The ' Federal patronage in North Carolina is now for the most part "distributed in such a manner as to weaken and de stroy our strength. The course of this administration in regard to patronage in this state so far mav be safely said to hae cost us 10,000 votes. The "co hesive power of public plunder," and the morbid desire to hold office, has brought us to tbe brink of destruction. We have in our state many as desper ate as Guiteau on the office question They think of nothing except, office, and what influence money may bring.

Garfield attained the ex alted station of lhe chief magistracy of this Republic, the record of his life was f miliar to tbe people as that of few of his predecessors had been. He was a "divinely gifted roan," who had battled his way upward from a low eBtate until he had become - '"on foi lane's crowning slope '. The pillar of a people's hope, . The centre oi a world's desire." : The struggles through' which he had passed, the successes which he bad won in making "by fprce his merit known" had made his career one 6f special in terest to all classes.

But a greater distinction than any of these awaited the devoted wife asd mother.

District, addressed to tho National Republican a letter, which appeared in our issue of May 4. tit discussed Virginia politics, strongly urged that' a Readjuster con vention be held, and that the ticket therein nominated; be indorsed by the Republicans in astate convention of meir own. ue Pciieveo most luiiy in coalation, but not lio vamalgama'Jon.-- Let us make this plain. ' Gen. Mahone favored a single autl-Bourbon state cou veolion, the delegates to which should be chosen by all voters, without regard to previous party affiliations, who were opposed to the Bourbon Funder parly. This he called amalgamating all the anli-Boarbon elements. This was op posed ty some Republicans, who fa- vored coalition but not amalgamation. They wanted a Republican state con vention to bo held and indorse the Re- adjusters. Tbe reason given by -them was mat it was necessary to have a state convention) of the Republican party in order to j keep up the party Gen. Wickham s name has long been conspicuous among tbe Virginia Re publicans, tin the whole south j there was no leader of that party who had so many claims to public f respect. ' It is an astonishing spectacle in American politics, the present coalition betwecu Mahone and the Virginia Republicans on a platform of repudiation. Seduced by Alanone rod by tbe promise of pat ronage from Washington, they have have concluded to follow the bargain of lhe Republican, Senators with the repudiator by snaking one of their own. Tbe movement has broken up the Re publican party in 'the state "wiped it out,"ia the expressive language in some quarters. And now Geo. VVk kham has declared for the debt-paving; ticket.
