We hope the public mind will soon become set
tied in relation to the Morgan business which has
created so much excitement. The subject has been
referred tc the legislature, and mass of docu-
ments relating thereto have been communicated BY
the Governor. re committee to which the mat
ter IS referred consists Of gentlemen of the first
standing in the house Of Assembly, both for talents
and unbending integrity No man Of that commit
Tee IS OF the masonic fraternity, and hence we can
not but hope that whatever report they may make
VIII be satisfactory to those who are so loud in their
prescriptions of the whole craft for the misconduct
Of few, who acted without the knowledge of their
brethren ana against the first principles Of the Or
der, whose aim it is to preserve harmony, 10 the
END that public morality may be advanced and the
Jaws OF the land in which they reside be duly res
pec'ed


Os the nature Of the documents submitted 10 thc
committee, Of course we know nothing, but we
nave lull confidence that those gentlemen will do
ample justice to the subject committed to their
charse. In the mean time we cannot but protest
against the violent language held in several of tbe
western towns at public meetings, as being calcu
lated to defeat the ends of justice and plant the
thorns OF irreconclleable rancor in neghbourhoods
where ,he people have hitherto lived in peace with
each other. We allude to the broad denunc;ot;nno
of all who happen to belong to the frate,n;tv or
Masons, prescribing them as being unwortby of
pubhc confidence, and declaring lasting warfare 4.

we protest against this, not as fearing that such
violent course will work an injury to the inst;tu.
ton; but as being at war with the mild prnoinles
oil christianity, and disgraceu to the day in which
we i've. Some Of these misguided men have gone so
