Hence, these tears and lamentalions--ond
hence, this indignant cutlery about selling
men for debt. The mode Of disposing of
offenders, proposed IN Ohio, is not new in
North Carolina. By our own law, q man
convicted of being yagrant is directed to
be hired ont for the costs. (See ReriSed
Statates. chap. "a, sec. t4.) This law has
been in force since l7S4, and the Statute
of which il now forms section, was read
three times IN both houses Of the General
Assembly. and passed, so late as the session
of 1867. YET, you may hear persons
declaiming against Harrison, who voted for
this very law. Why! is vagrant worse
than q thief.
In published letter Of Gen. Harrison in
relation TO This calumny, dated 18th Septem.
Der, 1885,. after stating the charge made
against him for law to sell persons impri.
soned for debts which they we're unable to
satisfy, he expresses himself in these words
=" If vote of that description had been
published, and ascribed to me, It was an
INFAMOUS FORGERY. Such an act
would have been repugnaut TO my feelings,
aud IN direct conflict with my opinions, pub.
lie and private, through the whole course oil
my life. CCF No such proposition was ev'
er submitted 10 the Legislature of Ohio
none such would, for moment, have been
eniertalned- would any son Of hers
have dared 10 propose it.-c0 So far from
being willing to sell men for debts which
they are unable TO discharge, am, and ev
err have been OPPOSED TO ALL IN

abominable lnpulation. Which IS true,
the denial or The accusation! When II can
