From the Madisonian.

The Harrisburg nomination takes beyond all conception of its own friends. The popular movement will show itself to be irresistible. Locofocoism, Van Burenism, and Calhounism will be swept by the board. We have heard of movements and preparations of the greatest interest, and which add much to the already very favorable auguries of success. Time will show.

A Van Buren Senator has declared, in this city, his opinion that Harrison will sweep Ohio by 20,000 majority, and carry Indiana and Illinois without an effort. The Harrisonian party is increasing beyond measure. For example: eight individuals, in one place we have heard of, have abandoned Van Buren, and espoused the cause of Harrison, Liberty, and the Constitution. Thus rolls the ball in every direction, and victory is the word.
