The Presidency.

We noticed in our Extra of Monday last
that the deliberations of the Harrisburg Ma
tional Wing Convention had resulted in the
nomination of
Gen. William Henry Harrison.
We therefore place his name at the head
of our paper as the candidate for the Pres
idency, in opposition to MARTIN VAN Buren,.
We regret that Mr.. Clay was not nomina-
ted, but we go for MEASURES, not for MEN.
We wage an unconditional warfare with the
present ruling party, because their men are
corrupt and their measures impure. We
have thought differently from majority of
the Conyention-that the great Kentuckian
was the strongest man, but perhaps we have
been mistaken. We are sure that Clay
would have got votes that Harrison will not
get, for many democrats, so called, would
have supported him. But perhaps Harrison
may more than over-balIance this supposed
loss by bringing in strength that would not
have centered upon Mr.. Clay.
We are ready TO do battle for the Wings
in the cause of integrity, virtue and Patriot
ism; and determined we are, to do what
lies within the compass of our means to put
down this National Corruption which lies
in the way of our National and individual
prosperity. And although we regret to take
our leave of Mr.. Clay as our CHAMPION and
leader, yet duty as Wing seems to require
it, and we therefore spread our hannor 70"

Have those new fashioned democrat $,
who so ardently support Van Buren and Sub
Treasury, and so utterly denounced the whole
system of banking as dangerous to the Re
public and destructive of public morals" for
cotton that one of the most important pro-
visions of the Sub-Treasury doctrine, recon-
mended by Mr.. Van Buren, himself in late
Message, gives the President the right and
discretion of using the banks as dePoSitaries
of the public money or not, as he or (nomin-
ally the Secretary of the Treasury may
think proper?
We ask again:-how is it, that your party
being decidly opposed, as you say you are,
to the existence of banking institutions, that
your leader, Mr.. Van Buren,, wishes to use
banks when he thinks proper, to keep his
public money in; and that you are now boast
ing that in your efforts to ''divorce bank and
state" the party is sustaining the New York
banks, because Mr.. Collector Hoyt loaned
to two banks $500 900 of HIS public money
There is about the same agreement be-
tween your practise and your professions
that there are between the latter and the
principles of the Wings.

An Unfortunate Boast.

Some of the Administration papers are
even now actually Boosting that the Post
Notes of the Government are worth pre-
MUM in various parts of the country! This
is an admission of one of the most senoris
objections to the Sub-Treasury project. If
the paper of the Government is worth a
premium over the notes of specie paying
banks or over specie, in different parts Of the
Union, qobose is the premium? 1.-THE Govern
ment has succeeded thus far in gaining an
ascendency over the business and currency

Ger who is required to pay $1,000 for the
Government, pays, of course, no more or
less than that sum and receives an equivo-
lent of 81, O50 to pay it with, by receiving

premium.
There is no sophistry beneath the sun that
can gainsay this proposition. And it is "a
axiom equally certain, that all expense o.

money to pay for articles purchased or money
borrowed at a distance1 is paid by the PEG.

A letter from Harrisburg, Pa. says that the
