Masonic
Government
This is a copy of a very old tract,
single copy 3 cents, 30 cents per dozen and
per hundred $1.25, published By the American Party sometime in the
mid 1800s,
while
Albert Pike was alive and still in the leadership of American Masonry.
The American Party, once called the “Know Nothing” Party, was moderately successful
around the 1850s with its anti-slavery,
anti-immigration, anti-Catholic
and
apparently from this flyer, very anti-Masonic platform.
Beginning in the 1820s and 30s, the Anti MasonicParty gained
popular political strength on a similar position that the Masons in government should be
removed. This party blended with the ranks
of the Whig Party, who had officially
supported the candidates of the Know Nothing party in 1856. We think that the tract comes
from this era.
Seems that most of the participants in
the movement were absorbed into the newly formed Republican Party not long after this
election.
One thing does stand out,
however.
We certainly didn’t
invent the theological, political
and social problems associated with Freemasonry.
The tract herein is just
as true today as it was 140 years ago when it was distributed.
More so, perhaps when you see the
tremendous power Freemasonry has
within
the White House, Congress and the Judicial
system.
Text of Tract
Masonic
Government
In the beginning of this examination we
hasten to assure the reader that we do not propose to bring forward the testimony of
non-Masons or of anti-Masonic publications. We do not propose to beg the question in any
way, manner or shape, and if the reader should have been so unfortunate as to have ever been made a Freemason,
we ask and hope that for the time being he will forget that fact, and having divested his
mind if possible, of prejudice, will look at the subject from a common sense standpoint,
neither accepting; nor rejecting a point or proposition until all the bearings are duly
weighed. You are not responsible for the present form, character and government of
Freemason, neither is the writer. because we had nothing whatever to do in originating,
moulding or shaping the system. However, we do have a right to look at the facts in the
case, intelligently draw our conclusions therefrom and then to “mark and govern
ourselves accordingly," no man or set of men daring to lawfully molest us or make us
afraid.
Now it is plain to every one that if
anybody really knows what Freemasonry is, Freemasons themselves certainly must know; and
if any Masons know, it is not necessarily the embryo, three-degree, pinfeather, Blue Lodge
Masons, who perhaps do not know enough to visit a strange lodge without a brother along to
vouch for them, but it is self-evident that if any Masons know what the principles,
doctrines and practice of the order are, it is the men who have gone from the “ground
floor” clear through the "pictures." who have made Freemasonry a life
study, who are even now occupying the highest positions of honor and power in the craft, and who have been
put forward by the institution to write its great standard publications including its
rituals, its monitors, its manuals, its lexicons, its dictionaries, its digests of Masonic
law, together with its works on Masonic jurisprudence, its histories, its guides, its
trestle-boards, and many other valuable works issued for the sole benefit of the
"Worshipful Fraternity."
The great Masonic works and documents
herein quoted were written by the learned rulers and teachers of Masonry and are protected
by the seal of the United States in copyright. They were written by high Masons,
copyrighted by Masons, published by Masons, sold by Masons, sold to Masons and openly
endorsed and used by the Masonic Fraternity all over this land. Not only endorsed and used
by well posted individual Masons, but subordinate and Grand Lodges have officially
fathered and are using them. With this understanding, reader, we will meet upon the "
level " and part upon the "square."
First we will secure the evidence and testimony, and by and by determine the real Masonic
character and exact standing of the numerous witnesses.
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FRATERNITY.
“ The mode of Government observed
by the fraternity will give the best idea of the nature and design of the Masonic
institution.” Sickels’ Freemasons' Monitor, p. 10.
Very well; it is the BEST explanation
that we are after and so we will examine into Masonic Government.
SYNOPSIS OF MASONIC LAW.
"The system of Masonic law has
little of the republican or democratic spirit
about It."—Rob Morris, in Webb’s
Freemasons’ Monitor, revised edition, p. 195
Well that is not very encouraging to
patriotic men but perhaps all will be satisfactorily explained as we progress.
“We may not call in question the
propriety of this organization; if we would be Masons we must yield private judgment. 'To the law and to the
testimony—if any man walk not by this rule it is because there is no light in
him."'—Pierson's Traditions of
Freemasonry, p. 30.
That certainly is not republicanism or
democracy, because they are inclined to give a man increased liberty and privileges
instead of calling for the surrender thereof. But let us see how far this surrender of
personal liberty is demanded of the Mason.
