The Grand Master Mason Of Scotland.

THE GRAND MASTER MASON OF SCOTLAND .

( COMMUNICATED ) . In consequence of the members of the Grand Lodge of Scotland giving an adverse vote to the excellent suggestions of the Grand Alaster , the Right . Hon . the Earl of Rosslyn , that

distinguished and worthy nobleman has intimated his intention not to accept re-election , as Grand AIaster . The following circulars have been issued in ; the Lodge , that the AI . AV . the Grand Alaster Mason of Scotland will alter his decision , but it

is unlikely that he will , and were it not for the good of the cause , the opposers of the suggested new laws , deserve that some heavy penalty should be visited upon them for tlieir shortsighted and unmasonic behaviour , and , perhaps the retirement of the Grand Alaster will have that effect : —

Freemasons' Hall , 98 , George Street , Edinburgh , 12 th June , 1872 . R . W . Dear Sir and Brother , — The Most Worshipful the Grand Alaster , the Right Hon . the Earl of Rosslyn , having made

known his intention of vacating the Throne of Grand Lodge , at the annual election in November , it has been considered most desirable to make an effort to induce his lordship to retain office another year , a movement with which , it is

believed , your lodge will cordially sympathize . The accompanying report has accordingly been prepared for signature by the members of Grand Lodge , and of the daughter lodges throughout the country , and it is hoped that it will be largely

signed by the members of your lodge . As it is intended to present the requisition early in July , I shall feel greatly obliged by your bringing the same immediately before your lodge , and having it signed and returned to me as early

as possible . Should you require additional sheets , they may be had on ajijilication at this office . I remain , R . AV . Sir and Brother , yours truly and fraternally , J LAURIE , Grand Clerk .

To the Right Honourable the Earl of Rosslyn , & c , Alost AVorshipful Grand Alaster Alason of Scotland . Alost Worshipful Grand Alaster , We , the Right Honourable the Earl of

Dalhousie , KT ., G . C . B ., Right Worshipful Past Grand Alaster , Henry Inglis , Esq ., of Torsonce , Right Worshi pful Substitute Grand Alaster , and other Office-bearers and members of Grand Lodge of Free and Accejited Alasons of Scotland ,

having learned that your Lordship has expressed your intention to vacate the Throne of Grand Lodge at the ensuing annual election , venture to request your reconsideration of that resolution . There is bnt one opinion in the Craft as to the

manner 111 which your Lordshi p has discharged the duties of yDiir exalted jiosition , and the active interest your Lordship has taken in the management of the affairs of Grand Lodge , and the promotion and extension of its benevolent

institutions . _ Duly impressed as we are with these considerations , and by the necessity which exists , under present circumstances , of the government ofthe Craft being again confided to the able , dignified , and impartial guidance which we now

possess , we most respectfully and earnestly request your Lordshi p to allow yourself to be put in nomination for the Throne of Grand Lodge for the next ensuing year . AVe have the honour to remain , Alost Worshipful Grand Alaster , your Lordship ' s most obedient servants ,
