[From the Baltimore Patriot.)
The late nomination of Mr. Wirt as a
Presidential candidate, unexpected as it un
deubtly was, to the country, has vet been
received wherever announced, with an ap
probation, that must cheer and encourage
the hopes of all those,. who, contending for
principles,' - and not merely for men, are the
determinednpponents of the present admin
istration. IV some indeed, who have so
suffered their judgments to, be swayed by
their, predilections, ,that they :nay be said to
- be - lone - to an individual, rathbr than to a par
ty, this nomination ; as might-have been anti
cipated,-hits been met by dissatisfaction , and
complaint. It is true that Mr. Wirt is spo
ken of by them, in general toxins of respect
an , l cominendation,but at the sane time, they
affect pitnt surprise at his acceptance of a
nomination; which they seem to regard, as
enact of treachery to the great National Re
publican party, and of faithlessness to Mr.
Clay. Mr. Wirt ; it is said, must see that
,Iyis acceptance breaks the force and unity of
the opposition, the , unimpared strength of
which is required in the great.contost in
77, h - 16 id: ',IL
which it iirengngel Al must know, that a
large majority of those who compose that Op
position, are in favor of supporting Mr. Clay ,
as their candidate. Nay more, c 'illr. Wirt
himself, in consenting to attend the National
Repo - bile:U:l Convention in December, as a
&legate from this District, stands directly
pledged to the nomination of Mr. Clay, un
der every possible conjuncture of circum
stances, and in preference to any other indi
vidual.
- They who hold this language, are either
ignorant of the real state - of parties, "or woe
fully blind by their personal partialities--
They seem to forget that the opposition is it
sulf divided, with reference to the selection
or a Presidential candidate; and that with-
oat co-operation, success is utterly hopeless.
That Mr. Clay, is the deserved favorite .ef a
----inve-portiou-of-the—National•--Republican
party, is and y-htedly true, but there is pot rl
well judging man among them, who does
not know, that even with the entire and un
broken rce of - that party, Mr. Clay can
havik no possible chance of succeeding, with
out the aid of the other parties in the op-po
sition. That aid, Mr. Clay and his friends
=mot now look for. The nomination of
the Anti-Masonic party is decisive upon this
point. That nomination can never be re
tracted;. it is idle and illusory to expect it.
That thefsuffinges of the Anti-Masonic
Convention did not fall upon Mr: Clay, may
well be re g retted, 'by the admirers of that
distinguished—statesrnan, but it Could not
otherwise. Mr. Clay himself,
77:The - Wilich he - saw proper to pur
,. antlered the strenuous efforts of
- - in and out of the Convention,
titles!. The decision upon his
claims to the nomination, was irreversibly
made, long before Mr. Wirt's name was even
suggested. There Was therefore no cornpe.
talon 10kveen thorn. With a knowledge of
this deliberate determination on the part of
the Convention,. which it was. perfectly un
derstood, that no circumstances could induce
them - to revoke, Mr. Wirt was most unex
peCtedly called upon to at. How ought he
to have acted? . -It true that he was one of
the Delegates from this District, to the Nit'-
. tional Republican Convention which is to as
semble in December; -but it is not true,_ that
however strong his preferences for Mr. Clay,
ho was absolutely pledged to support his
nomination, in every possible posture of cir
cumstances. .
- The members of that Convention, do dot
standstandthus committed in advance, to any in
divldual. If that is the understauding else ,

where let it be known att. it is not the un
derstanding iu Matylana,„The' Alarylaad
Delegates have acceptbd their ap . pointinents,
tinder no other engagement, positive or im
plied, Than to select that man, who with all,
the necessary qiralitications for the high of
fice in question, will at tho same time be
most likely to concentrate the whole strength
of the Oppositien. Mr. 'Wirt,-we are quite
sure would' never have consilnted to go into

.itself decisive .against 314..,C1ay.. For no
man, however ardent and sanguine, can for
a moment cheat hiMselflnto-the belief, that
with the Anti-Masonic party against, Mr.
Clay, he has the slightest
.hope of 'success:
One of hits earliest and most devoted friends
who for many years has labored in his cause
with untiring zeal, at last reluctantly con- !
icsses .”that there i* not the glimmering of a
prospoct, — favorable to Henry Clay, as a can
didate
for the Presidency. If the election"
says he, "were to take place to-day, he
might - probably secure the vote - of Massadhu
setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut; but he
would lose Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. This Would be his fate in Nen
England. What would he do in the West!
lie might probably secure the vote or Lou
iana; but Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Indi
dna, Illinois and Kentucky, he would most
certainly lose, whilst it is possible that he,
might gain Ohio, Maryland and Delaware.
