TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

At a special meeting of Bellai re Lodge.
No. 267, Free and accepted Masons,
held at the Lodge room, convened for
the purpose of performing the funeral
service wei the remains of DR. E. P.
BIRDsoNG. the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
The Providences of the Grand Master
of the Universe are inscrutable and past
finding out; they appear in ''the pesti-
lence that wasteth at MONDAY" and in
the sudden bereavements that in a brief
space change a house of joy to an abode
of sorrow The experience of centuries
shows hat the great leveler-Death-
cometh alike to the palace and the no,
veto the poor and the rich. Yet
while the emblems of mortality
"The kncll, the pail, the mattock and the grave,
The deep damp vault, the coffin and the worm,'
admonish US that we must die, we have
the glorious assurance from our Great
Light, that the soul, like the ever-to-be
remembered Acacia, is an Evergreen, ri
sing in Death superior to decay, an
immortal part that will never, never,
never die.
1t hath pleased the Supreme Archi.
tect. in the wisdom Of his mysterious
Providence, TO take from among US our
dearly beloved brother, ELIJAH p. BIRD
N to "that all perfect, glorious and
celestial Lodge above" therefore,
Resolved, That in the decease of Bro.
BlRDsoNG. this Lodge has lost one of its
brightest jewels-"a perfect .Ashler;"
his family a devoted husband and fond
parent, this community a kind, atten.
tive and skillful physician, and society
a valuable member.
That it is not consolation but sympa-
thy-the deepest. and most affec tionate
sympathy we offer them in this the hour
of their overwhelming sorrow; but 1--WE
dare to say that 'He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb looks down
with Infinite compassion upon the
widow and fatherless. and that the same
benevolent Saviour who wept while here
on earth, will fold the arms of His love
and protection around those who put
their trust and confidence in Him."
That the furniture and jewels of this
Lodge be draped in mourning for the
period of six mouths and the members
wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days,
That the Secretary transmit a copy OF
these resolutions under the seal of the
Lodge to the family of the deceased, and
a copy to each of the papers in the coun.
ty, with the request to be published.

e-we are sorry indeed that the Er

V-We are sorry indeed that the Era
should think for a mUment that we inten-
perverted its language. In fact,
we will not plead gully. We will no
charge upon the Era anything Ike
Psruertion, but only what is equally criminal
avoidance, 0y Yankee cunning.
1t says the Ordinance of 1887 is not au-
thority. We simply ask, lie it authority
when it receives the sanction of the trainers
of the Constitution, and of the people Of
the country! We quoted from Col. BEsror,
not as our authority but as the authority OF
the Era, and if he is worth anything in its
quotation, then he is in ours. And wha;
does he say! Why plainly that this Or
dinance does give full authority. But says
the Era, in relation to Territories ceded af-
Ter iheaConstitution was adopted, granting
that they would be authority. "These 4es-
sions did not say that slavery should or
should not exist in the Territories ceded."
But what is the language OF the cession Of
the Territory OF North Carolina. After pro-
viding that the temporary government shall
be the cam as that of the North West Ter
ritory concludes as follows: Prouided al
Gays, that no regulations made, or to be
made by Congress. shall tend to emancipate
slaves" Now If Congress had no power to
make any law effect;ng this Territory what
was the use of this prohibition. This was
the case IN each of the c~essions TO which
we have before alluded, and 80 far from dis.
Claiming power of Legislation as the Era
would have it; in each and every case Con-
gress assumes it. 1t is never questioned
To say that Congress shall not make laws
for tie government of one Territory, on 9
particular question, is not saying that il
shall not do it to another, is not saying
that Congress has not got discretionary
power, but simply that in this case the DOW.
er is reserved for another. In the cessior
OF the Territory of Georgia it was expires.
sly stipulated that the Ordinance 1887 shal
In all ITS parts extend to the Territory con
tanned in the present act of Cession, tina
article only excepted which forbIds slavery
and why the exception! Simply because
these states wished to secure slavery to thi.
Territory by the ~cession. So confident thai
Congress had the power, that it was neces.
sary 10 insert a. provision to keep it from
being exercised. But one point worthy o
NOTICE in these cessions, is that in each the
Ordinance OF 1887 is endorsed. Now The
Era thinks this act would give authority bu'
that il is prior to the Constitution, but if il
lie endorsed, as it was in these cessions, il
1870, and in l77s we ask. does ii not tier
become pretty good authority. We thinl
1t does. Now unless the Era is only de.
termined to give the last hit, it would Dc
well to "plOy quit" We do not like sucl
guiding as is manifest in its last article.
