It is iq bv ought where alone it is 10 be fou.<jd—in its intrenchiucnts Auti'm asonry, thcrSr fore, »s necessarily p<•Jitical It is by the hope of advantage, and tlm expectation uf office q:i<I undue 11 .fluoric* that iho young nnd ainbittous aio drawn into the tods of in iso.try iJlast tlo» hopo, destroy this expectation, at:d tb* institution dies. If those views aro correct, it is evident that anti-masonry c innot stop m mid course, and coniine its operati »us to tin state govetnments, and tbit its reforming spirit must beextcndel to ill*' (*oveiti ment of the Union ; and ei.peci»dly to it* executive braneh. Tlie exertions of the masonic institution, as m ini!es(('d by the project at lhe c.ipind, in March, 1822, tn organize a General (*rand Lodge o*' the United Stales, have long been diiected t“ the ucq>iisili<>n of tbe entire control of tbe extensive .patron t«*e of tbe federal gov ernment T h c projcct of org iuizmg that central power, m ty be ft»r tho preseut uio- mdtu suspended. It was defeated ut tiie timo by tbe State Grand Lodges, from tbeir jealousy of a superior pow e r; but it wdl never he finally abandoned while ma sonry exists. If it shall ever boexecu* ted, tho Ci»mmiltco need not say, thai from that time the General Grand Lodgu of the United States will exclusively con trol the Presidential cloctiou. Tho elec tors will bo no more than passive instru ments to registt r tbo decrees issued ut Was’Rington. A permanent central pow er, possessing a perfect organization alio of subject societies throughout ibo Uni on, w ith sovereign legislmon, sworn sc- crecy, permanent funds, corporate rights iu many states, with safe halls for consul tation, und penalties nf death for disobe dience of orders, and tbe whole avowed ly uctuutod by political pin poses, mu* necessarily engross ail power, if it choose to do so. T h e people under H can be no more than tenants at sufferance. To what degree masonry has ah eady succeed ed in ongrossing governmental patron- ago, opinions vary , but it is known to be alarmingly great. Anti-masonry would bo defeated in us efTorts to frco the Uud of masonic rulo and pollution, unless nn able and a d?cidcd opponent o f masonry be placed in the Prosidaolial chair.
