- Rush's Ibe
From the LanCtiger (Penn.) Examiner
We take pleasiire in laying betbre•our rea
ders the following letter from Mr. RITSII to
the Anti-Masonic State "Committee. It is
his reply to a note addressed to him by that
Committee, in obedience to a resolution a
dopted by the late State Convention. The
letter is energetic and unainbiguous,
to the principles and aims of the Anti. M
asonic party that decided and rightfid prefer
ence, which their importance claims; and
avowing unequivocally the writer's determi
nation to give his vote fur the Anti-Masonic
candidates, in case he should be chosen an
lector. It dwells appropriately on the en-'
couragement which the progress of our
cause holds out for purseverence; arid in
the concluding passage urges considerations
that should impress themselves deeply on
the mind of every one who sees and acknow
ledges the evils of Masonry and Masonic in
fluence, though yet hesitating as to the ap
plication of thts remedy. These evils are
wide-spread and deep-rooted; the L.tw can
not hold them in her grasp, nor tear them
from the soil. The people alone, by the
firm exercise of their chief political duty,
can remove them effectually and banish them
forever; arid to their virtue and patriotism,
therefore, in the last resort,- is the appeal
addressed.
Mr. Rush to the Anti-Masonic
State Committee.
YORK, Pa. March 2d, 1839.
GENTLEMEN:-I have received your let
ter of yesterday's date, conveying the infor
mation that the Anti-Masonic State Con
vention, held - at Harrisburg on the 22nd of
last month, nominated me as -one o tho
electors of President and Vico President of
the United States; for which mark of confi
dence, I desire to express to that body thro'
you, as their committee, my grateful
thanks.
You call Upon me at the same time, un
der the injunction_of a resolution adopted
by the Convention, to say whether I will
vote for William Wirt of Maryland,as Pre
•sident,and Amos Ellmaker of Pennsylvania,
as Yice-President, in the event of my being
chosen an elector.
When the Constitution was framed, the
theory of this part of it was, that the elec
tors, when chosen by the suflimges of the
people, were to be left free to vote for whom-,
soever they' thought best qualified to fill
high offices, without reference to the opin
ions of the people at large; but the practice
has been otherwise. When Washington
was first chosen, his transcendent and spot
less worth, commanded the eager vote of
the whole nation. There VMS no competi
tion. Party spirit shrunk from his,presence.
He was the common father of the people.—
There was no occasion to say who was to
be voted for. The name was written upon
every heart. At every Presidential elec
tion since, the electoral candidates, if no
distinct pledge has come from them, though
sometimes this has been given, have voted
according to a tacit undegstanding that has
been as binding. The difference is only in
form. I do not object even to a pledge,
where there is good reason for it; and in ac
ceding to it on the present occasion, I must
beg permission briefly to assign my reasons.
A fellow citizen in New York has been
murdered by a large and daring confedera
cy of Free-Masons, for telling their secrets.
Theispirit that led to this deed has proved
itself able to rescue the murderers from
punishment; for Masonic witnesses would
not testify, against brother Masons, prefer
ring to be committed to prison for not an-,
swering, nor would Masonic jurymen con
vict them, although jurymen,. tiot Magnus,
were satisfied of their guilt. This is enough.
It shows the Lodge to be too strong for the
Law. Can there he a greater reproach to
- the - Republit-I .— lntelligentehd good tnerv.in
terpret innocently the oaths of Free-1114'n: -
ry, which in their literal import ate iio less
coarse than shocking. Thera is no fear
I,lrat, harm will come of the institution
through such men. But it has been de
monstrated that evil-minded men, or l .thoso
of weak understandings, commit rturfider
under color of these oaths. If they dohis,
they will, beyond disple, commit other bad
actions, under the same misconceived obli
gations. Some of these, society will never
find out, owing .to the concealments which,'
the oaths inculcate. Hence it is plain, that
-Masonry is a power which, through its baxj
instruments, works against the rest of so
ciety, and works in the dark. Such an In
stitution is dangerous; it ought not to be al- i
lowed to exist in a well governed country;
and since its energy and wealth give it au
influence not to be extirperid but at the
poll's, I hold this resort to be the first politi
cal duty of every citizen. lam for suspend
ing. all other ,political differences until wo
get rid cif it. - The institOi.on makes a claim
to irresponiibility fortte conduct r of its bad
members, 'such .as is accorded to religion;
but wlici'so far:gone in delusion as to admit
the claim? Iteiellarities, in - the iibstradt,
might he beneficent and its drollefies aMus
ing; but unfortunately they are mixed up with
the demon-spirit of its terrific oaths—like
the bloodynth the.. pound of flesh. With
much cunning, it affects to complain of be
ing persecuted. What a plea! after plac
ing itself in a position hostile to the rest of
society, by being the cause of a crime of
complicated horror;. and continuing, to this 1 ,
hour, to insult .society by retaining in. fel-
lewehip criminals ConviOod under the laws
of the /and of •having- had a share in thief .
