It is new to us as, one of that Dernocrapy, for We have beerrused to seta our creed legislated in to the policy; of the 'government permanently, and hot the ternparary" policy of the govern. stem legislated into our creed. Besides, it is a new doctrine to us, that any law acquires additional 'strength by being several times en acted. It 'is an namisicon virtually of weak nescin the government itself, that a law Can not command the 'reverence die to law when lit is once enacted and recorded in the statute books of the'nation. We look' upon it as a " solemn farce 4 to 'enact ever again a law, and I as establishing a dangerous precedent by-ad mitting a weakness as above- alluded to, that will not he'Clow to, root itself in the popular mind, and gradnalloead it: to disregard laws at convenience, by destroying all law-rever encing feeling. We can sec no'reason why the Compromise 'should be again enacted-:. why it should require . tobe enacted over again every two years. Has that been the course of the Democracy in the Past, in reference to any ;measure of . our .party that has been en grafted intothe policy of the country? When Protectionists sent up .a howl from ono end of the Union to tho, other, after the paocigo of the '46 Tariff; when' they were agitating Its repeal and bringing to bear every effort to ac. conAlish it, did the 'Democracy at the twat session of Congress enact it over again ? No. body so'silly as to think of, much less to pro pose sue h a farce, and why now sheuld thoso laws of '6O require itl, Where in creation ex ists the, reason, the necessity for it ?

Rail Road, when there has been no Mail, for thai toad to carry, and the , negociations for carry. ing one in future were not closed till last week, or week before last, since The complaint w as !entered'. • • Tho prospect of having a Mail oh tho Rail Road has necessarily kept back. most otthe ch anges asked for, because those changes were principally asked to be made with a view of connecting with the Rail Road Mail.— Hence they must be made to accommodate to that and how could that be done before it was determined whether the Rail Road should car ry one or not! That,, as before intimated, never was settled till within a week or so. The old;Mall routes, on which .changes have been, and are to be made, are as follows. Tri4eekly from Montrose by Brook !pi; Lenoxt Dundaff to Carbondale. This is changed so as to run by Brooklyn, Hopbo4om, 'Glenwood; Lenowille, Clifford and Dundaff. 2d. Senii-weekly Mail from Lenox to liar ford,, whicb remains the same as before. 3d. Weekly from Lenox to Waverly, also remainingthe same, and an extra Mail once a • • week . frotri Glenwood to Lenox. All these changes in`o without any extra expense to the Department. It is not true that Dundaff is loft of the route ; nor;is it true that there is a tri-weekly Mail to or past Glenwood; nor is the state ment true relative to supplying Brooklyn and tat we hare the facts. The only of flee left off' the former East route is Lenox, and that in' the change will be supplied with a Mail four times a week; twice from Glen wood and twice from Harford, connecting at each end with the New York Mails leaving Montrose. Thus Lenox is supplied" full as well as before, and three offices beside Hop bottom, viz: Glenwood; Clifford,' and 'Lenox . - villa Jiro well supplied, which before could not get a;letter froiti the cep* seat under a week, generally; and they could not.get their, coun ty papers till more than a week after publica tion Unless they were sent round 'by Carbon dale, when they would. not get them till' the folloWing Tuesday after publication on Thurs day. So the change on this line, while it gives'all as good sueply as - they .had before, gives to a large portion much better. It was aiito for by six Pogt Masters and many peti tioners. Now as to Herfoni, an application has been before the Department: some time for a daily I mail from Montrosiby the Depot to Harford. As this was to run in corm c ion With - 0e Mal contemplated by-the Rail Road, the Depart ment refused to act upon it till that question was dispesed of. As soon as the Post Master at &mitten reports a Mail V Rail Road, that route win be called up and established to meet it. Nov if there is any wrong about this we confess ourselves unable to see it. We 'can see 'that the change in the Eastern route has accommodated many and discommoded no body, so En- as the Mails are. concerned; and all attempts to make political capital by state. ments so' glaringly false, as those in' reference to Dundaff in particular, must recoil itostfear fully upon: the head of him having the effront ery to make them.' So far from " throwing pirfoid, Lenox; strafDandaff put of their sup ply 411141," alrioid will have an she has asked for, Lenox be supplied as well as before, Dundaff be in direct connection with Montrose, and thus with NOW York and PhiladelPhia;ind I Hopis:atom; Glemiood, Lenoxville and Clifford be supplied as they never have been before.— We believe we have given a tare statement of the facts in the case at all events we have: intended to, and if we do not tuiderstand, correctly we are ready to be put- Eir The following is the resolution rela tive to .the Compromise that passed the House last week by a vote of 102 to 64. - It was of fered by Mr. 'Jac hion of Georgia.. , • , Rirolved, That We recognize ,the binding efficacy of the compromises' of the constitution --and we believe it to be the determination of the people generally, as we hereby declare it to be ours individually, to abide by such corn-. promises, and to sustain the laws necessary to carr3 , them out—the provision for the delivery of fugitive slaves, and the act of.the last Con gress for that purpose, included; ' and that we deprecate all !lather agitation of the question growing out of that act of the. laSt Congress, known as the Compromise act—and, of vies thins 'generally. ,eoinleeted, with the institution of slavery, as unnecessary, useless anti danger..

