ing his views on the nominations madosby the
11S. Anti-Masonic Convention Jest September.
YORK, (Pa.) Nov. Bth, 1931.
DEAR. SIR.-4 very much regretted that
-or seeing yourself and
- friends :from Now York, who did .me the
&tor of. a call as you passed through this
place on your way to Baltimore. I came
doWn stairs a moment after receiving your
cards, and was truly sorry to have missed
the opportunity of taking you all by the
hand.
Had - you. again taken th'i's' route on your'
return from Baltimore, as I cherished the
hopeyotiwould o, it Would have .given me
the opportunity;of saying to you in person,
what I have been happy to say to others,
whenever I have the opportunity: viz: how
highly I' was pleased with, what you did in
7 - thiy convention.. A better Selection than Mr.
Wirt z could not in my opinicrn be made.--
.. :With genius, as well as high cultivation, the
trim elements of greatness unite in, him. It
.is known to mo from the highest source of
information, that 'when Mr. Jefferson was
about to retire from the Presidency, to be
succeeded by Mr. Madison, - he expressed a
strong wish that Mr. Wirt would consent to.
come into the House of Representatives of
. the taitecl States,- that he might .assume
the Ascendency in that body, and with it the
influence in our national affairs then grow
ing critical,, to which his commanding abil
ities and probity would have destined him.
But, little ambitious of public .honors, the
road to. which then lay open to him under
auspices the most brilliant, he declined.—
..:.,, , servieea-during-twelve-yeamin the .

has identified him with the course of pub

So Masonry, like a true sovereign, also sets
up this sovereign claim. The goverment

the fruits of its wild and hideous oaths.—
They would excite nothing but the superla

On the-point , of Masonic-oaths, I must beg
you: to turn to Livy 10th book, section 28.
Reading him a few evenings ago, I was
much amused with Ming' upon a passage,
*.whole.orwhich I would copy, but that it
'tilde long.. It is one in which he describes
the linen legion of the Samnites. From this
legion those who contend for the antiquity
of masonry may if they think fit, date its
origin. It may at least supply their anti :
qua.rian researches with some good. hints,
cin.t. 5 ti....t....U.0g quite such a stretch
into backward time-as the days of king Sol
omon, it leaps ever John the Baptist. The
Samnites being at war. with the Romans,
- assembled their - whole force-at-Aquilenei—A
piece of ground in the middle of the camp
was enclosed with hurdles and boardS, and
covered over head with a linen cloth, the
sides being all of an equal length. Within
this enclosure, sacrifices were ;performed,

sofemnities . 'calculated to impress the mind
with religious awe, therawere altars erected,
about.which lay the victim slain, and man.

The soldier was lcd up. to the altars, rather
like a victim. than a. performer in the cere
