WING NOMINATIONS FOR PREsT-
DENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

DENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
Il was announced in our paper Of last week
that HARRIson and TYLER received the nomi-
nation Of the Harrisburg Convention, as can
didstes for President and Vice President. We
understand that these nominations were accor-
ded under circumstances which authorize the
indulgence Of the most confding and sanguine
hopes of success The report was received
by the convention with great enthusiasm aud
go far as we have been able 10 learn the true
Democratic Wings throughout the union are
prepared TO sustain the nomination. 1t is true
that the personal preferences Of some of our
most distinguished Wings were in favor of
Henry Clay and Gen. Scott had, also, his
warm friends but now that the nomination
lie made, all are ready to yield their personal
predictions, and unite heart and hand in sup
port ofthe hero Of The west. In fact, some of
the warmest supporters of Clay and Scott,
who were members OF the Harrisburg Conven-
ton were the first to come forward and move
that the report of the committee nominating
Harrison, be unanimously adopted. Gen.
Combs and Gov. Meicalf of Kentucky, warm
personal and political friends of Mr. Clay, each
in powerful speech advocated the unanimous
nomination of Gen. Harrison. Gov. Metcalf
said in accepting the nomination of Harrison,
he was only stepping from the support Of one
old friend 10 another indeed, said he 81 can
hardly regret the nomination Of Gen. Harrison
for know Of no man in the whole United
States who has done so much for his country,
and been SO poorly requited."
The Nomination Of WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON for President Of the United
States meets our cordial APPRECIATION and will
receive our hearty support. Few men deserve
more at the hands OF their country than Gen.
Harrison and we think there is no one who is
more sure to rally in his support the honest,
right thinking, warm hearted yeomsnry OF The
country. He is son Of one OF the signers Of
our ever memorable DECLARATION OF fNDEPEN-
DEscE; and at an early age he entered the SER
vice of his country. When he was a mere
boy, we find him in the army Of the frontier at
aperiod when the murderous incursions Of the
Indians were laying waste over Western sell
Elements, and where he so commended himself
by his activity and valor, TO the affection of
Gen. Wayne, that he was selected by him as
his confidential Aid-de- Camp. AT the close
OF his early military career he was sent dele
gate 10 Congress from the North Western Ter
rltory, the appointed Gov. oflhe Territory and
re-appointed by the elder Adams Jefferson and
Madison then commander Of the North W es-
tern Army, Member Of Congress, Senator of
the United States, and Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary 10 Columbia finally, was a caudi-
date for President in 1886; and is again selec-
ted as the iaTorite of the people, and we trust
will be trumphantly elected to fill the high
est Office that we can hestow upon him.
In the several high and responsible stations
he has been called TO fill, he has ever uoby
discharged his duty to his country and he is
emlnently qualified for, as he truly merits, the
honorable distinction which the friends Of
liberty would confer upon him. Therefore let
US rally around the Democratic standard !;
around the truly Democratic candidate ;--le
every free man do his duty, and we will place
man in the Presidential chair who is worthy
10 fill it.
Mr. TYLER, Of Virginia, the candidate for
Vice President is also favorably known to the
people He has recently been prominent ac-
for in the councils Of the nation, and those of
his own state. He has filled with honor, the
office of Chief Magistrate Of his native state;
and he is every way qualified to discharge the
duties of the high station which he is invited
TO accept. With such andidates-candidate
who will carry out principles Of the Wings
principles of equal rights--we 60 into the field.
The struggle may be hard, for we have to con-
tend with those who are strongly entrenched,
and have thousands Of offce-holdng troops
scattered through the land. But the people
The oppressed people are on our side; they have
been borne down and oppressed for long
time but truth is mighty and must sooner
OF later prevail. The people are coming 10
the rescue. They could no, rally under more
populsr-under better men, We say again,
we give them our hearty and cordial support
