CAME UNDER I HAVE FAITHFULLY PER-
FORMED.
VIM. HENRY HARRISON"
In his Cheviof speech, delivered July
4, 1888, General Harrison said !:
"Should / be asked ifthere is no way
by which the General Government can aid
the cause of emancipation, answer that
it has long been an object near to my heart
to see the ultole Of ats surplus reuenue ap-
p,opriated to that object. With the sane
ton of the States holding slaves, there ap-
pears to me to be no constitutional objection
to its being thus applied, embracing not
only the colonization of those that may be
otherwise free, but the purchase of the
freedom of others. By jealous prose-
cution of plan formed upon that basis,
we might look forward to a day not uery
distant, uhen North American sun soilt
not look dopa upon Slauc."
After this no one could accuse General
Harrison of any leaningin favorof South
ern institutions, and those who had sus-
pected hin, of it, became satisfied, and
ceased their ciamor. He was proud of
his Abolitionism, and looked forward to
the day when the schemes Of the Abolition
lists could be consummated. The avow-
al of such sentiments, from one who has
neither fanaticism nor ignorance to plead
in extenuation of them, and who acts from
deliberate policy, must be alarming to all
the true friends of the South. That the
Abolitionists themselves were satisfied
with General Harrison's orthodoxy on this
point, is proved by many circumstances
attending his nomination for the Presiden-
cy. Stevens, Ritner, Burrows, Penrose,
the Pennsylvania anti-masonic and abolition,
leaders, were the most influential in bring
ing about his nomination, to the exclusion
of General Scott and MIR. Clay. Mr.. Clay
was sacrificed in the Convention to the
interests of the Abolitionists. No one del
egation from the Southern States voted
for General Harrison. He was the nonn-
inee of Aboltionists. The following is a

From tie temperance Advocate.
L1MEsroNE SPRINGS, Sept. /

.
Mr.. Editor:-Through h our friend Mr..
LAW, sent you hasty note from Ruther-
fordton. now take up my pen little
more al leisure, 10 make you acquainted
more fully with the prospects of Temper
ance in the mountains. .
The Convention which assembled at
Ashville seemed to me to act with one
spirit, every thing W vs. done with single
ness of heart for the promotion of the cause
of Temperance. The. establishment of
their Periodical, although destructi.e Of
my prospect Of obtaining subscribers for
your paper, when found it could be pub
ished al so low rate as so cents:per an
mum, met with my hearty concurrence. II
seemed to me to be another means of car
rying "glad tidmgs" to the poor, and as
such, entitled to the hearty welcome Of
every Philanthropist. 80
took no note Of the proceedings, and
cannot give.you the statistics of the inter-
esting report presented by Mr.. McAnilly.
The different Temperance Societies repre-
sented, were, think, set down as being
numerous, and devoted 10 tile cause. The
autnor Of The Report, Mr.. McAnilly, is the
Presiding Elder ftllat circuit, in the Me.
thodist denomination and was delight
ed to see leader in that numerous, uni
ted, and devoted body of Christians, stand
ing up so boldly, as an advocate for lem
perance Societies. The Methodists from
their origin have been the friends Of Tenn
perancc, but has only been Of late, that
many Of them have seen their way clear 10
come Up to the help Of the Lord, in the
mighty battle which Temperance Socie-
ties are waging against drunkenness. L
hope that all their ministers and their peo-
pie will be hereafter, as one in this glori-
ous cause.
The people of Bunco,nbe who attended
the Convention, and the yisiters 10 the
Mountains, who were at Ashville, appear
ed to ne to be impressed most iavorably
in-the cause Of Temperance. Two little
boys, and a most interesting and lovely
young lady, pressed their par ienrs 10 sub
scribe for your paper, and to then, you are
indebted for three out of four subscribers
l sent to you. When this fact presented
itself to my mind, was reminded of that
beautiful passage in the Psalms, "out OF
the mouth of babes and sucklings thast
thou ordained strength. because of their
enemies, tha. thou mightest still the ene-
nv and the avenger." Howtru as well
as beautiful Children are rising up in
the cause Of Temperance, to still the en-
envy and the avenger," the most cruel en-
emy and avenger ofthe human race drum
kenness. To this reflection arises another
still more interesting The virgin purity,
and spotless innocence of our young and
lovely sisters, throughout the land, are
like the young lady to whom have refer
red, on our side in this mighty cause.
With the innocence of childhood, and the
intense deyotcdness of woman to aid US,
what need we fear all that The workers Of
iniqui,y can do; especially when we know
