Removals from Once.
The Albany Evening Journal quotes, with the
above title an article from the Republic and annex
es the following comments or the policy of admin
istration:
"The course of the Administration commends il
self to every rght-thnking man, whether Wing or
Locofoco The removal Of turbulent political OPP
Any administration would be embarrassed by being
surrounded by its enemies The epstles written
by those who have been elected from the depart
ments, and published in the Union, exhibit the vim
d'ctve character of their authors Men harboring
the malice which those epstles embody, could not
be trusted Not only would no official secret be
safe IN their keeping, but the prompt performance
OF no duty could be expected, If lis neglect would
result in embarrassment or disgrace to the Admin
lstration. Those who have spoken, denounce Gen.
TAYLOR as an 'imbecile.' Who doubt, had the
opportunity been given them, that they would have
so acted as TO aid in confirming that opinion To
have retained such men in Office would have been
outrage upon sound policy and strict Justice
Their removal is indicative Of a determination TO
carry the pledge of change of mem as well as
'change of measures The work, however, has
been but begun. Its active prosecution is expected
Nor will that expectation fail.
"a change Of men, particularly in the depart
ments, was necessary Cor another and very potent
reason. Frauds have been perpetrated, which can
only he exposed by thorough sitting of the public
records There is no doubt that subordinates as
well as principals have been parties to these frauds
New men, with no motives TO cover up iniquity,
necessary TO develope their character and mag
ntude Men who could speak of Gen. TAYLOR as
some of those who have been displaced have spoken
of him, must be pretty thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of rascalty. If they would not steal them
aolv 10 mot unc rotl 10 ,kot,
would. for consideration, cover up the thefs of
others. BY dsplacing men of this character frauds
have been already detected, and others will be.
"But there is still another reason for change of
men, The Wing party has been prescribed
party for thirty years. When John Quincy Adams
came into power, he found nearly all the public
Offices filled by his enemies. But his policy was
that of forbearance. He repudated the doctrine Of
rotation Those in Office who warred against him
before his election, continued to do so afterwards
He strengthened their hands in this warfare. The
whole patronage of the Administration was used to
destroy it. Those whom it fostered, rendered it
comparatively powerless. A change of measures
was often defeated because there had not been pre-
viousy "a change Of men, Nor was this injudi-
cious forbearance recprocated. Upon the recur-
renee Of the Presidential canvass, not only were
Mr.. Adams friends, Out of Office, parayzed by his
forbearance, but his enemies in Office made united
and successful effort against him.

Many Of those appointed during that brief period
were removed soon after.
SPY eHectlng "a change of men, Gen. TAYLOR
will al once crafty his friends, do right and serve
his country. 1t is expected. Public sentiment will
abundantly sustain him in it; because by doing so,
not only are political enemies displaced and poti-
cal friends rewarded, but the rock upon which the
administration of Mr.. Adams split will be averted,
and an influence created which will not lead to a
speedy restoration of either the the

The Fall Campaign.
The time draws near when preparation must be
made by the Wings of this State for the Novem-
Der election Although we are not to choose
Governor and Lieutenant Governor the entire list
OF State officers is to be elected-a consideration
which should rouse the energies and call forth the
whole strength of the party
Unlike our political opponents, We suffer from
distracting feuds, and are threatened with de-
feat by no intestine divisions In the coming con-
test we will yield cordial, unanimous, and trium-
plant support 10 our ticket.
Meanwhile warn our friends against relying
for success upon the family quarrels of the Loco
focos. Although now, and for considerable time
back divided, that unscrupulous unprncipled party
making desperate efforts TO reunte its discovered
fragments In TINS IL may succeeu, TOT ''tne cone
sive power Of public plunder," which has so long
bound il together, cannot be supposed to have lost
It's influence. Let US place our trust in our own
union, harmony, and efforts, and in any real or
supposed mIsfortunes of our opponents.
Besides the maintenance of Wing ascendency IN
our State, 1t is duty TO support and sustain
the National Administration. A lending Locofoco
has proclaimed that opponents have ceased to
exist as National party, declaration which ap-
pears 10 be fully sustained by the SIGNS Of the
times The Wings, on the contrary, are truly
National IN their principles, their objects and their
organization. No dIsractng differences threaten
us with disunion. Our sagacious and patriotic
President has taken ground which is satisfactory to
all sectons and all interests We have elected the
National Administration trIumphanty, and IT is our
duty to sustain and strengthen it.
The principles upon which We elected General
TAYLOR are acceptable to the people all over the
Union. BY adhering to them and avoiding sec
tional chickering's we shall maintain our elevated POI
sition, and carry out those beneficial measures
which have always characterized Wing policy
Let union, harmony, and energy be our watch
words, and the success of the universal Wing party
our aim
