-Dr.heael- on the War.Rashs ssss'

Fellow citlzsns of Johnson !, County, we
read somewhere in Roman mythology OF
mountain which made a great noise and
brought forth q mouse. And Dr. u. J.;
! Leach, of johnson County, is making still
louder noise and he brings forth nothing 1ol
the good of himself politically, or his party,
4 Like meteor, at random in the armament,
uncontrolled by the laws OF gravitatlon, nc
is neither controlled nor governed ny Prln-
ciple. nor good policy politically, and
might well say not by good common sense.
He is like Peters sick pig eating what ne
once threw up. Hear him. in Raleigh on
the 9th of March, 1867. He was then a
reconstructionist. bgi
"He conquered with Mr.. Dick. He desired
to act from the present on the basis of Union,
Liberty and Equality, (cheers) which motto
was written above the Speakers stand, and
we might add to that, he said, that other
memorable sentiment, "the Union the Con
stitution and the enforcement of the Laws!''
(Great applause.) We came here to har-
monte and start anew. Let every true pat
riot without regard to race or color assist in
this work of restoration. He wished to
reach the promised land of rest, where peace,
prosperity and plenty would again smile
upon us. In order to do this we must have
one purpose in view: strict compliance with
the laws of Congress. There is no use to
cavil about terms. They have been laid
down-we must accept them. He advised
all to do SO as cheerfully as he did and the
labors would be light in comparison to past
sufferings, and the future measures of Con-
gress which threaten the Southern people.
Should we go back, he for one would find a
hearty welcome he knew in bis fathers home
by the Potomac There would be rejoicing
when the prodlgal returned the fatted calf
should be killed. He could see nothing
humiliating in those terms more than in
many other things in the past now almost
forgotten. Indeed our sins have been great
in comparison to their punishment."-IRat.
Standard, (ertra), March 28th, 1867.
He then applauded Congress he now
abuses it. He then thought the Republican
party would clothe him with official power;
he has proved himself unworthy of the con-
fidence of the Government; and the friends
of the government,viz the Republican party,
has and will continue to refuse him or any
man Office who can and will suffer himself
to be used by rebel Democracy as a tool to
break down instead of to perpetuate the
Government of the United States, and the
best interest of her citizens which is protec-
ton to life and property before the law. The
DR.. was then reconstructionist. He is now
rcvolutionist; for hear him at Selma, N.
Con September the 9th, 1868.
"He is opposed to the reconstruction acts,
manhood suffrage, and every thing tending
to the peace and harmony of the United
States Government" Why does the old
doctor act so chameleon-like, when we all
know he is strong "leach man." We all
know heis in favor of Seymour and Blair for
the Presidency, and Dr. ]. T. Leach, of
Johnston county, for Congress. So think
We can safely put him down as strong
Leach man." But, like "Esau of DID," he
has sold his birth right to party which is
opposed to Leachs going to Congress this
year, hence they have nominated one Sion
H. Rogers, and left Leach at home, knowing
he was waiting and ready, Esau like, to have
the next blessing of the Democratic party,
which being blind, like Isaac of old, will
miss blessing themselves, or Leach, in their
own estimation, and bless Grant and Colfax
and Deweese, who like Moses of old,
will make and lead great Republican
nation to the Red Sea of victory on the 3rd
of November next, at which time the Demo-
cratic party, like Pharaoh of old, will perish
amidst the overwhelming mass of loyal
votes which will be hurled against them at
that time. Oh false prophets, Seymour
and Blairites, your doom is sealed, your cpl
taph is written, which is 'Mene, Meme, Tekel
Upharsin." A REPUBLICAN.
