l1CAN PARTY,
The tina has been In the history of tAla
country when official patronage might,
In tho banda OF IN unscrupulous magistrate,
be used successfully in controlling public
elections. But that time las passed, and,
let us hone, forever. Formerly men were
selected, at least for 5udicll ofllcc. bccauso
of their personal worth, fur their integrity,
for their experience IN. and their knowledge
Of, public ntfuirs. The man gave dignity to
the position, and the position gave to the
man IN influence which public confidence In
him justified. Then an otllce.Aollcr under
the United States, having been selected be-
nal Integrity, was looked upon us man
whose advice it would be safe to adopt, and
whose example 1t would be wise to follow. As
personal fealty to the appointing power was
not then price Of official station, an Office
holder who thought the good opinion of hts
ncishbors to bc Of value, aud who thought
lad no hesitation In telling them frankly his
nrlniDn nf nrtTf MEAS nd
quently having the full confidence Of those
around him, always exercised considerable
weight in influencing aud directing public
Then an Executive who proposed personal
fealty Us part of the of1cial bond, would
have been hootcd at by respectable society,
and the man who would accept office on such
terms would have justly considered himself
as party to an act Of dishonor. But the
change has been wrought. Executives,
whose sensibilfties have been blunted By the
eS1geneics of party politics, aud who
have thought that denominations were an
Gid justifyins any means, have gradually
swept away the cid class Of oflice-holdcrs,
= ANIL; selecting other men Of other qua1ifl-
cations have destroyed all that controlling
influence which once was incidental to the

personal allegiance to the President one Of
the qualifications for federal office, and John
Tyles's example, vicious as it WAS, has been
followed with additional vicIousncss by the
>'humble individual who is now President
Of the United States. John TyIcs's Office
holders never had, personally or officially,
the slightest possible influence upon public
sentiment III political matters, and
Andrew Johnkon's o1Ilcc-holdezs, as
long rs they retain office under
him. will have II possible less. In the
case ofJohn Ty1cr's officers the men appoint
ed were not abjnring Wings, but out-and out
Democrats; the Democratic party counte-
nanccd tue strategy ofquartcring ou the Gu
cllty, willie the Wings found comfort in the
knowledge that the Offices were 1lira by men
who despised Tyler as strongly as they did.
Now. however, the Offices are not filed by
Democrats, nor arc they llled Dy Rcpubll-
cans, but arc tllled by Johusonitcs. These
Johnsonites in Office arc known by ul1 parties
10 he separate and distinct in things political
from the rest Of their countymcn. They
constitute the rank and Alc Of a new and dis
tlnct party in which no one not holding an
office or expecting an Office, has the slightest
Interest. It is impossible for them 10 exercise
political influence, They arc Johuson men
because they arc olIlcc.holdcrs; they do not
cxrcct a virtue IN other men thew have not
themselves. and therefore they know thnt
