Tlicy probahly will help tho sule of the Uook, uml niukc the rcputation ofMrThoinpson, as n biographical writer, moro cxtcnsively known. 1 huve notliing to say about Monoy-Diggcrs. My subjeet is altogcther diflereut, uud while it will please sotnc it may displensc othcrs. Then to '.ho Mihject: On tho 4th of July, 1830, I usccndec! CamePs liump, in height fur ubovo the clouds.

What docs ll'ilton inean? The Antirua sonie party isccrtain'y inore numerous, and harmonioiis, tlnui nny party in the Statc ; und has it not wisdom enough to nianagc its own afluirs witliout becoming n subservitnl tool to somc other party ? Jf'illon thiuks it hns not. Such laugungo from n Dcserter is an insult to tho Antimasonic uarty. So ho thiuks, or prclciids to think, tlmt thc organ izution of tho party has been disconlinucd. Uut I guess wu lmvo our candidates, nnd we shnll go to the polls, und voto for them. And thc moro votes of the right kind wo cnn get for our candidates from iho other two pni-tU.'.o, so iiiuch tho better. Uut wo do not go begging; nor offering rewards for dcserters from either of the other two par tics to help us. All wo want is to supjioi t our Anlimasonry, nnd tho Whig prinnp'cs of 1770.
