THE HARRISBURG NoMrN ATOMS.

THE HARRISBURG NOMIN NATIONS.
10 copy the proceedings of enthusiastic Wing
meetings IN reierance to the Harrisburg Nomina-
lions, winch reach us from every part ofthe coun-
try, would be only to fill our columns, to the
cislon OF other matters interesting to readers,
with repetition of the same notes of appreciation,
confirmation, and graduation. 1t is sufficient to
say once Tor oil, that there is in the whole circle
oithe Union among those who are conscientious
| ~ opposed to the present Administration, not a
dissenting voice to be heard against the candidates
presented to the People. Every indication, on
the contrary, is suspicious to merge, the power
ana the success of the united Wing Conservative
party is the coming contest.
The latest Of these meetings, of which an nc
count has caught our attention, is one that was
held IN the Court House in Cincinnati (Ohio) on
New Years day, and which was the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in that city; and what
IS quite remarkable, the President (Ebenezer
liuse, Esq and many of the officers of the NEE
ting are known 10 have been ardent supporters of
the election OF Gen. Jackson to the Presidency in
! 1928.
AT this meeting Mr.. Pendeton, the delegate
from that district to the Convention at Harrisburg
rendered an account of his mission, and his obser.
vations during his journey. In the course of his
speech he related the following anecdote, which
we need not say was well received:
| y" lie SAID that in one of the counties Of Ohio,
he found landlord who for a wonder was n rahd
|
conceal the tact even from his guests all of whom
he discovered were in favour of General Harrison
| Our most saIh ne and his neighbours were nll in
favour OF the Administration, winch had produced
such prosperous times that every body with them
was getting rich, aud that for lis own part, he
had never made so much money before | ex-
pressed (said Col. Po my surprise at this rs the
very rovcrsc was the case between the Miamis
tot nobody praised the times but the Office hol-
Gers, and that our landlord himself must be an
ohce-holder NO. said he, 81 am mott "Not
an ofiice-ho'der! are you sure ?" That is" aaid
he, A" am only County Treasurer" "Aha! /
thought as much and pray, Mr.. County Tieasu
rer, what is the price of wheat in these parts ?"
Only fifty cents said he, 'rhs is an act of Pro-
whence" elbow sop "Propidence has given
genial seasons, and rewarded the labor of the far
mer with abundant crops 81 cart help that" he
said, 'heAdminiStration had nothing to do with it,
30 you See that, in the opinion of this County
reasurer, MIR, Van Buren, has the credit of the
large crops, aud PROVIDENCE must be content to be
charged with low prces."--.Nat. Intel.

Every thing looks well here in regard to the
approaching Presidential campaign. The best
possible feeling pervadcs the entire Wing party
i he accounts from the country of the most
cheering character. Every where are the people
: moving with the greatest enthusiasm in favor of
General Harrison the civilian, the soldier, the
patriot.
in conversation, to day, with Mr. Clay, he told
me that from all quarters the utmost harmony pre-
vailed, and that he entertained the most sanguine
expectations of success. Nothing, he said, could
prevent it, have never seen him in better spir
is, or more devoted to the success of The Wing
cause, or the welfare of the country MIR. Bucll.-
anan, of Pa, admits that Harrison is making rouh-
lie in his estate. He srys, however, he don think
he will get orer from 5000 10 5000 Fan Buren,
uofes II he gets the lesser number he will get
the ELECTORAL vote OF the Keystone State.
The Democratic Candidme The Chillicothe
Gazette says: The Advertiser ftigns much surprise
because, as il says, there are the names of 'two
Democrats on the Harrison committee to make
preparations fol the county meeting on the 9Th OF
January. Why, man. the committee is composed
OF SIXTY ono each of whom is better Democrat
than your Federal, Sub Treasury President, and
all OF whom will support Gen. Harrison, who is
: and always was n Democrat-tllc son ola Deme-
cratic sgper Of the Declaration of Independence
the companion and friend of Jefferson, Madison
and all the old fathers of Democracy"
= Undoubtedly if ever there was Democratic
3 candidate for otiice-a candidate who had jus
claim TO the sufrages of the real democracy Of
the country, 1t is General WILLIAM ii. HARRISON
the honest man, who has served his country faith
fully IN various capacities, and has discussed mil
lions OF public money, without any of it sticking Il
his hands! tie wary and brave old General mere,
. lost battle the man who has been a democra
from his youth up and his father was Wing OF
/ OF the Revolution. In word the LOG CABIN can
didate IL there be democratic candidate, il
r must he General Harrison. For it would be in the
# last degree ridiculous to call his competitor tn,
# nice gentleman who occupies the place and sup
# ports an English coach and foreign outriders =
the man worth half a million the democratic
o candlate.-Ba PATRIOT
