The last Northern J.ighi labors most strenuousfy to convince its readers that we did its 'conductors great injustice by admitting\that m its coj^pins of the 30th u!t. theres. was not a \native foig^ry, nor r editorially, any li fhing positively^Jibellogsf' 1 and aslcs its readers to suppress tlreir tstouif^ment, if possible, that such an adrrrissioh should have appe&red- in our paper. We most readily confess that our astonishment was as great, as that of the readers or The Light could have been, on the happening of tbis-- extraordinary contingency; aasX it was in coase— quence of its being an event of such rare occurrence*- that we desjred to bring the attention of the public to the subject. We felt under as much obligation^ to mention Ihe circumstance as we shouftl be tt»- speak of the appearance of any natural phenomenon. But it would seem that a writor ; for- the last Light,, considers certain paragraphs in thaf^paper »f Ihe 30th,- ,to°Bftv-ei)een \positively libellous,\ for fie-flays it charged upon the institution of Free masonry, that it influenced its sworn advocates to endeavor to con- trot and direct political power without reference to-. the party distinctions which individuals may hava assumed,\ and adds, that with this position before us we must have spoken \ironically\ when we. in- timated that it was not \positively libellous.\ By .. an ironical expression^ it is understood that the con- verse of what is asserted is to be taken as the sense of an author. It is, therefore, most clearly to be inferred, that in selecting this paragraph, and assert- • ing that when we spoke of it as not being \positively\ _ libellous,\ we are to be taken ironically, that tha writer intended to libel the institution of Free ma- sonry when he indited it. As we must admit that none can judg(j so well of an author's intention as the author himself, and as he insists upon qur belief'-' '• ing that the Light intended to sustain its character as ' '• a libeller on the 30th, we arc bound iu common cour. tesy lo do so. Auduifthe Light is so solicitous to a sustain the character of a libeller as to fly in apassioa when -we intimate tbat it has pursued a di£Uy;ent course, we must in future forbear noticing a similar occurrence,though we confess, judging from tbe post, that the prospect oflKn ing an opportunity to Jo it Is extremely remote and quite improbable. retjuired.
