! Town, Pennsy lvania. The concourse you may
well conceive, immense, this is the largest por
ton Of the county from which the old soldiers voun
teered their services under General HARRISON de-
J fend the Northwestern lTonter. The old soldiers
here, without any exception, made great sacrifices to
meet the General, and the friendly and cordial
ner in which he has greeted them uniformly, / am
sure will endear his elevated virtues their memory

confidence reposed in him by the people He said he
was elevated to power by the people, and not by the
willy politician or corrupt demagogue-but by the ho
nest yeomanry of the land. To-day, tho President
elect is occupied in receiving the visits of his political
friends. The Hon. Andrew Stewart is here evinc-
ing great delight at the triumph of the party and the
high spirits of the General He is marked in his at

magnanmous efforts never fail to receive and gene
