"Masonic Oration, Delivered Dec. 27, A. L. 5843
V an Brakle, Most W. G. Masierof the iiram Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.'' This 3 the title of a pamphlet somebody has ent us. We have looked it over, but never ïaving been initiated into the mystees of the croft, we were able to derive bot ittle instraction frorn its pages. However, -e learned that the first six degrees of Maonry were oÃd as Solomon's Temple; that Ezrathe Jew was a Royal Arch Masou; that ohn the Evangelist and John the Baptist vere octive and firm adherents of the grand cnets of masonry; that the Bible is embJematcal of the whole order of Masonry; and that the institution extends all over the globe. - This is the sum of tbe Oration, a knowledge of which we freely impart to our readers: for we do not believe in confining truth to a few, through theagency of adespotic government, a slaveholding tyranny, or a eecret institu tion.
