To THE lender FooTED.-There is a class of
people in the world who have very'tender feet.
)
and should any one unconsciously step on
their feet they set up q terrible homl about il.
We think it would be o good plan for such
persons not to wear tight shoes or boots, but on
the contrary have them large, heavy soled, aud
made Of good, substantial, firm leather, then a
light "tramp" will not max. them "squeak"
so prodigiensly. To such we would recon-
mend that they go to Stones or Coe g. Junker's
Boot s. Shoe Shops and we think the .tender
footed 7 gentry Of our town can get q safe an

Masonry and k10lisics.

The enemies Of the Mas luic fra
ternity have ever tried to arouse pop
ular prejudice against this time hon
orel Institution. by IA ising the
clamor of the political dema que,
that, as a social organization, We
are dangerous to government. This
charge is without tounda ton, as is
evident from the past history and
present position of >Iasons in rcla-
ton to the respective governments
under which they live, the world
over.
Masons have never been reyoiu-
tionary people, and Masonsy, as Il
social institution, is conservative in
its teaching and practices. 1t takes
no position in politics, and prOhib-
its the introduction of political ques-
tions into its discussions. 1t has
existed under every form Of govern
ment known to history, and done its
work for society peacefully, but sue
cessfullv, under the administration
Of all the great political parties in
Europe and America. 1t teaches
Obedience to the laws, submissisn to
authority, and reverence for the
usasea Of the past. --...
Ii is, therefore, impossible for an
institution that teaches tic pratice
cf such social and political virtues
to favor political revolutions and
social outbreaks, that would disturb
the peace of society, CT sap the foun-
dations of government. 1t is sur
prising how any rationa! and sane
mind could credit, for NJ, ment, the
base SANDER ire ulated by our enc
mics to awaken popular prejudice
against us. Are not the husbands,
brothers, fathers. sons, friends and
ncighbors of these individuals, Ma
Sons? Do they net all testify that
thcro is nothing in either the teach
ing or practice IF Masonry at war
with our republican institutions, or
that will, in any way, endanger our
civil. political and religious liber
ties We receive their testimony
on all other subjects, bow can we
constantly refuse to receive it when
saey positively affirm that such is
the charat ter of the Masonic insti
tuition? Beside; wonld it not be
a strange moral and social phenom-
ena for Methodists and Baptists,
Prcsbytcrians and Episeopalians,
Quakcrs and Catholics, Luthcrans
and Umvcrsalists, Democrats and
Wings, though they arc opposed to
each other on nearly all other sub
jccts. should league together as Ma,
sons to undermine our republican
institutions, and subvcrt our gov.
ernmcnt? No sane mind can bel,cve
this possible. 1t would be socia
miracle. But if Masonry be eppos
ID to our government, if it's influence
lin society is calculated to cndange
our liberties, how did it happen tina
all the sigucrs of the Declaration 0
Independence, and the trainers O
our Republican Constitution, wer
Masons, but six? If Masonry b
opposed to Republican government
how shall we account for the fac
that all the generals in the Amer
can army were Masons?
These facts should forever silenc
such obicctlons to Masonry. Real
ard truly, Masonry, as benevolel
Institution, has no political chara'
ter. has no political purpose, al
does not aim or try to exert any p
litical influence Her work is hig

MEXICO.
Queretaro Entirely Surrounded by
the Liberals.
Capture Of Macmillan Confident
Iy Expected.

