have pronounced him worthy ofiheir sup
port.
But il is not alone in the field that
General Harrison appears illustrious. -
1t is as the pupil and associate of such
men as Madison and Shelby and JEFF
ferson--It is as the minister To Columbia,
when in all the pride Of our glorious re
publican Institutions, he raised his voice
against the act of Bolivar which was
about to make him dictator, in taking
power from the people, and placing a
crown upon his head. Ii is in the gen
erous sacrifice Of himself to his country
IA sacrifice which has made him poor,
when otherwise he might have been rich.
1t is in his present noble position, where
he shines forth above reproach and dis
honor, by presenting himself true and
practical representative OF our free in
stitutions.
Such is the man, who is now before
the American people, candidate for
their sufrages. Unlike most men, he
has not sought the office, but the Office
has sought him. In his election, there
will be a triumph Of principle over men
the victory Of the Statesman, the pat
riot and the soldier, over the false art
ed man, who claims no higher merit than
that Of rendering service to one greater
than himselr.-N. Y. Express.

We take great pleasure in laying before
our readers the proceedings of the STATE
CONVENTION, which assembled at Provi-
dencc on the 9TH inst. las recommended by
the Convention Of this county, for the pur-
pose of nominating q ticket of ELECTORS of
President and Vice-President of the United
States, in opposition to Martin Van Buren,
and Richard M. Johnson. More than two
hundred delegates were present in their
seats from eighteen towns, comprising o
larger assemblage Of the intelligence, worth,
and respectability of the State, in the various
walks and business of life, than we ever re-
collect to have seen convened on any similar
occasion. The unanimity which pervaded
this assemblage, was equally gratifying. On
presenting the report of the Committee of
fifteen, to which the business of the Conven-
ton had been in the first place submitted,
Gov. ARNOLD remurked-that the Committee
were not only unanimous in recommending n
nomination of Electors, and in the individu-
ais to be nominated, but that they were equal
ly well agreed, in advising the Convention in
obedience to the wishes and expectations Of
their constituents, 10 proceed at once to the
nomination Of WIN. HENRY HARRISON,
Of Ohio, for the Presidency, and of FRAN
CHS GRANGER, of New York, for the Of
flee Of Vice-President. At the same time it
was believed to be due TO the eminent and
patriotic Statesman, who had at one time re-
ceivcd Legislative nomination at our han
and who was still the object Of our warmest
good wishes, no less than to the Convention
itself and to the Freemen Of tho State. thnt
the reasons for these proceedings should be
distinctly and unrescrvcdly stated. In this
view OF the subject the Convention very cor.
daily coneurred. Resolutions were accord.
ingly adopted with great unanmity, express
ing its views on these several impor,an, to-
pics, and directing an Address TO be prcpar-

which we hope to have the pleasure to lay

MARYLAND ERECT!

We Yesterday permitted the Van Buren,
folks TO have the result of the electoral cleo
ton all their own way; and we really thought
that they had caught the wings OF the state
nappng-but by the gratifying intelligence
received last night, it seems that the tables
have been turned on them; and that THE
WINGS ARE TRIUMPHANT! This Is
glorious news, and has saved our opponents
a deal of trouble in apportiOning the Offices.
The Van Buren party Of this city had q
grand procession, with banners, drums, &c.
last night in honor of their rictory! but this
morning we suspect they feel rather fiat Ii
was a terrible "slip twixt the cup and the
lip" and we know not how they will indem-
nifty themselves for their severe notification.
The following list shows the relative
strength of the parties in the electoral col
lege. The return from st. Mary's is not Of
fcial-nor have returns from all the districts
in Allegany been received-althOugh there
is not doubt of our success there.
Allegany, Montgomery, Prince George,
Calvert, Charles, st Marys, Kent, Talbot,
Dorchester, Somerset, and Worcestershire
en- counties have elected 81 Wing Electors.
Washington, Frederick, Montgomery, An
napols city, Anne Arundel, Baltimore city,

Anne, Carolinc-sight counties and two ci-
ties have elected 10 Van Buren, Electors

The College consists Of forty members.
In the Van Buren, procession last night,
they had large brush, with tub for suds,

The Convention then took recess
until six o'clock p. M.,when the Commit
tee having dcliberated upon the subjects
referred to them, made report, which
was unanimously accepted.
The following resolutions in contorm-
ty to the recommendation Of the report
Of the Committee, were then adopted by
the Convention, unanimously, viz:
Resolred, That this Convention, in
compliance with what they believe to be
the expectations and wishes of their con-
stituents, and of a great majority of the
people Of this State, do unanimously nomi-
nate WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON of Ohio,
for the office Of PRESIDENT ofthe United
States. And in making this nomination,
this Convention express their own high
sense Of that gentleman's republican vir-
tues, his distinguished public services,
his inte gritty land his devotion to the rights
Of the people.
Resolred, That the members Of this
Convention, and, they believe, the peo-
pie of this State, still feel all their strong
attachments to that distinguished states
man and patriot DANIEL WEBSTER: but
it having become apparent, that Cover
nor HARRIsoN is, and will be, the adopt
ed candidate Of great majorities Of the
people in many Of our sister States, a
proper Difference for the wishes and o.
pinions Of so preponderating a majority
of our fellow citizens, embarked with us
in the same great cause, requires that
we should not too tenaciously adhere to
our own first choice.
Resolrcd, That having the fullest con-
fidence in the talents, integrity land sound
political principles Of francis GRANGER,
of New York, this Convention do in like
manner recommend him to the frcemen
of this State, as n suitable candidate for
the office of Vice President Of the Uni
ted States.
Resolrcd, That SAMUEL w. KING OF
Johnston, BYRON DIMAN of Bristol,
GEORGE ENGs Of Newport, ,and WILLIAM
PEcKuAM of South Kingstown, bo and
they are hereby recommended 10 the
freemen Of this State as candidates for
Electors of President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States.
A Committee Of three was then ap-
pointed to prepare an Address to the peo-
pie Of this State, and cause the same to
be published under the signatures Of the
officers Of this Convention.
The Convention having completed the
business for which they convened, was
then adjourned sine die.

VERMoNT.--Tho returns from The
Green mountain State are Of the most
gratifying character. For the last six
years its hardy and patriotic yeomanry
have been distracted by triangular
warfare, between the Antimasons, the
Wings, and the Jacksonites, in which
the good men and true Of the first two
sections wasted their strength in most
Improbable contest for temporary as
cendancy-so that even the organizing
Of their State Government, or the cleo
tion Of delegation to Congress, became
n matter Of difficulty. This, most hap
PLY, is their situation no longer. A large
proportion Of the Aniimasons Of that
State, always actuated by pure and pat
riotic motives, saw the situation to which
they were reduCed-saw that there was
a deep and well concerted scheme a.
mong some Of their leaders and the well
known clan of the Advocate in Boston,
to make over the party, body and soul,
To the New York magician; and this they
were determined at AL events to prevent.
They came forward therefore with
manly and prompt offer Of cooperation
to the Wings, who met them in the
same frank spirit; and we have now the
result Of their united efforts. Van Rn-
renism, and the vcnal An,imasonry, which
follows submissivcly in its footsteps, will
find but poor quarters we suspect in the
Mountain State in November next when

which will be shipped down the Yazoo
