achieved for the welfare of country, for the vel
fare of society, and for the honor of human nature
we trust all will admit that the small but untet
and perseverng phalanx Of Rhode-Island Antima
sons, have thus far, faithfully done their duty.
2. Resolrcd, That while congratulang our
selves on the successful issue of labors, are
not unmndfu of the services of friends and fel
low laborers, the Democratic Republican party
that for the active and efficient aid they have afford
ed in the promotion of those great Objects pecu-
liarly interesting to us Anti-masons, and to all
true Republicans and for their uniformly fair, up
right and honorable department towards us, as
friends and supporters, they entitled to the re-
spect and gratitude of every Antimason That this
conduct their part, appears in still stronger
colors, when contrasted with the unprovoked hos
tility and unblushing perfdy formerly experience
ed at the hands Of their political opponents, then
called the National Republican party, and for the
present, the Wing party of Rhode-Island.

to their Antimasonic felow-citizens whether acting
as electors or public officers, to- cultivate union
of feeling and harmony of action with the Demo-

can be done consistently with their principles as
Antimasons
H. Resoioed, That we highly approve the con-
duct of those individual Masons, who have publicly

HAT we ardently and sincerely hope that this
mendation will be adopted by all the members of
the Masonic Fraternity.
$. Resoived, That this Convention entertain
deep sense of the loss they have sustained since
their last assembling at this place, in the sudden
removal by death, of one of the earliest most sed-
fast, active, energetic, laborous liberal and efficient
Antmasons of this State the late Dr. Benjamin w.
Case, of Newport-a man, whose conduct was such
MS to attract to his character the peculiar homage
Of Masons, that of being mercilessly traduced and
whether regarded in reference to epid hardhood,
Inconquerable perseverance,, unceasing labor and
devotion, to any Distinguishing feature of brave

On motion of Benjamin Cowel Esq. Of provi-
dencc, Committee was chosen to take into con-
slderaton the expcdency of forming Prox at this
time, which Committee after short absence re-
ported unanimously that it was not expcdient, but
recommended to the Convention the appointment

discussion, IN which several members took mart

Pointment OF an Antimasonic State Committee for
the year ensuing, the following Resolutions were
read, adopted and ordered to be signed bv tho
President of the Convention and Secretaries and
published.
L. Hesotccd, That the success which has At
tended the Antmasons Of this State since our last
annual Convention, in their efforts to suppress the
institution of Free Masonry, afford just cause for
congratulation. The institution of Free Masonry
having long baf1ed and eluded investigation has at
last been thoroughly examined, fully heard, impair

our highest public tribunal. Its charters have in

Daniel Webster our readers are aware has been
nominated by less than one half of the members of
the legislature OF Massachusetts as candidate for
the Presidency. This is the most honest step which
the federaliss have taken since their great
in lS2S Are they beginning to learn the good old
lesson that honesty is the best policy and are they
resolved IN future TO behave like honest men and
candidiy avow to the people, that their grand object
is victory over democratic principles and the con-
sequent establishment of monopolies and privileged
classes Are they resolved in future to have no more
to do with ren"gades from the republican ranks; or
have they from sad experience made the discovery
that IT is Tar more honorable to be beaten firbtipp
under their own true colors however unpopular than
under the flags of such ambitious and disappointed
demagogues whose motto is better rule in Hell than
serve in Heaven. We hope such is their determine
tion 1t is far more grateful to the feelings of gen.
uine democracy to wage the combat with honest and
honorable men, than to be forever laying the lasho
their dsapprobaton upon the backs Of dsserters.
We wish the line of distinction to be drawn strong
and deep that every may he able to choose for
himself the cause which he prefers and for this rea-
son the nomination of Webster is pleasing to us.
To render 1t still more pleasing we hope it may be
sanctioned by federalism throughout the Union.
We hope further that every fragment of the opposi-
ton may be melted into one mass and so moulded
as to bear with all possible efficiency against the de-
mocracy of the land Then let the struggle com.
