THE election of Mr.. Thurman as Sena-
tor from Ohio displaces Mr.. Wade in the
Senate at the beginning Of the next Con-
gress. Mr.. Wade then completes his
third term, having been in the Senate
eighteen years, during the most exciting
period of the nations existence. He has
been thorough Radical from the Begin
| ming. He is a man of profound conyic.
tions, and midst all the terrorism bv
which the plantation oVerseers attem pied
to rule, and the Political profgacy by
which their Northern friends attempted
to ruin, the country, he has been neither
| intinidated nor CORFU lied. With some
faults of impulsiveness and indiscretions
! of speech, he has the sterling traits of an
honest, undaunted man, friend of the
poor, the oppressed, the weak, and the
friendless, who may have occasion to re-
eret his zeal, but never to distrust his
fidelity.
Mr.. Thurman who succeeds him is a
! man of stroag personal character. unim-
peachable in all that pertains to the NOR
alities of public and private life, and as a
Judge on the Supreme Bench 10 Ohio he
acquitted himself to the general satisfac-
ton. As bitter in his feelings and opin-
ions as Vallaadighana, he has the good
fortune to be more prudent. While it
would have been more just to the inspira-
tion and convictions of the Democratic
party to have rewarded Mr. Valandg-
ham with this office, he has thus far not
only been persistently ignored, but has
only kept without the camp on account
of bis political leprosy. We shall expect
to find in Judge Thurman, however, as
il rable case of it, with less of the ex
terual symptoms that make Vallandigham
so obnoxious, -Detrou Post.

SPIRIT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PREss.-
The following extract is from the last
number Of the La Crosse Democrat re.
celved AS that sheet has the largest cir.
cuiation of any Democratic paper in the
Northwest, We suppose it speaks the sem
tlments of the party:
SHERMAN, TIE GHoUL.-There was
Sherman, the military ghoul, the hero of
the famous march to the sea, through an
enemy's country, with no enemy to oppose
him save the aged, the decrepit and the
helpless, who educated his troops to sub
sist on the enemy and leaving no living
thing in their wake How we'll they car
ried out his berbarous orders, Columbia,
Atlanta, and thousand places of lesser
note throughout tie desolated South will
bear witness how well they profted by
the example and precepts of their master
Of the art Of robbing, and murder, and
arson, the crowded penitentiaries, prisons
and poor houses of the North will testify !;
'cho made ,car as no civilized soldier has
done sance the time Of the last crassades,
and 1obo IS rewarded therefor By the soor-
ship Of the Mongrels." -

Memphis Rite.


Hon. C. C. Burt, So:
Dear Sir: I beg leave hereby to re-
sign the Deputy Grand Mastership of
the Rite of Memphis. My reasons for
doing so are briefly these
l. The necessity for preservation of
Masonic harmony, which, by continued
organized action of those connected
with the rite, is seriously imperiled.
2. Ny conviction that, under present
auspices, it is utterly impossible for the
rite to gain recognized existence in this
city or surrounding territory.
3. The impossibility of any good re-
suit from Its establishment, even if sue
cessfully accomplished.
I. Personal inability to perform the
duties which the office Of D. g. NJ from
its nature demands.
Personally, 1 have received from you
that kindness which shall never cease
to be grateful for, and | have to this
hour defended you from all attacks from
whatever quarter. | have no further
Masonic ambition -sle gratifed, but l
have an intense aho -siding anxiety to
retain my old and constant Masonic
friends, all of whom discomtenance the
formation of aay new Masonic organiza-
ton. ! am tired of strife. l want to
be at peace.
had rather withdraw from all of Ma
sonry than to be longer exposed to all
the pickering, misrepresentation and ma
leyolence which my present position in
wolves
Violation of Masonic confidence seems
to be the rule in the highest degrees, of
which l have Just been informed of a
striking instance. | shall not specify,
but leave this statement just where it is,
in the shadow
1t remains only for me to add that,
while | have no doubt of the validity of
the desrees of the Rite of Memphis
which you eaufer, there is no longer any
sovereign sanctuary" in Chicago or
elsewhere in this country, at least having
an existence recognizable by any Ma
sonic body. Such an organization had
a right to exist, perhaps had tempo
rary, evanescent existence, but the stern
truth is, it no longer has a being, and
here, at least, not to be galvanized into
even a semblanee of vitality. It's use
less to pratraet the struggle, the logic
of events " is stronger than human
will.
With sincerest wishes for your per-
sonal happiness and prosperity, l re-
main,
Very respectfully yours,
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-06-28

compelled to enter his protestagainst it;
But Bro Gouley approves it, without
due consideration, we trust.
Whoever sits in the Grand Orient of
France must ordinarily sit with negro
Brother and it is useless to say that
the law of Masonry excludes a man
physically, mentally and morally quail
fed, because of his race or color. Lodges
may choose to receive man of another
race; that is their prerOgatiye. But to
allow political questions to cause lnno-
vations in Masonry win quickly destroy
it. And we frankly but fraternally sug-
gest to our Southern Brethren, that
their course in endeavoring to change
the old rule opens the door to changes
in the other directions Let us, there
fore, adhere to the landmarks, and sail
our good old ship with even keel, avoid
ing Scylla on the one hand and Charyb-
dis on the other.
Upon the subject thus discussed. we,
for one Mason. have few very plain
words to say. When we were made
Mason, and passed, and raised, We did
not bind ourselves by the solemn VOWS
of the Order to acknowledge negroes as
our Masonic Brethren and to risk our
life to save the life Of a negro who might
demand it in the manner known to Ma
sons. That is not within the length
of or cable-tow." The obligations Of
Masonry are onerOus enough, when SO
many Indifferent white men are, after
fashion, Masons. We never entered into
any covenant of brotherhood with Ne
gro Masons.
The warrant granted to Prince Hall
and others, by the Provincial Grand
Master, qoas regular Grand Lodges
had not then established the law, nolo in
force in this country, that a Grand
Lodge has the right to prohibit the ere
alton of a Lodge within its jurisdiction
by any other power than itself. And If
the negro Lodges and Grand Lodges are
irregular, they can easily regulate them
selves by getting warrants from the
Grand Orient of Haiti for if our Grand
Lodges will not grant them charters,
they have right to 90 elsewhere for
them.
1t is of no use to Grade the question.
You cannot get lion out of your path,
by winking and shutting your eyes, and
imagining that he is no longer there.
The question has to be met. The Grand
Lodges of the Northern States viii soon
be creating negro Lodges, and their sub
ordinates accepting negroes as Masons.
For ourself, we say, and we think all
Southern Masons who are white men
will say so too, that when we are re-
quired to acknowledge negroes as Ma
sons, we shall consider that Masonry had
better be abandoned and we shall
surely abandon every branch of it, in
which it is attempted to bind us in the
bonds of fraternity with the African.
What the Grand Orient of France does
imports little to us. If we cannot be
Masons without accepting negroes as
brethren, we shall decline to aeknOwl-
edge the existence Of any such bonds.
