JAMES MADISON, in.

This shows what were Mr.. Madison's
opinions which he expressed strongly and
clearly. There could be no such thing as
a conditional ratfication-a ratification pro-
vided certain amendments were assented
to, ether before or after. There could be
no such right reserved as right to Sc
cede, in case their demands were not ac-
ceded to.
The opponents Of the Constitution and
Of the Union desired an express reserva-
ton of right to secede or withdraw from
the Union, if their amendments were not
granted. Why was it necessary to make
such reservation, if secession was an in
herent right, rig ht never surrendered. as
the secessionists now contend.
But the Constitution was ratified with
out the condition. The reservation of the
right to withdraw or secede, was aban-
doned. The ratification, without the con-
diton, was virtual abandonment of the
claim of right to withdraw from the Union.
For. if that right existed independently of
the Constitution, why propose the condi-
ton. to secure or reserve i'll
How emphatic is the language of Mr..
Madison that, a reservation of right to
withdraw, is conditional ratification"
under which New York acould not become
a member ofMe Union. There would be
no reciprocity in such compact. "The
Constitution requires an adoption IN TOTO
and FOREVER" The other States had so
adopted it. "The idea of rescrving a right
to withdraw from the Union aoas started
at Ricchmond, ard considered as condi-
tional ratification, ecAich acas itself ABAN-
DoNED AS WORSE THAN A REJECTION"
How completely this scatters to the
winds the absurd doctrine of secession,
which is pretended to be derived from Vir.
GINA, when it was abandoned" and from
Mr.. Madison, who then and afterwards
condemned it!
Mr.. Madison's language in another place
was sought to be tortured in our State
Legislature into the assertion of right to
secede. And those who cited his great
name, protested entire reliance on him as
faithful expounder of the Constitution
VIII they now withdraw the compliments
they lavished on him, or will they admit
the force ofhis clear, unmistakeable, I'M
answearable language in the above letter.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM III
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

f1yIIE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company 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 DESTROYS TO 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 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-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention ut the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at 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 that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.

OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEM, U. s. N
| The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay OF the ship IN port at rana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed. and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