“That this surrender of free-will
to Masonic authority is absolute (within the
scope of the landmarks 0f the order) and perpetual,
may be inferred from an examination of the
emblem (the shoe or sandal) which is used to enforce this lesson of resignation. The
esotery of the Masonic rituals gives the fullest assurance of this: "once a Mason
always a Mason" is an aphorism in our literature conveying an undeniable
truth."—Morris' Dictionary, p. 29.
Then the surrender of personal private
judgment and freewill to Freemasonry is complete and binding for all time. Well said
indeed; for surely that is anything except Americanism, as either republicanism or
democracy.
"A Mason should know how to obey
those who are set over him, however inferior they may be in worldly rank; or
condition." —Macoy's Masonic Monitor, p.
14.
What
is this authority set over the Freemason to which he has bound himself and what will be
the result of disobedience?
Disobedience and want of respect to
Masonic superiors is an offense for which the transgressor subjects himself to
punishment."—Mackey's Masonic
Jurisprudence , p. 511.
Superiors and inferiors—queer
government that—Americans are all equals. How severely will an offender be punished?
DISOBEDIENCE
"Under the head of Discipline is
given a catalogue of fifteen prime classes of un-Masonic acts, of which this is one. It is
so subversive of the groundwork of Masonry, in which obedience is most strongly
inculcated, that the Mason who disobeys subjects himself to severe penalties."— Morris' Dictionary of Freemasonry, pp. 91,92
This no doubt was the punishment meted
out to William Morgan and many ,others for their disobedience. Who Is the representative
of Freemasonry, wielding such extraordinary authority?
"As a presiding officer the Master
is possessed or extra-ordinary powers which belong to the presiding officer of no other
association” Mackey's Masonic Jurisprudence, p.
344.
Indeed! His Majesty must be quite a
privileged character, having such wonderful powers that are possessed by no other
presiding officer.
“The powers and privileges of' the
Master of a lodge are by no means limited in
extent."—Chase's Digest of Masonic Law,
page 380.
Not limited means unlimited, and that
is just about as much as an ordinary mortal can well comprehend.
“The power of a Master in his
lodge is absolute."— Mackey’s Lexicon
of Freemasonry, p. 296.
There it is, a system of absolute
masters; and an absolute master cannot exist without abject slavery; one is necessary to
the other, so who are the miserable Masonic slaves? Let the reader answer that all
important question.
"Hence, we find that the Master's
authority in the lodge is despotic as the Sun ~n the firmament, which was placed there by
the Creator, never to deviate from its accustomed course. till the declaration is
'promulgated that time shall be no more." Oliver’s Signs and
& Symbols of Freemasonry, p. 142.
Where, in all the annals of history,
ancient or modern, describing all the monarchies, despotisms and tyrannies from the dawn
of creation down to the present time, will you find a better description of an
irresponsible, absolute despot, than the above synopsis of the power of the Master of a
subordinate )Masonic lodge'' To whom, or to
what, is this Masonic nabob beholden ?
“The Master is responsible for his
official acts, not to his lodge, but to the Grand Lodge: or (which is the same thing) to
the Grand Master for the time being."—Webb's
Freemasons' Monitor, p. 271.
What is the nature and power of the
Grand Lodge is the next question staring us in the face for adjustment.
GRAND LODGES—JURISDICTION OF.
"A Grand Lodge is invested with
power and authority over all the craft within its jurisdiction. It is the Supreme Court of
Appeal in all Masonic cases, and to its decrees unlimited obedience must be paid by every
lodge and every Mason situated within its control. The government of Grand Lodges is,
therefore, completely despotic. While a Grand Lodge exists, its edicts must be respected
and obeyed without examination by its subordinate lodges." —Mackey's Lexicon of Freemasonry, p. 186.
The Grand Lodge being completely
despotic, therefore the Worshipful Master of a subordinate lodge is as much a slave to it
as are the poor deceived and deluded victims over whom he lords it with such pomposity.
But suppose, as is often the case, that some conscientious man who has been inveigled into
the order should object and rebel against some mandate or edict of the Grand Lodge that he
is fully convinced and persuaded is not right and proper; Will he be coerced into a
compliance therewith ?
"The first duty of the reader of
this Synopsis is to obey the edicts of his Grand Lodge. Right or wrong, his very existence
as a Mason hangs upon obedience to the powers immediately set above him. Failure in this
must infallibly bring down expulsion, which, as
a Masonic death, ends all The one unpardonable
crime in a Mason is contumacy, or
disobedience."— Webb's Freemasons'
Monitor, p. 196.
