A g eat meeting was held here, at the
State House, two evenings since, which
entirely confirms the opinions l have
expressed 10 you respecting
The power of the name of HARRISON in
this quarter. Some have doubted it,
know; they have thought US welded to
WEBSTER alone, and that at all events,

er mistake, and the Van Buren, men, as
we'll as our own timid friends at dis
lance, will assuredly find it so in the fall,
if not before. Webster is no less ia
vorile than ever; he is more so, if pos
sible, since his withdrawal, and even be-
cause of it; and SO is Clay since his.
The spirit exhibited by those gentlemen
on these occasions was such as to endear
them 10 us-such as we expected from
patriot souls like theirs. And their ex-
ample has done much to diffuse a kin
dred spirit among US, and all over the
North. A spirit of compromise and con-
citation is distinctly the order Of the day
throughout New England; never, I verify
believe, so much SO as now. We shall
go for Harrison here as one man. The
Northern Wings will move for him en-
n'asse. And, moreover, they will not
merely not oppose him, or oppose each
other, but they will take hold Of the COM
ing contest with ''hearts of controversy"
They are awake, as Mr. Webster told
them the other day they must be. They

The meeting at the State House was
one, adding only Delegates
from towns no. represented in the Legis-
lature by the Wings. It thus gave ut
terance to the sentiments of the entire
Commonwealth. Il more animated or
occasion OF the kind never oc-
cured. The Hall was densely crowded,
and the speeches distinguished eminen,ly
by the prevailing harmonious and hope
ful spirit of the times. have no room
for details, but will add an anecdote or
two of Gen. Harrison, which were fur
nished by member Of the House, Mr.
Putnam, ef Danvers, "a descendant, by
the way, Of the brave old General, and
still living and toiling On the ancestral
acres in that rl1ce.) He gave them fresh
from friend on the spot-a good au-
thority.
This gentleman had resided in Cincin-
natl. On one occasion, when invited to
dine in company with General H., while
the guests were at the table, the crying
of child in the streets reached their
ears; no very unusual sound, certainly,
and one that would draw few men from
the board Of friend. But the kind
heart of the General was moved; he left
the table went into the street, and re-
turned; and what do you suppose, asked
Mr.. H., he found there and did there !?
1t was little girl crying, and afraid to
go home. because she had lost a three
dollar bank note with which her mother
had directed her to pay a bill. Stop
your crying, my little girl" said the old
gentleman; and, drawing from his pocket
a three dollar note, he added. ''here, take
this, and go and pay the BILL
Again. Once, when the Generals
home was distantfrom Cincinnati, he had
At his table company of gentlemen.
While at their meal a rap was heard at
he door. A stranger, in mean attire,
asked if Gen. Harrison was at home.
!. Yes was the reply. Il should like
% see him." said the poor man. The
General was called TO the door. The
stranger was one of his old soldiers. He
vas welcomed by his commander. and,
ollowing him into the drawing-room,
vas thus introduced: !" Gentlemen, here
5 one Of my old comrades who has done
,attle for his country, and he will take
eat acith us at the table" A brief con-
,ersation soon satisfied the host that his
,uest, though poor, might be deserving;
md, turning TO the company, he said,
Gentlemen, | shall furnish my old
omrade with a decent suit of clothes,
nd give him a letter to one of my friends
n Cincinnati. asking him to give this
