TUESDAY MORNING. MAY IA. isSc.
ISee fourth pags.l
To our subscribers.

To the five and twenty thousand sub
scribers who during the last ten months
have enrolled themselves upon our lists,
we feel that we owe word by way of
explanation for the course that we deem it
our duty to pursue.
With the present number the Republic
passes into other editorial hands. II is
sufficient for us to say that personal diff
ferences exist between ourselves and
members of the Cabinet, that are incon-
sistent with the relations in which we
stand towards President TAYLOR and the
WIG party. In this state of things, and
with the determination to interpose no
obstacle to the preservation of harmony
and good will between President TAYLOR
and the WHIGs, we have thought it our
duty to withdraw from position in which
we can no longer maintain silence in our
view of certain controverted questions,
consistently with self-respect. Personal
fortunes we can sacrifice without regret
political associations and relations are too
sacred to be trihed with or abandoned.
In taking leave of our friends, it is pro-
per that we should say that our confidence
in President TAYLOR is unimpaired; and
that the sentiment which has induced us
to devote the volunteer services of years
in his cause remains as ardent and as
unalloyed as when we first took the field
in his behalf. In his personal integrity
in his unselfsh patriotism-in his nation
atty, neutrality, and elevated honor-we
retain an undiminished condolences; and
had we not reason to believe that this SEN
timent is fully reciprocated, we should
never abandon the position which we sur
render only from our Difference to his
feelings, and our unbounded respect and
reverence for his character and his SER,
vices.
and political-many of them connected
with us by the memories of twenty years
of common struggles and vicissitudes-we
cannot omit to commend our successor to
their kindest regards and their warmest
favor. We know that Mr.. HALL is enti-
tied to their confidence and esteem. He
has ever been, like ourselves, warm,
earnest, and unfaltering advocate of WIG
principles, WING measures, and WHIG
men. From circumstances, which it is
not necessary for us to mention, it is
within his power to preserve the relations
which ought to exist between the party
and its acknowledged opponents. He
possesses the confidence which we have
failed to solicit or obtain-and he occu-
pies position in which it is entirely in
his power to reconcile outside differ
ences with the internal economy Of
the Cabinet. We take great pleasure,
therefore, in commencing him to the kind
feelings and wishes of our numerous
friends and subscribers; and we are sure
that while he will be in all things more
considerate, more prudent, and more able
than ourselves, he will in no respect be
wanting to the great cause of TRUTH,
Honor, and the UNION, to which we
have been always devoted, and in which
we shall always be ready to serve, ac-
cording to our convictions, the PARTY and
the COUNTRY.

From the date of the foregoing commu-
nication, ALLEN A. HALL, esq, will be
responsible for the editorial charge of the
Republic. In parting with the gentlemen
who have hitherto controlled its columns,
it is proper that we should say that we re-
tain a confidence which no circumstances
could shake in their fidelity to WING prin-
ciples, in their patriotic devotion, and in
their attachment TO President TAYLOR.
In welcoming Mr.. HALL TO the position
which they have occupied-as we have
reason TO believe with general satisfaction
to the party and the country-we only
bear witness to his well-established WIG
character, and TO our knowledge that he
will in no respect fail TO respond TO the
exigencies Of the party and the expecta-
tons Of the country.

The Ohio Constitutional Convention has
adopted very judiciOus proposition (by
Hon. r. Hitchcock with respect to the State
Debt. Henceforth, should the Constitution
be adopted, the State will raise by taxation
enough to pay its Annual Expenses, the In
terest on its Debt, and 500, 900 annually on
the Principal, Nth compound interest there
6n-that is to say the State pays of $780,
600 of principal the first year, and the same
amount next year, adding the interest 'ohich
it must hare paid on the first 100000 had
it not been paid of'-and so on. Thus, while
the amount to be raised will not increase,
the amount paid will be rapidly enlarged,
and will soon be 100000, then $780, 900,
and so on. We believe this plan is expect.
ed to pay off the entire debt in thirty years,
and leave the State her extensive and in
creasingly productive Public Works free
and clear.
1t is gratifying, in view of the Financial
difficulties of nearly all the DespOts of Eu-
rope, including the treaeherous mountebank
who serves as the tool of the Monarchists of
France, to see how rapidly and buoyantly
all our honest States are surmounting their
recent embarrassments. Five-sixths Of the
States are now out Of debt or annually re-
ducipg their debts. None are disgraCed nor
seriously injured by their late embarrass-
ments but those which undertook to escape
them by plunging into the black gulf of Re-
pudiation. These are kissing and by
word ever more.
The Committee on Apportionment has
reported to the Convention a scheme. 1t
has some good points, but shirks the great
point-Single Districts throughout Cincin-
natl, with 100000 inhabitants rapidly in
creasing) is to have one Senator; while sew
eral other Districts will have scarcely GO, 900.
Reason-to set off portion of the suburbs
to Hamilton County would ensure Wing
Senator from the city. The wretched expe-
dent Of 'Floaters' is resorted tO-a County
will have one Representative this year and
two next; two this year and three next, and
so on. The House seems pretty fairly APP
portioned, Politically; but the Senate is as
badly as can be. Senators 80; Representa-
tives %. We trust both bodies will be en-
larged, and that Single Districts will be
made the infexible rule.

New-Mexieo Free .

The news which we received last night
from Santa Fe via st. Louis, is fully con-
frmatory of that which reached US last
week, via Texas and New-Orleans. If the
particulars be correct New Mexico, so long
neglected by Congress and menaced by her
graspiDg neighbor, has made bold and
grand stroke.
California is thrown into the shade by her
daring in decision and her promptness in
action. Her people have shown spirit and
resolution which was not looked for, and
which, we doubt not, will tell with immense
effect at the present crisis.
The will of such people, once declared,
dare not be lightly set aside. If the glori-
GUS news be indeed true that New-Mexico,
in the face Of Southern Vaccination and
Texan aggression, has forever prohibited
Slavery from her soil--as there now seems
no reason to doubt-what Congress will
dare attempt fastening the curse upon her !?
There may be threats and storms, the resist
aDce of baffled schemers and the rage OF IN
furiated zealots, but People united for
Freedom can stand against them, and bring
under her banner the whole broad extent of
New-Mexico, from the plains of the Gina
rome to the Mimbres, and from Paso del
Norte to the snowy ridges of the Timpan-
ozu Mountains. Thus, State after State,
wrest, d from Mexico in the secret hope of
extending the baleful dominion of Slavery,
will be made impregnable bulwarks of Free
dom. Through means the most unprOmising
to our shortsighted vision, God often works
out his own good end.
We shall no doubt have full details Of the
movements in New-Mexico, within few
days. They will be awaited with general
anxiety, and their effect cannot be other
wise than momentous, at the present stage
of affairs.
