperre
to blacken our cause. Intelligent Chester
county is not to be deferred from asserting the
laws Of the land and annihlating the laws of
Masonry. She cannot truckel to its power
while the blood of Morgan stains the portals Of
: her tembLe-while it derides justice in her own
sanctuary---while it battles with the civil au-
E thority and outrages the social order of the
community. No never. The numerous facts
: which have been judically proven against the
] Institution, are of such startling and aggra-
waited character, as to justify every honest and
: unprecedented freeman in using the ballot boxes
: to upheave the foundations of the foulest in
: stitution, that ever existed in the bosom of a
e free people. A few more such victories in this
l county and the requiem of Masonry will be
: chanted throughout the land of Freedom, in
: sad and solemn strains, which will dispei the
: folly and infatuation of an institution which
y lbegues men into the most unholv and unna
II tura ties of association. Let the light of free
a enquiry spread, and the spirit of investigation
: prevail, and time with wallet at her back,
s. (full of Masonic oaths) will hasten the period
e when the veil of the mystic tie will be rem
/ asunder, with the fraternal embrace that hold:
in fellowship the abductors of Morgan. We
have taught c. Miner, the redoubtable cham.
(, pion of the blessed handmade that he bites
a fle,' and shoots his poisoned arrows agains
8 a cause that is shielded by the breast-plate o.
/ TRUTH, and which will eventually triumph
: Yes, fellow citizens, do not be surprised il
n this same Mr.. Miner. in his tribuEation, shoult
open his ey es to the light that is glowing around
At him, and fearfuly see the catastrophe which
awaits his dearly beloved idol.
J. Our increasing vote this election has mos
y assuredly carried dismay to the ranks of the
y Icraft, and with such men as Writ, Adams
IL Rush and Mclean, we have nothing to fear
'e Masons of reputation and character have al
s. ready aeceded from the society leaving tn
D. Oery great masonS' to adhere with inlexibl
d lPrejudice and desperate zeal, to their rottei
&c lconclave. and vomit forth calumuies of abus
le on those thousand voices which cry do1vn zvit
s. me hari2t masonry. Let us continue to perse
we're in the good cause with confidence fir
70 OF purpose-our flag is planted on the citadt
he OF freedom, and there it will wave until Ma
IN sorry is abolished from our land. S.
