Fideiius has displayed as little knowledge in Free-masonry as in religion. The antiquity of that art is lost in the mystery of aes; in what country it first became a science amongst men, is uncertain. It is thought by some, that it w as instituted as a study by the Uramins, and afterwards carried into other nations. The principles of Free-masonry are eternal; they embrace every moral and sacred rule of rijrht, and each country and religion has some peculiarities of their own; vet masonry is the same. If Fidelius is a mason I entreat him to apply himself more closely to Its sacred injunctions, and learn to clear his own eye of the beam, before taking the mote from his brother's. Am In your paper of last week I observed an article s-igiv.'d v. ,v.s in which there is a blunder which a selicol-b'-v who had once if one through Go'd.-mitir's Hi-sfnrv ot io:,,c, would have blushed to have mad e Th if pa"sae runs tiwtr: "The liomnn jrnvcrnment, ilie ie:;st enlighten-

The first is a translation of a pasrag?4 of Tacitus, the heathen historian, giving an account of the burning of Home by iNero, A. D. C I. "But neither the Emperor's donations, nor the atonements offered to the gods, could remove the scandal of this repoit; but it w is still believed that the city had been burnt by his instigation: Nero, i therefore, to put a stop to the rumour, 'charged the fact, and inilictcd the sever est punishments for it upon (lie Christhe reign of Tiberius w as pur to death by rontius rilate. i he destructive ai - perstition which was by this moans sup- ' - -

It is to be found in Sir V. Melworth's trans lation of 1 liny s hpistles.

The following is from Goldsmith's History, page 279. "A raging pestilence spreading terror and desolation through all parts of the western world; earthquakes, famines, and inundations, such as had never before happened; the products of the earth throughout all Italy devoured by locusts, all the barbarous nations surrounding the empire ar.d making their irruptions een imo Italy itself.

In the. course of thi conversation &e vtckes the governor 9ay that ho heheres Mr. Adams was constitutionally elected; that he btlieves the charge of bargain and corruption against the administration bad its origin with den. Jackson, and is untrue; that tbe opposers of the administration are a tiolent and outrageous faction; and that it is the duty of every man, governor cr peasant, to support the administration against such a faction The great vhject of all tl.ia rnaroeuvering, is to show that the governor is deci Jedly an administration imnj and the 'fleet , if it ba9 any, tbat be go far h st s the respect be ought ta have for a portion of his constituents, as to denounce the opponents cf Mr, Adams as an outrageous faction.

U if 4 n.atter well known to the Ihookviilo editor, tl)9t to seeure Mr. Ray'a election he must get a luge portion of the Jackson votes in this state; nevfithcli S5, under the cover of friendship, this same editor attempts to destroy the confidence ol that p.irtv in the governor, by exhibiting him to the public as a pliant, supple instrument of circum?tncr s, ready to be used l7 either party.
