UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-TTlROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

THE public will be gratlhed 10 learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements now
complies for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In tho frat attempts Of this Company to meet
the wUnts 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 desrous TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a 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 preya-
lencs Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama az soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence 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 ut 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 and dss-
patch.
! Their Pacific Line from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoS.
ITHMUS, Capt. HlTcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLrY.

GEORGIA. Capt. PoRrER, y. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. scnENcx, o. s. n. ;,
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEIN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up 80 that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the 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.

RICHARD RUSH ALMOST TOO LATE.

During the late canvass in Pennsylvania. "A
Democratic meeting was held at East Smith
field, TO which various distinguished men were
invited among them Richard Rush, late Min
lister to France. lie replied in letter which,
though dated as far back as September 22d
has just been published, having been belated
by IAN accident The Washington Union
gives it a prominent place and distinguished
consideration.
Mr. Rush is panied that Pennsylvania occu-
pies the singular position of being the only
State in which since the organization of the
Federal Constitution Insurrcction has lifted
its front against the laws of the Union. He
recites three instances, ending with the Ohm
sted ease, and the Christuna riot he regards
Ms the fourth and most aggravated instance
In each of the first three eases. he SAYS there
were prosecutions and convictions for Treason
bat the Ereeutire PoWer pardoned the offenders.
He but states facts he adds; intends no
comments on them" Very adroit, Mr. Rush.
lie intends nothing at all, only TO convey the
inference that in this fourth and aggravated
instance, the Executive should suffer the sen
tence of death, SO confidently anticipated in
some quarters, 10 be carried into effect. no az

CHRIsTIANA AFFAIR.

has condemned the insane attempt to convert
a riot into leyying Of war, and few can he
convinced that the indictment will be seriously
prosecuted The idea Of hanging men for par
tcipation in a riot is horrible. Now and then
we hear rufian voice camorous for blood
but the day that shall witness the hanging of
an American citizen on the charge of construc-
tive treason, will mark the commencement of

which will not stop till it has overwhelmed

entirely willing to accept and adOpb Us they
have already demonstrated in tho resolutions
Of MI their State Conventions, the policy rec
commended by President Fillmore, OF testing

therefore which has been the only bone OF re-
cent controversy, there exists no dlncui'y'
There is no desire to disturb the Compromise,
and no inclination to resist the faithful execu-
ton of any of its parts. The Wing party mas
always been the party of the Union ana the
Constitution
The friends of General Scott must see that
there is no hope of his nomination, unless he
make an open, explicit ayowal of adhesion to
the Compromise and Fugitive Law, as final
settlement of the Slavery Question. The course
of the Union party, as proclaimed by Mr.
Toombs, will decide the policy of the old party
Conventions and their candidates must me'
quiyocally represent their resolves.
The Anti-Slavery party has plain path be-
fore it. 1t does not recognise the COMPROMISE
AS IA final settlement of the Slavery Question
it is uncompromisingly hostile to the Fugitive
Law it is the perpetual antagonist OF the
Slave Power. 1t will affiliate therefore, with
neither of the old parties; it will wage wal
against their policy it will gradually, as cir
cmnstances require, organize its forces in thu
several States : it will probably await the ac
ton of the old parties in their National Con
yentions not that it doubts what their cours
will be but because it will be better to hay
facts than prescriptions, on which to found 1t

Mr. Rush thinks highly of slaye-catching.
Indeed we infer from his letter, that the only
way to perpetuate our blessed Union is, for the
Northern People to devote themselves with
zeal to this honorable vocation. Congress has
passed laws organizing the Government and
its several Departments establishing Post
Office. providing for raising revenue, institu-
ting Judiciary, defining and furnishing the
crime of piracy, regulating intercourse with
the Indians organizing Territorial Govern
