Mr. ED'ToR The democratic candidate to
represent the fifth District in the next Con-
gress, James C. Dobbin, Esq, addressed his
fellow citizens of Johnston county, at Smith
field, to-day. He introduced his harangue, of
something over an hours length, by stating
that he had not sought the position which he
occupied, but had consented to become CALI
didate in obedience to the wishes of the Dis
trict, as expressed in Convention. He pro-
ceeded in his peculiarly happy and impressive
manner, to expose the doctrines OF the WING
and democratic parties-pointed out their dit
ference, and ably sustained and illustrated his
views in preference of the latter.
In speaking Of the position of this country
and practice of Eng land on the subject Of the
acquisition of terrltory-the probabilities OF a
war on account of any action which the Uni
ton with these territories, the orator was tru-
ly eloquent; and if the countenance be an in
dex of feeling, his hearers of all parties felt,
that in the hour of her danger, they would be
found on the side of their country. Mr.. D..
fully sustained on this occasion his hi gin repu-
taion as an eloquent popular speaker. wish
that circumstances would allow him to 60 not
only into every county in the District, but In
to different sections of every county, and teach
ambitious political aspirants OF every creed,
that if they can by mildness, forbearance, and
devotion to their country's interest, promote
her true glory, it will prove the safest and
most commendable road to that other gaol
their own fame and promotion.

The Mecklenburg JetIersonian, in com
menting upon the proceedings Of the Con
vention which nominated Mr.. Fisher as +;
candidate for Congress, says: "The
speech Of Amos Weaver, Esq, was well
delivered, and seemed to produce very
powerful effect among his hearers. He
commenced by giving his reasons for quit.
ting the Jackson ranks in 1884 and joining
the federelists-or, true republicans. as he
then thought them to be, and as they pro.
fessed TO be. After lie got into their ranks
he remained there up to 1910, when he be-
gan to discover the tendency Of their doc.
trlnes-their fraud and Hypocrisy in pro-
Tossing to be republicans. Becoming tho.
troughiy satisfied that he had been set!uced
into the ranks Of the Federallsts, and was
supporting doctrines to which he had at
heart always been opposed, he broke the
shackles of party, and returned again to
the Democratic fold, where he intended
tor the future to labor increasingly, and
thus endeavor to atone for past errors.-
And he called upon his wing friends who
heard him, and who, like himself, had
once been in the republican ranks, but had
strayed from the true path, to join with
him in now unfolding the true principles
OF the Constitution, by forwarding the sue
cess of the only rea! American party-the
Democracy. He said one single fact ought
to show every patriot that he should be
found under the Democratic banner. In
every controversy we have with foreign
governments, said Mr.. W., you find the
leaders of the WING. or federal party, TAX
ing sides against their own government.-
What did they in 1912 I'm our subse-
quent disputes with England, France, and
now with Mexico! This is enough for
me- said he, and should make every true
hearted American loathe connection with
such a party. But we canno, do the speak
erJustice in this hasty sketch. His speech
was an able one, and was received with
rapturous applause by the Convention"
