During one Of the Sessions William II Young,
Esq Grand Master, delivered the address, which
contained much of interest to the Order From

the general condition of the Order was in mate

that cheerfulness, good order, and increased fra
ternal sentiment characterize the mem bership.
The new feature recently introduced, which per-
mtts Lodges TO visit each other In a body, attend
ed by their officers, and which are Familiarity
known as frateTnal visits, has seemed to meet the
very cordial approval Of the brothers and Lodges
in this jurisdiction, and many have awaited them
selves of the privilege. They have been pleasant
seasons Of friendly greetings and intercourse.
The several amendments offered 70 the constitu-
ton were adopted. One ofSthem requires the
subordinate Lodges to send in their semi annual
reports OF the number of members. reflections,
suspensions and expulsions, together with the
dues, &c, as is required by the regulations Of
the Grand Lodge of the United States. The next

Lodge shall continue in office until the April

SIMNERING DOwN.-The New York Journal IF
Commerce shows that Douglasism is already coming
to be properly appreciated by the Democratic
masses at the North-as for some time past in the
South--as being neither more nor less than a
"short cut' TO abolitionism. 1t is evident from
the statistics that journal publishes that the Doug
las leaders cannot hope to secure single siectora
vote for their nominees unless they can induce
the Breckinridge and Bell men to unite with
them In doubtful northern States in voting for
single electoral ticket; and then, by such means
they can at best have but a hope that they may be
able-nOt to elect Douglas-but to squeeze his
name into the Representatives hall as one Of the
three from whom it may be the province Of the
lower House Of Congress to select a successor TO
James Buchanan
