JUSTICE.

Mr. Mowry—The people our way, are continually inquiring of every body who comes from Town, what has become of the Majority Report, on the masonic investigation? And I acknowledge, that I am one of the number.—We have been looking for it, and looking for it every day for almost two months, and I declare I begin to think that the Report of William Sprague, Jr. which almost every body has either read or heard read, has somehow or other deranged their plan of proceedings. I do wish you would give me the very earliest information on the subject, or I am an antimason to the back-bone; and if, like 'scabby sheep,' we are only to 'live all winter and die in the spring,' I am afraid I shall have but little time to arrange my 'worldly affairs,' if they put off their Report much longer.

PETER GRIEVOUS.

Old Warwick, March 19, 1832.

Nota Bene—Some folks down here, conceit that Governor Arnold bids very fair to share the fate of 'poor Tray' in Aesop's Fable.

In answer to our correspondent from Old Warwick, we can only say, that similar inquiries are daily made of us; but as it is a copy right affair, we are afraid of being too inquisitive about it, lest we should be threatened with another injunction; the most we can learn is that the Committee are—'about it, and about it:' and we think if the conjunction of the planets should be favorable, that we may say towards April town meeting, 'look for' the Report 'about these days.' In the mean time we can assure our correspondent, that antimasonry pure and undefiled, was never more prosperous in this State: and as little liable to 'sudden death,' as the loftiest mountains of our country are to inundation. We consider it based on the broad and immutable principle of right, and incapable of overthrow, until it mingles with 'the wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds.'
