qnet the South until the election is over, when he will
come out boldly with them. Again, in the Wing pro.

varions parts Of the [. Statcs-lrom Indiana, y. Caro-
lima, Virginia, &c, asking him for his opinions-and
others calling on him TO contradict the rumors afloat
about his going over to Harrison. In this situation,

always has done. $50 numerous were those appeals,
