The Death Of Gen. Harrison.

With heart almost dissolved in
sorrow, it becomes our painful duty to
announce the death of our revered
President He died on Sunday NOR
ming last at twenty minutes before one
o'clock. His disease was pneumo MIA,
of a typhus character. He had been
con fined to his room for about ten
days, during the most of which time he
was considered dangerously i'll. We
have not any further particulars, and
derive this melancholy intelligence
from a slip printed in the office of the
Globe, Immediately after his death.
We scarcely dare trust our pen to
portray the feelings which are now
swelling in our bosom, for fear of dis
playing the efieminacy of our heart
But while our whole country is dripping
with tcars,-whilc the cold and selfish
politician is absorbed in sorrow-wi,ilc'
the proud and arrogant are bowed in
sadness and grief-while the poor and
humble are mourning the loss of their
bencfactor and friend, it is true our
heart is swelled with anguish. and is
almost bursting with the nniennncy of
its grief We had ardcn'|y hoped that
that Providence which had thus far sus-s
tanned him, as if by special care, would
have left him with us until the fruits
Of the goodness of his heart, and ofhi {
great and powerful mind, had ripcned
upon our country. But the fiat has
gone for,h-and he who was first in the ]
hearts of his countrymcn has gone too

The proceedings ha ut the Wing Convention
which assembled in Economy on the 81 inst, are
published in another column. The Convention
met about elov en- o'clock in the Methodist Church
when few rem rks were made by the Hon
JAMES RARIpEN. II was then proposed TO organ
ize and proceed to business; but Gen. M'Certy
remarked tina, he though, it would be prudent. OF
at least respectful to the counties not represented
by delegates To postpone any further business IN

delegates nigh, yet arrive from the north. The
meeting accordingly adjourned untiil one o'clock
At one o'clock the Convention again met

met, took the Chair. The Secretaries proceeded
to call the names Of the counties of the Dis
trict,whcn i, was found there were delegates pre-
sent from SIX Randolph Delaware. Henry, Fay
cite, Union, and WAYNE. The proceedings Of a
Convention held by the citizens of the coun-
ties of Noble and Lagrange were represented,
which made eigh, OF the counties in the Dsirlc,

more than two thirds of the whole of The Dis

constituents offered resolution to adjourn. The
resolution did not pass, when the delegation from
Henry, Delaware, and a minority Of those from
Randolph withdrew. The Conv en,ion Il; en- proceed ]

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

"As we anticipated, the Convention (if we
amay dignity il by the nancy which met at Econ
somy on the 81 instant, to nominate a Candidate
for Congress, proved an abortion, and broke up
without doing anything calculated to secure the
harmony of the Wing party. OnIv six counties
Unon, Faye,te, Wayne, Henry, Delaware, and
Randolph, were represented. and the delegates
from the three latter finding that their preferences
and views were to have no weight, Withdrew from
the onvontIon, whereupon the delegates fror
the three former, who went there with deter
mna.io to nominate c. B. SMITI.a all haza rds
asse mbied in solemn conclave, and s.arrogated &c
themselves tho right TO dictate whom the People
shall support for Congress-" they nominated Mr.
Smith, and the matter stands now just it did
before. The respective friends of the two gen
tlemen will make no compromise, both 81 ndj-
dates and will run the race through. IL this were
TALL, we should no, much regret the result Of the
caucus, but the bitter fruits Of ascension are al
ready TO be seen"
The above We clip from Knightstown Sun and
we regret that young friend has seen fit 10
pen and publish such an article. Denunciatons
of this character, are unworthy a Wing. The
delegates in that Conven lion did not "arrogate to
tho right to dictate whom the people
s"ou'u so"u ~ congress. Iney were nn,oin.
ed TO aominate a candidate, by their fellow citi
zens. They found large majority of the voters
of the District represented, and believed their pc
li,cal friends Who had sent up Delegates were|
willing to abide the decision of those who might
assemble. The delegates in attendance were ap-
pointed regardless of personal feelings and pre- /
delic,ions-they were honorable and upright men, !
and should not have their motives mpugned audi
their actions slanderod. The business was con-
Quoted fuirly and honorabIy, and il any asper
sions cast. it should DO upon those who at
tempted TO disorganize the Convention by with
dra awning. We fear that if the favorite candGatel
of Mr. Grubbs had been nomna ted, the Convcn-
tion would have been considered O. X.
