In 182G. V\ tllrnm Morgan, your free fellow ciui-n, \vas, by luyhly exalted members ofthe masonic fratciiuty, with unlawful violence, seized—secretly trans ported through thc country ot >re rh.in one hundred nntns, l»u foi tress of the United State*, then m chargo of frre-ma- sons, who had prepared it for his rccc)>- lion—-there imprisoned, several days aud nights, agatml I jk utmost < fforls to cs- capo—and after suffering the most tin- manly insult*, and the most inhuman a base, h r was privately murdered. Pro viously to htsscwire, numerous meetings of frec-nmsons. in Indies nnd otherwise, were held for the purposes of contriving and adopting lhe most certain mevis oi rnrryinginto effect, their unlawful objects as soon as applied, sod happily extin guished. But tho reckless determination nf iho incendiary, und Ins coadjutors, ts farther confirmed, by considering, that a fam’Iy of (on persons occupied the lower part of tbe buildtug; whilo iho printer’s assistants, six in number, always slept in iho upper rooms. The incendiary is known, and was subsequently a principal iu tlie murder of Morgan. Other evidences of malice against the primer have been manifested. On one occasion, large numbers of masonic rufll- anv armed with clubs, assembled under different leaders, m tho ni<*!u lime, in the vicinity nf lhe pnutsu\ office, with the de clared purpose of obtaining the inten ded publication,by violence; from which they wore prevented, only by tho formi dable preparations ‘o defend it, mude by the primer. On another occasioo, a ma sonic constable, accompanied and abet ted hy a crowd of his brethren, under fdse pretence of having a cnnnuul pro cess, for that purpose, arrested him—ear ned him io a neighboring village—there dh»g \i!y coufitud him in a lodjje room— assaulted him—and threatened him with lhe fate of Mur&itn. By the assistance oJ friends, and the exertion of his own acm e iuircpidity, the printer, at length, scaped. It is a remarkable circum stance evincing extensive concert and premeditation, that, on the day of this arresi, all thc magistrates of thc town, where it took place, wero summoned into another town as witnesses, and could not be applied t«», for any interposition of thc end authority, to preserve thc public peace, or lo protect the rights ofthe id- tmded wctiui. bur these o/Teuces, the constable and several others were indict ed, und convicted. The sceno of these occurrences was tho western part of the stato t f New- York. Where tho people arc intelligent and free, sutli eiionijines as those, to which wo hate referred, could not be commij ted, wuhout producing cxcilemciit. Lv- rv unperverted feeling, und etery up- r ght \oice, anxiously claimed the impar tial and prompt application to them, of iho appninlbd powers «>f our criminal ju- nsprudince.
