.dnti- Masonrn-We regret to see that the Publisher of the Selma Courier, continues to lend his aid to the ridiculous and extravagant, yet imbecilc opposition to the Masonic Fra ternitv, which still seems tC be making gasp ing effort in the counties of Dallas and Au- tauga.

 For the last eight or ten months, the Cour- fer has teemed W th the most sham eful slan- dcrs against the prof, ssors of Nlsonry-slan- ders which rot only tended to traduce the character of the great and good men who are vet amongus, but at the same time to 'damn to everlasting fame" the memory and the re- putaticn of the llustrous dead.

 Itis ;,ue, that the publisher of the Courier, in the (, urse which he has persued, atfeCs a great q sl If sincerity, and a wonderful dis play of lbcrality. But we cannot view these exhibitions of profcssed dsinterestcdness in a spirit either If confidence or forbearance.- The publisher, if he is acquainted with the history If the country in which he lives, must know that the most pious and enlightened Di- viries, the most eminent and distinguished Patriots and Statesmen, have.been, and still C, ntnue to bc, the Patrons and Benefactors If Masonry. If he is acquainted with this fact, and lends his paper to the calumniation ofthe institutin n, he ought to-be booted out of eve " virturus and intelligent communitv-but if he is Ignorant that such is the estimation in winch tie Fraternity is held from "Polc to Pole," then ou" indignation should be mcrg- cd into pity aud contempt, and we should forgive the fault which it would be almost in- humanity to punish or condemn.

 As we have some knowledge of the rise and progress of Anti Masonry in Dallas and Au- tauga counties, we may hereafter, probably, be induc, q to give the public a succinct histo- " it; &nG we pledge ourselves to do so, and that tee, in the most efficient manner, should circumstances hereafter require it.
