LATER.


The Wing Convention at Harlisburgh had
balIotted once for candidate Tor the Pres
idency which stood as follows:


Clay, 90 l2 States.


Harrison, 90


Scott. 90 7


1t was the opinion of persons at Harris
burg. that General Harrison would be
nominated for President, and Hugh l..
White, of Tennessee, for Vice President;
there will probably be many ballotings be-
fore a nomination is agreed on, and Gener-
al SCOTS chance is by no means desper-
ate one.


p. S. Later accounts, state that Gen.
Harrison has been nominated by AZ ma jor-
ity.
