We perceive that the Boston "Free Press," Philadelphia "Seri," Lancaster "Examiner 4 "usd ens or two Other Antinuisordi papers, are either • d[ ri rdy or indirectly attempting to ditconrage ---4hit-nomnuttionvf—Judge__MoLeAn_for_theiteasi, - &soy. Tiny certainly are taking:the most effec' teal means in their power-to lessen his populari, ty, whether designedly or not.:Theileffectto be ignorant of his AntimasoUry. Is not publicly pledged, say they. And do they seriously 'expect, liiciaten._ situated_ ache_ is;eittim Bench of the Sup me Court, to conic out and pub lish a, philipic against Masonry To • ter the arena as a political gladiatoi? If they are igno, rant of his opposition to Secret Societies, it is be cause they have , not taken the pains to ascertain it in the only way which it would become him to communicate it. The "Examiner" says, "his o. Pinions, on most of the points deemed important, are not known to the,people." The Editor here lefers to his views of the Protecting Policy, Inter nal Improvement, the Judiciary, and the United States Bank. Before we took the early stand which we did in favor of Judge MCLEAN, we were satisfied, from authority which we could not doubt, that his views on those subjects were in direct op position to those of tho present administration.— That he unhesitatingly condemmi the whole course of ttle Van Buren policy. Arid for ourselves,- we ask for no sounder national principles than the reverse of those which hiive been developed by the Jackson and Van Buren messages and acts. •' We ask, what goad can these doubting publics.. tions effect? Do they expect Judge McLuku to notice and answer them through a public newspa per? Do they expect him, on such suggestions, to publish his political creed,. and volunteer his opinions to the people,- anti thereby exhibit the overweening anxiety of a political aspirant? If they expect such things of him i they have mista ken his character. If they desire it, it seems to uslhat they widely err as to what ought to be de sirod of an honorable man, - We believe, that our Antimasonie friends may be fully assured that the Balthnore Convention will have satisfactory ovi • donee of the orthodoxy of Mr. McLEAN'e princi. pies on all national points, We have no doubt that he will be putin nomination by that conven tion. And the fear and anxiety of the adherents of the present degraded administration e ehow that his power is known and dreaded. Their great object now is to continue Clay in the field, as they have nothing to fear from him, Bat he certainly must perceive that longer perseverance will be country. We profess not; to be in -his councils, but we think we hazard little in predicting, that HENRY CLAY Will not be a candidate at the next Presidential ele'etian. And that the contest will be between ANDREW JAcx.som, backed by Van Bu ren, and JOHN McLEAN,_aided b y p the -united strength of the opponents of the present corrupt administration and ruinous policy of the National Government. Trial TICKET.--As tar as we can learb, the ticket ilitiect by the Asithruiccmie conventianr, is deemed an excellent one. We do not mean that every individual on it, is personally popular with every voter of the party. What prominent man is there, who is not personally distanced by some But we should all recollect, that, in supporting a ticket, we are not voting for men, but for prinei. plea. And that every vote which we give against the tieket,from personal motives, is a direct aid yielded to principles which we abhor: The set. sled ticket, we doubt not, will receive every gen. nine Antimasonic vote, and be elected by an over. whelming majority. Unanimity, at this time, is more especially requisite, as we aro to elect a Sena. for this fall in conjunction with York county.— And if we act with undivided energy, we shall succeed over the infideliti -and blasphemy of the Lodge. We regret to loam, that our respected fellow. citizen, Jests Drosses, Esq. ham determinpd to offer himself as a candidate., for the next Legislature. w l i...kr t ret it not on account of his character and quahnoationa; both of which plico 'him on a higl station iu society; but because we believe it wil tend to distract and weaken the party to which amialnik&Of life - We - 4as an early and efficient member, and continues to . be the pride - and ornament: We know that such is not his object; but Ciat he believes, that the step which he has taken will aid rather than in. jure our. cause. - We know him well enough to believe, that his, patriotism would forego all per., soma vie We; would stifle , thq wisperings of , ambi. lion, and allay his private griefs, if he believed their indulgence would mar the prospects of the sacred cause in which we are jointly engaged. We think he errs in judgment, notwithstanding the parity of his intenlioris. Who does not thus sometimes err? Hence the propriety of submit. ting to the decision of the majority. Perhtps the respectable gentleman is opposed to the Delegate System, and takes thisanethoci Rl' man ifitsting his opposition.. There may be some. prop iety in his thus offering his name for a. short time,,and then withdrawing until the neit anneal elestion, that ' the people may be early apprised of kb:lntention. Such we suspect, will be his course. We are mare be does not think seriously of opposing the delegate - nominations, es we- untierstand he at. tended the delegate meeting,'and took part in their election. He thus sanctioned that mode of se tling the.ticket, until their•abet:ions were known. Ile cannot now With honor oppose it—and we kno'w he *ill do no dishonorable act. If he were now to oppmelt, some might be uncharitable e. trough tostippese (erroneously, we admit,) that he is ambitious, and that lie is not so ruttish displeased with the turraers of nominating, as with the &dot' aohs was nominated. Viewing it in this lfght v ive feel. confident that Mr. Dinkson will withdraw his name, for the pre. sent, and not perieVeni in injuring' the party, and &tinging his own figure prospects: , ./BiLLY Bow and' Pa-raft Lirma have summit+ iglo, wont &tie "handmaid" to settle a Conity -I'bey invite all parties who is *43 Ulm They'esallit Antaiinv if= --- ha! bk! hat Great larta - d,Kiap. sad 11,oyal Prinalm4 . l4moma - Whelit! w ' - . .

Howard street flour is a shade higher than last week, the wagon rice being $5 561. An increased demand would, in the present limited supply, cause a l further advance.
