GO AHEAD.
BY G. W. LIGHT.

'' When your plans Of life are clear,
Go ahead;
= But, no faster than your brains;
- Haste is always in the roar;
If dame Prudence have tho reins,
Go ahead.
Do not ask too broad a test;
Go ahead;
Lagging never clears the sight;
When you do your duty best.
You will best know what is right.
Go ahead.
Never doubt a righteous cause;
Go ahead; .
Throw yourself completely in;
Conscience shaping all your laws,
q Manfully. through thick and thin,
Go ahead.
Do not ask who'll 60 with you;
Go ahead;
Numbers! spurn the towards plea!
If there be but one or two,
Single handed, though it be,
Go ahead.
Though before you mountains rise, '
ol Go shead;
Scale them! certainly you can!
is Let them proudly dare tho skies
10 What are mountains to MAN!

Though fierce waters round you dash,
Go ahead:
Let no hardship battle you;
Though tho Heavens roar and fash,
Still, undaunted, firm and true,
Go ahead. ....
Heed not Mammon's golden bell;
Go ahead;
Make no compromise with sin;
Tell the serpent ho looks well,
But you cannot let him in.
Go ahead.
Better days are drawing nigh;
Go ahead;
Making Duty all your pride,
You must prosper, live or die,
For all Heavens on your sids.

Mr.. MARSHALL, Of North Carolina, ad
dresssd the committee at length in reference 70 the
procssdines Of the Wing caucus, Replying TO the
inanifssso Of the eleven Southern gentlemen who
withdrew from that body, aud declaring himself
to bs an incorporating advocate of the compro-
cate and friend Of the present administration.
MIR. ORR said that the State Of South Carolina
was not represented in The convention held at Bal
timore last week. but although not represented IN
that body, che felt great soicitude in Its hnal
action. His purpose now was to express his con
vlction that the nomination Of FRANKLIN PIERCE
and w r. KING would meet with cheerful re-
Spouse and cordial support in South Carolina
The election Of FRANKLIN PIERCE as the standard
bearer Of the Democratic party, held out proud
hopes of promise that the country would return
to those wise, patriotic, and republican doctrines
which dictated and controlled the administration
Of the immortal Jefferson. Mr.. 0. then gave an
account of the political history Of Mr.. PIERCE.
He then referred to the platform, in which he
said few planks had been inserted, which in his
Judgment would add nothing to the strength, har
mony, and symmetry of the structure. He would
have preferred the master builders to have rejected
certain planks in the structure, but they were
now in it, and there much more good
than evil IN the platform, he was not inclined to
urge objections against il.
He next spoke IN complimentary terms Of the
Hon. w. K. KiNG, the nominee for the Vice
President Of the Democratic party, and in concu-
sion predicted the success of the Democracy, de-
claring that the 4th Of March, 1885, would be sig
nalized by the restoration Of republican principles
and measures in the government of the United
States.
Mr.. MEACHAM followed and proceeded to
reply to the remarks of Mr.. RANrouL. made some
time snce on the subject Of the public lands.

TIME public will be gratifed TO learn that the
j United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 10 announce that theirArrangements 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, the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO 20 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, thew
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preya-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as 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 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 aud 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 des
patch.
lhelr racine Line, rom Panama To San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. Hupson.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, U. s. NJ
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, 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 Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations OF their New York and Chasres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
