The Baltimore Chronicle of yesterday, contains
tho following interesting letters from Philadelphis
| written on tho evening before the election. Those
who know the inveteracy between the Anti. Ma
sonic and Masonic parties at the North, can well
conceive chat Rtner nominated Anti-Mason
may be voted against by many Masons who will
likewise veto against Gen. jackson. 1t seems
therefore. reasonable that the Congressional elect

sivcly, should be the better tost:

State is safe. The gubcrnatorial Election must not
be considered the standard by which to measure
the Anti-Jackson strength. Thousands who will
vote the Anti.Jackson Electoral Tickle, in Novem

because they consider that the great interests of the
State will DO best promoted by his reelection, and
because they believe he is in hear, opposed to those
who are d'sgracing and running our country. In

of the opposition will be good deal divided and
you not be surprised if, for example, in this
city, Ritners majority should fall short of that of

of the public mind as to the great question, who
shall be the PRESIDENT The Masons are a large

for or against Mr. Riln:r, is doubtful, although in
regard to the Presidency they will act independent
[ ly. Besides, there are many who decided on
the necessity of turning out the General to the
country, who nevertheless, see reason for turn
| ing out Mr.. Wolfe. Between him ard Ritner
there are reasons why Philadelphia should prefer
the former. He is thought to be more favorable to
her policy and interests, while Mr.. R., with regard
to these, is doubted by some The Congress tickle,
will be the hest criterion until the election of Elect
ors in November, which will be the decisive one.'
