ly Ghost,which is the kingdom of God. The proposed canvass in Ver-mont by the editor and a Ver-mont clergyman nest spring, is •?strongly approved and endorsedin a letter from Mr. C. P. Potter,of Guilford Center. Both gentlemen are natives ofand have a large acquaintance in the State; and bothhave long experience in addressing public assem-blies. Both, too, understand and have been life-long opponents of secret societies; and as Vermontcast her electoral vote solid for Wirt and Ell makerin 1832; and as the children of those voters are yetalive, and remember the dying testimonies of theirparents whose prayers went with their votes againstthe lodge; and, more material still, thousands stilllive who saw the Vermont lodges turned inside out,and their degrading and criminal secrets exposed;it is thought no spot in the United States promisesa fairer hearing than the Green Mountain State.We thank Mr. Potter for his prompt action, andhope every Vermonter who hears of it will copy hisexample.

Morgan, or the Masons by thousands to get his mur-derers clear and send them out of the country.Gentlemen reformers, the blood of murder is onyour hands every time you give a grip or make aMasonic sign! For as Christ said, the blood of allthe prophets down the ages was on that generationof Morgan killers, assassins of men who told un-popular and unwelcome truth, so the blood of theman sunk at midnight in Niagara River reddens onyour regalia and rusts on your jewels. And if theghosts of the murdered dead ever come back to thescenes of secret assassination, the undergroundrooms beneath your monster temples in Philadel-phia, New York and elsewhere, have felt their wallssweat cold drops of blood, and echoed nightly thesighs and agonies of men murdered like Pritchard,Miller, Morgan, Brownlee and others, for no crimebut telling the truth concerning Masonry, and soviolating oaths More honored In the breach than theobservance, because the oaths themselves arecrimes and sins which God re-quire
