spectacle as party, and had in their
ranks many honest and worthy citizens;
but like all other parties, contained over
heated and hot headed partizans.
He said, in conclusion, that the enc
mics Of Masonry had excited party feel
ings, and had leagued with others to put
it down, and place themselves in Office
and power. This Assembly had wit
messed its effects at a former session.
He had held three Offices for fifteen
years, by which he had been enabled to
support a wife and children. He had
been turned out and Brother Turner had
been put into his slippers, shoes and boots.
He did not complain of this. ii was all
fair enough. lie saw that masonry was
mark ed and conde mned to death, and the
gentleman, now foremost in The ranks
of our enemies, was also one OF us. All
he felt anxious about was that she might
be treated with respect. Let her die in
decency, and be conveyed 10 the grave
in order.
lie then moved postponcment to the
next session.
Mr.. G. Allen said that he had been
abused by the gentleman and his party,
for SIX years, and by means of their
managing and manGuvres, had been
obliged to submit to it. The anti-ma-
sons had been with them, but they had
grown so strong that they had concluded
to do without them. 1t reminded him Of
the animal, which, il you cut of his tail,
it would LilI his head. So it was with
the gentlcman's party; they had cut off
by their abuses the anti-masons from
their party, and they had killed them
selves--they had cut off their tail, and
their head was dead He was for act
ing now, and objected to any postpone
ment.
Mr. B. Hazard said he was sorry to
see the politics of the State introduced.
lie was sorry to hear gentlemen referring
to that subject.
Mr.. Allen made few more remar' s,
in which he noticed with some severity,
certain newspaper publications., which he
termed both abusive to himself and the
House.
The House refused to postpone the
Bill.
Mr.. B. Hazard and MIR. Tillinshast,
then briefly stated their objections to the
bill, and the reasons which would induce
them to vote against it, and the question
was taken, and the yeas and nays order
ed to be entered on the journal.