What is the one unpardonable crime in a
Freemason? Is it lying, stealing, murder or a violation of civil law? Nay, verily, but it
is simply to disobey Masonic law. That law
must be obeyed, right or wrong. Does this low down slavery run through every department of Freemasonry, or only in the Blue
Lodge and not In the higher grades?
“The principle of submission and
obedience runs through the whole system and constitutes one of the greatest safeguards of
our institution. The Mason is obedient to the Master, the Master and Lodge to the Grand
Lodge, and this in its turn to the old landmarks and ancient regulations of the order.
Thus is a due degree of subordination kept up and the institution preserved in its
primitive purity."—Pierson's Traditions
of' Freemasonry, p. 30.
This is a most galling system of human
slavery a hundred-fold more degrading than ever was African bondage in that both soul and
body are the property of Freemasonry leaving the individual member a mere machine in the
hands of Masonic superiors. Do Masons, deep down in their souls endorse and revere such a
vile system as Freemasonry?
PREPARATION—BLUE LODGE MASONRY.
“If any applicant is not prepared
in his heart he will never make a Mason no matter what dramatic exercises he may be put
through. or what discipline exerted upon him.”—Morris' Dictionary of Freemasonry, pp. 243, 244.
What is it that binds a man to this “Invisible Empire" or to this secret
despotism? We go to the above named Masonic dictionary for “ more light.”
COVENANT BLUE LODGE MASONRY.
“ The obligations of Masonry are,
in the sense of the definition, covenants and so are the Constitution and By-laws.”—Ibid., P. 76.
The obligations, then, along with the
bylaws and constitution are covenants and we
will now see what it is that makes a Mason.
OBLIGATION
“It is ‘the Obligation which
makes the Mason' and the difference between one Mason and another consists simply in the
fact that one keeps his obligations better than another."—Morris' Dictionary of Freemasonry, p. 218.
That is the nature and form of the
Masonic obligation. Is it simply a promise or affirmation or is it construed to be an oath
with all the binding force of the same? Turning again to our friendly dictionary we learn
this:
AFFIRMAT10N—BLUE LODGE MASONRY.
“An affirmation is not equivalent
to an oath in Masonry however it may be in common and is not legitimate in the working of the lodge.”—Ibid. p.13.
Now, sir does Freemasonry consider and
teach its devotees to consider the so-called Masonic oath equal or superior in binding
force to the civil oath?
COVENANTS.
“The Covenant is irrevocable. Even
though a person may be suspended or expelled; though he may withdraw from the Lodge,
journey into countries where Masons cannot be found, or become a subject of despotic
governments that persecute, or a communicant of bigoted churches that denounce Masonry, he
cannot cast off or nullify his Masonic covenant; No law of the land can affect it—no
anathema of the church weaken it. It is irrevocable.” —Webb’s Freemasons' Monitor, p. 240.
This accounts for many strange and
mysterious proceedings in our would-be courts of justice and in the churches. NO law of
the land (that is, civil law,) can even affect this lodge oath or covenant. No anathema of
the church (that is, divine law), can so much as weaken it. Is it any wonder that
criminals go scot-free when the sheriff that impanels the jury, enough of the jurors
impaneled to bring in a divided verdict, enough witnesses drummed up to make the evidence
appear contradictory, the attorneys of the prosecution and of the defense, and the judge
on the bench, are irrevocably bound to the prisoner at the bar as sworn brethren, by an
obligation considered paramount to all others, civil or divine?
Is it anything strange that there is
trouble in the church when the members are bound up, by this strong covenant, with
saloon-keepers, irreverent scoffers, and other evil-minded men, in sworn brotherhood? Is
there no escape from Masonic thralldom? is the now all important question.
“No method is provided for in the
Masonic jurisprudence of modern times by which a member can withdraw himself from the
authority of the society. He may resign his membership in the lodge, deny its government,
even repudiate the ties by which he is bound
to the institution, yet that authority remains unbroken. A ‘due summons' from the
Lodge or Grand lodge is obligatory upon him; and should he refuse obedience he will be
disgracefully expelled from the society with public marks of ignominy that can never be
erased."—Morris' Dictionary of
Freemasonry, page 29.
What arrogant system is this, that
proposes to take a man's manhood from him by imposing
upon him an obligation that defies both his civil as well as the divine law? It
even declares vengeance on all who dare to think and act as free men without first
consulting the Masonic covenant. No wonder seceded Masons and out-spoken non-Masons are
abused, vilified, slandered and hounded down by Masonic minions. “ Public marks of
ignominy that can never be erased.”
