We come to period while Solomon stood

Ethiopian woman, aperson of peculiar wealth
and intelligence, comes up to the Metropolis.

Jewish religion, for he was reading the
Prophecies of Isaiah. BY close examination
it is clear that the church understood the
Greek language, as he was distinguished
person, and Philip, Il minister of the New
Testament, instructed him more fully in the
Hebrew language, and made with him a
common cause in the great principle of com.

alike to every race and complexion of the
human family. The charter referred to is
right and properly obtained, while the refusal
of the Grand Lodge of the United States was
only denial founded upon prejudice against
the negro, without the slightest ground OF
excuse otherwise than hate to the negro, and
an unmanly desire to Cypress the negro and
his descendants. The allegations of "none
but descendants of free races" are as false
as the devil, whom "NORTH OF TIE PoTO-
MAC" represents. We will here present our
chart in its due form for the inspection of all,
and promise the world to continue our work

darkness which now rests on "NORTII OF
THE POTOMAC," and all who have imbibed
like prejudces against race they help to
cover with shame. The highest virtues
claimed by tho world of mankind, are truth
and honesty. The battle is now in that di-
| rectiOn, and our heart and hands shall foster
their claims, =" in the dark as we'll as in the

and have tear of sympathy to pour or drop
upon his disaflected heart, and hope when he
again writes about the negro being debarred
from the right of Odd-Fellowship, he will ex-
anime sacred and prOfane record, else he will
prove himself still more ignorant on the sub
jects upon which he writes. a biased mind
never can attain to that degree of friendly
celebrity that is attainable to the noble and
honest heart. That "NoRTH OF THE PO-
