The following is all extract from u let
ter of Mr.. Langdon, Senior Editor of the
Advertiser and Chronicle, Mobile, and a
member of the Legislature, 10 that paper,
giving all account uf the effects Of the
Harrisburg nomination upon the Wings of
the Alabama Legislature:
Ibelieve stated in former letter, that
the Wing members of the Legislature had
passed resolutions, recommending Whig
State Convention. have now TO inform
you, that an adjourned meeting this eve
ming, those resolutions have been rescind-
ed This step met with my disapproba'
ton, but as there was difference Of oPin-
ion on The subject, perhaps, it is better to
postpone it for the present. The disap-
pointment of the Wings at the nomination
of General Harrison, has been the cause
of this proceeding.
Well: but nothing more than we had a
right to expect from citizens having the
least regard for Alabama's interests, prin-
ciples and consistency; nay, having but
one drop of Southern blood in their veins.

THE HARRISON CONVE.jTIGN.
We'll, the agony is over, and Henry
Clay is-laid upon the shelf. And no man
of ordinary intelligence can doubt or deny
that it is the Anii-Slavery feeling OF the
North which has done it.; in connection
with his own ostcnta,ious and Infamous
demonstrations in Congress-
Praise to God for great Anti-Slavery vic
tory. A man Of high talents, Of great dis
tinction, of long political services. Of
boundless personal popularity, has been
openly rejected for the Presidency of this
republic, On account of his devotion to
slavery. Set up n monument Of progress
there. Let the winds tell the tale. Let
the shareholders hear the nrws. Let for
eign nations hear it. Let O'Connell hear
it. Let The slaves hear it. A Shareholder
is incapacitalcd for the Presidency of the
United States The reig of sIavocracy
is fastening 10 close. The rejection Of
Henry Clay by the Wing convention, la.
ken in connection with all the circumstan-
ccs, is one Of the heaviest blows the mon
ster slavery has received iu this country.

NOMINATION OF GENERAL HARRIsnN.-
The National Whig Convention, assem-
blcd at Harrisburg on the 9th inst. norni-
mated William Henry Harrison for the
Office Of President Of the United States.
On the first and second ballot, the vote
stood for Henry Clay, l03, for Harrison,
81, for Winfield Scott, Al. On the third
ballot, the vote was for Harrison, 14S;
for Clay. 80; for Scott. I6. All the slave
States went for Clay. We regard this as
another important sign of the limes,-as a
signal defeat of the slavchodiag power in
this country. Had it not been for Aboli-
tionism, Henry Clay would undoubtedly
have been nominated. We have faith to
believe, that no STAKEHOLDER will ever arain
