sion" of hireling libellers the accusations of cal
culating selfshne.s and the slandors of purcb,ssd
ingratitude. The support of Mr.. Civ. is to his
friends, sentiment of the heart, consccrated bv
tho injustice he has received and the psrsec,,;on
he has endured. They are capable of maxine the
sacrifice OF his surrender; but those who ask il,
must make out an unanswerable case Thew must
demonstrate two things: first, that he cannot sue
coed; second, that by his retirement from the con.
test Mr.. Writ can. To prove that tho Ant.Ma-
sons assisted by the National Republicans, can
elect Mr.. Writ, is exactly tho same thing as TO
prove tsat the National Republicans assised bx
the AntI-Masoas, can elect Mr.. Clay Both pro-
positions are true, and can Old Man. in aryuno
the sase tor Mr.. Writ, argues it with equal ability
for Mr.. Clay.
1t is natural that the friends of each gentleman
should insist upon his superior strength, and the
ProPrety OF the others yielding. 1t is natural that
either side, with the hope of obtaining the prefer

not to yield him, but to stick to him to the last
But we are persuaded that under this outer show
OF obstinacy, there exists mutually, the strongest
disposition towards cooperation, we'll from
sympathy of political opinion, conviction that
with union every thing may be achieved without
1t nothing can be hoped. This certainty, pre-
senting itself perpetualy to tho understa ndings of
the two parties, must DO productive finally of ia
vorabe result.
We recommend to Masons, what this writer ur.
ges In reply to the objection of Mr. Wirt's being
an Anti Mason, and the idea that support of him
would be acqulescence in the principles of Anti |
Masonry. For ourselves, we feel the profoundest |
indifference as to the whole disputsl between Ma.
sonry and Ant-Masonry
Were Mr. Writ placed in the Executive, on An
tEMasonic principles, it is yet impossible that he
should exercise its power to the oppression of Ma
sorry. The powers of State Government might
be welded to Cypress Masonry, but it is the me-
rest farce to introduce Anti-Masonry as a test or
principle in the General Government There 10
nothing for it to act upon, for, or against
masons therefore, may support Mr.. Writ, not
because he is an Anti Mason bat because his Ia
Tents and character are worthy of the high dignity
Tor which he is competitor. Thus far we entire
