Thus constituted am authorised to *uy that they work as An cient York Masons, and in all respects as \tc do. They no loiiuer admit under the sanction of the teat oath t but according to the ancient usage. 1 la y it down as a fundamental principle of all sorietie* as well as governments, that there is an inherent unalienable ri^ht at an v time when it shall he di'emed necessary by the members oi the body to alter their constitution, or those hu^ principles liy which the* agreed to lie {(overu^P Nor wilt it he necessary, i presume, to go at *'? into argument to prove a position so pei?

Many living witness can attest the truth of it, and by refer ring to that luminous and excellent writer brother l'rcston, we shall ilnd that in Europe at difterent periods in the history ofmasoiijg, there has existed occasional division, and owasional re-union. Will any brother, instructed on thin subject, nay that there i? not in thaiiistory of mxHonry, the most irrefragable proof, that we all spruug from one source ?? I presume nut. I am awaro jjtft by some, it is said *hat an | oath has bcefHMministurcd on their admission, j forbidding them oven to sit in a lodge with a modern Mason* or to admit ono to enter n lodge, knowing him to be such. When a separate took place in England* all that was dono was to resolve that thoso^who Acceded, (and who tewj were may admit a doubt) should not bo re admitted, except on terms. Such an|outh was never Incorporated into tho constitution of Anciont York Moaona, nor evejr pre* scribed by tlie Grand Lodge: it has therefore been introduced without authority < is illegal, .ind not binding, llut as 1 am disposed to meet tho acrupten of the most ? conscientious, and to eflect the union on a basis which can. never bo shaken, I will endeavour to obviate the objec tioit in a manner still moro satisfactory. Every obligation resulting from an oath, may be re leased within n legal and moral point ofvieir 44 unlawful directions are countermanded 'ay the authority, 'which declares them unlaw ful." Members of Colleges in the Uinver siticK, and of other ancient fnniidntiou*<, ar re(|uired to swear to the observance of theii | respective statutes; which observance is he.; come in some cases unlawful, in other*, im-1 practicable, in others, useless, in others, iucm.*; venient." Mr. Faley says, they are released from such obligations. May not then the voice of a majority, or two thirds of the masonic body, now forming a union, dissolve tlie obligations so imposed ? It cannot bo doubted. Again ! Can those who have been admitted under the sanc tion of the test 0:1th, (if wo give validity to that,} be any longer considered as modern masons r Surely they cannot. This objection. I trust. m:iv be thus overcome. Now, as to thn sordini ohjrctiou, that it in removing the ancient land ill arks ol' masonry.