NEW YORK, April 2
The Herald's Mexican correspondence says
the Liberals have advanced SO closely upon
Vera Cruz that the Imperialsts fire upon them
from the walls. A surrender of the city had
been demanded and refused by Gen. Gomez.
1t was reported that Diaz had partially occu-
pied Pueba.
WASHINGTON April g
Official news from San Luis Potosi up to the
18th ult, has been received here. The expect
ed battle had not taken place.
Escobado has been appointed to the com
nand OF the concentrated armies in the north
west and centre.
Trevino has succeeded Escobado as com
mander of the army of the north.
Macmillan and his troops were at Quere
tero, fortifying.
The Liberals had occupied Laestan de lo
Vacas, nine miles west of Quretaro, ON the Ce
on the road to the City of Mexico, Santa Rosa
ten miles north on the road to San Luis, anC
Auto, close to the south. The city was there
foro surrounded on all sides and communica
ton entirely cut Off Macmillan had attempt
ed to send accommodating parties out of the
city of Queretero, but they invariably wen
over to the Liberals, stating that the troops in
side were very much demoralized and that al
the natives would join the Liberals as soon al
they had an opportunity of doing So
The Imperialists had about $500 men at tn,
City of Mexico, under Sabera. Most of then
had, however, been forcibly taken into the ser
vice, and cannot be relied on.
Generals Diego, Alvarez, Rivas, Palacio
Martinez, LosiO, Melee and others invest very
closely the City of Mexico, and have already
isolated it from the interior.
Puebla was defended by 1000 men under
Noyiego, and Gen. Diaz, with 5000 men had
begun his operations to take it.
Should Macmillan be captured, as it is con
fidently expected he will, the cities of Mexico
and Vera Cruz will surrender without firing
single shot more. -1zn r--

YtTYtb OONGRIss.--Exocutivs Session.
WAsHNcToN, April 2.

WASHINGION, <apIli Il
SENATE.
NJ 1,,uao, rose to a privileged question.
No dafanded Mr. Thomas, Senator elect from
Maryland. from the charge contained in the
renort made nv the Bank OF Commerce of New
York to its stockholders, dated March 18th,
wb;2a Secretary of the Treasury, in 1860, had
ta;iad m provide for the interest on the public
debt. falling due Jan. LIST, in that year. The
report adds There was evidently wicked and
reasonable plot to disgrace the credit of the
United States by default in the PAYMENT of The
interest on its stocks, by neglecting to provide
for the oncers OF the army and navy, and the
civil and diplomatic list, including the salaries
OF members of Congress then i'm session. He
detailed the history of Mr. Thomas connection
WIN tne Buchanan administration, and said
mat when he came into the Department he
found the Treasury almost depleted, and there
was hardly money enough to meet the daily
wants of theiG Government. Congress authorized
loan OF SD 100000. When the bids were open
ed on the 9th and 18th of Dece mber, he found
that the Bank of Commerce had offered to take
million and half at discount of IL per
cent; at that time the public debt did not ex-
coed seventy millions. He hesitated to accept
the exorbitant terms. Before he had decided,
the late cashier of the Bank, Richard Smith,
brought to the Department a dispatch from the
Bank of Commerce, saying that it could take
all the loan at the same rate, IL per cent. This
made him hesitate; he thought it very plain
speculation but rather than run the hazard OF
of letting the Government credit suffer from
afaiure to meet it's obligations, he agreed to re
ceive the bid AID the bank was so advised. MIR,
johnson then alluded to Thomas's correspon-
dence with Mr.. Cisco on that subject, by which
it appeared that the bank at that time was
debtor to the United States in the sum of So
100000. The Secretary of the Treasury sue
cessfully arranged for the payment OF the in
terest falling due in January 1861 at New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston,
Savannah, New Orleans and st. Louis, and il
was punctually paid, 1t would be seen from
official data that the Bank Of Commerce which
claimed the credit of supplying the deficien-
cies, that it did nothing more than comply
with the terms of an oppressive contract
which the necessities of the Government had
forced it to enter into The statement of the
bank, was not supported by particle of evil
dence.
Mr.. johnson submitted a letter of Secretary
McCulloch, saying that nothing appears in the
record of the Department showing a want OF
fidelity on the part of Mr.. Thomas. Mr.. John
son also had letter read from Mr. Thomas de-
nying the charges and asking through MIR.
johnson full investigation of the whole sub
ject by the Senate. s. q ..,.l B.. +-.s.a,
After further debate Mr.. Thomas's letter was
referred to the Committee On the judiciary.
The Senate then went into an executive ses
sion and after several hours being occupied
therein, adjourned. .t.a's
