DIUTIUN* OK SOUTHERN STATE GRAND LODGES. -There is no society which the wcrld has ever known whose principles and general government were thought to be more thor oughly ascertained and completely acknowl edged than that of the Free Masons. 'Claim ing-as they seemed to have great right to do-very remoto antiquity, the established land marks of thc order have always been re garded by its members with the gre?test res pect and reverenca., But late events are dai ly teaching us how completely times aro changed. Among the customs and usages of Masonry none havo been more fully ac knowledged and universally observed from ,Ja time beyond whioh the memory of man rnnnelb not to the contrary," than those, tts to. the qualification of its^?andidates, and the rights of jurisdiction of^ta Lodges, both* ; grand cud subordinate. No question as to these rights has ever been, to car knowledge? i raised or even suggested. The propriety an i wisdom were too manifest. After these r marks as preliminary, and to give our read era a specimen of the process the nation is making, we subjoin two paragraphs which havo been brought to our notice. The first is from the ,! Anglo African" newspaper published in the city of .New York, and ls as follows: .>> U Past Most Worshipful Paul Drayton, o? the National Grand Lodge, is about to resume his lajbors in the South, under the authority of tho Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of New York. Ile will leave ^ this city in a fow days to dedicate and constitute Un ion Lodges' in the city.of Charleston, "South Carolina, and a King Solomon Lodge in the town of Newborn, North Carolina, "and is also vested with full power to organizo Lodges throughout tho Southern portion cf this country/' . . " Coming from such a source, but little no tice would hawe boen taken of thia, had hot. tho following appeared. in the Newb?rn, (North Carolina) Daily Press. " There is in this city an organization call ed King Solomon's Lodge, Np. I of A."F; M., composed entirely and exclusively of negroes. It ras established here some, weeks ago. - If it was done for the purpose of deriding Masonry, tho joke falk harmless, but i?* as . the paragraph above given indicates, [the'-ox tract from the Auglo-African,] there is a de termination to confer upon thc negroes in-'the South, the rites and benefits ol this ancient and honorable Order, we look upon it us a gross insult, which the Grand Lodge of .tho State of North Carolina should strongly ,p*ro . test against," If we ar? to believe what it seems tb us -may bc fairly interred from,tho,.above, jex tractSj tlie grand Lodge of New York has), in. the most flagrant manner^violated thie juris diction of the G rand Lodge, of .
