FOR PRESIDENT.
Gen. VIM. Henry Harrison,
or OIIIn.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
John Tyler, OF VIRGINIA.

This is the ticket presented to the Wing
party by the National Convention, and we
deem it hardly necessary Tor us to say that
we glory in its support. We have Tough,
under the same banner before.--If not the first,
we were at least the second editor in the u
Mon, who espouscd the cause of the illustri-
GUS HARRIsoN on former occasion. The
consideration which induced us to this course
then, was an abiding conviction that there
was no hope of rcscuing the country from
the Party in power, but by calling from the
shades of retirement, man whose past ser
vices entitled him to the veneration and graf
itudc, as we'll as confidence of his country
mon, against whom the prejudices of party
had not been SO industriously disseminated, as
they had been against the distinguished in
dividuals then acting with US. In casting a.
bout for such man, our eye soon rested on
Gen. HARRIsoN, and the more we looked in
TO his public life--the more we scanned his
character and gualifications-the more salts
fled we were of the propriety ofhis selection,
and the more enthusiastic we became in his
with every citizen, interested, like ourselves,
only in the good Administration of the Gov
ernment-and hence the earncstness and zeal
with which we pressed his claims on the
attention of our fellow-citizens. We did
not believe there was a single individual,
who could fairly weigh his pretensions with
those of MIR. Van Buren,, and not give him the
preference. The time, however, proved then
too short to bring the public mind to a full
consideration of his merits, embarrassed as it
was by the cntanglemcnts of party, and pre-
vionsly conceived preferences. But now the
name Of HARRISON is presented under diff
ferent auspices, and we have the fullest con-
hdence in the triumph of our cause at the
next clection-which is emphatically the
cause ofthe People, and ofgood Government.
We are truly rejoiced at the selection which
has been made by the Convcnton-not that
we love Mr.. Clay less, but because we love
our Country more, and are satisfied that Gen.
HARRISON presents the most certain prospect
ofrescuing the Government from the hands of
the present corrupt dynasty, who, grown bold
from long IMMUNITY, are openly using its
treasures and its honors to strengthen them
against the correcting power of the People.

~ The Lexington Star, in noticing the
nomination of John Y. Mason for the Senate

mocratic members Of the Legislature, to the
exclusion Gifts favorte, Mr.. Mcdowell, rives
the following ludicrous exhibition of the lib

to It's view, governs the party in its selections

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE Els.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6

Mr.. CRAIG, Of Va, observed that in all
the questions which came Up gentlemen
would perpctualiy meet the sdIne difficulty.
BRING the question TO what form they might
still II had to be decided who must vote upon
It. Gentlemen said that, when the merits of
the election came up, they would be prcpar-
ed to meet the question. But WHY could il
not as well be met now1 Why could not the
actual state of the polls as well be ascertain
ed before the organization of the House as
afterwards The gentleman from New Jcr-
sey (Mr. RANDcLPH) seemed to think that
MIR. Z. had drawn his notions touching the
New Jersey election from a certain bluc-cov-
cred pamphlet with which the gentleman
seemed to be very familiar. Perhaps it
might be so. Howeverit was, Mr.. G. hap
pened to think that the contestors of nc New
Jersey seats mad better right to then than
the gentlemen who held the Governors GER
tificates, and that the Constitution crave to
him and to the House the right to decide that
question now as well as hereafter; and Mr..
Z. for one, was prepared to march up to the
work.
Mr.. WISE, of Virginia, said that if his
colleague Mr.. CRAIG) was indeed prepared
to decide the question who had the majority
OF votes in the New Jersey election now, he
must be one OF the most powerful and extra
ordinary Judges that ever adorned the bench
In any country. He would take the liberty of
asking his colleague what evidence he was in
possession of on which to decide so weiobty
aquestion!
Mr.: Craig here intcrposed to explain.
lie had only meant to say that he was as rea-
dy. to hear evidence in the cause now as he
should be hereafter
Mr.. WISE said that he had understood the
gentleman as aveTring that he was now ready
to march up to the work and decide INC ques.
ton.
Mr.. CRAIG again observed, that though
he had said he was ready to march up to the
work, he had meant the work, first hearing
the evidence, and then deciding on il
MIR. WISE inquired whether his colleague
was informed Of the presence Of any evidence
touching the merits of this election. Mr.. w.
had only heard as yet about the pyina facie
evidence on which seats were 70 be taken.
and he believed that nobody pretended that
any evidence was in existence - show fraud
In the credentials which had been produced.
lie appealed to his colleague, and ne did it
IN good spirit in the spirit Of brotherhood
and kindness, whether this was acting the
part Of Judge. Would his colleague pre-
tend that he was in condition 10 pass OF
this question before he had taken the oath of
Office No. Neither that gentleman nor
himself were to be intrustcd with the decis-
Ion OF SO momentous question tai they had
given that pledge which the Constitution re-
CURED at their hands. If, on the exhibition
OF mere prfma }acte evidence, his colleague
was prepared to give judgment as TO the ui:i-
mate merits of the cause. he could do far more
than Mr.. w. could pretend to.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

On the frstpage of this paper will be found
the final proceedings of the National Conven-
ton. 1t will be seen that the best spirit pre-
vailed throughout its deliberations. The
closing scene, especially, was one of most
exciting interest. Briefly and imperfectly as
1t is slletched, it must thrill the country from
one extremity to the other, and enkindle and
diiiusc similar feeling ofharmony and patri-
otto enthusiasm among the entire oppt s.tion.

ter--,o which general assent was given by
the members. He then moved that the mem.
bers having the regular certificate of election
be allowed to take their seats, on which the
previous question was called, and the vote be-
ing taken by ayes and noes, stood III to III
Ia ne.) There were only two absentees, and
both ofthem are Whigs-Mr. Kempshall of
n. lork, and MIR. Halves, who although in
the city was too i'll to acknowledgements the
New Jersey members would have been adj
mitted. Mr.. Smith, of Maine, Gan Admins
tratlon member!) then moved to proceed to
the election of Speaker. Mr.. Wise rose
and exclaimcd-'Is this carrying out the
fairness of my proposition 90 MIR. Bynum,
(another Administration member y moved the
previous question-and the remainder of the
day was spent in debate and in various mo-
tions for adjournment, &c. The Administra-
ton party were evidently indisposcd to make
motion for the admission to seats of the con-
testing members from New Jersey-and why,
II the regularly certified members were not
entitled to seats
The probability is that Speaker was cleo
ted on Saturday and the House organized
and so bends one of the most disgraceful scenes
which has ever been enacted by delibera-
i've body In our country. The outrage COM
united upon the State fNew Jersey, in depriv-
ing her members of their seats, is without a
parallel, and must produce strong sensa-
