TION AT LANCASTER,
On The 18Th Of September.

In the sSExaminer S Heraldo of "Wednesday
last, We stated that it was determined to hold a
Harrison Convention in this city on the 18th of
September, next. Since then, the Committee of
Arrangement appointed by the Harrison Club of
this city, and the State Committee have agreed
| to hold the Convention on FRIDAY, the 18th of
SEPTEMBER, that being the most suitable
day. We subioin the Circular issued by the
Committee appointed by the Club:
TO THE FRIENDS OF HARRISON AND
TYLER IN LANCASTER COUNTY.
FELLow-CITIzENs: At a meeting of the friends
Of HARRISON and TYLER, held at the pub
lie house of F. bern, on the evening of the 9th
INST. the undersigned were appointed a Commit
tee to make arrangements for the great HARRI-
SON and TYLER CONVENTION, which is
to be held in the CITY OF LANCASTER,
On Friday, the 18th Of September, qaert
In accordance with the duty thus imposed on
them, the Committee would respectfully suggest
to their friends in the different townships and
districts, that the meetings which are to be held
on the 22d instant, for the election of delegates
to the County Convention, will present a very
favorable opportunity for making arrangements
to have themselves represented in the Convention
of the 18th of September.
It is recommended that Committee be APP
pointed at your meeting, whose duty it shall be
to call upon all the legal voters Of the district
whose sentiments coincide with our own, and
ascertain. as near as possible, how many of them
will be willing to attend rs delegates; TO urge
upon all the Importance of SO deing; to procure
neat BANNER, with the name of the district and
an appropriate motto Inscribed thereon; to select
a competent and energetic man to- officiate as
MARSHAL to the delegation; and to. see that it
is assembled at some convenient place on the
morning of the 18th, IN order that it may reach
this city by 10 o'clock, earlier if practicable.
The Committee deem It unnecessary to say
much to yeU upon the importance of having the
GOLD GUARDp well represented in the proposed
Convention. The steady devotion to the cause
of FREEDOM AND EQUALpTY which Lancaster
county has at all times mamfested-the firm and
unbroken front which she has uniformly present.
ed to the assaults of the enemy-are the surest
guarantees that she will not be backward in the
preparatory arrangements fer the great struggle
in behalf of Constitutional Liberty, which is to
take place in October next. We feel confident
that the farmer will cheerfu1y leave his plough
the mechanic his workshep-the laherer his
daily task--in. erder to aid IN swelling the tor
rent of real Democracy, which will pour in upon
our CITY OH that day from the neighboring ceun-
ties of the Commonwealth. The hears of the
patriot will repice to be brought into close com
munion with the thousands ofhonest freemen who
wiAl then assemble to register their eternal hos
tilhy to the destructive and demoralizing doc
trlnes of Van Buren, Loco FocDism.
No limit is assignedto the number of delegRtes
Each district will exercise its own discretion on
that point. Arrangements will be made for the
accommodation of all who may choose to, come;
and the Committee hereby tender a cordial.invi-
tatisn to every citizen of the county who has in
dependence enough to think, and energy enough
to act for himself
The precise hour for the assembling of the
Convention, the order of procession, etc will be
announced in due time.
The Committee will only add, that tse Hon.
N. P. TALLMADGE, of New York the Hon. VIM
c. RIvEs, OF Virginia; the Buckeye Blacksmith,
and other eloquent champions of our cause, are
| expected to be present on the occasion.
