HARRISON GOING AHEAD.

From every section of the country we are
gratlfed to hear of the unanimity with which
the nominations of the Harrisburg Conven-
ton have been received North, West. South
and East. 1t would fill our sheet five were
to attempt to copy even one third of the ac
counts of the large, respectable, and enthusi-
astic meetings, held in different sections of
the Union, in favor of Harrison and TYLER for
President and Vice-President. We cow the
loliowlng description of one held in Harris
burg, Pa, from the National Intelligencer:
Harrison and Tyler meeting was held in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday even
ing, which, as stated in the Chronicle, was
"worthy the county that first named General
Harrison In conneXion with the Presidency.
In regard to numbers and spirit, it was n
gathering of the People, exceeding any tbinn
OF the Kind heretofore witnessed in that coun.
", msomuch that the editor of the Chronicle
desires ''no better evidence than that which
this meeting furnished of what Daupbin will
do Tor Harrison and Tylerin the fall of-ISIO. ,,
Nothing, according to present signs, can
prevent the progress of the honest man of
North Bend to the Executive chair. 1t is the
VIII OF the People that, after long and arduous
and but lll-reward public service, he should
exchange the Log Cabin for the UHite House.
AT an early hour, as we learn from the
chronicle, transparency representing Gen.
Harrison's ''log cabin" on one side, the battle
OF the Thames on another, the fac of the Re-
public on third, and the motto .sDemocroe,,.
Refrenchmeet, Reform, and One Presidential
form" on the fourth, was introduced and il
was then that the full hearts of the country
people broke loose with all the wild iovous
acclamatlons that their lungs could give vent
IN md fro
which could no: have been less than three
hours, the deatening shouts Of the multitude
interrupted, every few minutes, the excellent
and STIRRING speeches of Messrs. Fraley, Oar
sic, Spackman, and Penrose. After the last
named gentleman had concluded, the meetino
gave three cheers for Harrison and Tylcr. and
then separated.
THE PROGRESS IS ONWARD.-The
Log Cabin candidate appears to be goinr
ahead In all quarters of the country, and in
the west especially will carry every thing be-
lore him. The Pittsburg Gazette, of Friday,
says:-Iwo months ago, we expressed our
decided opinion that HARRiscN's majority in
this county would range from % to twenty
hVe hundred. we were then told that we
were extravagant. Since that time. however.
the detection from the Loco Foco ranks has
been so great, that now no friend of ours looks
LOT a less majority than TWENTY-FIVE hundred -
HARRISON IN NEW YORK.-A let
Ter from Albany, dated January 18th, to a GEN
man man In Washington, says: ''Never has the
wing party been SO united as at the present
moment in this State. The nomination at
Harrisburg has united us thoroughly. 1t is
compromise OF feeling without a sacrifice of
principle, and all true democrats will raIIv
around the standard of HARRtsoN and TylgR.
some very active politicians in the Van Buren,
party In this city have already declared their
intention TO unite with us at the next election.
IL would not surprise me if we carried the
State almost by accamation.''
