The following address to the subscribers OF the
Washington Republic is the leader in that paper
Of yesterday, and contains the reasons for the
change just made in its editorial department;
To the FIVE and twenty thousand subscribers
who during the last ten months have enrolled them,
selves upon our lists, we feel that We owe word
by way OF explanation Tor the course tnat We deem
it our duty 10 pursue.
With the present number The Republic posses
into other editorial hands II Is sufficient for US 70
saw that personal differences exist between our
selves md members OF the Cabinet, that are lncon
sisteut with the relation in which we stand towards
President TAYLOR and the W HIG party. In TINS
state Of things and with the determination to IN
,eDosa no obstacle 10 the preservation Of harmony
and GOOD viii between President TAYLOR and the
WuiGs we have thought it our duty to Withdraw
from q position in which we can no longer maintain
silence in our view of certain controverted ques-
tors. consistently with selfrespec Personal Tor.
tunes we can sacrifice without regret-poiitlcal
associations and relations are TOO sacred 70 De III
fed with or abandoned.
In taking leave Of our friends it is proper that we
should saw that our confidence in President Taylor
is uninpaired and that the sentiment which has
induced Us TO devote the volunteer services OF
wears in his cause remains as ardent and as unai'
loved as when we first took the held In bis oenat'
In his personal ntegrity-in his unseltsh patriot,
lsm-ln DIS DhLlOnhllby,
bonor-we retain an undminished confidence ana
had we not reason to believe that this sentiment IL
fnllv reciprocated we should never abandon the
nosi,on which we surrender only from our defer
ence 70 his feelings and our unbounded respect
IL rsSsrence COR his character and his services.
In taking leave OF our friends, personal and polit-
;csl-mapy of them connected with US by the men,
cries oftwenty years of common struggles and vi
cis,itudes-we cannot omit to commend our sue
cas,or 20 their kindest regards and their warmest
favor. We know that Mr.. Hall is entitled to their
confidence and esteem. He has ever been, like
ourselves a warm, earnest, and unfaltering adyo-
cate of WING principles, WIG measures, and
WING men From circumstances, which 1t Is not
necessary for us to mention, it is within his power
10 preserve the relations which ought to exist be-
tween the party and IL acknowledged opponents.
He possesses the con ace which We have failed
to solicit or obtain-and he occupies position in
which it is entitely in his power to reconcile out
side differences with the internal economy OF the
Cabinet. We take great pleasure, therefore, in
commencing him to the kind wishes of our numer-
Gus 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 a.
ways be ready to serve according to our convic-
tions, the PARTY and the COUNTRY.
