country that in accepting the compromise, as
a settlement of the vexatious slavery ques-
ton, those of the Democratic party, who
formerly opposed it, we're netting in good
faith and are determined not to let t'agita-
tion," hereafter, defeat their purpose of So
curing, as far as they can, thorough. old
fashioned, jackson Dem0cratic administration
of the Government of the United States. The
enactment of this bill will explode the Every
Hard" bubble, when the Every Hard" party
| will be deserted by all but the ge itlemen ont.
| side with axes to be ground. It 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 repubished 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 well, 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
ry. We are not among those who dread the
acquisition of foreign territory, or who object
it when coming in the natural course Of
things,-yet, we are emphstically 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 his speech. Tho next was powerful
| showing of the value which the Sandwich Is
lands will prove to the United States, as O ter
ritorial acquisition at the right time and in
the RICH way.
| DISCIPLINE IN THE L. S. REVENUE MARINE
SERvICs.--Wo hear that the Treasury De.
partment has become exceedingly particular
in tho 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 a 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
F., In few days he made his appearance here,
| applying for leave OF absence himself. and
| giving the information that he had tuken the
liberty to grant leave 10 one of his lieutenants
also to absent himself from duty. The conse-
qucnce was, that both were pcremptoriiy or
derod back to their posts, with instructions
| to the captain likely to greatly expedite the
| preparation of his vessel for service in re-
licvins distressed ships approaching the coast
| in this inclemcnt season. Otherwise the
chances are that the season would have been
frittcred away with the ship in port under the
pretence OF delay in repairing hor.
A DISMISSED VoLUNTEER's PAY-It was
not long since decided in 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 dscharging authority, with the pro.
| visions Of the Ith article of the Rules and
| Articles of War, was held to be legally enti-
| tied to the pay withheld, and also to his pay
| as soldier up to the time when his company
was discharged.
