HARRISBURG CONVENTION,

Our columns to-day, furnish the result of the H5r-
risburg Convention. The proceedings of that body
have manifested unanimity unexampled. General
jackson received the whole of the votes, as sua.
BILE candidate for the Presidency, but that of Jona-
than Roberts alonc-and this circumstance at ouca
constitutes him most formidable pretender to that
high Office OF all che singular and unaccountable
signs OF the times, the support of Gen. jackson
by pennsylvania, Is the n'oH singular and unac-
countable. More remarkable at all times for era-
witty of character than intellect, and for a passive
acquescence In the impulses of others, than d;s-
position to act upon her suggestions, more rea-
dy to follow than to lead. Pennsylvania has upor
this occasion discovered fTvolity of disposition,
and an ecccDtricity of sentiment, at war with The
general dullness and phlegm of her national cha
racter. We mean disrespect to that nreat state
but we cannot avoid thinking and saying, that this
act demonstrates the fact that she is i'm the rear of
the Union, III that sort of intelligence which ouali
fes man TO appreciate aud enjoy civil liberty. 1t
belongs for the most part only, to savagcs and the
iiiterae vulgar, to be captivated by the glare of
military renown, and those who are incapable of
Distinguishing between the description of talents
which constitutes the soldier and the statesman are
alike incapable of forming just views of that proper
fitness oil things and of proportioning the end to
the means. That Pennsylvania with one consent,
has determined to support Gen. Jackson President
of the u States, proof sufficient that her citizens
are republicans rather from being accidentally born
in Republic, and from habit, than from theory and
opinion.

MIR. CLAY.

We publish by request, from the Richmond
PheniS, the address OF Mr.. Clay's friends in the
Legislature to the people of this State, and their
accompanying Electoral Ticket. In the seIec-
ton oithe latter, the friends ofMr. Clay, seem to
have been unfortunate in two respects First,
that there are some four or five FederaIists. a
mong the twenty four-and secondly, that seye-
raj OF the gentlemen designated, are known to be
hostile to MIR. Clay's claims to the Presidency.
We do not deem it necessary to designate thes @
individuals, as there is sort of chance for the
success of the ticket These gentlemen who
made it out, have evidently acted upon conciJia-
tory principles and we will not interrupt them in
their attainment of so laudable an object as har-
mony. We feel rather disposed to congratulate
the state on step, which will ensure full cleo
tons, vary in some degree, the electoral farce.
and exhibit an opportunity to the people of de-
clar1ng their real prefcrences-NIr CLAW is
weaker than Adams, Jackson, or Crawford in
Virginia, and is not likely to obtain the vote of
the State, even ifthe contingency happens which
is foreseen by many, that Virginia will ultimate
ly abandon Mr.. Crawford for some other of the
candidates.

for presenting, personally, his credentials of Min

On his entrance, the guards paid him the APP

great pleasure which he experienced in seeing,
Ia this capital, citizen so distinguished he i'm
medlately introduced him to many gentlemen OF
the High Court, Of the Senate, of the House oi

"Mr. PRESIDENT: The President of the
Uuited States, animated by an ardent wish to
continue the relations Of perfect harmony and
generous friendship between our respective
countries, has commanded me to give the most
satisfactory expression to the liberal feeling
which he, as well as the people of the United
States, must ever entertain towards the instItu-
tons Of freedom in every country. tender to
you his anxious wishes for the restoration of
peace to this Republic, and prosperity to its cti-
zens. My own admiration of the liberal ipstitu-
tons of Colombia, and of the glorious manner in
which they have been created and sustained,
affords the surest pledge of the sincerity of my
sentiments. Ifthis mission shall have the happy
effect of giving solidity and duration to the
harmonious feelings of our countrymen, it will
be source of unafectedjo to every friend Of

FOR THE WING,

/
Charlottesville public is appraised b the
late papers, of the appointment of Mini ed
wards Of Illinois, by the President, as Ambassa-
dor TO the Republic of Mexico, and that this
appointment has been ratified by the Senate.
Two circumstances attending this appoint
ment are worthy of remark and apprehension.
FIRST, that the President persists III iilins his
patronage from the representation iii Co:sress-
and, 2ndly. That the present object OF his re-
gard, is unworthy in every respect of the high
and honorable appointment he has had the eiron-
terry to aspire to, and the good fortune 10 re-
ceive.
First as to Mr.. Monroe; course in making
his seicctions-From the comm cuccinent OF h;
administration, lie has discovered an uniforms
preference Tor members of Congress- Inc
strongest indications of national Misrepresentation
as to this practice, have been exhibited uron
every recurrence of tit has been asserted
and proved TO be, wrong in prncple, and most
dangerous Ill practice-producing Il base SPAN
lei iawning, and Il plant sycophancy in the
Office hunters In Congress-Corruptng and poi
SEEMING the stream of legislation at its very
source. But our old gentleman with an obsti-
macy worthy only of himself has persisted in if
IN spite OF broad hints from the Senate. and
downright clamor on the part of the peonle.
| There are circumstances which Justify a seiec
ton from the floor of Congress-whe, atleorate
talents foran important Office, are no where else
to be found. The offices to which refer. are
important enough to justify there being filled
from Congress-but i'll the name Of (ied. and
the honor ofthe country, were 40 more fit Repre-
scntatives OF the greatness and reputation Of the
U. states abroad, 10 be found than Hugh Nell
son, Caesar Rodney, and Ninian Edwards!
| But, 2dly. MIR. Edwards: Is he honest, is he
capable: Aland speculator-shatp;,ig, ignorant
OF ali but his own interest, and the means of
promoting it, destitute of the manners, and for
what know, of the principles of gentleman,
he has absolutely no information but on the va.
lue of western lands, aud no merit but most
devoted and unqualified attachment to the uer
son OF James Monroe. 1t is shameful injury
to the interests and to the honour of Gus conn.
try, that such men arc appointed to the highest
stations administrations which are expected
to reflect the manner and principles OF this Re-
public TO the world. Let us how ever, console
ourselves with the reflection, that in less ihan
twelve months, James Monroe goes out of Office.
''by the consent of all, y and that his success
sor whoever Ire may be, will in Justice to his
own discernment, recall his tribe of Ambassa-
doris. Sweet successors they are, to our Gal
