The Presidents TITLE.-A writer in the
Worcester Palladium gives an account of
Washington's visit to that place in lTS0, the
first wear Of his presidency, The fact that
A lulsomc title was conferred upon him will
be new to many 1t may be remarked
tbatno such title was used in formally adj
dressing Washington, as he himself direct
ed that communications for him should he
directed ITO the President of the United
States, in the simple and appropriate form
still in use. The writer says:
Washington was then 81 years and S
months old lie wore brown dress, my
father told me, and was an transformations,
plain, sedate citizen, Notwithstanding the
people generally addressed him and spoke
Of him as His Royat HgAness lie President
And | may as well relate, in passing,
how this title happened to be applied to
Washington
When on his way from Virginia to New
York, previous to his Inauguration, he stop
ped to dine at the house Of Dr. Shipper, in
Philadelphia. Several gentlemen were at
the table-among whom was Mr. Madison
and Judge Mexican. Mrs. Shippen inquir-
ed what waste be the title of the President
Some one suggested that of Ills Serene
HlgkNeSs; but as that was appropriated
abroad, it was discarded. A discussion
arose on the propriety Of any title Mr..
Madison thought that nothing could he so
appropriate, aud so much in keeping with
The character Of our republican institutions,
as the plain designation The Presidc1.
Judge Mexican went in strong for title,
and suggested that Of lis HighHesS. Wash.
ington himself was in favor Of some title,
and intimated the pcrtincncy Of that of the
Stakeholder Of Holland, HIS DEgA,y High
HeS. But Judge McKean's suggestion met
with the most favor.
