Harrison Convention.
citing changed to lss Monday in
I July.
Fhe Harrison Corresponding Com
Zee for the County of Augusta, at
Earnest solicitation of friends in diff
bit parts of the State, have deter
led to change the time of holding
proposed State Convention, from
Fth Of June to the 4,h Of July.
b making this change the Commit
pave felt some hesilancy and en-
BASEMENT. The near approach Of
bay first designated for the assem-
of the Conven,ion--the posi-
Gy that members delegated 10 the
\ Eeniion might not have timely no.
of.he change-and the unfayour-
effects generally of such postpone
ts. were all considered by them.
] when they reflected that the time
1hich was, in the FIRST instance, but
t--had been fixed by themselves
lout consulting friends abroad, and
the reasons now urged upon them
change 10 a later day are not the
kestions of personal convenience,
arise from a deliberate considera.
Of what is demanded by the in
pts Of the great cause in which we
mutually engaged, the Committee
d perceive nothing in the circum'
ices which justified a refusal on
part. 1t has been represented to
that number of counties, which
heartily with US, owing 10 their re-
e situation and want Of frequent
communications, will not have
Fcient time, without a postpone
i. to organize and cleo. delegates I:
it is believed that in other coun.
parties have been rising, since the
gement here in favour Of Gen. Har-
!. 10, which, if time be allowed them,
also be represented. There is,
fsover, good ground to believe that
Egreat body OF those who consider
nsslyes committed to Judge White
Y unite with US, if we should so far
them as to offer an union ticket
h Electors. Farther time, therefore,
a proper understanding on this
/, is regarded as highly important.
Jar as the Committee are concern
they can perceive no well.founded
Fction to such an arrangement. Al
pgh Gen. Harrison is their first
Ice Of all the candidates in the
.4sidential canvass, they desire, su-
nely, the defeat Of Martin Van Bu-
land they are perfectly willing, as
are sure is the case with most Of
{ supporters of White and Harrison
Virginia, to act, SO far as they can
eistently with their preference, in
manner as will most efectually
la that object. An union ticket OF
Y ctors, the Committee are firmly
'tuaded, would secure that end be-
va the possibility Of a failure. Nor
lhey consider that they would bes-
\ their votes one whit less emphati-
u in favour OF their own candidate,
Ter such an arrangement, than by
"fparase ticket-because if General
Prison should obtain majority OF
Votes given 10 the union ticket Of
fEtors, the vote Of the State will Of
afse be his. Nor is there any thing
