In the Senate of the United States, Feb.
A, Mr. Calhoun, from the special committee
to whom was referred that part Of the Pres
idents Message relating to the circulation
of "incendiary publication" by mail, made
long report, accompanied with bill,
"prohibiting deputy postmasters from re-
ceivng or transmitting through the mail to
any State, Territory or District, certain pa
pers therein mentioned, the circulation of
which by the laws Of said State, etc. may
be prohibited, and for other purposes"
The prohibition extends to every thing
"printed or lorittcn, TOUCHING The subject of
.Slaroy" Some members of the commit
tee dissented. The bill was read and or
dered to second reading, and 5000 extra
copies ordered to be printed. No debate is
reported, but that such bill can pass with
no debate, is impossibe-that it can pass
at all, is highly improbable. Dcspotic rule
however, is fast driving from our borders

are counted almost nothing. Imagine a

of the colony were absolutely on Tie Alliance;

THE MASK OFF

1t is pretty well understood that the edi-
tor of the Boston Advocate, for twelve
month past has been laying plans to foist
Mr. Van Buren, upon the Antimasonic party
as candidate for the Presidency. Well
knowing that the great body of our party
in New England, New York and Pennsyl-
vania could not be expected to give any
countenance to such nomination, if left to
give an unprecedented avowal of their pre-
ference in National Convention, the first
step was, to Illustrate, if possible the ar
rangement for that convention, and then
push forward Mr. Van Buren, under the au-
spices Of some minor body of Antimasons,
and thus foresta a fair and full expression
Of the party.
As early as last October or November the
Boston Advocate had arrived 10 the singu-
lar conclusion that, on occount of the di-
verse opinions existing between the Anti
masons of the different States, the idea of
a national convention could be no longer
entertained Next came string of resolu-
tons, purporting to have been adopted by
certain Anlnasons of Massachusetts, in
which the Reorganization of the National
antimasonic party was openly proclaimed !
From that time the Advocate waged war
with every candidate, publicly mentioned
in conneXion with tile Presidency, al,cayS
excepting Mr. Fan Buren,. Mr. Webster had
been trumpcted by the same journal as an
Antimason not only, butas "the very beau
ideal Of what n President ought TO be .
but Mr. Webster suddenly fell from his high
estate, nor was the beau ideal" reinstated
in the favor of the Advocate by tile publ
cation of the strongest political antimasonic
letter ever published in the country The
cry of "mad dog was soon out against
all the prominent Antimasons of Vermont
and Pennsylvania, who would not listen to
the behests of Mr. IIalctt and his adherents
in Massachusetts. Mr. Sade of this State,
and Mr. Hester and Mr. Denny of Pennsyl-
vania, were assailed for their waywarlness
and held up to the readers of the Advocate
as apostates from their principles and con-
spirators against their own party. These
charges were repealed on the part of Mr.
Slade in manner which Mr. HalIett will
not be likely to forget.
On the assembling Of the Pennsylvania
Antimasonc Convention at Harrisburg, on
the 18th December MIR lIallelt end his adj
herents sent dictatorial circular to that
body, urging at great length the improperly
Of sustaining either of the candidates then
before the public, excepting Mr. Van Buren,.
Webster's antimasonry had come TO light
too ate--Adams had determined not to be
a Harrison was IL poor county
clerk-Mr White was n Jackson man and
a mere cats paw of Mr. Clay-but the great
and open-hcarted champion of antmasonry,

pure as TIE icicle upon Dianas Temple
