The Reported Abduction And Death Of Morgan, In The United States.

THE REPORTED ABDUCTION AND DEATH OF MORGAN , IN THE UNITED STATES .

The Masonic Fraternity of the United States has again and again been taunted with having been accessory to the abduction and death of a person named Morgan , who was said , on account of his betrayal of the secrets of the Order , to have been hurried from his home , then murdered , and his body sent over the falls of Niagara . In America

this report has been the cause of considerable reproach to the Craft , and has raised , in many quarters , immense opposition to its progress . We are most happy to have it in our power to give the following interesting article from the " Philadelphian Masonic Mirror , and Key Stone , " of January 14 , a periodical most ably conducted by Bro . Leon Hyneman , which sets the matter at rest for ever : —

And we are about to give another exemplification of the mighty power of Truth , which will for ever put to rest the unfounded clamour raised against the members of the Masonic Fraternity , by interested politicians , noisy

brawling demagogues , persons of bad character , who were not found worthy of admission into the Order , as well as some of the lukewarm among us , who joined in the hue and cry that was raised , in the supposed abduction of William Morgan , who , it was said , was carried forcibly away from his family and friends in the village of Batavia , in the State of New York , on the 11 th day of November , 1826 , by certain members of the Masonic Order , and who they
