At the meeting of the . Convention at 8 o'clock P. M. the following communication from lifr. WIRT was received:— GENTLENEN:—The uninima Filke"Na - mtaianti-Mrtum Lion" assembled af this place, nominating me as their candidate for the office-of-I're- election, is an honor very grateful to me, • ~.11 • • : I . • eptcmber 28. a I=ll resolu- party that shoal affect to seize upon the' reins _ of_gevernment, and, ihteuetthe a gency ofan automaton - President, to direct -ita-powers-to-the . ndietive-purposes-ofpar t roscri t ut'on.a. f 111 be grieved, for mytelf, 'to learn that .there had been any thing in my life and charac ter that could mark me out as a fit instru meurfor the execution of such a purpUse. lam relieved from both these apprehen sions by learning, since your assemblage here, that you have no other object in view than, in effect, to assert the supremacy of turb no portion of thefpeaceable and virtu ous citizens of our country in the enjoyment of those social rights which-are-secured to them by their constitution and laws; but on the contrary, that the principle which has embodied you, is one of self defence, in the enjoyment of - thosehts; that - having be come convinced by the disclosures made under oath, by numerous and respectable witnesses, in the trials which have been agitating The state iftew York, for sever al years, and by your investigations conse quent on those disclosures, that the Masonic. Society has become a tremendous political engine, with the power and the disposition to set the laws of the land - at defiance, to mark-out-and sacrifice its victims at-pleas and with impunity, and to silence all ErEM individual opposition by the mysterious ter rors which it diffuses throughout the com munity, you have come to the determinntion to root out this noxious institution, if you can, BY TH§.414. - .OF ALL THE PEACEABLE, LEGAL,—VINCION STITUTIONAL MEANS I YOUR POWER; that the most effective means of this character which has presented itself to -you,-is-by the exercise of your elective fran chise; that deeming every man unfit tOr of fice, who, in accordance with the principles established on the trials in New York, con siders his Masonic oaths and obligations as superior to his obligations to the constitution and laws of his country, you will support no man for - any office who holds - tharpriliciple or adheres to the society whoseTrinciple it is; that you consider a man's allegiance to his country his Inghest earthly obligation, of the offices of the country who will permit a doubt to rest on the fact of his allegiance. These I understand to V 3 your and I see nothing in them which does not commend them to every man whose mind and heart are sound, for there can be no question among reasonable men, that in a free government like ours, the constitution and laws are our onlysoveWig - tThafelW peace, order, prosperity and happiness of our people depend on the steady, faithful `and effectual administration of our laws; triat any secret society, which, by 'the force of, mysterious oaths and obligations„and by the extent of its combination, seeks to dis turb the action of those laws, to set them at defiance, to ride over and control them, to usurp the government, to hold the lives, peace and happinessof nocietyattheirmer- - , cy, and to establish a reign of terror over the initiated and uninitiated, is a political monster as fearful as the Invisible Tribunal of Germany, or the Inquisition of Spain, and ought to be extirpated, without delay, by the use of all the peaceable means which the constitution and laws of our country fur nish. lam further sure that, in our coun try, it is but necessary to establish the filet o e existence of sucha - its annihilation. ac- But, gentleogen, although your resolution asks of me no pledges or promises, yet the name and style of the Convention from which it proceeds, the Anti-Masonic Con rotation, may be considered both by your selves and our fellow citizens, at large, as promises and pledges; audit is therefOre proper that I should be perfectly open and apprehension between us, and that you nui'y be able to disembarrass yourselves at once .y changing your nomination, if you. find Abe you have acted under mistake in pass _ --- You — Triust understand, - theni - if - you a 6" not already apprized of it, that, in very ear ly life, I was myself initiated into the mys teries- of Free - Masonry. I have been told by Masons that mreyes were never opened, because I never took the Master's degree: but my curiosity never led me thus far— and, although, I soon discontinued my at tendance on lodges, (not having entered one even from curiosity for more than thirty years, I believe) it proceeded from ne suspi cion on my part that there was-any thing criminal in the -Institution ; or any thing that placed its members, in the slightest degree, iircollision with their allegiance to their country aunts kiWs. 'On the contra ry, having been before my initiation, assur ed by a gentleman it whom I had implicit confidence, that there was nothing in the engagement which, could affect either--my religion or politics (whisk I considered as comprehending the whole range of my du ties, civil and religious, and as extending to the first degree only but to the whole Masonic order). and being further informed that many of the moat "illustrious men ,of Virginia, with General Washington at their head,telnnged to that order, and had taken the degree of lbhuger,,l, did not belieVe that in ther . institution at And christiantil is it there could be any thing wir with ; their dutierprpatriots, men yet poisible for me to believe that they could have understood rimi • i obligations. I • ire, thence+ 63r ward,. continually Sal 1 Masonry' as 1/?thing more than a 1 and Oaritable club, designedfot_tha p,. , motion 4 pf good feeling among Ai .rtsnabb and for "the 0- .cuniarrrelida(theix, indigent hrathrtn.