crime! • -
V. lertaining thesemopittions; if the euffra
.gei-onf the people should',clothn and yijth the
trust for whiel'yotir partiality hitiPut me in
nomination; I. twill ; not . fail 46.sto:ite. for W..
Wirt as President, .and Mr. Ellmati4tlis
Vice President: I know that the COnslitu
tion says nothing about Masonrsl or Anti-Ma
sonry; nor does if about other party names
under which our people have from time to
time been arranged, and still are. Bnt, with
these names, certain opinions are well known
to be identified. In like imaner it is well
understood, that if the above candidates
should be elected, it will be taken as a voice
from the people against this Institution;
which I for one regard as the greatest pub
lic mischief befOrcy is; arid consequently think
that to ellect its overthrow in a peaceable
and constitutional manner, is the most im
portant Measure of public policy that we
tia.e to achieve.
Anti-Masonry, though cardinal as aspial
ification in our candidates, is not the only
one. If it were, I should not be able to
vote for them. A. vast range of duty be
yond this, attaches to those who may be
called by their esuaitry to the exalted offi
ces in question. I would not have our
candidates partisans, even upon the ques
tion Of Anti-Masonry, upon any question,
still less' persecutors. I would have them
advance the reasonable and just ends of
Anti-Masonry, only as they could do so in
connexion with the other great interests of
the nation; which I believe they would
sedulously and finthfully promote. I be
lieve them both to be Men of a high order;
free from violent passions or prejudices of
any kind; Mr. Wirt eminently fitted for the
Presidency by a rare union of commanding
abilities with. virtue; Mr. Ellinaker not less
fitted by education, talents and clignity for
the Vice-Presidency.
I cannot conclude without offering my
congratulations to the committee on the
steady and firm progress of our cause.—
Here, in our State, we have a happy omen
in the cordial and unanimous nomination of
Mr. Ritter for Governor. It is the cause
of the whole country. It addresses itself
to the common souse of the people. The
more it is examined the more itis approved.
It seeks-to-vindicate the sanctity of the laws;
to expel from the land an Institution that has
outraged them; and that can, at any time
hereafter, outrage .theni at pleasure. The
Masonic force opposed to us, is in reality
very small in numbers; but it is
,well trained,
has command of funds, and is' leagued to
gether by frightfid oaths. It has also, for
the present, a noisy press on its side, thro'
fear or infittuation. But other preSses not
afraid to speak °tit, are fast rising up; not in
the cities, whd,c, lodges are like garrisons,
and keep all in obedience around them; but in
the interior. We are the militia; but the
militia are the country, and by firmness and
perseverance, we shall prevail.
It is material to add, that if we do not pre
vail against this Institution by bringing popu
lar opinion to bear upon it at the polls; in oth
er words, if we do not make the question
political, we cannot prevail at all. If the
lodged existed by act of incorporation from
any legislative power, the acts proved upon
its members on the Morgan trials, would
long since, have led to a forfeiture bf its privi
leges under a writ of Quo warranto. But
it stands upon no such footing, and society
cannot have the benefit of this legal correc
tive. A lodge will deign to accept a legis
lative act of incorporation, so tar, merely as
to'enable it ta hold property: but it looks to
the legislature tin nothing else. All interior
lodges derive their charter of existence, from
the Grand Lodge;, and the Grand Lodge is
self-created.,. It rides in a sphere of its own.
