HARRISBURG CONVENTION

The dye IS cast, the deed is done William
Henry Harrison has been nominated by the wing
convention, recently held at Harrisburg, Penn,
as the why candidate for the Presidency, in op-
position 10 Marin Van Buren,. This movement
Of the Wing party seals their fate in the south.
Harrison will not get The vote Of single slave.
holding State, except Kentucky, and even that is
doubtful. He will be beaten in this State from
five to ten thousand votes. In Alabama, Ten.
ncssce, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina,
ond Virginia, we believe the majority against him
will he still greater. In Missouri, Arkansas, and
Louisiana, he will stand 10 chance. Maryland
VIII go against bun, und probably Delaware.
Pennsyl"oni, will nnt vote for him neither " III
New York, New Hampshire, Maine or Illinois.
We don't believe that either Ohio or Indiana will
vote for HIM, and We think i, extremely doubtful
whether Massachusetts,, Connecticut and Rhode
Island vii, The only States tina, are absolutely
certain for him, are Vermont aud Mchiran: and
even these, some think doubtful. Yet Harrison
Is absolutely and PROFESSIONALLY the strongest
man that the wings could have brought into the
field. AT the south, il is true, he is not so strong
as Clay, but at the north and north west he will
get the entire abolition and anti.masonic vote.
which Clay could not do, and this consideration,
no doubt, induced the Convection to nominate
HIM IN preference to Clay. The nomination
don't take with the wings here, Notwithstanding
their organ, the Argus, has hoised the Harrison
flag II IS dropping banner, upheld only by
aoohtlonats, onIl-masons, and mongIe breed

most complete defeat ever recorded in the an
