PENNSYLVANIA.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the Philadelphia
Commercial Herald says Twothrds OF least, OF the
Antnasonic Convent are individually in favour OF
Mr.. Webster for the Presidency" 1t would not, per-
ents AS to the Wings of Pcnnsy lvnna, it can scarcely
be doubted that Mr.. Webster is the first choice ola large
majority Of that respectable and numerous body And
yet General Harrison has been nominated by lwo-thirds
oil the Antmasonic Convention! We may hope to sec in
print the protest Of til. distinguished members who Sc
coded. As we have acknowledged allegiance 10
party, hold ourselves free to refuse contest any
mnution which cannot admit to he proper. ~
The nomination of Judge White by the Wings so
called Of Virginia, altogether sectional and personal
General HARRISON has been preferred al Harrisburg from
supposon that he s chiefly popular in Pennsylvania
and two or three States Of the West. When we have
space for the purpose, shall venture to enquire how
far these grounds the present cases. adequate and
suitable whether to principle policy for the citizens
of the Unlon--thc lch0ic american Republic.
The Harrisburg Conventions have not, think, done
Justice TO the people of this Stale in assuming that more
be achieved with the Of Harrison than that OF
Webster An intelligent correspondent, in city, ia
nar with the opinions Of all classes, expresses himself
thus From seven hundred thousand Wing votes
in Philadelphia City alone, consequently lost The
Quakers, TO n man. will vote for Van Buren, in the alb
sencc of Mr.. Webster" multitude Of Wing votes will
be lost in like manner throughout our Commonwealth
1t is not probable that single electoral vote will be
given to General Harrison either North
South If the Potomac. Believing from all have
seen, read and heard that the General is absolutely
fit for the office of President and cannot be carried
that he is neither pToduciblc nor avaaLr-we shall
continue to protest often and earnestly it may
pear cxpedient to do so from public motives-Nut Ga=