“The expulsion of a Mason, while
it deprives him of every privilege with which his Masonic attachment endowed him, leaves
him bound by every part and point of his. Masonic covenant. Of this no act of his own or
of the lodge can ever divest him. The tie of Masonry is perpetual."— Webb's Freemasons' Monitor, p. 257.
That certainly is a queer government if
there ever was one. The mystery of the whole business is to discover how under the sun a
man can be a loyal citizen of any civil government on earth and at the same time uphold
this system of secret despotism that boldly and openly defies all governments?
“There is no charge more
frequently made against Freemasonry than that of its tendency to revolution and
conspiracy, and to political organizations which may affect the peace of society, or
interfere with the rights of government."—Mackey's Mystic Tie of
Freemasonry, p. S6.
Well, does this great Masonic ruler and
law-giver speak the truth in the above, for time and again different governments have been
compelled to suppress Freemasonry because of its incompatibility with the peace of society
and with the laws of the land in that it harbored criminals and perverted the equitable
administration of civi1 law.
“There is no duty more forcibly
enjoined in Masonry, than that of warning a brother of danger impending to his person or
interests. To neglect this is a positive violation of obligation, and destroys any
person's claim to be entitled a Mason:.”— Morris'
Dictionary of Freemasonry, p. 25.
Are Masons obliged to give this warning to affiliates only,
or must they always warn and aid one another discriminately?
“We are to give aid in imminent
peril when Masonically called upon, not lest injustice may be done if we pause to inquire
into the question of affiliation, but because the obligation to give this aid, which is
reciprocal among all Masons, never has been and never can be canceled."—Mackey's Masonic Jurisprudence, p. 270.
Shall the Mason pause to inquire as
to ANYTHING
when Masonically appealed to for aid?
“If a person appeals to us as a
Mason in imminent peril, or such pressing need that we have not time to inquire into his
worthiness, then, lest we might refuse to relieve and aid a worthy brother' we must not
stop to inquire as to anything."—Albert
Pike, in Masonic Grand Lodge Report of Arkansas; Also Mackey's Masonic Jurisprudence, p. ~70.
Ex-Confederate General Albert Pike who led a brigade of Indian savages against the
flag of his country at the battle of Pea
Ridge, Arkansas, where the dead and wounded boys in Blue were scalped! and tomahawked, and
even mutilated in a manner too barbarous and obscene for description, by his followers,
and whose rebel hands are dyed crimson by the blood of loyal American citizens, is now the
most honored man in Freemasonry.
He has since been very appropriately
placed at the pinnacle of the system, where he sits supreme ruler; and to him every
Freemason, knowingly or unknowingly, yet, nevertheless truly, does honor and homage when
he throws A due-guard and sign at a Blue Lodge Master; for the principle of submission and
obedience runs through the WHOLE
system," while in giving the sign he
acknowledges himself to be under death-penalty to obey this Masonic superior. Such is
Freemasonry, a hot-bed of disloyalty and treason, according to our deductions thus far.
"Treason and rebellion also,
because they are altogether political offenses, cannot be inquired into by a lodge; and
al. though a Mason may be convicted of either of
these acts in the courts of his country, he cannot be Masonically punished; and not
withstanding his treason or rebellion his relation to the lodge, to use the language of
the old Charges, remains indefeasible."—Mackey’s
Masonic Jurisprudence, p. 510 !
This makes plain why perhaps the
blackest-hearted rebel in the land is very appropriately placed at the head of treasonable
Masonry in this country. Thus a saint in
Freemasonry may be the worst citizen in this government.
''The Mason who is at home and the
Mason who comes from abroad are considered on an equal footing as to all Masonic rights;
and hence the brother made in Europe is as much a Mason when he comes to America, and is
as fully qualified to discharge in America all Masonic functions, without any form of
naturalization, as though he had been made in this country. The converse is equally
true."— Mackey’s Masonic
Jurisprudence, p. 200.
What a remarkable array of Masonic testimony! and yet the half has not been
told, as we might go on almost indefinitely showing the foul, treasonable and
anti-republican nature, as legibly portrayed under the systematically arranged headings
of the great copyrighted standard Masonic publications. The above Masonic quotations
are complete sentences and not garbled. The language is so concise and plain that a child can easily analyze
each sentence. The quotations are
authoritative; Masonic superiors never argue Masonry with subordinates. And now we proceed to nail the above synopsis of Masonic law and government by home
testimony.
