"We wish to underceive the editors of other states in reference to the popularity of Gen. Harrison here, which is in fact nothing more than the clamor of two newspapers in the interior. We have made inquiries on this subject, and though we are acquainted and have conversed with many of those who served under Gen. Harrison during the late war, we have yet to see or hear of the first man in Western Pennsylvania who will support him for the Presidency."
