THE OPPOSITION CANDIDATE

We continue to receive from all quarters OF the
Union, the most cheering evidences Of the enthusiasm
with which the Harrisburg nomination has been r~cev.
ed IL seems 10 be one around which all The various
terests aud parties opposed to the bghilng admnlsta
tion OF Mr. Van Buren, arrange themselves,
Great wisdom, We think, manifested by the Con-
sentioD, 10 selecting tried patriot and statesman OF the
old school, but especially IN the choice OF one who has
no parzan prejndices or pariales to indulge aud who
has been IN no manner identified with the political con.
hic,s which have unfortunately distracted, If not dis.
graced this country for the last years II is our
deliberate opinion, that there be man in this ma
tion. who will be, il elected 10 that Office emphacay
the presiden, Of the people and Of party lha, man
Is General Hsrrison The whole tenor OF his life 10

warm enthusiasm with which his nomination has been
received by all the elements, Constituting. think

the reelection OF the present incumbent. Every day
ds.loses the fact that there hunters Of The party
who brought Mr.. Van Buren into power dissali. fed
with the measures Of his administration. That num-
ber, believe, will be- greatly increased by the late
message OF the President fraught, it s with unusual
political doctrines and measures If carried out most
disastrous to the interests OF the community This
meTous class OF persons disappointed in their expecta
tions in regard TO MIR. Van Buren,, are now looking
round for another candidate whom to unite For
tunately, large party OF their fellow citizens
bed to invite their ooperation IN the support of plain,
practical, democratic republican, who called to Of
hce by Washington, and continued in most responsible
stations by Jefferson and Madison: A man who has
filled more military aud civic Offices than any other
American citizen living, who has always been
found equal to the emergencies IN which lie has been
placed aud upon whose incorruptible integrity, the
breath of suspicion has rested In coming The
support of such man, the former supporters Of Mr.
Van Buren, make no sacrifice of principle Of sef-re
speci-they offer insult to him who once their
choice-they do enlist under the banner of one who
has been the rever partizan opponent,
of the present Executive. We, therefore. without i'm
pugning the motives Of Mr. Van Buren, in his political
course questioning the honesty of those who voted
for his election, respectfully present the name " Gen.

satisfied with the measures Of the President,
