Rg Nv A. H,np1s who has for

time been the editor of the Washington
Union, in retiring from that position,
which he has SO ably filled, publishes
the following card
To THE PUBLIC. The proper man
agement of my private affairs, uncon-
nected with the editorial duties of the
Union, has rendered it necessary that |
should relieve myself of its laboys. l
have accordingly sold my entire interest
in the Union newspaper establishment to
Cornelius Wendell, Esq, by whom it
will in future be published.
My editorial duties commenced soon
after the able and experienced states
man now at the head of the government,
was placed in the Presidential chair. !
knew that the labors, the difficulties, and
the responsibilities of the position would
be great-and they have even been
greater than | anticipated But | have
met them with honest purposes, and with
such ability as l could command. have
faithfully endeavored to sustain a Demo
cratic administration in its wise ard pat
riotic efforts to carry out successfully,
Democratic principles and measures. -
And / canot forbear to say, that although
the opposition to the policy of the Pres
ident has been one of the Gercest and
most unsparing that was ever urged
against any administration-and much
of it, too, from quarters where he had
right to expect nothing but aid and sup
port-yet, the policy which he is pur-
suing, and the measures which he has
wisely suggested, will be triumphantly
successful. The evidence of this, is
every day coming up from the people
and the press, from all parts of the coun-
try. The administration will be sus-
tanned. The true Democracy, North ana
South, will again be united and harmo-
NOUS And the patriotic, the conserva-
tive, and the Union-loving of all parties
will support the President in his efforts
TO sustain the honor and promote the
general welfare of the country.
My brethren of the press welcomed
my advent into the editorial corps, with
n kindness and courtesy, and have con-
tinued, with few exceptions, to treat me
with a consideration and fairness, which
will ever command my grateful remem-
brance. And now. | take my leave of
them, and the readers of the Union,
with the warmest feelings of kindness
and respect.

NEWSPAPER HONESTY. The editors of
the Rochester (Ncw York; Democrat,
r state that during the twenty years that
2 that paper has been published, there has
/ accumulated an indebtedness on its books
in subscriptions of $50, goo.
This sum is, in itself, sufficient for
tune for any reasonable man. And the
statement shows how little honesty is
considered necessary by men in their in
tcrcourse with newspaper proprietors-
as though to cheat printer we're not as
great crime as to cheat shoemaker,
Or grocer, or a haberdasher.
IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE CoURT OF
APPEALs.-In the Court of Appeals at
Annapolis on the 4th inst, in the case
Of John A. Sansbury VS.. Charles s. Mid
dleton, an appeal from the Circuit Court
Of Prince Georges county, it was dcci-
ded that the old clerk (Middleton) was
elected for the fall term of six years,
and not to fill the unexpred term Of his
deceased predecessor, Mr.. Norfolk. Mr..
Sansbury, who was elected at The last
general election, to fill said office thus
loses his case. Under this decision. all
clerks elected to fill vacancies caused by
death or resignation are entitled to serve
for the full term of six years.
NATIONAL FoUxDERY. Our attention
has been called to the following resolu-
ton which was adopted in the Senate of
the United States on the 9Th inst, on the
motion Of Hon. A. Kennedy:
Resotced, That the committee on mil
itary affairs be instructed to inquire into
the eligibility Of Weverton, in Mary
land, as a site for a national foundery.
Our readers viii rccollect that when
the report Of the Secretary of Var recon-
mending the establishment of nation
al foundery was first published we re-
marked that Maryland would have some
thing to say about it. The adoption of
this resolution we regard as the first
move in that direction.-Snn.
