GEN HARRISON.
The Prospect in Pennsylvania. -Great County
Meetings have been held in almost every section
of Pennsylvania, with the object of responding to
the Harrisburg Nominations. We day or two
since conversed with distinguished gentleman
from Erie. lie described the enthusiasm of the
yeonanry ofthe interior, as very similar to that
which was felt and expressed when Gen. Jackson
was at the zenith of his popularity. Our advises
generally ure ofthe most encouraging character in
relation to the political prospects oithe Keystone
State. 1t should be remembered that at the last
contest, the Hero ofthe Thames lost the eecio-
rial vote of Pennsylvania chiefly in consequence
of Two causes, which will not again exist, namely,
the signal and Unprecedented overthrow of the
Wing party at the October election, and the belief
consequent TO that overthrow, that effect on the
part oflhe opposition could rescue the State from
the Administration. The result, however, sur
prised all parties, and exhibited the popularity of
Gen. Harrison in an aspect of the most gratifying
character.
lie now enters the campaign under auspices
highly favourable, nominated by one of the most
imposing Conventions That ever assembled on any
occasion in this country, and with the elements Of
the Opposition thoroughly and cordially uni
ted We say 10 our friends at distance, there

Buren's majority ut the last Presidential contest
was little more than 1000 votes. Then, we had
Just experienced signal defeat and the opposition
went into the conflict with scarce the shadow of
n hope. How different the aspect of affairs now !
The opposition are thoroughly united - they have
hut single candidate in the field aud they are
confident of the victory. Surely, these changes
for the better will effect change in the popular
vote of Pennsy lvania, adequate TO neutralizc the
lneagre majority of 1886, and give the electoral
vote of the State in triumph to the "lleIo of the
Thames.' Such at all event are the impressions
OF cool and intelligent observers, impressions that
have been formed since the adjournment of the
National Convention, and under the influence of
the various responses of the people, as made in
their City, District, Township, and County Nee
tngs. We again aver, therefore, that there is eve
nv reason Tor hope and confidence us relates to
Pennsylvania.
Virginia. The Wings of the Old Dninon are
taking the field in earnest. They are moving with
union, harmony and energy, throughout all her
borders. The Richmond Wing gives an account
of meeting of the Wing Members ofthe Legisa-
ture held on the 9Th inst, in that city.
Resolutions were adopted urging upon the OPP
ponents Of the Administration speedy and thor.
ough organization for the great contest next fall
1t was recommended that convention he held
r. in Richmond on the Oath of February TO nominate
ELECTORAL ticket. r. w. Gilmer, Speaker OF
the House, presided at the meeting, and there were
sixty three members present i'll person and two by
proxy; besides several members were detained by
ndsposition, and others were absent from the city
There Was but one feeling pervading all present
enthusiasm in the cause they espoused, and con
fdence in its success.
OF Gen. Harrison, the resolutions speak as an
sold public servant, distinguished alike as a citizen
and soldier, in the service of the country" and
of his principles and his character they say:
e are satisfied, by the high moral character
and unspotted integrity of Gen. Harrison as evn.
ced through long life of public SERVICE that, should
he he elected, he will administer the Government
MS the President of the nation, and not as the chic
of n party"
The spri, OF Virginia cannot be mistaken. Al
no time since The election of Gen. Jackson has the
same activity and etcrminaton been evinced b,
the opponents of the Administration, and all being
now tremendously united, they will yet redeem
the State.
Indiana The Harrison flag waves triumphant
ly in the land of the gallant Hoosiers. The fol
lowing is extracted from n letter, from Indanapo
lis, dated Jan. 9:
"On yesterday we had n meeting for the pur
pose of appointing delegates, to attend our Stat,
Convention, TO be held at this place on the 16tl
