next.-It is time that the Young Men, Of
the Party, in this county, should turn their
attention TO this matter ; and, for that pur-
pose, it has been deemed advisable, and

Onward, onward, onward. roll The waves Of po-
pular sentiment in favor Of he Whig candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency. IL 10 truly
astonishing to sec with what Immunity and enlhu-
siasm, HARnIsos and TrLgR are taken up by the
people. Not only has tho nomination of these gen
ilemen received the cordial ard undivided support
cftho Wings, from tbs ST. Lawrence to the Sabine,
but it has added hundreds to our ranks from the
opposite party-hundreds, sho wanted but the no.
mination Of such au one a. Gen. Harrison, as n
signal for disuniting themselves from u party TO
which they found themselves attached, in opposition
10 the dictates Of their better Judgment. We vel
come them to the ranks Of tho Wing army and we
look with pleasure upon the spectacle of moral cou-
rage exhibited by them, in thus boldly coming forth,
and declaring that they will have no lot nor part
In the doings of their former coadjutors. We are
aware of the espionage which is exercised over oil

And this spirit of independence Pervades almost
every section of The country but especially is ii ex-
hibited Ii in tho west, where Gen. HARRIsoS is best
known, and where hi. civic and military talents
have been displayed with so much glory and re-
nown. Nor are these changes confined to the frank
and flo" Of the Van Buren, party Men who acted
a prominent par in Tho elevation OF Gen. Jackson,
and who aided in the election Of Mr.. Van Buren,,
have expressed, uneqHivocally, their determination
10 support the war-worn Veteran and well-tried Pa
trio,. The Wing State Convention which Assem-
blsd a, Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday last, may be
taken as an exemplar Of The state Of feeling through
out the wcs,-Hhere, it ia calculated that about
so, 900 Delegates would be in attendance. A let.
ter from Ohio, say.: " As to political prospects IN
Ohio, it is impossible for me adequately 10 describe
the enthusiasm with which the nomination Of our
own beloved HAREIsoS has been received. Never
have | Witnessed before any thing like IT, 1t has
slready rent asunder, in many parts Of the State,
every party shackle, obIiterated every party line,
and absorbed every patty prejudice, in one cou.-
mon, generous, and patriotic devotion TO the early
defender of their infant sentlements-to the founder
Of their nstiluiions-to tie author of the snbdivis-
ion of the public !auds-to the pioneer and politi-
cal father of the Wesl-to tho incorruptible Iublic

Masses of the V. Buren, party are wheeling around,
and rallying beneath the broad banner Of the Old
Hero; and the battle cry of Harrison and Tyler
rings with loud acclaim throughout ali the broad
borders of the wide.spreading West No
thing can arrest the mighty revolution to be ACHE
we'd and you and your friends can put down Ohio
safe for is, 900. l should not be Surprised at 3d.

them, which betokens no good to the imbeeile and
corrupt rulers at Washington. The life and char
