FINAL WARNING: The Birth of Tyranny
are connected.” The Committee reported at a meeting at Faneuil Hall in
Boston (December 30, 31, and January 1, 1829), and passed the
following resolution: “Resolved, on the report of the Committee
appointed to inquire how far Freemasonry and French Illuminism are
connected, that there is evidence of an intimate connection between
the high orders of Masonry and French Illuminism.”A National Convention was held in 1830 in Philadelphia, and another in
Baltimore in 1831, where they nominated William Wirt, former U.S.
Attorney General (under Monroe and John Quincy Adams, 1817-1829),
as a Presidential candidate. They were represented by 116 Anti-
Masonic delegates from 13 states. The movement caught on mainly in
New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. Even though they won quite
a few Congressional seats in 1832, Wirt only carried the State of
Vermont, while Andrew Jackson, a Mason, won big.The Party was phased out in 1836, because the anti-slavery movement
began to overshadow their activities. They merged with the Whig Party
(1834-60) in 1838. The Whig Party later assimilated themselves into the
Democratic Party, the Liberty Party (1840-48), the Free Soil Party (1848-
54), and the Republican Party.Fifty years after Morgan’s disappearance, Thurlow Weed (1797-1882),
owner of the Rochester Telegraph, and Editor of the influential Albany
Evening Journal (from 1830-1863), who helped found the Anti-Masonic
Party, published information about Morgan’s death. His grave was
discovered in 1881 at Pembroke, in Batavia County, in New York. In the
grave was a piece of paper that had the name John Brown written on it.
Brown was said to be one of the people involved in the killing. A statue
was erected in memory of Morgan in Batavia in 1882.THE ILLUMINATI IN THE UNITED STATES
In 1829, the Illuminati held a secret meeting in New York, which was
addressed by a British Illuminist named Frances ‘Fanny’ Wright, from
Scotland, who was an associate of socialist Robert Dale Owen. She
had come to America in 1818, then again in 1824. In 1828, she became
the co-editor of the New Harmony Gazette with Owen. In 1829, they
moved to New York, and called their publication the Free Enquirer. At