We will let every affiliated Freemason
in the Missouri Masonic Grand Lodge jurisdiction testify through their Grand Lodge
Reports, three copies of which must be filed away year by year in every subordinate lodge
throughout the jurisdiction.
The members of all subordinate lodges
are fully represented in Grand Lodge by the superior officers of the several lodges, as
they are delegates thereto, and no document emanates from any Masonic Grand Lodge without
its endorsement and approval. We will call our neighbors, and see how cheerfully they
accept or reject the testimony of the brightest
men in the order:
(Part of a report on foreign
correspondence rendered by a full committee consisting of Brothers J. P. Little, Jno.
Dove, Wm. B. lsaacs, Wm. L. Maule and T. P. August :)
"The conclusion of the report
breathes such a pure air of Masonic truths that we incorporate it herewith. It says: 'Once
a Mason always a Mason—once a Mason, everywhere a Mason. However independent either
as individuals or as lodges, whether Grand or
subordinate—and we are each and all truly free and uncontrolled by anything, save our
ancient laws and constitution—yet no Mason can be a foreigner to another Mason. We
are all equal citizens of one common government, having equal rights, equal privileges and
equal duties; and in which government, thank God, the majority does not govern.
For
our order in its very constitution, strikes at the root of that which is the very basis of
popular government It proclaims and practices, not that the will of the masses is wise and
good, and as such to be obeyed,—not that the majority shall govern .. . but that the
law tit e., above mentioned "ancient law"1 shall govern. Our tenet is not only
that no single man but that no body of men
(however wise or numerous)' can change in any decree one single landmark of our ancient
institution. Our law is strictly organic; it cannot be changed without being destroyed. You may take a man to pieces, and you may take a
watch to pieces, but you can not alter his
organs and put him together again as you do the timekeeper.
Masonry is the living man, and all
other forms of government mere convenient machines made by clever mechanics, for
regulating the affairs of state. Not only do we know no North, no South, no East and no
West, but we know no government save our own. To every government save that of Masonry,
and to each and all alike, we are foreigners; and this form of government is neither
pontifical, autocratic, monarchial republican, democratic nor despotic; it is a government
per se, and that government is Masonic.
We have nothing to do with forms of
government, forms of religion or forms of social life. We are a nation of men only, bound
to each other by Masonic ties as citizens of the world, and that world the world of
Masonry—brethren to each other all the world over, foreigners to all the world
beside. The above is a Masonic address in a
nutshell—it is the compressed essence of Masonic life."—Grand Lodge Report for, 1867.
How does that sound to a loyal
American? Missouri
Freemasons therein positively affirm that they are not controlled by ANYTHING save Masonic law; they THANK GOD that in their
government the majority does NOT govern; that
Freemasonry strikes at the very base of free government; that it proclaims and practices
that the will of the MASSES should not be
obeyed; that the United States is a mere convenient machine only: together with many other
treasonable doctrines that the Missouri Masonic Grand Lodge emphatically declares are the
compressed essence of Masonic life. Later reports all breathe the spirit of double-dyed
treason.
We would gladly prolong this
discussion, but we will briefly consult another
Grand Lodge Report or two and rest the case.
“For ourselves, we deny as Masons
that any civil government on earth has the right to divide or curtail Masonic jurisdiction
when once established. It can only be done by competent Masonic authority, and in
accordance with Masonic usage."— Grand Lodge Report.
Rebold’s History of Freemasonry,
p. 62, says: "The Freemason receives not the law, he gives It;" and a late Grand
Lodge Report puts on the cap-sheaf by adding:
“In all this we must not forget
that 'Masonry is a law unto itself.’ Its Perpetuity is dependent upon the force of
its own influences. It never demands affiliation with any other humanizing
agencies."—Grand Lodge Report of 1880.

Where is the man who has one drop of
patriotic blood coursing through his veins that does not abhor, loathe and hate
Freemasonry as the arch-enemy of free government? And is he not ready, if he be a slave to
this system of despotism, to declare his independence, and maintain his rights through the pulpit, the press and the polls? Let all true Americans rally to the
standard of the American Reform Party, a Party that is rapidly coming up, the object of which is to wrest
church and state from the usurpation of oath-bound foreigners who are open]y endorsing and
upholding a system that is treason to the government, as it confers titles of nobility,
which is in open violation of the Constitution of the United States. Let true Americans
stand for civil and religious liberty before the bristling bayonet or the cannon’s
mouth ere we bow the knee to any despot or hail any man as MASTER. God save our country
from the further encroachments of secret despotism! Long live the Republic of The United
States of America!