It is independent of the legislature. The
.QuoAcarr4n(9..ornig_th9rgibro ispitte
people, and the decision be had on the elec
tion ground. There, or elsewhere, must be
found the Hercules to destroy the hydra.
I have the honor to remain,
With great respect;
- Your obedient & obliged lervant,

THIRTEII4.Y DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.
An arrival at Now York, on the 10th inst. from
Europe, brings intelligence thirteen days later
to the evening of the oth of February.
A conspiracy of some importance has been
discovered at Paris, but immediately put
doWn, the debates in the Chambers .on the
Budget continues, and at time are as acri
monious and violent as usual. The celebra
ted Sect of St. Simonians have attracted the
attention of Government—the Chief has been
seized and the Hall in which they held their
sittings closed.
England and France have taken a Laded
step in Belgian Affairs. They have ratified
the Treaty agreed' on by the London Con
ference. . Tho two Governments it is sajd
have held the.most decided language to the
.other powers. The seizure of M. Stevens,
the Ghent Editor is justified• by Leopold's

tion of.th.4tlemolition of the Belgian for

_LONDON, Fel). 6.—The Paris papers
of Saturday, with the Messager des Chain
bres, dated yesterday, reach us this, morn
ing. They add but little to the information
which bad previously arrived, respectinh the
consp;tracv. Paris was in perfect tranquili
ty on Saturday evening, butt the arrests con
tinued; and it is somewhat remarkable that
among those already made, there are many
of persons at present or formerly in official
employments, arid connected with the Police.
The plot is certainly in itself of a sMlicientl
serious character.
ITALY.--The news from Italy is to the
24th Jan. The General - GraboWSki, COm.
mandant General of the Austrian torce6, had
received despatches from Col. Barbieri, in
which the Colonel requested the assistance
of the Austrian army to favor ,them the en
trance of the Pontifical troops into Bologna,
Which was defended by a considerable corps
patriots. All the civic guards had retro
gaded upon Bologna.
• It is said that within the last fortnirTht, M.
pc Metternich has addressed to the French
Government a diplomatic note, in which he
declares that Austria, whenever she has in
terterred in the attains of Italy, was not ac
tuated by a spirit ofconquest, but merely by
a conservative fooling, and thatithis motive
induced her to intervene a second time with
respect to Romania.
. THREE. DAYS LA TER.
Another arrival brings intelligence from Paris
Apple, 9th of February—throe days later.
Advices froM Alexandria, received at
Trieste, state that Ibrahim Paella had re- -
.ceived a severe repulse at St. Jean d'Acre
on the 9th of liecember. On the morning
of that day, he ordered a general assault of
the town by sea and land, which continued
for eight hours, without interruption. The
Egyptians were-killed in great numbers, and
their fleet, which was much damaged ; was
compelled to leave the port, while the army
retired upon -(Cilia. A depUty from. the
Sultan had arrived at Alexandria, and held
frequent conferences with the Viceroy.
The troops of the Pope, `n the 20th Jan
uary, card all the barricades which had
been than up,, in ,The vicinity of Casino,,,,
Neri, took the placo with seine slaughter,
and made a hundred prisoners.. On the
nekt day they occupied the village of Forli,
without opposition. On the 28th, Bologna
was occupied, by the pontifical forces in con
junction with the brigade under General
Grabowsky.
A letter from Forli speaks of horrible
massacres committed Were, and elsewhere.
Cardinal Albain arrived there on the 22d,
and issued a proclamation of amnesty.
The discussions on the budget were con
tinued in the French Chathbers. The de
bates were long and animated. ,
The Queen of Spain was delivered of a
Princess on the 30th January, to the disap
pointment of the royalists, who had expected
a Prince.
The Manifesto of Don PedPo, who had
embarked from Nantes (Or Belle Isle, is pub
lished in the Constitutionel of the f•ith, dated
on board of the frigate Itainha de Portugal.
It is an animated and long address to all loy
al Portuguese, promising indeMnity to those
who take no voluntary part against him. .
