MASONIC OFFERING TO DR . OLIVER . IT may be remembered , that on the 9 th of June last a suggestion was publicly- made , " that a Masonic Offering" should be presented to the Rev . Dr . Oliver , and we are truly glad to observe that such a testimony of esteem and affection was not suggested in reference to the impotent
attempt to assassinate-his Masonic reputation , but as a mark of gratitude for his undeviating zeal and unremitting services rendered to the Masonic world , by his public writings and private character , in the union of which are blended all the qualifications of an upright and virtuous man ..
