It will afford no little surprise to our citizens to learn that one of their strongest 
anti-Holden candidates, recently elected to the Legislature from this county and Harnett, voted for a 
"straitest sect" died in the wool Holdenite against one of the citizens of this county who, with his 
friends, supported that same anti-Holden candidate! Our people well know that Walter Huske, Esq., of this 
place, was a candidate for Engrossing Clerk. Gen. A. D. McLean, so strictly anti-Holden that all others 
who did not agree with him precisely, were unsound, voted open and above board for Mr. J. T. Leach, a son 
of Hon. J. T. Leach, of Johnston county, for Engrossing Clerk of the Legislature, against Walter Huske. Is 
not this an admirable specimen of consistency?-Fayetteville Carolinian
