who is capahles unswayed by sertarian feelings
Ior passions, of administering its high duties
towards the whole people of the
United States, however dividedsinto religious,
social, benevolent or literary associations.
Entertaining these views, have constantly
refused to,make myself party to the unhap-

parts of the Union, between masons and anti
masons. Whilst these views remain uncor-
rected, must adhere TO that determination.
If, you, gentleman, will point TO the provisionI
in the Federal Constitution, which can be le-
ultimately made to operate upon the subject in
question, l would not hesitate to comply
promptly with your request. In the mean
time, in declining il, hope you will consider
