UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
+ COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

"A. CALIFORNIA.
rTNIIE public will be grnufed To learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
ablsd to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants OF travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS 10 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages In no other quarter, and ny
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro ut the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama az soon
az anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
nps, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward. against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed:
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran

THE Issue -LOc0f0co orators, Col.
Medill leading of. are either unconscious
of tho fact that the new Constitution has
been adopted by union Of Radicals,
Temperance men and Free Sellers, or
else think that the people can be gulled
into the belief that they have not yet vot
ed for that instrument and that they can
induce them to vote for Wood, Medill &
Co., under an idea that they are voting
for the new Constitution. To accomplish
their purposes requires combination oI
knavo and foo, and were we inclined to
be personal. we might say that n happy
mixture of the two qualities existed in
the multiplicity of stump orators.
But the instrument has been adopted
and the true question is whether the peo
pie of Ohio, under its provisions, vii
trust the affairs of State to lhuse men
who have used power for their own ad
vaneement. or to that other party which
for several years back has been iaboring
successfully 10 right the ship of State
and prevent its being dashed upon the
rocks to which Locufocoicm was fast hur
rying ii.
Bearing this issue in mind and all sen
sible men will do so. it is only waste o
time and wolds To be eternally harpiny
about things which are not to be decided
upon, instead of coming out boldly an,
discussing measures which naturally &C
cur to every intelligent mind wheneve
allusion is made To the two great parlie
Of the State. The true issue is, "pros
perly or adversely" for so sure as in day
past the interests of tho State sufIere,
under the policy of Locofocoism ant
proSpered under that OF Wings, so sur,
will the same results be Witnessed in III,
future. The same combination exist
now in the Locnfoco party as formerly
the same principle binds its leading mel
together; they fight for the loaves an,
fishes; they make new Constitutions /,
create offices fnr themselves and thel
have the impudence to claim the ofIic
which they create. Their object now /
to finish the work; to get a controlln,
power in the Legislature; to make sucl
regulations and create such salaries a
will bo most likely to inure to their ow,
profit; and after doing this. the peopl
have got to take care of themselves.
These are the issues to be acted upoi
not those in tho new CONSTITUTIONS
Features in that instrument will be chang
cd by aud by, when the people under
stand its operations; but now other is
sues are presented to their consideration
aud the past history Of the State will b,
their best and most faithful monitor.
