authority, that Mr.. Lathrop has been induced
by the persuasions of some of the leading Anti

notice of his nomination, because it was appre.

the subject of Anii-Masonry, would not be sat

into all the political views of some of the lead
crs of the party 1t is now understood that this
letter is withdrawn, and that another has been

devotion to the principles Of Anti-Masonry,
avoids giving any distinct expression of his
