From the Cincinnati Gazette. MR. WIRT'S LETTER. I - This production is inserted in the Gazette of to-day. It is anotner lamentaDie instance no.w immediately and completely, a prospect of dis tinction confounds the human judgment, and induces even c:rcat and good men td appear in i t he guise of knaves or simpletons. ; Every m-tellio-crit man, who reads this letter without the partiality or the prejudice of anti-masonry, annot fail to see, in its verbosity and confusion of ideas, an attempt to conceal the greedy ap petence and gratified egotism, with which the domination is accepted. Shakespeare's inimi table exposure of Cajsar refusing the crown, does not make the affectation of public spirit more' palpable and ridiculous, than Mr. Wirt makes himself. j Mr. Wirt informs u?, for the letter was writ Hen for. the public that, until the Convention met, he had regarded, anti-masonry very much as it is regarded by all sensible men in theCoun trv. who have not partaken of its excitement. IJut, in the short space of two days, he is made a thorough convert to its .. principles, motives 'and nbiects! And this conversion is effected t jy receiving his new impressions from a select and chosen few of its most highly excited and infatdatcd leaders. He is instantly filled with all the enthusiasm of a new convert, eulogizes his new compeers as the most lofty patriots, pronounces their Undertaking as of vital inter est to the country, and descants upon the de merits. of masonry hi as "good set ferms"; as Solomon Southwick or I Richard Rush ! It would naturally occur to an indifferent person, that !such a sudden conversion, taking place in r tlic instant that the high temptation of a nomi nation to the Presidency was held out to the no vicale, is liable to the suspicion of proceeding from the bias of .surrounding circumstances.- If this imputation would naturally attach to the conduct of Mr. Wirt; a man of his age expe rience and knowledge of the world, ought to I have been sensible ot it. He should have dis ! trusted himself, and, rejected the temptation, as leading to an act that might inflict a lasting stigma upon his character. I am mistaken if he docs not. live to wish he had pursued this bourse. ' j Mr. Wirt states his "i!iews'and opinions," about "pledges and promises". He commen ces by confessing that in his youth he was a mason. But then he made no advances in the order. He saw no harm iu it, nevertheless he declined attending lodges and has not entered one for thirty years. Yet he always spoke well ,)( masons and masonry f rBut since the assem bling of the convention, he had learned the ho r Hd facts disclosed on the JVtorgan trials ! Then follows a tirade upon this subject extending nearly to the end of the letter. In all this there lis no t ono word about "pledges and promises." Jt winds up with a hini against proscription, J i' , . f i . i? - i i . rL . ana the duty oi discriminating octwecu mno oence and honor, guilt and treason, which dis crimination every President should be able and ready to make. Having said this much, which is ceTtainljr sufficfently intelligible, Mr. Wirt strongly anathematizes I any man who would give ; pledges to obtain the nomination for the 1 residency ! y ct he actually bartersHhis very pieage ior the nomination ! Who can mistake it ? .i JiV.iCh?!ttCUof monry, as exhibited on according tojhe lXtY'eSe U seems to be, I have no liesit;o - fu !

