The convention to be held al Columbus, o,

political convention ever known in the United
States, out OF the great cities. The numer-
ons delegates from the extreme parts OF Ohio,
are making preparations to 20 with tents, and

In Massachusetts, New York. Pennsylva-
MIA, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
and Louisiana, the great Harrison party are
united. active and confident With proper
efforts Alabama may be rescued. and as il is,
the sceptre Of Missouri will tremLle in the
hands Of the Humbugger." We are told
that even the representative ia Congress from
Arkansas, frowned upon the ungratelul at
tack made by Mr. Crary upon the military
character Of Gen. Harrison. Upon what
States, therefore, can the unfruiiful admins
traton of the destructives count with proba-
bic ceraintyl We verify believe there is but
ONE, and that State is benigh,cd New Hamp-
shire. South Carolina ard Georgia, Neither
Mr.. Van Buren nor General Harrison can
count upon those States, at the present mo-
ment.
Is there not, therefore, abundant cause for
that dismay and alarm which pervade the
party power, and ample reason for that high
tone of confidence which animates the Oppo-
siton There is. But let us not relax our
exertions. Our enemies are secretly and in
sidiously at work. They must be closely
watched, and vigorously met. Let union, en-
ergy, industry and perseverance, be our
watchwords, and the gallant hero Of the West
will receive the civic wreath which his merits
have long deserved, and our country ywill be
redeemed, regencrated and disenthralled.

PROGRESS OF THE. CAMPAIGN.

We have not room to publish the proceed
ings Of the numerous democratic Harrison
meetings that are sent us from every quarter.
The people are up. The de mocratic mass
are heaving like the ocean, preparatory to
that sweeping surge that will overwhelm the
spoilers and destructives in November next.
When the wild and destructive experiments
Of the administration are overshadowing the
land, and darkening the prospects of the
American people, when the heaviest adversely
rests upon the country, and the cry of distress
is heard from every quarter; when, the la
boter, the mechanic. the farmer, the trades
man is tossed by the fury Of the tempest, and
the pltIless storm howls around his head and
threatens to shipwreck his fortunes and
drown his hopes, the people descry with JOY
tar IN the west, the harbinger of safety and
peace. General Harrison looms upon their
gaddened view, and stands, like an inpreg-
habla lighthouse, based upon an eternal rock,
nocklng the fury of the winds and waves,
and from his lofty tower Illuminating and
guiding the weary mariner in his troubled
path.
Tho people every where are fixing their
eyes upon that pure aud steady light, and raj
lying to it with united and grateful hearts, as
to the hope of their political salvation.
FROM the announcement Of the nomina-
ton TO the present moment, we have received
cheering accounts from every quarter, and
mat continually, and without alloy. The
march of the cause has been on,cdrd. There
nus been not only no desertons of any mo-
'nent, but steady accession Of recruits from
Inc walks of neutrality and the ranks Of the
enemy.

HARRISON AND REFORM.

The assemblage at the town
room on New Years day, furnished
a most cheering indication of the
spirit Of the times. Notwithstand-
ing the brief notice, land the severity
of the day, the house was filled to
Overlooking, and by such a congre-
cation as we have never before wit
messed in this county. 1t was no
convocation of office. holders and
government menials, to devise means
for perpetuating ill-gotten and much
abused power; but it was a fair rep.
resentation of the varied interests
of republican communicate the
bone and sinew of the couptry-an
assemblage of the people themselves
to consider their grievances and de-
wise the remedy. AS such, it was
a sublime manifestation of the inhe-
rent virtue and self-sustaining prin-
ciple OF a republican government,
and well calculated to inspire the
patriot with an abiding faith in the
ultimate redemption of the country.
The Hon. EZRA MECH presided,
assisted by four vice presidents and
three secretaries. Two of our del
egates to the National Convention,
Messrs. BRIGGs and PAINE, were
present and addressed the meeting
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1840-01-03

at considerable length, giving MS
tory of the deliberations at Harris
hurgh, and the reasons which pre-
ponderated with them in favor OF
the Hero of the North Bend. These
it is needless to say, were cogent
and conclusive and the spirit in
which they were received by the
meeting was by no means eqHvocal.
1t was a cordial concurrence, and a
vote of thanks to the delegates.
The committee on business reported
series ofspirited resolutions,which
were discussed with much ability
by Messrs. Allen, Adams, Stevens
of st. Adams, and several other gen.
tlemen, and unanimously adopted.
George p. Marsh, Esq. from the
committee appointed for that pur-
pose, reported an address to the
freemen of the County, which was
marked with the singular perspicu-
ity and vigor of its author, and, un.
less we greatly err, will recommend
itself to the good sense of every
candid man who will take the pains
to peruse it.
Letters were received from a
number of distinguished individuals
abroad, which were duly noticed,
and will be referred to more par
ticularly hereafter.
The publication of the message
puts it out of our power to say more
on this subject to-day. In our next,
however, we shall give the procee-
dings in detail, together with the
resolutions, address, SC. And for
the purpose of accommodating those
who may desire to send the doings
abroad, we shall publish a few hun
dred copies extra.
In view Of this and similar dem
onstrations at home, and the ac-
counts that reach US from abroad, we
can with great assurance bid our
political friends "be of good cheer,''
for the sky is bright. The Harris
burg nomination is every where re-
sponded to with cordially and en-
thusiasm. Never did measure SO
thoroughly re-animate and re-unit e
the opposition. Ali personal differ
ences are forgotten, all private pre-
objections merged, and zeal and ac-
tivity substituted for GOODNESS and
indccision.
