THE DEPOSITE BILL IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

A large majority of the House of Repre-
sentative appear to be in favor ofnmediute
action upon the Deposite Bill, which was
sent to that body by the Senate on Saturday
morning. a motion was made by Mr.
Patton of Nirginu, 10 take it up and refer
1t at once, but us this motion required
suspension of the rules and therefore vote
of two thirds, it was lost. Ayes l30-noes
7O-wanting n change of four votes only to
have accomplished the object desircd. We
have no doubt that another attempt was
made on Monday and that it then succeeded.
1t is admitted by the enemies of the bill
that the Presidents Ueto alone can destroy
it. The tories in the House are not willing
to bear the responsibility of its loss.
"The Spy in Washington" writes that
"some impression, in regard to the vote has
has been made upon the President come
to this conclusion from the knowledge
OF fact which | will state. The bill was
ordered to be engrosscd for third reading
on Thursday. The next morning friday
the President sent to the clerk of the Senate
for II copy of the bill as engrossed. Now,
why this extreme anxiety to possess a bill
which has not yet passed either branch
Congress? The way faring man may give
the answer. 1t was to discover whether
there was any ground upon which veto
could be based"

these solicitations. But Mr. Spencel's APP
pointment was solicited solely with refer
encc to his professional requirements and
character, and not because he was an Anti
mason, or supposed to be friendly to Anti
masonry. m that time, he iVaS prominent
member Of the party which had just elected
Gen. Jackson, president Of The United States,
and Mr. Fan buren,, governor of the State.
lie had then given no evidence of attach
ment to the antnasonic cause and it was
supposed, that 10 one who had done so,
could possibly be appointed. Even when
Mr. Spencer made his report to the COVER
nor, detailing the facts in relation to the
Morgan outrage, he was not political
Antimason, as any one who reads that doc
ument will discover. Afterwards, being
satisfied that the entire influence of the
state government operated against his meas
ures for the conviction of the offenders, he
not only felt compelled to Withdraw from
his official station, but became convinced,
both of the propriety and duty of opposing
ireemasonry at the polls From that time,
he was jealous aud active Antnason.
From the origin OF antimaSonry to the
present time, Mr. Van Buren, has been the
acknowledged leader Of the party in New
Y ork that has been most decidedly opposed
to its existence and extension, and with
which it has constantly come in collision.
This fact is indicative of "the true relation
which Mr. Van Buren, has sustained to anti
masonry in New York." No one, who is
acquainted with the politics of that state,
can have any doubt as to the direction
which has been given to the whole weight
of his influence. We have no hesitation in
saying, that there is not, within our knowl-
edge, the least ground "for representing
him rs friendly to the cause, either indi-
vidualy, or as the head of a party" Ifhc
has ever "spoken kindly" of antimasonry,
or said, or written anything in favor Of
opposing freemasonry, Sin the exercise of
the elective franchise" or has ever spoken
uniavorably of treemasonry, it has never
come to our knowledge. Indeed, the whole
course of MIR Van Buren, and his friends in
our state, has been that of active and unre-
uniting opposition to the cause of Antima-
sorry.
We are, sir, very respectfully,
Yours, &c.

DOINGS AT DANVILLE.

Extract of "A letter to the Editor, June 20,
from an intelligent friend in Caledonia
county:
"Thc District Convention, owing to the
strong deatchments from your quarter and
from Lyndon, was about as numerous as
usual on such occasions, and they nomina-
ted Dir Fletcher with tolerable unanimity,
n few only, say half dozen, voting against
him.
The County Convention was rather thin,
several of the large towns having 10 dele
gate present. But one fact which you will
be highly gratified to learn is, that the anti
masons kept aloof from the affair. Even
in Danvile, where our friends expected
that the influence of the North Star would
occasion some assertions, no efforts could
induce them to have anything to do with
the afiar-managed as it was, and almost
entirely composed of strong masons, whom
they had long opposed. Scarcely a single
man, heretofore known as one of our party,
except Mr. Eaton, presumed to act and
vote with them | have heard the names
of only t,CO others at nloSt--both belonging
to Danville. Several were present who
refused to act. In fine, l am more and
more convinced that the attempt TO transfer
any considerable portion Of our men over
to the Kinderhooker, will be a failure
But this is not all. Many of the old line
Jackson men, who have always been oppo-
sed to Palmer, are highly indignant at his
nomination for Senator, and declare they
will not support him. In fact, as they say,
it was procured by management | will
tell you how. Some person moved TO take
the sense of the meeting by ballOting round
for Senators. One of the wireworkers,
knowing that the result would not cores
pond with arrangements, induced the mo-
yer to Withdraw his proposition, and then
a motion was made and carried to have the
Chair [Col. Dana] appoint committee of
three to appoint committee OF t,Oo from
each town represented, to nominateSenators.
This last committee, after long and stor-
my time of it, came in with their report
Wiiiam Il. Palmer and John Beckteith for
Senators. You can scarcely imagine the
surprise and astonshment pictured in the
countenances of the faithful lieges present.
A motion was made to accept the report,
and on taking the question majority APP
peared i'll the negative! What could he
done? Why, the managers rallied, and
insisted this would not do, and said it was
unusual, &c. &c. and finally got the qucs-
ton put the second time and carried. A
more unpopular nomination as TO both,
could not be made. The disconnected are
open and loud in their objections, and |
should not be surprised if new conycn-
ton should be called to revise the proceed

Gently assembled in Philadelphia, request
ing me to answer the following question,

States, would YOU appoint adhcring Ma

Having heretofore written number of
letters to different gentlemen belonging to
the Antimasonic party in Pennsylvania, and
expressed my views fully OH the subject OF
Antinusonry, and how far it ought to be
connected with National Politics, and hay
ing subsequently received aud accepted the
nominations of the Antmasonc Cunven-
tons Of the States of Pennsylvania and YER
mont, 1t would seem to me, that my scnti-
mcnts on the subject of Aniimasonry, must
be extensively known and appreciated. TO
these opinions and facts | would most re
specially refer you. But in answer to your
interrogatory, | beg leave to assure you,
that # elected President of the United States
| would, on 10 account, nominate any man
to office who held the opinion that his obli-
cations to any secret society, were superior
to those which he owed to the Laws aud

We invite attention TO the annexed cor
respondence with Messrs. Hazeltine, Full
Ter, Childs and Love, all members of Con-
gress from Western New York, and well
known rs among the earliest Antimasons
in that State. Mr. Chids, if we mistake
not, was elected as an Antimason, to the
Legislature of New York in 1927. Mcssrs.
Ilazeltine and Love were both members of
the lie Roy Antinlasonic Convention in
1928. The same year Messrs. llazeltne
and Fuller were elected to the Legislature
rs Antimasons. In 1880, Mir Fuller was
elected to the Senate of New York as an
Antimason; and Mr. Hazetinc was chair
man of the committee to whom was refer
red Gov. Van Buren's message in 1929, and
made II decided and able autimasonic re-
port. They have all been elected to Con-
gress as Antimasons, by the Antimasons of
the old infected District" in New York.
With these predatory remarks, we submit
the correspondence to the public-partic

Pittsburgh Times, Boston Advocate, North
