PROGRESS OF the NOMINATIONS
Every where the Harrisburg nominations
are received with reclamation among the OPP
position.
Old Fanuel H III has re- echoed with enthusiasm
the nominations at Harrisburg. great meeting
was held there on Friday evening, AT which hOOt'
c. WialArOp presided, and which was addressed by
Mr.. Sprague, Gen. Wilson, Of New Hampshire, and
several other gentlemen Resolutions were passed,
adopting, most cordially. Wm. III. Harrison and
John Tyler, as the candidates Of the Wings OF Mas
sachuselis
Meetings Of similar character have been
held in Poughkeepsie, in Kingston, Ulster
county, New York, in New York city, and
Philadelphia People in other towns and
cities are also moving.
Kentucky herself is in the field. The
Wing papers have hoisted the names Of HAIR
RIsoN and TYLER with perfect unanimity.
The electoral ticket is already chosen, and
we have no doubt that " the dark and bloody
ground" will render good account.
The Evening Advertiser, at Portland. Me-,
says:
We cheerfny place the nominations Of the Con-
venton al the head OF our columns--and whatever
may have been preferences, or those OF our po-
litical friends in this State, We believe that we ex-
press the feeling of the Wings Of Maine when we
say we heartily in the selection. Instead OF
further remarks of our own to-day We present our
leaders with extracts from such Wing papers as
have come 10 hand since the result at the final ac-
ton Of The Convention has been published.

PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.
The labors ofthe National Convention al Harris
burg, have been most propicusly consummated-
We do moi believe more judicious selection Of
names could have been made under the most auspi-
cieus circumstances We do not believe that, il the
people of The United States are tred-sick, worn
down and FRUSTRATED beneath the ruinous and cor
rupling policy and influences which have been SOW
ed broadcast and imposed without stint or mercy up
on them by Mr. Van Buren's party, and are looking,
as last resort for help TO transfer OF the admnis-
tratiln to other hands Than now WELD u ;-f this be
the true condition Of the people, we do not believe
that a transfer could be made to more honest, and
well disposed, and well qualified hands, than The
nominations thus made, propose.
Gen. HARRIsuN is a man Of years--of experience
of tried integrilyofiried abilityof oil Tried yalor
and patriotism The records OF our Republic bear
ample testimony Of all this. In the field and in The
halls of legisialion--as Executive Magistrate at
home, over territory that now constitutes many OF
the States of this Union and embraces population
OF millions, and national Representative abroad,
he has been tried abundan,y, and NEVER FOUND
WAITING in any orthe high qualities Of either Soldier
or Statesman
Can more be said-need more be said 10 commend
him 10 the ardent support OF men who are looking at
this crisis for such proceeding and such man as
will change country from its present depressed,
broken down, dispirited and impoverished ceffai.
lion Let the unieeling, corrnpting, iron bands Of
party be broken and let mems judgments and patri-
otic desires be unmanacled, until change in the
governmental policy Of the United States torards its
hall hava haap aA, afal 4
lry's good and not party, be the watchwordsof
the citizen, and the election of Gen HARRIsoN and
renovation ofhe interests and industry Of fellow
citizens will as surely follow that effect follows
cause in the natural world We sly TO our friends
and coadjutors cocRAGE-coURAGE-the light OF
bright era is rapidly breaking upon your hopes and
prospects One united effort to have the merits Of
yonr cause and your purposes understood and appre
ciated, will ensure you vIcroRY.
The nomination which the opposition party have
made of Mr.. Tyler, Of Virginia, is most happy
We thinK II will put scala capcat at least upon
the hopes of locofocoism in Virginia. He is man
Of whom all Virginia is Justly proud, and whom
Virginia has ever delighted TO honor We believe
that the following estimate ofhe strength Of parties
which we lake from a cotemporary, and made in
view OF the above nominations, TO be quite too favor
able 10 the admnistralion-mor favorable Than will
ever be realized, and consequently view the aggre-
gate Of votes Sc, down for certain to Gen. HAuRIsoN,
as falling much below the mark. But the field is
now cleared Of competition and of conflicting inte-
rests on the side fthe oppostionthe most cheerful
aud Teconciled feelings animate the whols-Mr.
Tallmadge and Mr.. Clay, as also Gen. Scott, have
periodically surrendered all private claims upon he
opposition altar, and we rejoice in the prospect
of the triumph that awaits the Of the combined
opposition of Wings and Conservative Republicans
upon the object Of eecling President and Vice
President who will change the present policy Of ad
minislering the Executive government.
The Richmond Wing says: @
The Harrisburg nominations go it with per-
feet looseness 10 use an expressive fash phrase)
East, North, and West, fhey are received with
most cordial welcome. Immense meetings of the
People have been held In Pennsylvania New York
and other States, al which the most enthusiastic and
encouraging resolutions were adopted. When the
intelligence reached Poughkeepsie, the fourishing
iule village where Senator Tallmadge resides,
meeting of tcelue hundred assembled uponthe instant,
and vowed the most Jealous and determined support
to the ticket Mr. Tallmadge addressed the meet
ing in the most animating strains In the interior
OF Pennsylvania, among the honest yeomanry, the
name of Harrison works like charm before which
party ties disappear and there is great rising Of
the People, in support OF the Hero and the Patriot.
In the great West, the signs warrant the confident
belief that the era of good feeling" is about 10 be
restored and that, save the Government Land
Agents and their Immediate dependents, there will
exist but ore party throughout that populous and
fourishing region.
The signs inspire greater confidence in the Wings
Of this section, than Wing hearts have known for
many years, II is evident, the People are rising,
and coming TO the rescue They are wearied OF the
wretched imbeclIily, the prodigality and corrup.
lion OF the present rulers. They are shocked and
alarmed by the monsrous effort now making by the
Federal Executive to obtain the ascendancy in the
National Legislature, by DISTINGUISHING one of the
Sovereign members Of the Confederacy. There is
union, perfect and complete pervading every branch
Of the great Opposition Party of the country. The
Wings now move in solid and unbroken column
Every effort of every member, directed to common
end will tell towards the attainment Of the grand re-
suit. This union will beget zeal and inspire conf
dence; and the faction in possession of the Govern
men will be Frustrated BY an abused and Indignant
People.
