From the North Star.

AS it respects the question Of Antimasonry, Mr..
Van Buren, TO say the least, stands in a more ia
vorabe light than VIM Henry Harrison, OF OHIO,
as champion Knapp would give the emphasis.
Harrison has irreyocaby committed himself in IA
vor Of the Old HandInaid, by saying in his fifth and
last letter to 1haddeus Stevens, the uncompromi-
sing Herculean Advocate Of the cause in Pennsyl-
vauia, that" Antimasonry is more dangerous in It's
principles and operations than Masonry itsef!'
Not by considerable, Mr. Eaton. Gen.
Harrison did not Use tho language quoted
by the Star, in any of his published letters
TO MIR Stevens. The sentiment here attr-
buted to him, is grossly, we presume not
wilfully, false. Our understanding of the
matter is this: Mr. Stevens sent letter to
General Harrison, inquiring, in substance,
whether, if made President, he would make
Anlimasonry test in Executive appoint
ments. With Mr. Writ, he answered, no
hut he explicitly acknowledged the right
aud duty of the people to put down Free
masonry at the polls, and by state legisla-
ton. Has Mr. Eaton every asked more Of
any candidate q? The Star found no diff
Guilty in supporting Mr. Writ, What was
his language on the same point? Hear;

honor TO themselves. We have also other
reasons why we prefer those gentlemen to
any other candidates now before the pub
lic-thoy are these: 1t is now confidently
asserted that Mr.. Webster declines being
considered candidate, and it is very
doubtful whether he will be brought for
ward by his friends IN Massachusetts our
Democratic Antlmasonc brethren in Penn
sylvania, have, by large majority at their
State Convention, nominated Harrison and
Granger; and large and well attended
Convention of our own State have by an
unanimous vote, responded to that nonina-
ton; in our own County Convention, we
have re-cchoed that nomination with an
unanmity seldom Witnessed.
For these and othe reasons, we can no
longer hesitate to give them our most cor
dial and hearty support and in doing so,
we by no means yield the point, that OUR
national organization is given up.
1t is known TO our readers that we have
always been in favor af a L. States AlSi-
masonic Convention to make Presidential
nomination and we regretted very much,
the refusal of our brethren in Pennsylvania,
to send delegates TO that Convention. We
will here remark, that we admire the moral
courage and the noble stand taken, by the
nine seceders from the dolngs of the major
/ ity; though we extremely regret that there
should be a schism in the Antimasonic
ranks, and we trust they will yet yield to
the will of the majority and 20 with their
/ friends; and we think they will do so, when
they can do it without giving up their na-
tional organization.
Such is the course Of political events,
that the time for National Convention
has gone by; but we are still confident
