10 affirmed and the Troy Sentinel repeats II, that
M Clay has renounc'd Freema'onsy, and that il is,
therefore, unnecessary by surrender OF charters 10

Sentinel, not on This poibt There 10 no proof efore

testimony to the usees'ness and immortality of Free
masonry would be most welcome to Antmasons. But
they pave Fever seen II, aud they must doubt whether
Il can be pointed out.
"oa this point, however we agree with the Sentinel
that no friend OF Mr.. Clay could wish 10 see him re-
nounco FreemasoBTy, and continue 10 be cantida,.
for Nh, next P,eiiency: Though he we're pure az
the Angels he could no, thus escape thai
every vitiuous mind would carefully avoid-To be
candidate and fenounee Masonry, or candidate aud

Mr Ciay.--He may honorabiy withdraw iron being a
candidate under the conviction that he canDo unite the
opposition 10 Gen. Jackson. He may hone sy renounce

he will do both. But for his s4ke we cannot wish
him at this day, 10 attempt oppose Freemasonry and

such expectations, while bound by the cable too"
This view OF the subject of course, places Mr. CLAY
as entirely out OF the question Continue Mason or

that his prospects do not brighien-And he calls I'D

Legislature and in the influential countless save Pha-
dephia, Mr.. Clay has not name. In Congress, he
has, but the A. Nj members ounumber his members
and Anmasonry wakes at the expence both of his and
OF Jackson's friends. BY standing as a candidate he
may so divide the opposition in Pennsylvania as to give
its electora.voe to Gen. Jackson, but Mr. CLAY cannot
take TIT says of Island and Connecticut that
"Antmasonry is at home in their confidence. Rush is

approve OF it, and without hard struggle they will 90
