Native and Adopted Citizens.

We regret extremely to see communica-
tion in the Sentinel signed "Western Re-
publican" which is calculated to array the
native anu adopted citizens of the State
against each other. 1t is to be deplored
that such feeling should exist at all among
any portion of our people; but is especi-
cially to be regretted that any one calling
himself Republican should give expression
to such sentiments. The Republican party
knows no North, no South, no East, no
West, and knows no distinction between men
on account of color or former condition.
There should he but one test for office and
that one test should be MERIT" Break
down this principle, array sectional prejudi-
ces and prejudces of race inside the Republi-
Can ranks and the party is not only destroyed
but will become an object of ridicule and
Contempt for all future time One of the
principal means adopted by the opposition
to break down the party In North Carolina
has been an attempt to create bitterness On
thC pau vi wi poPuial"u
our adopted citizens. Could they have sue
ce.ded in their purpose, instead of two Re-
publican Senators from North Carolina, we
should be unrepresented in that body or rep
resented by the creatures of such lnen as
Ashe and Bragg. Any attempt to make
this distinction between native and adopted
citizens for whatever purpose deserves the
severest censure. 1t is giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy in assisting them to pro-
duce dissension among ourselves. Our po-
lItical antagonists have signally failed in
their attempts to raise this issue heretofore
and we are satisfied that any other attempt
of the same kind will be met with as sig
nal discontinue. If Northern gentlemen
are to be driven from the Republican party
on account oil their nativity, it may be de-
pended upon with the certainty of fate that
the rebel Democracy will take no such sui.
cidal step.
