HARRISON IN OHIO.


The WINGS Of Ross county, Ohio, recent
" held public meeting, at which the iul-
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed i; il shows the feelings OF the West-and
we are glad TO notice the expression al the
present time. Let the predileciion of every
part Of the union be known. There is no
single interest notD To be advocated or formed
no single measures in which a state or a
section OF the union may he supposed tn have
a particular iniereSi-the wants and desires
| ot the people are the same; they need IA res
toraiion of the political aud financial affairs
OF the nation 10 their former standing; they
! require able II Ell at Washington 10 manage
public affairs; they require Ia have the BUSH
ness OF electioneering left with the people
and as this feeling aud these actions com.
mon 10 all, il seems not di fficult to arrange
the mode OF acquiring these benefits at a pro
per time, and under proper circumstances
But no attempt at coercion or nj in,imid,tng
Will succeed no State must nail her flag I'm
I'll the flag is agreed on and the signal is
given. The work to be done is the coun.
try's, II is not Ia please a party favori,e or
reward public bene factor-we must selec;
goud man, who can unite the greatest nun
her of votes, who " i'll he generally unexcep-
tionahie TO all aud who being elected, will
so administer public affairs as to lead hack

"lutIons; here they are, however, and our
readers would do well 10 give them candid
perusal

Tor The last fifty years, by their deeds of glo-
ry and renown, in the councils and in The
field added new lustre la the American name
none IS moro conspicuous than that OF W.

dence-nOt 10 wealth, tor he is not rich-noI

the British army surrendered To him To

application of iranscendent abilities in The
cause OF his country, in peace and in war
10 an eioquence not taught in the schools--to
wisdom, PRACTICAL and comprehend, e--to
moderation in council, equalled only by his
hrmness and vigor in the feld--he inherits
from the sires OF the revolution, "A steady, un>
deviating and enlightened devotion To the
Constitution in its purity, and to the rights
and interests Of the whole country.
Resolred, That although the claims OF Gen
WIN. a.. HARRISON to the confidence and
gratitude Of the American People seem 10
have rested i"r twenty years in allegiance,
y
first place in their affections as well as the
brightest page in their history. And we feel
assured, that in calling the attention of The
nation 10 him as a fit candidate for our suf-
frages at the next Presidential electioa - e
are doing nothing more than echoing the call
OF millions OF ireemen sincerely believing
that by his election IN the Presidency we
should afford at once proof and pledge 10 The
country and to the world, that the dominion
nf arbitrary, Unconstitutional and irrespOnsi-
BILE power amongst us was al an end, thai the
reign OF Law and sound Democratic princi.
plies was at last triumphant, and that the
American People, mol to be seduced by the
Establishments of power, the love Of office. or
the golden humbug, are sound to the core in
Their devotion 10 constitutional liberty
Rssolred, That we hold il right, morally
| and politically, and al this particular coniunc-
ture absolutely necessary, that The People
IN their primary assemblies should declare
their preference for the distinguished STATES
man, patriot and soldier of the West A
man, who is moi only light and ornament,

ReSolved, That in thus expressing our
decided preference in the existing state of
things for Gen. WILLIAM Henry fIARRI

ourselves from our political friends here or

termination 10 abide the result of National
