EA The Washington Repubhc. hitb-

EE The Washington Republic, hith-
erto an able wing paper, commences
new series on the first of July, "with some
little change in its plan to adapt it to
what are believed to be the wants of the
time The publishers say: " The Re.
D1bltc will remain devoted to the same
political principles which it has support
cd under the administration of Mr..
FILLMORE These principles correspond
entirely with those of the last WurG
National Convention. and substantially
with those of the Inaugural Address of
President PIERCE. The Republic will
make no opposition TO the present Adj
minstration on any ground that it has
occupied in its initial manifesto
However reluctant ardent Democrat
ic partisans may be to admit this truth,
the Republic is undoubtedly correct in
its statement Of the coincidence of the
general policy thus far avowed and pur-
sued by President PIERCE with that OF
his Wing predecessor This fact is by
no means discreditablc to the new Ex-
ecutive. Its assertion is a high compli.
ment. The administration of Mr.. FILL
MORE was indeed model admnistra.
ton, and as such will go down to histo-
ry.
There is however, ono important diff
ference between the two administrations
in the motives, namely, which appear
to have governed each in the bestowment
OF executive patronage. To President
PIERCE, the appointments in his gift
seem to appear in the light of so mucl
capital to be rrudently invested for the
Democrat tic party. His predecessor
gave serious offence to many of his own
party by his Indifference to all such tao
tics Of the mere politician.
