r There is nothing for which our excellent 4
and beloved Governor deserves more praise,
than the manly and fearless manner in which
he has done the will of the, Union men Of
North Carolina, in clearing the public Off
ces, as far as his power and patronage ex-l
tends, of the enemies Of reconstruction.
He at length understands the malignant
spirit of these men, and knows that their
hatred of the friends of liberty and equal
rights, and, their deep seated scorn Of the
colored race, have utterly incapacitated
them from being able to fill public offices
| with impartiality and Justice Hence he
has braved the deep and deadly animosity
of the old Rebel aristocracy, and removed,
with firm, but judicious hand, their tools
and sycophants from those positions that are.
within his power. 8.
t., Now, the beneficial effects of such ac-
ton are becoming apparent. Public off
scials are taught to know, and to feel, that
the great Republican party has both the
win and the power to reward its friends
and ;discountenance its enemies, and that
those who persistently set themselves up to
maintain hatred and luminosity among tho
] citizens Of the State, need not hope TO enjoy
the benefits of public positions, in which
they are supported by the taxes paid by the
Whole people. a u.s.

Unfortunately, however, there is large
class of officials in this State appointed un-
| der the patronage of the late Gey. Worth
and his advisers, by President. johnson and
his Cabinet, over whose position our present
Governor has no power. Now, these were,
without exception, the determined and ac-'
tive opponents of reconstruction, and of the
candidates of the Republican party at the
late elections. OUR PEOPLE DEMAND
THEIR REMOVAL JUST AS SOON AS.
GENERAL GRANT AND OUR FRIENDS
/ COME INTO POWER Not one of Worth's
nominees and Johnson's supporters must be
left in office. 4 Let US, for once, get fair play,
and let our Representatives and Senators
| stand up manlully for the, claims of con-
sistent, selfsacrifcing, and true-hearted
Union men, both white and black, otherwise
we assure them they will lose the confidence
/ of their constituents.
The Democratic party cannot complain of
this course They first announced the max
i'm Ito the victors belong the spoils" Give
/
them, then, the benefits of their own teach
ings and example. and do not leave one sim
/ gle public office in this State in the hands of
4 the enemies of Freedom, Education and
Equal Rights. The whole host of Federal
! officers, namely collectors and assessors of
the internal revenue, custom house officers,
/ marsllals, treasury agents, registers in
bankruptcy, postmasters, officers of the
freedmen's bureau, lighthouse keepers, and
all holding places as representatives of the
Federal patronage of North Carolina, at
home or abroad mast be dismissed, and the
| good and faithful friends of Union, liberty
and equal rights put in their places. s
This is what the Republican party de-
mand and what they are determined to
have done, just as soon as the new admins
tration is inaugurated. 81
! Of course, it will not be possible to re-
ward all our friends, or to comply with all
the solicitations for public places which
may be sent forward. but this we can and
must do--distribute, as far as they will go,
among the supporters of the Federal Cow
ernment, taking good care to recommend
no one to q position for which he is not pre-
pared, and always preferring educated and
competent men to those who are untaught
and inexperienced. If this course is fear
lessly pursued, the insolence of impenitent
Rebels will be rebuked, the humble and
faithful Union men will be encouraged,
Northern capitalists will come among us,
I and establish factories and machine shops,
employ our workmen and enrich our State,
whilst the great business of education will
make general progress, and the whole peo-
plelive together in harmony and peace u
