TOUCHING the question of what will
be President Harrison's attitude to-
ward the South, Hon. w. H. kitchin
says this in the Scotland Neck Demo-
cIat:
The South has nothing to fear from
Harrison and nothing to hope for. He
dare not, he cannot, invade the States.
The constitution and his oath will hold
him in check. And if they should not;
public opinion will. Every motive
and inducement is on his side to Win
over and capture the South, rather
than ALLEVIATE and drive her off. Have
no fears of Harrison. He does moi
belong to the extreme wing of the Re
publican party; and if he did he i:
powerIess to lay his hands upon us.
