MovISo OF TIE WATERs.-On the BIS, day
Of May the Wings Of Ohio held State conven-
tion at Columbus, for the purpose Of expressing
their views respecting candidate for the next
Presidency--a National Conventional csndi-
date for Governor, &c. SC. The Convention
was by far the largest meeting ever held in that
State, and was composed Of members from al
most every county-of people, who, tired Of the
misrule Of the times, met together to compare
opinions and views, and unite themselves, har-
moniously, in the great and important business
Of endeavoring 10 drive from their ill used au-
thority, those who for nine years past have so
tniserabIy managed the business Of the Govern
ment.
The FIRST choice Of the Wings Of Ohio, as
made manifest by the Convention, for President,
is wrLiAAsf HEsRv HARRISON, but they pledge
their hearty and cordial support to HENRY CLAY,
or DANIEL WEBSTER, If the choice Of Nation
al Convention should fall upon either Of them.
For Governor, the Convention nominated the
well known, and we'll tried JOSEPH VANCE, the
present popular Governor Of the State. Re-
solution passed, deprecstng the course and
actions u the Ohio Senators, Messrs. Morris and
Allen, and requesting and instructing them to
resign forthwith, 10 the end that Ohio may
have its wishes represented in the Senate.
The ut most harmony and good will prevailed
throughout the sitting Of the Convention, and its
members left for their homes, when it adjourn
ned, with firmer and stronger determination
than ever, 10 exert themselves in rendering the
success Of the Wing candidates, and w big prin
cipIes, as sure as human labor and foresight can
possibly do This is the second meeting this
spring that has been held in once strong hold
Of Jacksonsm-New York being the firstly
the people, who have, in both instances, brea.
thed the same spirit of determined opposition to
Jackson Van Buren, doctrines and misrule, and
expressed the same spirit Of concession with re-
gard TO the nomination of Convention. The
signs are auspicious-the people are rising-the
blazing Signals of their organization, like the e
ry cross Of the Scottish bordcrers, will soou be
cleaning from thousand hills, carrying TO the
remotest corners Of the Union tho glad tidngs
that the people will call upon the " SUCCESSOR
nounce to him that he will best meet their wish
by following the " footsteps of his prede.
cessor" into the paths of private life.
Since the above was in type, we have received
the Columbus Journal and Register, containing a
full report of the proceedings, accompanied by
list Of the names of the deleg ates to the conven-
ton, as far as they wold be asccrtained by the
cretaries. The number Of delegates was various
ly estimated a, from three to six thousand but the
published list falls many hundreds short, as it
was found impossible to obtain the names of all
who were in attendance. 1t was emphatically a
and the director Of the democracy, was not TO be
found claiming to direct by his own voice the
will Of the mass and more important meeting
as respects the prospects Of the wings Throughout,
the country, has not been held for long time
Speaking Of it the Baltimore Chronicle re-
marks There Is no State in the Union, whose
voice upon the subject Of the next Presidency is
entitled 10 more Difference, than the State of O.
hio 1t has been the hope-we may say, the on
ly hope-of the administration party-that the
Wings Of that State might take such stand in
favor of their favoric candidate for the Presiden-
We rejoice 10 say that this apprehension can nc
longer be entertained. The Convention of the
Wings of that great State has declared in favor
of a NATIONAL CONVENTION, and regulates all
idea Of separate State action, and pledges the O.
lectoral vote Of Ohio, in behalf Of the nominee
Of the Convention, be he who no may. We
have the best reason for knowing, that General
HARRISON himself, advised aud approved this
course, and that be will second, as heartily as a
ny other voter in the Union, the choice of the
Convention, if it should fall upon another than
himself.
