DR.. Leach ssd the Richmond Examiner.
The remarks Of the Hon. j. 7. Leach in the House
of Representatives in relation to the Richmond Ez.
aminsr, having been unsupported and misrepresent-
ed we publish them below as delivered:
Mr.. SpEAKER:-I rise to question of personal
privilege. regret it. There is point in all hu
man transactions at which silence ceases to be a
virtue. That point has been reached between the
Richmond Examiner and myself During the last
session Of Congress was freqnsntly made the sub
ject of the bitter animadversiOns of this press l
bore it in silence; but the contemplate poltroons
have renewed their attacks on nae. Now, Mr. Speak
er, desire to say, without excitement, hatred or
i'll will, that regard the Richnoud Examiner rs a
low, pitiful dirty, scurrilous Sheet aad as common
sewer Of falsehood and infamy. understand, sir,
the President has had some approximations for his
personal safety. Now, let me Say to that high
functionary, through some kind friend, that if he
will break up this sewer of falsehood he need not
have fears in the future. When say this I do not
mean to advise him to put the Editors in the army,
for they might soon be found in position more
congenal to their disposition-giving aid and corr
fort to the enemy. When say break them up
mean hang them up with cord of porcupine gull !,
and lash them with thong Of scorpions, until the
are dead, dead, dead-and then turn them over to
their rghtiul owner, the father of lies.

T. Leach in our paper today, written at the request
of the members of the General Assembly from the
County of Johnston, giving his views on the state
of the country.
There is no truer Conservative or truer patriot
than Dr. Leach. The shafts of subsidized press,
and of politicians who boast of their patriotism,
but do not incur the risk and trouble Of showing it
by facing the enemy, are constantly flying at
him. but they strike only to glance from his breast
plate of truth and high moral courage. His char
acter as friend of the people, and an advocate
ofState rights and of peace will live while that Of his
assailans will be forgotten, be remembered only
to be held up to the reprobation of all who love
justice and liberty. "Cease vipers ye bite file. u
