THE HARRISBURG NOMINATIONS.

To copy the proceedings of enthusiastic Wing
meetings in reference TO the Harrisburg Nomna-
tions, which reach us from part of the
! try, wonld be only to fill our columns, to the
clusion Of other matters interesting TO readers,
with repetition Of the same notes Of appreciation,
confirmation, and gratu ation. 1t is sufficient 10
say, once for all, that there is in The whole circle
( of the Union, among those who conscientious.
~ opposed to the present administration not dis
sentient voice to be heard against the candidates
presented TO the People. Every indication, the
contrary, is suspicious to the energy, the power,
and the success of the united Wing Conservative
party in The coming contest.
The latest OF these meetings, of which
count has caught our attention, is one that was
held at the Court House in Cincinnati, Ohio,
New Years day, and which the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in that city and,
what is quite remarkable, the President of the
meeting (Ebenezer HuIse, Esq, and many of Tho
officers of the meeting are known to have been ar
dent supporters of the election Of Gen Jackson to
the Presidency in 1928.
We observe in the New Orleans papers of tho
! first of the month a call for n meeting of the
! Wings of that city, to be held the evening of
the 4b inst. "or the purpose of responding to she
nomination of the Wing National Convention at
| Harrisburg, and II adopt preliminary measures to
insure the success ofthe Wing cause in Louisiana.
The called is signed by four hundred CITIZENS, com
prisng of all classes and professions, and rep
resenting every interest in that great city among
them, too are many of the Oldest and most etlec'
tive supporters of Gen Jackson and his admins
tion.-.Ndt. Int.
! The Harrisburg nomination takes beyond ali
conception of its own friends. The popular move
ment will show itself to be irresistible. Loco-fo-
coism Van Burensm and CalhounIsm VIII be
swept by the board. We have heard OF move
nens and preparations of the greatest interest and
| which add much the already very favorable
augurles of success Time will show.
| A Van Buren, Senator has declared, in this city,
his opinion that Harrison will sweep Ohio by 90
600 majority, and Indiana and Illinois with
out an effort. The Harrisonan party is increasing
beyond measure. For example eight individuals
in one place, we have heard of, have abandoned
Van Buren,, and espoused the of Harrison,
Liberty, and the Constitution. Thus rolls the ball
in every direction, and victory is the word-Vash-
ington Madisonian.
The Hero on has old Rattle Ground The Wings
of Detroit have had one of the greatest meetings
ever known in that ancient city. The .AdDert'S~
says, the democracy of Numbers" there,-
the bone and sinew of the city and State were IN
| atendance-the soldiers, who fought and bled III
the gallant army of the beloved General at l1PPe-
| canoe, Fort Meigs and the Thames, were there
and the aroused spirit of Freemen was there IL
was noble, and glorious gathering. 1t sPahe'
| trumpet -tongued, to the usurpers at Washington
! 1t gave token Of sublime triumph in the grea'
contest before US. Never did we witness grea.e'
enthusiasm. Never were we more firmly Gon DpI
ed of a triumph in any contest, than that HARM
SON and TYLER will be elected by the acclama-
ton of the People.
At an early hour, the watch fires were kndleaii
forth the dawning of brighter day for our coNh''
