country that in accepting the compromise, as
settlement of the vexstious slavery ques-
ton, those of the Democratic party, who
formerly opposed it, we're acting in good
faith. and are determined not to etsagita-
ton" hereafter, defeat their purpose OF So
curing. as far as they can, thorough. old
fashioned, jackson Democratic administration
of the Government Of the United States. The
enactment of this bill will explode the VERY
Hard'' bubble, when the Every Hard" party
will be deserted by all but the gentlemen out
side with axes to be ground. 1t will then be
without acknowledged members in Washing
ton to speak Of, except the lobby.
Mr.. WAsHBuRx's speech, delivered yester-
terday, told with power and effect on the
House. and should be republished everywhere.
His defence and enforcement Of the great
leading Wing principles Of conservatism in
the Government Of the United States, will
make for 1t many friends among those who
have of late been listening to the parrot cry,
that its aim is only to hold back for the sake
| of holding back. 1t will be we'll, indeed, if
the country will ponder seriously on what he
said concerning the work of development and
improvement at home, before it runs away
after the strange god Of more strange terrific
p
acquisition of foreign territory, or who object
to it when coming in the natural course of
things,-yet, we are emphatically for the tho
rough improvement Of all the latent means of
national and individual prosperity which We
have already at hand. This was the point of
much of bis speech. The next was powerful
showing of the value which the Sandwich Is
lands will prove to the United States, as q ter
ritorial acquisition ut the right time and in
the right way.
DISCIPLINE IN THE T. S REVENUE MARINE
SERvIcB.-Wo hear that the Treasury De-
partment has become exceedingly particular
in the matter of discipline in the revenue
marine service. Heretofore its officers were
permitted at times, to be absent from duty
| for months, aud, indeed for years, in more
than single case. Very recently, a captain,
whose ship went into port for REPAIRS applied
for and had assigned to his vessel an addi-
tional officer to expedite the work on her.
In few days he made his appearance here,
| applying for leave OF absence himself, and
giving the information that he had tukeu the
liberty to grant leave 10 one of his lieutenants
also to absent himself from duty. The conse-
quonce was, that both were peremptorily
derod back to their posts, with instructions
to the captain likely to greatly expedite the
preparation of his vessel for service in re-
Iicving distressed ships approaching the coast
in this inc lcmcnt season Otherwise the
chances are that the season would have been
trittcred away with the ship in port under the
pretence OF delay in repairing her.
A DISMISSED VOLUNTEERS PAY-It was
not long since decided 10 the Treasury Depart
ment that soldier in a volunteer company,
during the Mexican war, who was illegally,
and against his will discharged by Regi-
mental Court Martial from the service of the
United States, and his pay due ordered to be
paid over to the commanding ofAcer of the
company, without u compliance, on the part
of the discharsing authority, with the pro.
visions of the / tn article of the Rules and
Articles Of War, was held to be legally emit.
tied to the pay withheld, and also to his pay
as soldier up to the time when his company
was discharged.
