I m
say the leatt uf it; nitlior than briug it to
I’ight, aad the t>ccediiig Masons to trial*
Yet, on what ground is tlie charge of
perjurj- made? It is on the grcund that thoae
acceding Masons were under soloinn oaths
to conceal the secn-tsof the order, the oaths,
obligations, principles and deeds of Mason
ry. Now there is no |>erjury with regard
to a promissory' oath, H illiout i)reaking that
promise made undcj- oatli. If then, seced
ing Masons had sworn to conceal certain
secrets, they nro not perjured on those oaths,
unless they revealed lAote vcryaecrets, which
they were sworn to conceal. Are the sece-
ding Masons perjured by tho revelations
(hey have made ? then have revealed
the Masonic secrets tnU^. If now wc must
give up our witnesses, the seceding Masons,
on the charge of perjury, we may give them
up without loss tu the cause of Anti-Mason
ry, or gain to Masonry, fiir we have now
got iii^pendent testimony to the same,
truths; unequivocal testimony, and the testi
mony of adhering Masons, that rtich arc
the oaths and obhgations of the ord^^, as
seceding Masons have testified. VVe can
not discredit this testimony. By all the laws
of evidence it is valid, and the balance is
n»w coriif^etoly struck against the Boston
Declaration, and m favor of the seceding
Masons in the revelations they have made.
But, a word for seccding Masons. Tho’
it may be argued, that there is no necessi
ty to prove seceding Masons perjured, tor
we have their coniession that they had ta
ken the oaths of secrecy which they reveal;
yet we do not agree that they are j>erjured.
^heir revelation being true, the oatiis by
which they we«e bound were highly immor-
nl and unlawful, and therefore were not ob-
lignitory, eitlmr by the laws of God or our
countr^i'. We appeal to any unbiased, in
telligent divine, yes, to any approved mor-
al I'liilosopher, for the soundness of the fol
lowing propositions:—That it is the law of
Gxl alone, (whether as revealed m the Bi
ble, or the book of naturt:,) that gives to an
oath all its validity': Tliut it does not and
cannot bind to an immoral deed : 'I'hat an
outh binding to an imninral deed, is of its
own nature, null and void : That it is the
imperious duty of the swearer to break it:
And that, in so doing, he is not perjured.—
Unless the law of God can turn felo-de-se,
such an oath cannot be obligatory. To al
low such.an oath to be obligatory, is to em
power any miscreant to create an obligation
lK)uiid to l>e true to his (Jod, to his cnuntry
and to his fellow men.” 'J'he obliuations ol'
tiie institution were surely insutlicirnt, w hen
its members kidnap|>el Morgan and refused
to give the testimony, which they did not
deny that they cbuld give, for tl^p prose
cution of justice in courts of law, in tliat
case. '1 his double Ixind, to l>e true to their
country and their fellow men, was indeed
weak on them ; but weaker -•itill on the Ma
sonic Lodgt>s, who didjK't feel bound to en
force it. W by wore the “ misguided mem
bers” not made to leel the force of this Ittmd ?
But in other cases we are not accustomed
to take men’s opinions »f tho tendeney o*'
their principles and institutions; we judge
for ourselves. >Vby not do so here I With
respect to the Mason’s double bond to strict
obedience to the laws of God, compare this
with anotlH'rexpri'ssion ol’ tbc same decla-
ratiiMj: “ Masonry simply requires of the
candidate his assent to one great fundamen
tal religious truth, the existence and provi
dence of trod.” Nqw, though we may al
low a civil society to make no religious test,
if they so choose, and though dillbient de
nominations of Christians may entertain
their respective opinions about this test, and
its influence on the minds of Masonic mem
bers in favor of morality and religion; yet
we think all will admit, that the Masonic
claim to the chamcter of religion, is no
higher than t*o natural religion, and that it
assuredly is not the Christian reli>,ion ; for
to this test the Deist can submit.
The declaration further says, “ Masonry
opens her jK-rtals to those only who s;ok ad
mission w ith the recommendation of a cha
racter unspotted by immorality and vice.”
We take this to mean, that nt>ne are either
admitted, or continued meiiibt'rs of the Ma
sonic In:-t itntion, whose characters are stain
ed by immorality. W hy then are the kid-
nap|>*.‘rs of Morgan retained as members of
the institution? by are tiiose retained,
who trampled on the laws of thrir country,
and defeated justice in courts of law, by re-
tiising to give testimony affninst the guilty,
on no other plea than that they would, by
