COMPANY--THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
rT,TIE public will be grati6ed 70 learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 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 desirous 70 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 by
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 at the time, pre-
vented their ships nom reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18TH
mus. which was Increased by the impatience Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day tnan 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
cisco, will be performed with regularity aud des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HlTcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt PEcx.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKIEr.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U 5. ~.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEnS, U. s. ~
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 Una. no 1elay
beyond the usual stay ofthe ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line. and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California

is comparatively small, and is be-
lieved to be daily diminishing; but the
issue which they present is one which
involves the supremacy, and even
the existence Of the Constitution.
Cases have heretofore arisen i'm
which individuals have denied the
binding authority of acts of Congress,
and even States have proposed to
nullify such acts, upon the ground,
that the Constitution was the supreme
law ofthe land, and that those acts of
Congress were repugnant to that in
strument. But notification is not
aimed SO much against particular
laws, as being inconsistent with the
Constitution, as against the Constitu-
ton itself, and it is not to be disguis-
ed, that a spirit exists, and has been
actually at work, to rend asunder this
Union--the cherished inheritance of
our Revolutionary Fathers.
In my last annual message, | stat
ed that | considered a series ofsrmea-
sures which had been adopted at a
previous session, in reference to the
agitation growing out of the Terrific
rial and Slavery questions, as final
settlement in principle and substance,
Of the dangerous and exciting sub
jects which they embraced; and re-
commended adher ence to the adjust
ment established by those measures,
until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further
Legislation to guard against evasion
or against abuse. | was not induc-
ed to make this recommendation be-
cause thought those measures per-
feet. Wide difference and jarring of
opinions can only be reconciled by
yielding on all sides; and this result
had been reached after an angry con-
flict of many months, in which one
part of the country was arrayed
against another, and violent convul-
stons seemed to be imminent. Look
ing at the interests of the whole coun-
try, felt it to be my duty to seize
upon this Compromise, as the best
that could be obtained amid conflict
ing interests, and to insist upon it as
final settlement, to be adhered to,
by all who value the peace and well
fare of the country.
A year has now elapsed since tina
recommendation was made. To that
recommendation, still adhere, and
congratulate you and the country
upon the general acquiesence in
these measures Of peace, which has
been exhibited in all parts of the Re-
public. And not only is there this
general acquiesence in these mea-
sures, but the spirit of Cancellation
which has been manifested in all
parts of the country, has removed
doubt and uncertainties in the minds
of thousands of good men, concern.
ing the DURABILITY of our popular insti-
tutions, and given renewed assurance
that our Liberty and our Unto may
snbsist together, for the benefit Of
this and all succeeding generations.
