E
necessary to answer you'r query in' relation
t'o Croswell. He is a shrewd dapper little
tellow—five feet nothing in height—with
a sanctimonious countenance, that argues
greak - equanimity of temper and pe;fect;
sauslitction with himself., He owes his el.'
evation to Mr. Van Buren, and his success
to his consummate prudence, industry and
good judgment. He does not claim, nor
do his friends award to him any thing more
than mediocre talents, either as a poljtician,
or a writer, but he is a safe man. He lis
tens, but never, talks; nor does he ever do
any thing upou the spur of the moment.—
In New York, he would sink into obscurity
-in a -week - L—lce would ever be a weelcbehind
the occurrences of the day. But in - Albany,
surrounded by • good advisers; and: always
ready to listen to advice, his prudence has
proved invaluable to him. By an able piece
oemanagement, he holds his situation as
State. printer for life, or until he is turned
out by the Legislature. It is strange but
true, that in so democratic a State as New
York, no period is fixed fur which the State
printer shall be elected. You must per
ceive at once the advantage of this l "to Cros
well. Were each Legislature to elect its
printer, the feeling of the House and Sen
--nte-wonld be frequently apparent, and a tie w
printer would be appointed every few years;
but as it is, there is no opportunity to get an
expression ofopinion without assailing Cros
well. A political friend, doubtful of suc
cess, will nut do it; and when it is attempted
by the opposition, the party, as a matter of
course, put it down. e has amassed a
very large fortune out o e,
should have the modesty to retire. For a
man without any particular claims, God
knows he has received enough, but he don't
think so; and the. controlling influence he
has exercised over Governor Throop, indu
ces him to assume airs and throw aside
much of the prudence which, has thus far
sustained him. The truth is, success has
• spoiled him, and you will find that the pre
sent winter will do much towards injuring .
his influence.

another disclosure of POLITICAL Masonry, we

As for Weed, he is very clever for an
Anti-Mason, with ten times the talents of
Croswell, but, not tithe of his prudence._
lie became an Anti-Mason from policy; but
is at heart a warm friend of Clay, and now
curses his stars that he is compelled to op
pose_ him. _ ,11e_hates Croswell_inost, coati
-
ally, and on his account abuses Van Bureii,
who,bo-says,_would be quite_a decent fellow
in good company ! The .truth is V. B. is
feared by our opponents, and owes more
than a moiety of their abuse to his command
ing talents and influence. Weed is aware
that Livingston, Wright, Marcy and Elam,
have beerrktorn oltheir influence, but he
thinks, and wisely top, that the true - mede'of
injuring thesttlent4nen, is to make them
responsible for the acts of Croswell, Porter
and Olcott. We wi settle all Allis matter
at the next election, without any injury to
Jackson or Van Buren. 7'
I see Duff daily, and though as you inti
mate my punishing him now would not be
a violation of my promise, yet it would be
calculated to produce another fidse impres
sion as to my motives. My object is to get
a fight out of him, and coward as he is,'
think I'll succeed. — I intend him at
tacked in some distant paper, and ,accused
of avoiding a fight With me. He is enfire-
PRESIDENT, and the TRUE POLICY
-now - is, to . 'start a candidate in EVERY
'STATE. \lt is said that the Senate will
reject his domination to England. c = I HOPE
SO; for then his election as Vice President,
and afterwards President, is rendered mor

We admire an honorable opponent, but despise
the petty quibblings and allusions of the Harris.
burg Intelligencer. Martin Van Buren to lead
the Antt.Masons of New York ! Pshaw ! There
is about ris much prospect of Van Baron's leading
i i
the Anti. Masons as the honorable Editors of th
Ititelligencer. Pray, gentlemen, if you are &ron

say. MASONRY ,isria Work Now; to -- secure
the re-electior of Andrew Jackson; and we
make the alleftatign on a knowledge of the
fact from his - min pen, that he did make use?
of it to promote Ms election in 1828. It is
in a letter from Andrew Jackson to the edi
tor of paper, that he makes the acknow
ledgement-orusing MASONRY to secure - his
efixtion in 1828: • That letter shall be pub,.
Usher]; and the veil rent from the Temple
of iniquity of which the great High Priest
is Andrew Jackson."
By the 'term "Federal. Masons'," the
Whig has reference to an expression con
tained in a lately published letter from the
Editor of the New York Courier to a ma
sonic politician and correspondent at Har
risburg. The expression is as follows:
f.lint.lbr the support of Wel — FEDERAL
MASONS in the river counties, an antima
sonic governor would have been elected" in
in New York. Here is an explicit acknowl
edgement, by an active politician oppose -
to antimasonry, that masonry is exerted to
influence elections, and that consequently
masonry is political.
