Book Description
Excerpt from Letter of the Hon. Louis M'lane: Late Secretary of State on the Subject of Anti-Masonry; Addressed to the Anti-Masonic Committee, at Harrisburgh The following correspondence is worthy of special attention. Hearing of the existence of Mr. M'Lane's letter, we addressed a note to him on the subject, asking permission at the same time to make it public. The subjoined notes will, however, fully explain the state of the affair. Hon Louis M'Lane: Sir - Previous to the assembling of the late anti-masonic convention at Harrisburg, a committee of anti-masons addressed a letter to you, and several other distinguished citizens, desiring an expression of your sentiments on the subject of Free-Masonry, and on the propriety of excluding Free-Masons from all public trusts. Since that time, the anti-masons have published answers from two citizens only; but it is understood that nearly every gentleman addressed, responded to the interrogatories. My connection with the recent proceedings of our Slate Legislature, and my station as the first officer of the Grand Chapter of this State, induce in me a solicitude to know the sentiments of yourself, and the other gentlemen who were addressed, on the questions submitted to you. I have applied by letter, similar to this, to Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Forsyth for their answers, and should be happy to be furnished with your's, if you answered, with permission to lay it before the public. - I am, with great respect, your ob't servant, Joseph R. Chandler. Sir - At the time your letter of the 12th ult. reached New York, I was absent from the city; and in consequence of my prolonged engagements, have been unable earlier to attend to your application. It is true, that previous to the assembling of the late anti-masonic convention at Harrisburg, a committee of anti-masons addressed a letter to me, desiring an expression of my sentiments in regard to certain questions proposed in the letter, for the purpose of being submitted to the convention; and that I annexed the letter in explanation of my views of the subject.
