After three days reflection, the worthy Chairman Of
the Wing Central Committee has determined 10 work
himself up to burst of virtuous Indignation at the
ISLANDER contained in the Address oil The Democratic
Central Committee. The Address appeared on Friday
perhaps Mr. Leigh did not see it, he does not read the
Enquirer if he did, he might turn from the error Of
his ways Saturday, he did not have time 10 get IN 4
passion he was at Court-bu Sunday he had 1t all 10
himself no Court, Church, at least for himl-how
he could rave and swear And out he comes on Mon
day morning curvetting on his Rosnante 10 take a tilt
in behalf Of iniurcd innocence. Sancho Pau1a Is
not far behind hm.-lr. Leigh and his committee
are not quite strong enough 10 give "tat contra.
diction to this "monstrous ialseood, hut Mr. Flee.
tor LYONS must have Il word 10 say $50 IA. as
he is concerned" Perhaps very few persons know
who Mr. Eector Lyons Is, and his denuncations
NAV not have their due effect. We will inform them

years at the Richmond Bar has risen 10 respectable
grade in his profession ant hHShdd ty nsdry ,rh0e
psars experience IN pOiHicaihJs This is the gentle
man who springs forward into the osicous.y

citizens all of whom, as gentlemen, are al least h..
equals and many of whom in station, in talents, and
the puhiic confidence, UNNECESSARILY his superlors But
unfortunate Democratic Committee call upon the trees

But let us see what has raised this tempest IN

have been made every Democratic paper IN the
Union since the proceedings Of the Harrisburg
Convention; they nor nGr 10 the farS Of the m0deM