And of what avail Would all this 'be, when it
is well known that he cannot even ,hope for
any support in Virginia, New York or Penn
sylvania. W hat - pbsAibie chance : : there
for Henry Clay! At the next canvass of the
electoral colleges of the States, who a can say
in anticipation; that Mr. Clay will gain Itliode
Island, Massachu set ts or Connecticut. The
Anti-Masonic party—one of the most flour
ishing parties that ever existed in this coun
try,'has avowed its determination not to sup
port Mr. Clay; and it is next to a moral
certainty that ere the arrival of NoveMber,
1832, Anti-Masonry will have a MAJORITY
and . an oymWIIELMING INFLUENCE in all
Mew Englale:"
Assured of the inflexible determination of
the AtrttM sop is - party;:in no-possible-con
, tingency .to support Mr. Clay, how could
Mr. Wirt's rejection of that nomination aid
him in the slightest degree ? Had lie de
clined, it would have fallen ; not : on-Mr.-Clay,
but on some other individual, less acceptable
perhaps to the National Republican party.
Mr. Clay would then have been precisely
where he is now, without a hope strong e
nough to encourage exertion. Why then
should Mr. Wirt have rejected the nomina
tion? To force Mr. Clay on this desperate
chance? Was that his duty Ito his country,
or were her best interests to be sacrificed to
a. perfectly vain elfort For Arr. - Clay? Did -
good faith require it? The only faith
pledged was pledged to his country, and
she forbade it. By his rejection, the Anti
maionic strength, of so much importance in•
the approaching contest, must have been ine
vitably lost to the National Republican party.
By his acceptance, that strength is placed
within their reach: The option is theirs.
They are not forced to unite upon:llr. Wirt;
they are still free to adhere to Mr. Clay, and
can give him all the strength he ever had
for he has lost only the Anti-masonic strength
which he had lost before Mr..Wirt was
thought of as a candidate, and which Mr.
Wirt's rejection could not have restored to
him. 4.sit.uated as Mr. Clay is, Mr. Wirt'
could have brought no strength to him,
which would not have left his chances just as
..hopeless...as_they_now_a_re,. _For we repeat,
ho.lvever reluctantly, that with the Anti
'Masons, Calhoun, and' ackson against him,
to say nothing of the party acting with Mc-
Lean, his election is impossible- Such we
are well assured, is the decided opinion, of
many of his warmest, most zealous, and dis
tinguished friends.
What then may be the effect of Mr.
Wirt's acceptance? He' has the entire
Anti-51440c strength already. The par
ty is ardent, resolved and unanimous. There
is good reason to believe, that the Calhoun
party will prefer him to Jackson, and sup
port his nomination. The thouands - Who
have seceded from the Jackson ranks, will
rally. under his standard. if then, the Na
tiimal Republican party unite - upon him,
• they may attain, what they have always
allog4-to be their paramount object, the
displa6ement of General JaCkson. They.l
may not achieve the victory under - the lead
er whom they would have preferretk but
the question is .now solemnly put to them,
whether they prefer their first favorite to
their country? whether.they are contending
for the great principles of a wise and virtu
ous administration of the government, or
only fins the-advancement of a single indi
vidual? Will. it he said that they will not
suffer the Anti-masonic party to dictate to
them, and to constrain them to a choice, a
gainst their will? This may. be, thel.Oide.
of party, but is it -Patriotism kiet the
National. Republican Conventionde&de; H
To their calm, dispassionate, and patriotic
consideration, these hints are submitted.
if public gratitude demands that Mr. Clay'
should be' sustained, howover hopeless his
prospects; if the political morality of the
country demands that course; if the, prep,
dent will do good in after times, though' it
I, is .now to. end in the. certain re-election or
Getteral Jackson, why let that course be
taken. If it would he a bad moral exam
ple to desert Mr. Clay, and attempt to unite
all . -parties in
,the opposition. upon another
individual, who affords a brighter hope of
thus restoring the honor of the Republic,
'let them still'cleave to him. No portion of
his strength will have been detracted by
this nomination." But let not Mr. Wirt be
censured, since he has takeunci• strength
from Mr. Clay, that he ever could have
.
commanded, and woe, by accepting the
nomination he has opened the only prospe6t
of uniiing the opposition. Ir. Stead of
