: afraid TO meet him, yet we believe tn
fact TO be the other way--and assert tina
Mr.. Henry is no way inclined to meet Gov
Morehead if he can decently avoid ito
else he would have made his appearance,
IN iilllsborough. And that the Loco 70
COS were not anxious for Mr.. Henry t
meet Gov. Morehcad in Fayetteville, W,
I. may also infer from the fact that they be
gan to circulate the report that the Wing,
did not intend to give Mr. Henry a chance
for reply. But as soon as it was known
that he was expected to reply it was re.
ported that he was sick, but he was SC
completely freed that he could not back
out and another thing the Wings requested
him TO address the meeting. We never
had ANY fears about their meeting and be-
ileyed that Gov. Morchead was able TO
bear alolt with success the Wing standard,
and that he would DO it with honor to him.

disappointed IN cur expectation is fully evil