—. I have, indeed, thought very little about it for thirty years. It had dropped from my mind so , completely that to not believe I .ould-haveileen -able io gain admi into an lod eat all at • • , • ,1 1, tions, where I should have had to depend a lone on my memory; lied so little conse quence did I attach to it, that wanever Masonry 'has , been occasionally introduced as a subject of conversation, I have felt more disposed to smile than to frown. Thinking thus of it; nothing has more surprized me than to see it blown into consequence in the .rthein-a-nd-Eastern—lStates-as-e-politield engine, and the whole community excited against it as an affair of serious importance. I _had _heard,indee.4 the genera .rnmour that Morgan had been kidnapped and very probably murdered by Masons, for divulg ing their secrets: but I suppth;ed it •to be the act of a - few - ignorant and ferocious desperadoes, moved by their owsktim pulse singly, without 4 the sanction or knowledge of their lodges; and thus think ing, I have repeatedly and continually, both in conversation and letters , :,of 'friendship, spoken . of Masoqty, and Anti-„llfasby a s s a fitter subj'etlor • farce than tragedy, and have been grieved at seeing some of my friends involved in what appeared to me such a._wild and _bitter mid unjust_persecu tion alainst so • harmless an institution as Free-Masonry. I have thought and repeat. edly said that-I considered Masonry as hav ing Bip snore to do with politics than any .n o of the t numecous clubs so humorously c brated in the S* ctatar; and that with o the itim9 in Morgates CAW, it s as unjustsio Charge that on Masonry as it would be, to Charge the private delinquen cies of some professing ~christianity itself. Thlis 1 - have thought and thus 1 - hlive con tinually spoken and written in ply private letters to several t pf my friends. It was not until the geiiod of your assembling here that on the occasion of a friendly visit from one of your members, and my taking the liberty to rally him on the excessive zeal which had been excited on an occasion so inadequate, that he placed before me a de tail of some of the proceedings on the trial of the conspirators against Morgan: when, as established by the testimony both of ad herring and seceding Masons on the trials in York. I observed that in one of them (called the Royal Arch) the candi date swears among ~pther things that he will aid and assist a companion Royal Arch Mason in distress, and espouse his cause so far as to extricate him from the same, if in hirKtief, — / - eketker lithe right or wrong, and that he will' conceal the secrets of a companions Royal. Arch Mason. given him in - charge as such,, murder and treason not excepted; and in other oaths r in still higher degree, t also observe that the candidate binds himself to avenge the violated secrets of, the Lodge by the infliction of death on the offender, and to revenge the wrongs of a brother to the utmost extremity; and the whole mixed - up-with the - most - horrible im- - , precations and blasphemous mockeries of the rites and tenants of the Christian Re ligion. In the details of the trials in the case of Morgan it became manifest that these °atlas are not considered by those who impose and take them as mere idle and unmeaning words; but that they are viewed as solemn oblilations which are to be wacticallLen tbrced, and which in the case of Morgan there is too much reason to believe were tragically enforced._ According to the re ports of the details of that trial as given at some of your formefmeetings, and given at greater length at your meetings in this city, (at one of which, in common with other citizens, I was present,) those oaths areun- socie o Insure • - • 7,*1 according to the exhibition of the evidence made in those reports,tho conspiracy against liorgalmasmitamalaalAegsicananuu4sup. posed, the aceof a few, jgnorant men, alone; but was enolLhired in the lodges themselves enforced-under-their-directioiranreu pport- ed at their expense; the conspiracy enibra ing withiirits iNveep, men of - all degreei, men of-the--learned-professions-farmers-andmechanics; with too much reason to believe that the - secret energy of the masonic spirit had entered and polluted even:the temples of Justice; and with the most demonstra tive proof that .the persons who had enter ed into these unhallowed oaths, considered their allegiance to the lodges as of higher obligation than their allegiance to the laws of their country. If this be masonry, as according to this uncontmdicted evidence it selims to be, I have no hesitation in-say ing, that I consider it at war with the fun damental principles of the social compact, as treason against )society, and a wicked conspiracy against the laws of God and man, which ought to be put down. But gentlemen, this was not,& could not & masonry as understood by Washington. The thing is impossible. The suspicion would be parricide. Nor can! believe that in the quar ter of the Union with which _I am best ac quainted, intelligent men of high and honora ble character, if they have been drawn in to take tkse shocking and impious- oaths, can Consider them as parambunt to their duties to their God and their country. It is true that after the practical exhibition of masonry which we have had in N. Y. no matrof coin. mon prudence can sleep over these discove .ties* will take care in every case ofdoubt to inquire. But both justice and prudence de mand, discrimination: for the powers of a prostitutedlo the purpose of a blind and un just proscription, involving innocence and, honor with guilt egad treaaon,and no . man is worthy of a nomination to this office in , whose . judgment and-jsitrio cad' ,dence plumot, be placedto. naket.tla pr r ME MO a a a distinction between them. Jn the view of all honerable men he would deservedly be come an object of disgust,if he could stoop Muma( by-any-pbadisariga-Case as the price of his hnmmntioll. like this If with these views of my opinions, it is the pleasure of-your convention to change' the nomination, I can asbUre you very sin cerely that I shall retire from it with, far more pleasure than I should accept it.-- If, on the contrary, it be their choice to a bide by it, I have only. to add that in.a gov ernment like ours, I consider no citizen at iherty-to-rejeet-a-neminati: • • - table body, upon personal considerations. Be the 'final deteirmination of your Con vention what_it_may„Lshall _ever _retain - a_ grateful sense of the honor conferred on me by this nomination, and•l beg the Anti-Ma sonic Convention to acccpt the assurance of ,my respect for them and - for - theircause. I do not address them as a party, because I understand the principle of their union to be, TO ASSERT. THE SUPREMACY OF' TUE LAWS; which I trust is and ever,will be the sacred and immutable principle of our common country. W 'M. WIR'I'. Messrs. lennutronp, SLOAX and ELDER, Commitiee of the Nate A. M.
