| Through the courtesy Of the postmaster
at Bingham. last week. l had the pleasure
OF looking over a copy of the Journal Of
the date of Dee. %. 1888. II was rather .
small affair compared With the Journal Of
today II was yellow with age, and some
WAT the worse for wear, having been
/ found IN mouse .sst in an old .,t;c
still the greater part of it was 20.
fectiy legible. One Of the interest.
ing things vas letter from VIM. II.
Harrison, dated Cincinnati, May 9Th, 1885 /;
also = letter from Daniel Webster dated
Boston, Nov. 20, 1885. from which will
/ give an extract. This letter was written
to the Ant-Masonic Delegates Of Ale
gany. and in this letter he says: IAN Sc
cfet associations the members Of which take
upon themselves extraordinary obligations
to one or another, are bound together by
secret oaths, are, naturally, source Of
Jealousy and just alarm to others, are ss-
! pecialiy unfsvorsble to harmony and mu-
tual confidence among men living together
under popular institutions; and are danger.
Gus TO the general cause Of civil liberty and
good Cover nment. Under the influence of
this conviction, it is my opinion that the
future standardization of all such oaths. and
the imposition of all such obligations,
should be prohibited by law SO muc for
Daniel.