Again, he y is true that after znfl ipracitcui exaioinon oj Masonry in New i'jLuin$ uj wit, uj iruiunvn pruaence can sleev pver these discoveries " What then? "The power of the President ought not to be prosti tuted to the purpose of a blind and unjust Drb- seription, involving innocence and honor with gitilt and treason, and no man is worthy of a it appears to me there can be no question There is some reason to apprehencTthat the whole movement has proceeded upon political calculationsof thisnature. Thepresent admin istration, especially its head, is sopbnoxious to a large party, in the country, that they may be driven to unite in any measure most likely to remove it. Iri this expectation of forcing sup port the anti-masons have deemed it a favorable time to press their pretensions. Iri the belief that this coercion .would be operative, Mr. Wirt has clutched the nomination. These cal culators may be mistaken. It is even possi ble that the re-election of President Jackson may be. preferred, to the success ! of such an attempt, made by such men as may lead it. This is1 (matter for , grave consideration, and not to be too hastily decided upon. v From the Rochester Republican. U ANTI-MASONRY J This party has successively abandoned all its original grounds. J The executive of this state has yielded assis tance tp pUnish the aggressors: special acts have bjeen passed by the legislature: special officers appointed to prosecute. The laws have been enforced; no instance can be shown of re sistencc to the laws of the state. ! Trials have been held : and all the conspirators punished, (excepting such of them whom death had taken from th; arms of public justice.) j. It is true, that in the trial of some of those aiibordinately engaged iii the abduction, "the juries were not able to. agree; and it not being legal in this country topunish jurors for disagreeing in their consultations under oath, those juries were discharged. Who will dare to say, who knows any thing about it, that masonry has poisoned the tountams of Public Justice in this state? ji Have the Judgesx on the bench ever screened any culprit on account df masonic or any other obligations? He who! would make such an assertion, even be he Wm. Wirt, ex hibits great turpitude of heart, or the most in excusable ignorance of facts. I Taking the explantations from the ant-masonic convention, of their intentions, Mr. Wirt who had neVer renounced masonr)r; who never knew any thing bad of the masonic institution, although a member himself rwho could not hp- lievc that masonry was so understood by Gen. Washington, and by the high-minded " most illustrious men of Virginia" "it would be a paricide to to believe it," who never knew anv thing of Anti-masonry but as a 'j fitter subject iur iarce man tragedy; this man, when the nomination for the Presidency wab in prospect, pins at once upon his sleeve the great discove ry, that " in the east and north masonry was a monstrous political engine;" aridkdoptinff the antiniasonic creed, gallantly arnis himself for me ngni, to put down masonry, of which, as a muauij, ae Knew no harm V ter strange gods Verily Wm.

Such nomination excites no lit-. t been too much the fashion to underrate its im portance. This could never have been, except from1 the extraordinary fact, that during the lonff period of more than forty years which has elapsed since the Federal Constitution went into operation, no President has ever died du rin or the term for which he waselected. We can not expect that this will always -be the case Our Presidents are no more exempt from the stroke of fate than other men; and when we reflect that the Vice President, before the end of the next term, may become the President, we confess we attach momentous importance to the choice.

The New Yprk Mer cantile Advertiser stages, that in a recent cor respondence between the Secretary ofthe Trea sury and the President ot the U. S Bank, it is stated the whole debt of the United, States on the first day of January next, will be less than twentv five millions of dollars. The United States own seven millions of the stock ofthe Bank, which at the present rate would produce upwards of eight millions, and if converted to this purpose, would reduce the debt to abou 16 millions. Besides this fund, there will be in possession of government at the period above mentioned, twenty millions inbonds, the whole of which, it is further stated, not only the Bank but individuals offer to discount. The United States, therefore, possess the means of paying on the whole debt at any time they please ! When this is-done, the ordinary annual expen ses ofthe government will require only ten or eleven millions, while the revenue, under the Again we answer, the man who stands next in their confidence to the President himself. He Ishould be well known by his public services to the people ofthe several states: and these ser vices ought to have been of such a character as to afford the firmest asaurance both of his ability and patriotism. In short, he should be a man to whom a free people ought to be willing to entrust the administration of the most impor tant office in their gift, at a critical period of their existence. In addition to these qualifications, he ouffht to be the sincere friend of General Jackson, and of the principles of the great re publican party of the country which brought him into power. We may be asked, how shall such a candidate he selected? We know of no mode but bv a National Convention. There is no other par ticular method of combining public opinion in favor of any of the individuals who have been or who may be named. ; The republican party, since congressional caucuses have been aban doned, cannot preserve its organization without such conventions, without them, it would soon be broken into fragments. After General Jackson's next election, it is almost certain the republican candidate for the Presidency must be selected in this manner. It is more than probable there will then be several candidates for that office, belonging to our party, each of whom will be favorites in their own portion of the Union, and all possessing qualifications nearly equal. Under such circumstances, how else is the candidate ot the party to be npmi nated? Are they all to be run and all to be de feated by our political enemies, for thewaptof union among ourselves! Or shall we byj our divisions suffer the Presidential elections here after to be determined by the House of Repre sentatives, and thus endanger the existence of the Union? These evils can only be obviated by National Conventions. CRITO. The Tariff Modification. For two years, the Clay party proper, the high-pressure advo cates of the " American System" have been clamoring at Gen. Jackson and his administra tion, for desiring and recommending a modifi cation of the Tariff: The Tariff, " as it is,? hhs been stoutly and pertinaceously upheld, asj one of the greatest of possible blessings, the verv jewel of "protecting" measures, to doubt or to question which, was a political treason against the ' system deserving of the severest repre hension, the bitterest denunciation, and per petual exclusion from the honors of public of fice. Loud and long were their wailings and lamentations over the " imbecile wickedness" of Jackson, in presuming to think the Tariff of 1828 imperfect, and presuming to suggest that it might be wisely and advantageouslv modified. From "Dan to Beersheba" from Madawasca to Barataria, the same note was ta ken up; the Great " System" as it is, was magnified and eulogised and defended and to every suggestiou that questioned its perfection, the cry was like that of the silver-smiths of Ephesus, when they thought their "craft was in danger;" Great is Diana of the Ephe- SIANS." A great change seems, however, to have come lately over these "high pressure" gentlemen, Modification is the new order of declamationJ NEWBERN PRICES CURRENT. CORrtECTED EVERY TUESDAY.

