The wings OF New York.

at is very true that the WHIG party now
in New York is not all as we would wish it,
but it is coming right, and that rapidly,

This is the language lately used by the New
York Express, and we are glad TO observe evil
dent and conclusive signs of the truth of the
remark that sit is coming right" in various
sections of that State. We do not think the
opposition TO the Compromise measures is as
general, or as decided as it was, and more
reasonable view of the subject seems to prevail
Time has undoubtedly exercised salutary in
fluence upon the minds Of those who had be-
come strongly imbued with Free-soil notions,
and who had not, perhaps, enjoys opportuni-
ties of coolly and calmly investigating the
whole matter in controversy between the South
and the North, or who, at least, did not fully
understand and appreciate the feelings Of the
South. We trust that time will continue TO
soften prejudices and allay asperties. if any
exist, and bring about right notions and kindly
feelings.
II is evident 10 us, however, that the late
tour If the PRESIDENT and a portion of his Cab

friendly greetings. as well as of expressing pa
triotic sentiments, has produced a favorable ef-

Business In TIL Executive d apartments.


Those not intimately and Familiarity acquaint-
ed with the mode of doing business, and the
amount to be done, in the various Departments
of the Government at Washington, can have
but very faint and imperfect idea upon the
subject. Such people very naturally wonder,
upon sending their business here, why it is not
instantly despatched, and their claims, il any
they have, are not at once either allowed OF
rejected. If they could but take hold of la
boring oar in one Of the bureauX, even for few
days, they would see why delays necessarily
take place-why it is that they cannot have
their business despatched the instant it is pre-
sented. But as all who transmit claims and
other matters to the Departments cannot be-
come acquainted from personal observation, we
have thought we should do them and the Execu
tive officers an acceptable service by publishing
the following letter addressed TO the PRESIDENT
by the Third Auditor, Mr.. GALLAHER, in reply
to a complaint made TO the former against the
latter Of unreasonable delay. II fully explains
the condition of that bureau, and will furnish TO
those at distance, who, like the complainant,
think there is unreasonable delay in the trans
action Of business here, satisfactory reason
therefor.

LICENSE Law IN MAINE.--The provisions Of the
new license law in Maine very stringent. Only
licensed persons, and they only for mechanical
| and medicinal purposes, are allowed to manufac-
ture or sell sprituous liquors. For the first offence
fine Of s 100 is provided, for the second 5000,
and for the third 5000 and four months impri-
sonment. No person engaged in the illegal sale OF
spirtoous liquors is allowed to sit on jury before
which any trial under this act ia held, and such
trials are to take precedence of other business be-
fore the courts. The premises of suspected per-
sons to be searched, and oil liquors not found in
the original packages as imported to be de-
stroyed.
This law is an experiment which NAV lead 10
important political consequences Laws much
less stringent have failed everywhere and we
should think that the difficulties of enforcing this
would prove insupcrabe. Severe penalties which
cannot be enforced, and which are in advance of
public sentiment, are apt to excite sympathy

one of the most difficult problems of the day, and
involves some OF the most intricate questions in
morals and politics. We have seen in this city
every kind of license law, from the unrestricted
sale to total prohibition, and yet the amount Of
spirituous liquors sold never seemed to vary with
the changing laws. 1t is to be regretted that the
subject is not approached in moro charitable tenn

intemperance, and who only look at the best means.

IPREsIpENT FILLmoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
suros Of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system OF compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
sopinions, and that therefore they should be ad
hered to, until time and experience should de-
moustrate the necessity of further legislation t.
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, Sc
q ia- "a know, remains entirely unchan ged, ant
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. Th,
peace ofthe country requires this; the security o
the Constitution requires this; and every conside
ration of the public good demands this If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principle.

Army Appropri.tlon.-Error. Corrsote d

There is nothing like good, plump, conf
dent assertion Of an assumed fact; because if it
fails to carry conviction to the public, yet, ifit
is repeated often enough, it ultimately persuades
| the person who makes the averment. The
| Union, for instance, has so boldly and repeat
| edly styled the administration of General
WASHINGTON democratic" that we suppose
| it by this time entertains no doubt of its accu-
racy in this use Of language. 1t has said so per-
| emptorily that some ''fewn Democrats in the
Ohio Legislature had voted to make Mr.. CHASE
Senator, that we should not be surprised if it
had really blinded itself to the notorious fact
that Mr.. CHASE was elected by the same coali-
ton of Abolitionists and Democrats that elected
Mr.. SUMNER in Massachusetts, The DEMO
CRATIC party in the Legislature, as party,
voted for MIR. CHASE as DEMOCRAT; it was
not the work of few individuals, but of the
whole body of the party.
| But in one of its recent issues the Union has
really gone beyond itself in its freedom of state
ment, when it makes the following allegation:
every man who pretends to conduct a public
journal for public instruction ought to know that
up to the present time all the appropriations for
the army have been voted by Congress. II may,
or it may not, happen that the sum appropriated
to the army for the next year may be inadequate
But time alone can test that fact We insist, how
ever, that, inasmuch as Congress gave General
Taylor's administration all which was demanded
for the army up to the 30th Of this month"; Whig
| administration ia alone and solely responsible,
not only for the employment of those means, but
| for any insuffciency in their amount"
Now, we submit that every man who con-
ducts public journal for public instruction,
ought to know that Congress has not given all
that was demanded by the Administration up
to the 3Oth of this month, because it was re-
peatedly urged upon that body by Mr.. CONRAD
to make additional appropriations for The cur
rent year. On the 9th Of February the Sec
RETARY OF WAR addressed letter to the
