Sentiments Of Gen. Harrison.
81 cannot but consider the existence of Ma
sonry as an evil, both moral and political"
" In the exercise of the elective franchise the
people possess the means of correcting all the evils
which may arise in our government, and that it
ought to be used for that purpose "-LeHeT TO he
Pennsylvania 1ntimdsonic state Committee.
Z" 1t 1.-THE exercise OF the removing and appointing
power to suppress freem1sontyl could not fail to
be the parent of mischie(s infinitely greater than
those is the design to cure. $50 Correct dis
ordersit that may arise of that character by the
power OF the people themselves by the authority
OF the state governments and let the appointments
by the President be made upon the good old rules
of Jeiierson-honesty, capacity and fidelity TO the
Constitution and further requirement which |

me to believe that 4 people in the possession Of
their rights as freemen, would ever be willing to
surrender them and submit themselves to the will
of a master"
d" contend that the strongest of all governments
is that which is most ree.'
" Man does not learn under oppression those
noble qualities and feelings which fit him for the
enjoyment of liberty"

sary to be eminently good. "-Letier to Dolirdr.

can succeed with the Green Mountain Boys. PO-
lhicaI Juggling will run a short race among the
descendants of Ethan Allen. L. d. Barber.
Our opposition to freemasonry and Executive
usurpation springs from the same principles. We
cannot, as consistent Antimasons do any less than
resist what deem unwarranted assumptions Of
power on the part Of the President. = = We act
in opposition to the measures Of the Executive
u strictly as AntimaSonS. We are only applying
doctrines our party have ever advocated, to a new
case and carrying them out into practice in relation
10 a new evil. f. ID. Barber.
content myself, on this occasion, with saying
that consider myself the honored instrument Sc
lected by the friends Of the present Administration
TO carry out lis principles and policy; and that
well from inclination from duty, shall, if hon
ored with the choice of the American people, en-
deavor to tread generally in the footsteps of Pres
dent Jackson--happy if ! shall be able to perfect
