THE pRospEcr-EAsroN SENTINEL.

| 1t is indeed cheering to behold the unaninity
which pervades the ranks of the Democratic Wings,
and the enthusiasm manifested in favor of the old
Hero of the West. There is a determination "a
broad among the people to take the government
into their own hands, and put veto on the NAL
administration of the political gIimalkin' who
crept into office through the sleeve of Old Hick-
ory's' great military coat Almost every demo-
cratic paper we take up is filled with accounts Of
Harrison celebrations, Harrison conventions, and
Harrison meetings, in the West, and South West,
and even the South, with her State Rights and
Notification doctrines begins to move in the great
cause of Harrison and Reform Yet, in the face
of the most striking evidence of unanimity in the
Wing ranks in support of General Harrison, the
trembling, cowardly, collared presses that adhere
to the sinking fortunes of Van Buren, have the
hardihood to declare all is disafection, discord,
and anarchy Of this class is the Easton Senti-
mel. He, like true vassel, raises his puny voice
in the general shout, but with what success re-
mains to be seen. We took occasion two weeks
since, TO notice an elaborate and windy episte on
this matter, which appeared in his columns, and
seem to have thrown him ON the defensive He
offers as proof Of the disaffection towards Gen1
First the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle, which he as
serts to be a Wing paper, says,
"We cannot go for Harrison and think and labor
spent IN vain to attempt to elect him. lie cannot possibly
vote south OF the Potomac
Second, the Athens (Ga.) Banner, which says,
The citizens of Georgia. both parties will repudiae the
Harrison candidate and his principles
Third, on the authority of some Washington let
ter writer, that
"Mr John s. Barbour distinguished Whg politician of
Virginia. has out tooth and nall against the Harrisburg
nomination"
Fifth, the Columbus Enquirer, a Wing paper,
asserts
Mr. Van Buren, and forced choose we have no
lestancy In saying We viii sustain the atler.'
And last, the following declaration Of the Vicks-
burg Whig:
othor candidate brought by opposition
he present administration, viii take part the coming
contest, But remain idle.
And this is what the Sentinel calls an array of
evidence !-evidence, which in lis estimation,
S sufficient 10 convince all natur' that General
Harrison can't be elected And is this all you
AVE to offer in defence of your postionl Two
'apers in Georgia Zone reputed Whig,) and the
ssertiOn of Washington letter writer! And
hese form the basis for column of editorial /
This the arrayof evidence which he conurs up to
efend himself against the charge of misrepresen-
alton. Shade of Munchausen! defend him!
As it regards the declaration of the Vicksburg
Vhig offer by way of offset, the following from
he Phil. Inquirer of the 18th inst.
The vicksbrg Wing which rebeled against the
omnaon has at length gwen its cordial adhesion The
pated and he nov sustans the of Harrison and reform
nth unfnching determination"
And, if the Columbus Enquirer, Wing paper,
as even hoised the Van Buren flag, it is only ne
essary for US to say that the Van Buren, paper of
le same place, the Confederate has declared
'r Harrison. So much for your array Of evil I
ence.' Mr.. Sentinel. Try again.
