THE NOMINATION.

We give place to a full report Of the pro-
ceed,ngs Of the Harrisburg Convention, be-
lieving that they will be looked to with greater
interest than any thing we can at present lay
before our readers.
The nomination, il will be perceived, uti-
mately and unanimously fell to
Gen. VIM. HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
President, and
Gov. JOHN TYLER, Of Virginia, for Vice
President.
If Gen. Harrison can carry Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky, he ,ciH be
elected
The whole number Of electoral votes in the
Union, is 294. The States above mentioned
give lG7-a majority Of 40.
The great topic Of conversation yesterday
was the nomination of the Convention. So
far as we could Judge from conservation with
members of the opposition, the name of the
Hero of Tippecanoe will be responded to
with cordially and enthusiasm. OF course
all sorts Of speculations and calculations were
made but the almost universal result Of them
was that, the glorious old patriot would be
triumphantly elected.
Gen. Harrison was &C years old, the 9th of
February last, and we shsll endeavor to un-
dertake concise review Of his eventtul life
in our next paper.

CONGRESS-.

The House is still kept in a state of disor-
ganizaiion by the party in power. DIR. Dun
can having the floor yesterday morning, and a
question Of order being made whether he
could proceed in reading voluminous docu.
ments to tho House. the Chair decided he
was out Of order, from which an appeal was
taken, and decided, after debate, that DIR.
Duncan should be permitted TO read his pa
pers to the House. In the course Of the de-
bate, we were pleased to observe Messrs.
CoLouIr, NEsBtT, BLACK, and CoopER, of
Georgia, taking the high and firm ground Of
State Rights in favor of the legally
members from New Jersey. Although they
might agree with the administration party in
advocating the Sub Treasury, yet they could
not join them, or cooperate with them in
a crusade against the rights Of Sovereign
State. This was noble conduct--such as
might be expected from hish-minded, honest
and consistent State Rights men. New

The news Of the suspension Of specie
payments by the Banks of the U. S., pro-
duccd deep sensation in England and
France. The Tory papers of London, were
vehement in their denunciations Of the A.
mericans 1t seemed to be, according to
some writers, the universal opinion in Paris,
that American credit was absolutely gone for
time throughout France. The evils brought
upon the U. S are generally attributed to the
"war unhappily waged" for the last few
years by the American Executive against the
credit system.
