POLITICAL BARIERINe AND TRAD

Whenever a political party commence
purchasing new converts with the blood OF
It's veterans, it evinces a desperation and an
ingratitude which presages dissolution and
death. No party can maintain separate
existence by bartering or trading, or expect
to win battles by relying on phantoms. The
efforts Of the Arthur administration to sell
out The Republican party of the South to
such Democrats as can be purchased with
government patronage, has aroused the in
dignation Of the veteran Republicans who
have for twenty years fought the battles
when il cost something 10 be Republican,
and who by every principle of right, Justice
and gratitude are entitled 10 the honors and
emoluments of office. In all the Southern
States the SCARED veterans of the Republi-
can party are protesting against the injustice |
of the system of bartering and trading which |
sacrifices them and rewards the new coz
verts who have, as Bourbon Democrats, perse
cuted and ostracised them. The effort to
transfer the Missouri Republicans to a coal
ition by which the renegade Democrats were
TO become dispensers OF the Federal patron
age legitimately belonging 10 the Repub-
lican party, was an ignominious failure.
The Republicans of Arkansas rejected a
similar proposition. In Alabama, Mis.is-
sippf and Virginia the Republican dray |
horses are asking what incentive is there 10
party devotion when they are excluded from
the Republican banquet table, usurped by
men who they say have pursued them with
beastly ruffianism for years. And now the
Hon. D. A. Jenkins, an original Republican
of North Carolina, denounces the base use
to which the Republican party has been
prostituted. In a recent letter to J. s. Heilig
he says:

The position taken by Ham Carter in Mis- d.

Iahones and Chalmerses of the South is some al
