duty of Rood citizens ' to remain ' in

6f the Governorebip that strikes us
at the present time as of Borne force
Our Governors heretofore hate been
intanbérs of th6 bar, lawyera. At
this crisis the subject 6f the labor of
the State is of vital importance.
Would it not be well, therefore, to
have a .Governor who understands

wise, to give b a'iility and pernia

aro ten thousánd good and true
Masons in the State of TeW Thejr
^ce . bound together by the most
solemn ties: They are pledged to
good {citizenship. They émbraco
the better class, as a general thing,
of the .community, and men of alt
sgcts in religion, and aU< associations
in politics. They all have, as re-
spects the public interest, but cfne
feeling and that is in favor of péace
and quiet. Although they caí do
nothing openlyv and as a body, to
thiBend, yet their silent influ
must be most powerful. WhpvBhall
measure it? ' >« I
Is thera dóisposition anywhere to
disturbance, the Mason's duty is to
pour oil upon th« wat «ra, to Cfdm
the excitement. Is- there -u ¡dfBve
manifested to persecution, the Mason
may,, with the still small voioe of
friendly advice, allay It Is there
recklessness, let the Mason enforce
by precept and exam ple <the duties
all owe to society. Is t hqre lawless,
neás, let it, if necessai^y, be putdowo
by good men and Masons upholding
the law.
At this time more than ever before
and perhaps more than ever again
has. every Free Mason án active
duty to perform. , Ho belongs to an
institution that inculcates tho prac-
tice of virtue, thnt frowns.upou every
vice, that thrives in peace, tmd -pro-
portionably declines in war.- The
end of tho excitements of tljo past
four years finds many lodge-fires
smoulderyig if not altogether gone,
out, and the good influences of tbe
order in society inactive and nlmost
forgotten. Every Mason should ap-
ply himself ^t onco to rekindling
those fires, and reviving those in-
fluences. He should show by his
conduct that the name he bears is
not unmeaning, and t¿io principles he
professes are not mere show. Masonry
may be made the baud maid Of reli.
gion, nay, in its action may be trvon
more effective just now tliftn the
Church, as its machinery more
thoroughly occupies the ground, and
has better access tp the.bod^ politic^
Let every man feel his duties afid
fulfill them, and brighter days will
very soon arise.;. ,• ,, u t
We hope to see measures taken
by the present Grand Lodge for
thoroughly reviving Masonry through-
out its jurisdiction, and that what-
ever attempts are made to this end
wiirbe heartily seconded by the
craft everywhere. t ' . ( (
