REV. HENRY B. BASCOM. This gentlenan has
recently visited City in his Ministerial capacity
He delivered sermon in the the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the evening OF the LIST inst to large and
respectable congregation, who manifested the most in
tense interest throughout the meeting
The language of Mr.. Bascom is chaste elevated and
energetc and his oratory is pathetic and sublime in
the highest degree 1.-THE evening of the Sd inst he
delivered lucid and eloquent discourse upon African
Colonization. He presented brief and comprehen-
sve narrative of the genealogy OF the African races
pathetcay contrasted their former Independence ard
respectabiiity with their present mental and bodily
degradation gave brief recital Of the wrongs and
outrages repeatedly inflicted upon them; and inflicted
too by the d5sPROFESSORSt OF CHRISTIANI-
TY!l He also stated the motives which should prompt
us to make them early and an adequate restmtion
for our repeated and aggravated depredations upon
their unalienable rights and privileges.
We have no doubt, but that the forcible reasoning
and irresistible appeals of Mr.. Bascom, has made a
deep and lasting impression upon the minds of many
of his hearers. Justice, gratitude, benevoence &c phi
lanthropy, all unite in recommending early, and
efectua abolition Of slavery, and removal of its
forefatherB.
It lis expected that Mr. Bascom will be present at the
Conference of the Methodist society, which will
vene in this City, on the l2thinst.

RATIONAL CONVICTIONS.
II is believed, that Mr.---of this City, who was
lately appointed "Royal Arch Captain" had, in his
Younger days, something like CONSCIENCE; but which
has long since been NuLLrFIEp, by the frequent repe-
tition Of s'furthermnre promise and swear, "ec.
1t is believed, that Freemasons are not the legiti-
mate offspring of King Solomon, or 1T they are do not
possess the wisdom Of their Sire.
Il is believed, that King Solomon never was blind
folded nor cable-towed put on the red unucn-
tonables" nor swore "to protect BROTHER right OF
wrong"
1t is believed, that few more Bankruptcies in this
City, & the subsequent partial and unjust distribution
of the property OF the bankrupt VIII open the eyes OF
the Inhabitants and will exhibit to them the effect Of
administering oaths by the wholesale.
II is believed that the "Widows Sons" are in dis.
consulate situation and that the wise and good, will
extend to them neither sympathy nor protectonj but
will view them, and their fulsome mummmery, with
the most sovereign contempt.
1t is believed, that an individual who processes rei
gon makes long prayers in public places and who az
the same time is member Of the masonic Institution
and consequently an associate and advocate of th'
reprobate the hypocrite, the debauchee the traitor
the kidnapper and the unrelentng assassan must b'
be arrant imposter.
The Masons Of Harrisburgh or at least part o
them not long since, attempted TO nullity Mr. Fem
the able Editor of the Pa Telegraph, by violent per
sonal attack but succeeding in the accomplishment
of their benevolent purpose, they have adopted othe
means to suppress the publication OF the Telegraph
which are, to kidnap it out of the Post Office Go o
gentlemen, yet little longer, but rest assured that
strict retrbutona fearful destiny awaits the dark
wicked purposes of your sworn Confederaey.
