The nomination of Mir Wirt by the Anti Masons, and his acceptance, have produced a considerable sensation among some of the leading Clay editors, and all seem to entertain different views. The Ma tional Journal abuses the Convention in no mea. sured terms, accusing it of abandoning the princi- ples of Anti-Masonry, in selecting MT Wirt On the other hand, the Lynchburg Vrginan handles him severely for accepting the nomination and re- marks that it is " humiatng to the pride of human intellect, to such man as William Wirt, the author of the Old Bachelor and the British Spy the accomplished gentleman the profound jurist, and the eloquent advocate, stoop from his high estate, to be made the leader of such bigotted and gno- rant faction the great mass of Anti Masons con- sttute." The Richmond Whig speaks of him in the highest terms and thinks the liberal and exalted views contained in his letter cannot fail to raise him higher in the estimation of his fellow-citizens So, also, does the National Intelligencer; but is rather inclined to the belief that his nomination may con fict with Mir Clay's interest, and evidently labors to induce the Ants to reconsider their vote. It very modesty hints that the National Republican Con- venton," 10 be held in Baltimore in December, may nominate MT Clay for the Presidency and in such event suggests, that, as both parties generally concur in political sentiment it would be courteous act in Mir Wirt to give up his pretensions, and per init MT Clay to be elected.
