GREAT HARRISON MEETING.

Inc meeting IN me Court HOUSE, last evening
was worthey OF Dauphin county-it was worthy
the county which first named General Harrison in
connection with the Presdency-lt was worthy
free, intelligent, magnanimous and noble people
We desire no better evidence than that which this
meeting furnished OF what Dauphin will do for
Harrison and Tyler IN the fall Of 1910. The old e,
the young and the nIddle-aged, from all parts of
our county, were in attendance. Some Of our farm
rode 30 miles 10 be present at this gather
ing tOgether Of The sovereign people. Old Demo-
Gratis of the times of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Snyder were in attendance by scores, and man.
Tested an enthusiasm worthy such old patriots
In short, greater gathering together of the people
we never before witnessed. At an early hour 4
transparency representing Gen Harrisons % log
cabin" on one sde-the battle of the Thames on
auother-the flag of the republic on thrd-and
the motto or'' DEMOCRACY, REFORM, AND
ONE PRESIDENTIAL TERM, ;" on the fourth
introduced; and 1t was then that the full hearts
of the country people broke loose with all the wild
joyous acciamatons that their lungs could give
vent to and from thence until the adjournment,
which could not have been less than three hours,
the deafenng shouts of the multitude, interrupted
every few minutes by the beautiful speeches OF
hlessrs. Fraey, Dnrsie, SParkman and renrose
Harrisburg Chronicle.
The Locofoco papers tell the Wings tVan Blu
rem is certain of his election, and that Harrison
would his friends great trouble if no would al
once surrender There is singular coincidence
between this Language and that used by Proctor to
Harrison at Fort meigs. When Proctor called mp
on him TO surrender, he sent word IN him that he
would receive greater honor by capturing the fort
than by having it sun cndered to him. So say the
Wings to the Locolocos. We can't surrender,

The Locofoco papers may be savage they
please IN their assaults upon Gen. Harrison. Old
Tippecanoe is used TO whipping savages.
Who can deny The potency ofthe nomination of
Harrison and Tyler, when ii has power TO frighten
two such deadly enemies Van Buren, and Cal
houn into a coalition
At the late dinner in Washington Judge White
pledged himself to the support OF The Harri<buIgh
nomination, and passed eloquent eulogy upon
the character of General Harrison, Gov. Davis, Of
Massachusetts, followed and spoke in a most com
plimentary manner Of that gentleman he con
cnded by toast in aIlusion to the Great VEST
whereupon Mr. Clay at the spontaneous call
made upon him He said he had but one feeling
touching the contest he had ust entered an ardent
desire for the success OF Gen. Harrison. "And,
SiI said he ''if we all do our duty, nc will he
10 succeed every Thing looks to this result.
The Ohio State Journal IN giving account Of
a large Harrison Meeting in Butler County, says
Three ourhs of the meeting farmers, who
not only know the difference between "pork tn
cents pound X spark three centS pound, but the
causes which have made thar difference Fully
one half Of the meeting were men who were warm
supporters of General jackson. Depend upon il,
Butler is awake Her hard listed ycnmaury are
satisfied with the Van Buren, shelter currency"
payable ''twelve months after date, and are Will
ing to go back to the currency that would, at all
times command the face of it in specie n almost
every point in the civilized world.
