    The Pree-Masons . By John Held . ( Illustrations of Social Depravity , No . 7 . )

    The active part of the population of the United States is , besides its other divisions , generally distributed into masons and anti-masons ; and the hostile feelings , connected with this division , hare their full share of the strength and bitterness which characterise the animosities of party conflict . Those who are curious about the origin and symptoms

    of so strange a phenomenon , may obtain more ample information than from any other source that we ate acquainted with , in thfe publication . It contains an account , of which the materials have been difigetitly collected and are well put together , of the forcible abduction , and as there is every reason to believe , murder , which was perpetrated about five years ago on an apostate mason , who bad undertaken to divulge the areAna of the fraternity ; mid also of the maimef in which the

    prevaleBce * of masonry amongst the administrators of justice baffled the most persevering attempts to carry the laws into effect on the parties implicated * The narrative is a very extraordinary one , and Mpptifted by authentic documents . Whether Mr . Reid be correct , httvrever , ifl making free-masonry so prominent amongst the manifestation * of social

    depravity , is rather doubtfuL Whatever the abuses of that iastttution * it vraa originally a self-defensive effort against the tyranny of the world ' s masters ; and it still is ,, to a large extent , a league of brotherly kindness , whjch , although defaced by many abrfurditie ' s * and especially degraded by oaths of secrecy , yet dfefcgrves to be ranked rather amongst theerrora of goodness , than the demonstratio n * of depravity .
