have no hesitation in now declaring that
whoever aided and assisted, or in any
manner participated in that diabolical

absurd as to contend that all the poster-

that they will be instrumental in detect

In our preceding columns will be found
letter from S. Oliver, Of Boston, on the
subject Of fantimasonry. This gentleman
has long been and still is opposed to the
Masonic Institution, but, as will be
seen by his letter, is at length convinced
that the anti-masonic excitement, al.
though Iaudable and just in It's origin,
has in its progress overleaped the bounds
of reason. We commend the letter to
the attentive porusal Of every unpreju-
diced and candid reader.

1t will be seen, by the Ordinance re-
ported to the South Carolina Conv enion
which we publish to-day, that things be-
gin to assume serious aspect i'll that
quarter. The following opposite remarks
in relation to the course they are pursu-
ing, we find in the New-York American.
South Carolina seems resolved to draw
the sword, and throw away the scabbard.
She must be brought to reason and sub
mission. That State, nor no other state,
can be permitted to declare at pleasure
what laws Of Congress are, and what are
not, constitutlonal--what enactments Of
the General Government it will obey,
and what it will not. Yet this is the
claim which, under pretext of the reserv-
ed rights Of the states, South Carolina
now undertakes to establish. The rem
edy is in the hands Of Congress, When
ever, by any overt act, the resistance Of
the state to law Of the United States,
is made manifest; that is whenever, in
endeavoring to enforce such law, the Of
fcer Of the United States finds himself
either impeded or not sustained by the
citizens, or laws, or tribunals ofthe State

The last Rhode Island Republican
contains an article from the mean and
cowardly pen ofsome mameless ragaJond,
in which we are assailed in terms SO des.
picable, that render it improper for US to
make a detailed reply. We condescend,
however, to notice that article in this
manner only, because Major Bull who
is known 10 be the principal proprietor
and manager Of that concern, on Friday
last voluntarily assured US, personally,
that for long time he had not contribu-
ted at all to the columns of that press
and on the day following MIR Charles b.
Peckham, n very gentlemanly young
man, brother Of the lad who prints the
Republican, called at our office and also
assured US that he had long since ceased
TO write for that paper. We are thus
left without in fact the apology ofa man,
or any thing else connected with that
press, that could in any degree be deem
ed tangible subject upon which even a
co,rskin might be applied. For the pre-
sent we drop this trumpcry altogether. -