If the boiler contained a. flue, what was the difference between the height of its upper side and that of the lower gauge cock ? 4. What was the weight per square inch oh the safety valve ? 5. Had the safety valve ever been found rus ted or stickfnin the aperture, or was it so at the time ? 6. Had that part of the boiler above the water ever been heated to a red heat, or approaching thereto ? . , 7. Was there any incrustation or sediment found at the bottom of the boiler? If so, what was its thickness and composition ? 8. In what part was the boiler rent, and w hat wree the appearance and extent ofthe rent? 9. If the bursting happened to the holier of a steamboat, was the boat underway, or at rest.' Was the valve open ? If so, how long before the accident? Was it opened by the Engineer, or by pressure ? , ; 10. Was the piston going aHts usual speed, or faster or slower ? 11. Had the firemen found any unusual diffi culty in keeping up the motion of the cngin previously to the bursting ofthe boiler; and it so, how long before ? 12. Do the iron boilers used in the Western waters generally accumulate a calcereous incrus tation at the bottom ? If so, have any or what means been used, s with success, to pre vent it? 13. Is it observed that when there is a sedi ment or incrustation on the bottom of the boiler, it requires more fire than usual to raise the steam; land how often is the sediment removed, and by what means ? 14. Are any means used for preventing in crustation on the bottom of boilers ; and, if so, what effect has been observed ? " 15. Have any means been employed to prove steam boilers before they are used or afterward? and what pressure has, usually been. applied to iron of a given thickness I Are the proofs made 1 .! ii . r wnen tne iron is com or hot? 16. Is there any instrument employed to as certain the temperature of the boiler above the water, or of the steam in the upper part ofthe boiler ? If so, what is it ? 17. What means are used to prevent the fire from the fire place and flue from extending to the boat? 18. Have you ever seen steam boilers heated to a red heat on the upper side ? If so, is such a temperature regarded as a cause of exploding the boiler ? 19. Have any means been used in the con struction of boilers or fire places to prevent the heating ot the upper part of the boiler? Ii so what are they ? 5U. How many persons were scalded bvsteair. and at what distance was cateh from the boiler? At what distance from the boiler was the steam t supposed to be hot enough to scald ? Was the current of steam from the rent in the boiler in stantaneous, or did it continue for some time, and how long? What number of persons were wounded by the parts of the boiler or machi nery, which were driven off bv the explosion, and what position did each of these persons oc cupy in the boat? 21. Have you-ever observed the piston to move irregularly, for a few minutes, or for a few strokes, alternately faster or slower than its. - usual speed, without perceiving any change m ne resistance to the paddles, or any otner vious cause forsuch irregularity ; and, if so how was it accounted for ? 22. To what immediate cause have you rihiitei. . the. hiirKtino- of thn smiti hniler5 which have come within your knowledge ? 23. Are there any other facts within yous knowledge in relation to this subi'ect, which ate. pear to be important in the present enquiry If so, please to state them Ik'.. It
