WEBSTER AND HARRISON.

The nomination of Daniel Webster, the sterling patriot and eminent statesman, for President, and Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, the gallant and veteran commander of the north western army, whose abilities have also been so highly signalized in various high and responsible civil employments, would doubtless prove acceptable to the great majority of the Whig and Antimasonic parties of the Union, and would probably prove successful in the event of the South's forming a ticket of their own, unconnected with the Baltimore nomination, of which there is a strong probability. Judge White will probably be supported by all the Southern States. Webster and Harrison would then receive a large portion of the Eastern, Middle, and Western States— the South would support their own nomination, and Van Buren and Johnson would be left in the back ground. The Antimasonic and Whig parties of Pennsylvania, if we may judge from the symptoms among the papers of the former, would cheerfully unite on the Webster and Harrison nomination, and the success of such a ticket would prove honorable to the country.

For where is the man of higher virtues,— greater patriotism, or more shining talents than Daniel Webster. As a statesman he is the pride and glory of his country; as a public speaker, unrivalled in overwhelming argument; as a lawyer of spotless reputation and of the very highest forensic abilities; in short, he is one of the brightest stars in the American firmament.

Gen. Harrison, a tried soldier and patriot, commands in an eminent degree the affections of the west, has not been sufficiently rewarded for his meritorious services, and even his fame has been sought to be eclipsed and tarnished by praises and honors conferred on a subordinate officer. We have no doubt that such a nomination would receive the approbation of the PEOPLE.—[Miner's Jour. Penn.
