One REASON WHY.---We have been
asked, says the Amador Dispatch, why
some Democrats so strenuously oppose
the emancipation of slaves. We answer
that the Democracy does not wish the
slaves to be set free to come among US
and compete with white labor. The
Democratic party is the friend of the
white working man. Let the negroes
loose into the free States and they will,
by their great numbers bring down all
prices of labor, and especially injure the
Irish and German laborers, who earn
their bread by the hardest and steadiest
toll. The Democratic party, the great
friend of these hard working men, desires
to keep the negroes away from the OPP
portunity of interfering with the labor
rights of the white men of the free States.

some STEALING.--A member of the
House Finance Committee stated on the
floor of Congress, in recent debate, that
about one hundred and eighty millions Of
dollars Of the public money were unac-
counted for and supposed to have been
squandcrcd and stolen. Part of this i'm.
mense sum the Republicans have expend-
ed in substituting newspapers and in en-
ploying spies and needy adventures to
inform upon and villify Democrats. A
part Of it will be sent to this State to de.
feat the Democratic party.

magic words which Heavens own hand in
scribed upon Virtues shield when she
went forth to struggle with Satanic adver-

of the VIM. aid consent Of the Brcth-
ercn of the North Star Lodge Number %
Of A.'.F.'.&A.'.M.'. of Minnesota the dis
tinguishing honor of receiving from your
hands this Gift from the Wives, Sisters,
Daughters and Grand-daughters of Ma
sons in this jurisdiction,-this beautiful
copy Of the Holy WR1rrxos has been
conferred upon me, however unworthily.
To the donors, you will please convey
the most sincere thanks and grateful &C.
acknowledgements of the Lodge I have the
honor to represent for their beautiful and
and truly invaluable Gift while to you,
as the honored medium through which
this "Great Light" comes to US in all its
ettulgent beauty, and for the words of
kindness, appreaciativs respect and hearty
''good cheer which accompany it, allow
me in behalf Of this Lodge, the Worship
ful Master, Wardens and Bretheren all to
thank you, gratefully and most sincerely.
AS you have said, this gift to US is
most fitting and appropriate one. Mason
ry is an art: and it is also a progressive
science, which has for its object the elepa-
ton of man What object more noble,
more stimulating, more worthy tho pur-
suit Of its adherents or devotees? This
world is but the school where opportuni-
ties are afforded and means presented fol-
the fitting us for a higher, freer, nobler
state Of existence. What monitor, what
guide, what chart more complete, more
useful, more reasonable, more necessary
in the pursuit Of our preparatory studies,
than tho '"GREAr LIGHT" We here and
now receive at your hands?

organization Of human society: no scheme

and other buildings with which it was sur
rounded. It was supported by fourteen
hundred and fifty three columns and two
thousand nine hundred and six pilastres,
all hewn from the finest Parian marble.
There were employed in it's building three
Grand Masters, three thousand and three
hundred masters or overseers of the work,
eighty thousand Fellen Crafts, and seven
ty thousand entered apprentices or bear
ers of burdens. All these were classed aad
arranged in such manner blythe wisdom of
Solomon, that neither envy, discord nor
confusion were suffered to interrupt that
universal peace and tranquility, which per-
vaded the world at this important period !;
and thus, under the supervision of two
eminent kings favored by the smiles and
appreciation of the Great Jehovah, was Or
ganized tho first body or lodge Of opera
tive Masons.
From this time the tents or tabernacles
Of the Jews were superseded by buildings
formed of wood, stone and mortar, by
workmen who had learned the art while
at work upon the temple; and scattering
themselves throughout all Jewery, Assyria
and even from sea to sea, the Craft pur-
sued their uninterrupted labors commune
eating their knowledge to all whom they
found worthy, until the overthrow of the
Jewish nation by a powerful and inveter-
ate foe, who to make his victory more
complete, defaced the holy vessels of the
sanctum sanctorum., bearing them away
as trophies of victory leaving the beauti.
full Temple and tho city surrounding it, a
mass Of smouldoring ruins. We here loose
all trace of that noble band of architects
who had done so much towards beautify-
ing the earth with noble aud stately struct.
ures-ouly so tar as the art and its records
were kept closely concealed by the "favor-
cd and enlightened few" who remember
