 IHe Presidency cy.--Rumors have for few days prevailed, that overtures have been made by the anti-masonic party to MT. Adams and to MT. Rush. which have been declined by both of these gentlemen. We do not youch for the correctness of these rumors nor is it m Gur power to trace them to an authentic source. The precise extent of these oyertures does not appear 10 be understood but " hat evef form they may have assumed, their pur- port and substance may be safely coniectur- ed. It is said that more light will shortly be thrown on this subject. and that it will appear that each of these gentlemen declined taking any step inconsistent with personal and polit- IcaI attachment to Mr. Clay.

Rush nave also declined being the candidates of this party, lasit is now rumored that they bavel U would appear that there is no individual that has been thought of for the Presidency, wno IS willing. under the circumstances of the case, to accept their nomination.

 The anti-masons must then, at this election, oring forward some individual of their own party, not possessed of high national standing, and without the hope of success or they must sIpport'izne of the regular candidates. m the latter case, Mr. Clay ought to receive their support--because should he succeed. sre sagtt huce q first fafe Prssideat.
