The Anti Masonic Convention which held
n q session in Baltimore last week, nominated
Dir. WILLIAM WRIT, Of Maryland, as their
j candidate for President of the u States; and
Dir Amos ELLMAKER, of Pennsylvania. for
Vice President Both gentlemen have signi-
fed their acceptance, in letters addressed to
4 the committees appointed by the Convention
4 10 waite on and inform them Of their nonina
tion by the same. Mir. Wirts letter is writ
ten in forcible. gentlemsnly and dignfied
style He informs the committee thatbe !, a
,uason that he has necer reao,a,ced t., and
has always considered it as being entirely in
noeent in lis character. This, TO the Con
vention, was, no doubt, bitter dill, but they
had to swallow it--they have Mr. Writ, as
the man takes his wife, s'better for worse ,,
We will lay Mr. WIS letter before our rea
ders 10 our next la the mean time, we give
the following extract from it in which it will
be seen, that he takes high ground:
81 should have been gfieyed for my coun
try, TO see the rise OF any party that should
affect 20 seiz3 upon the reins of government.
and, through The agency Of an automaton
President, TO direct its powers to the yindlc-
tive purposes Of party prescription and per
secuton; and ishould be grieyed, for myself.
to learn that there had been any thing In my
life and character that could mark me out as
a fit instrument for the execution Of such
purpose"
Intolerance forms no part of Mr. Wirt's
character. His previous habits render it I'M
possible for him 10 join In political crusade
against any set OF men.
