OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence in Jefferson county,
on the 7th inst, WILLIS McDONALD,
Esq, aged eighty years.
The deceased was soldier of the Revo-
Misunderstanding entered the service of his
native State (Sou,h Carolina) at the age of
sixteen. He served under Gen. Moultrie
at the siege Of Charleston-was taken prIs-
oner by the British-released on parole
and, at the end Of two years, exchanged.
He afterwards served under Gen. Marion
until the close of the war-was present at
the battles of Eutaw Springs, and of Bacon's
Bridge, and variety of other engagements
with the British, Indians, and Tories.
Up to the time of his death, Mr.. Nc
Donald enjoyed almost uninterrupted good
health, and at eighty years of age, was kill
ed by the fright and fall of horse, which
younger men would, perhaps, have hesitated
to mount
Tie deceased had been resident Of this
county for thirty nine years--and has left a
widow TO whom he was married fiity-seyen
years ago. His children, grand and great
grand children, number seventy mine.
Through life, Mr.. Mcdonald maintained
the character of good citizen and an
honest man. He was deyotedly attached to
the principles for which in his youth he con-
tended, while battling IN defence of his ma
tive soil-and never failed to take a lively
but temperate interest in the administration
of the government and the selection of pub
lie servants.
For fifty five years the deceased had been
an exemplary member of the Baptist church;
and, although his departure was sudden, we
have every assurance, from the character
which he maintained as Christian, and
from his uniform declaration, that he was
sever readyn to obey the summons Of his
Great Commander, that for him, the ssdark
valley" and its shadows hid no terrors.

HARRISON IN MICHIGAN !.

The Detroit Advertiser says:-We can
issue our friends abroad, that the nomination
of General Harrison is received with the
most cheering enthusiasm by the Wings OF
Michigan. They deem him the man; and
Notwithstanding the slightest personal pref
erences which may have existed here, rs
elsewhere, there is not a single Wing in the
State who will not give his hearty support.
The electoral vote of Michigon is secure for
the hero of the Thames. The expression
Of doubt of this, by The Wings Of any other
State will be deemed an insult. We have
many of the brave men among us who fought
with Harrison as well at Tippecanoe rs al
the Thames. They again embrace Harri-
son as their leader ind they will fight with
equal success.

froma member of Congress ono of the
most ssgacious politicians ii Virginia. We
have never yet known his predictions of the
popular sentiment of the State to prove ,lu-
true; and from the intelligence which daily
greets US from ali quarters, we are assured
that he will again prove q. prophet Of truth:
WAsnlNoToN, Feb. ], 1910.
"If Lam not grossly deceived, the Signs
ofthe times indicate that General Harrison
will not only be very formidable but a
successful competitor of Mr.. Van Buren, for
the Presidency. The fact that he has done
so much service in the field, and inthe coun-
Gil, and held so many responsible places Of
trust, without the slightest imputation upon
his integrity, will recommend him worry
strongly to the people, and carry many OF
the purest and most patriotic of our citizens
to his support. Your ncighbor, Mr.. Richie,
may hutter and founder like duck ia q
mud puddle. He may talk of his ten thou
sand majority, and affect the most perfect
confidence, but am perfectly satisfied Vir-
ginia is lost to Mr. Van Burcn. She cannot,
consistently with her principles, sustain the
latitudinous and monarchical measures Of
this administration, and bind herself to the
car of Executive power forever. Mark my
prediction-Van Buren, cannot get the cleo
toral vote Of Virginia."

HARRISON IN ALABAMA.

One ofthe most respectable political meet
ings ever held in Tuscaloosa, was held ia
that place on the 18th January. ssNever
before, !" says the Wing, shave we seen the
same ardent spirit actuate our political
friends. From the staunch old Republican
in the chair to the veriest STRIPPING in the
crowd, but one sentiment prevailed-hostil-
ity, deadly and Incorporating hostility, to
the principles and practice Of the present
administration-and firm resolve to use
every honorable means 10 secure the triumph
of the venerable hero and statesman-WIL-
LIAM III. HARRISON.

The Wing meeting in Mobile on the 22d

Langsdon and Maj. Mayrant, delivered adj
dresses upon the occasion. There is to be
a State Convention at Tuscaloosa in June.
The Wings of The State seem 10 be ANNA
ted with a probable determination to do or
die at the presidential election.
The enthusiasm of the great west for Har.
rison, is increasing daily We learn from a
private letter, that %, 900 copies Of Judge
Burnet's speech have been circulated among
the people. They do business with a big

WING CONVENTION In MAINE .
Speaking Of the Convention held At York
on the 18th ult. the Kcnnsbunk Gazette
says:
Notwithstanding the badness Of the trav.
cling, twenty two out Of the twenty five
towns Ia the county we're Represented. and
some of them by very large delegations.
The several towns did indeed send ssstrong
delegations items, twenties and .fltigs. q a
better spirit never animated pubic meet
Eing-its proceedings were characferized by
perfect unanimity. Every member Of the
Convention seemed to be fully awaresthat 9
thorough reform is needed IN the administers
ton of our National and State Governments,
and to be deeply impressed with the import
ancc of setting about the work in sober
earnest-to feel proud of the principles he
had embraced. and TO be determined to
buckle on his armor and to labor zealously
and nnweariedly for the ascendency Of those
principles. sOur Country, It's Constitution,
Laws and Institutions were the watch
words Of the day."

All parties in Indiana acknowledge that
General Harrison will carry that State by a
tremendous majority. Loco-focoism stands
aghast, utterly dismayed and COMPOUNDED, at
the popular enthusiasm in favor OF the old
patriot. The clog cabinsn will pour forth a
swarm of hard listed votes in November,
which will cause a trembling among the Of

THE HERO OF TIPPECANOE.
With the proudest feelings of American
citizens, we lay before our readers a copi-
Gus and animated sketch of the life and cha
racter of the neat President of tho United
States. We say nert Prcsident-for, with
the feelings now abroad through the whole
country, we hold the election of Gen. VIM.
Henry Harrison to be just about as certain
an event as that the time of holding the
election will come. The evidence to sus-
tain this opinion, flowing in upon us from
every quarter, is Irresistible. And yet, with
the folly of the ostrich, which, by thrusting
its head in the sand, i,nagines, because It
can see nothing, it is unseen, the leading
administration papers are yet affecting to
despise the strength of Harrison; and, as
though blind and deaf to all the evidences Of
popular viii! around them, still talk Of the
reelection of Mr.. Van Buren,. The Rich
mond Enquirer the other day claimed New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois for
Van Buren,. Ia sober earnest, Mr.. Richie,
do not deceive yourself thus. Your friends
may bet, and they will be ruined. N. York
will go for Harrison by fifteen Thousand.
Mark that, Mr.. Richie. OHIO will go for
him by fifteen thousand. Mark that. Illi-
nois by .Jfre, and Indiana by ten thousand.
Set down these, Mr.. Richie. Aye, and set
down upon the same side half a score of 9TH
er States, which will aid to elect him by a
triumphant majority. And is he not worthy
