GENERAL HARRISON.


Judging from the tone Of the public Jour
mails from the West, and especially from Ohio,
Tennessee, Indiana, and IlIinos-the enihu-
siasm among the people Of that section OF the
country in behalf OF Gen. Harrison, IS without
precedent in our political history. His nomi-
nation seems 10 have called forth degree Of
excitement, that the most sanguine OF his
| friends could not have anticipated. Thus, we
find that in Kentucky. the flag of Harrison
and yler is streaming like the train of a
blazing star, from the mast head OF every
Wing Journal. In Tennessee, they have al.
ready agreed upon three Wing Conventions
-one for the Eastern, one for the Western,
and one for the Middle District The lion Of
freedom, says Prentice, is shaking the dew
drops from his name. In Indiana, on the 25ih
uIt. an immense meeting was held, al which
the people assembled on the battle-ground Of
Tippecanoe, and determined to rally as one
.lan, for the glorious old hero of that well
fought field. In Tennessee, also, the feeling
is equally confident. We have before US in
the Nashville Whig Of the 9th, an account Of
the greatest public meeting ever held on any
occasion in that city. For twelve hours, says
the Wing, the large county court room Of the
State House rang with the plaudIts OF The peo-
pc, and the cloquence Of their distinguished
iavorites on the occasion Of receiving and re-
spending to the nomination OF WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON, for the Presidency.
We do not recollect on any former occasion
to have Witnessed the presence Of so many of
our country friends, the hardy farmers Of Old
Davidson, who, notwithstanding the inclem-
ency Of the day, had determined 10 hear what
could be said in favor Of the chosen leader Of
the great Wing host The mechanic, mer-
camille, and professional classes of the city,
were also represented in respectable force,
while our friends in the Legislature contribut-
ed not only to swell the number present, but
to add largely to the interest and enthusiasm
OF the occasion. In short, it was literally n
day OF rejoicing, and its proceedings will long
be remembered among The first joyous fruits
of the Peoples Nomination.


Judging from these signs Of the times,
those unerring evidences of public opinion,
the Opposition Of the West will walk over
the course i'll triumph. Harrison will not
only carry his old States, but by majorities
greatly increased. The people are every
where up and in motion, and the good cause
appears to gather strength with each hour