Sev eral old sea Captains-who were on board, told the Captain that he was too hear shore ; but he said that there was no danger, as he knew the landmarks perfectly, &e. About.l2 o'clock pt night the Mate called the Captain from bed, Outing his apprehensions that they were too near shore: -The Captain came up and , told `the Mate he was to far out; instead of too far in. The order was hardly complied with be ,fore she struck hardaground and just outside 'of some breakers. -' I was on deck I suppose in three Minutes, having stopped to dress and ;get Charley up; and then I saw something I ;never saw before. ' The Pacific, as-it had been all the way, Was as calm as .11.--'s fish pond.— At a little distance were some heavy breakers 1.-•-beyond them a plain sand beach, and furth er sti ll a range of high ground. The moon *as as bright as daylight, and we stood On deck and . saW all this as plain as you can on a bright night see the Susquehanna bridge from the lawn.- Yet there we were. The Captsin pretended that he could only see the high ground, and did not dream of any beach or breakers. But how any sailor could mistake those foaming, thundering monsters as they threw themselves one upon another, high in the air, or fail to see the land beach, which formed a band of silver along the shore, and shining as bright -as a white ribbon, I cannot cohceive. It was a perfect outrage, without any excuse whatever. The ship was, driven up by the swell broadside into. the breakers, and there we ' caught it some. The Captain was completely bewildered and confused, and after a few moments just went into his state room, palled his cap over his eyes, and wns hardly seen again until the next day. The Ist and 2d Mate went ,to work, and a lot of us. turned in With them. I never saw men or women behave better than the whole number of passengers although - hundreds of them were badly frightened, yet they Were easily controlled, and there was no general rush, or stampede. The vessel lay - on hei side leaning away from the shore, and tire breakers of course took her on this low side. They would raise the ship apparently right up and carry her towards shore, and then drop I suddenly away, letting us drop with a force that seemed as though it would break the ship. ;to atoms—but she was a noble craft and stood every shock splendidly. Finally we were car ried up as far poiiible and then our hull bur ' tied itself in the bottom and WO bad to meet the breakers, dead weight. By - Jupiter, did they not strike us the! I never saw, neither . [ can I describe anything like it. We finally I got the boats on; and manned them, and at [about 3 o'cloek'commenced landing the aiiliesl I and children. We got a rope to the shored and by it men pull the boats to and fro-but, it was Acne business, the vessel lay so tin her side that none of the gong-way ladders 'would reach: They 'however rigged a ladder down the side,Und the first Mate carried every lady and child down into boats, on his arms. I nev.. er saw two Men work as did Mr,Ginn. Ist and Mr. Ilegins, - 2d, Mate. These =two noble fel- [ lows landed every lady and child, the one car ' ying them,doai into the heats, and the other getting them ashore through the surE . They ; worked inceisantly from the time she struck, (12 o'clock; Friday-nightjuntil Saturday night about.; 0, without, meat or drink, or cessation. They got the ladies ashore about 10 o'clock, Saturday forencion; they then, landed male passengers, but as they did not need carrying, Mr-' Ginn, the first Mate, went to landing val. tiables; dc. - Charley and I got , ashore , during? 'the day, as did all the passengers. I was tired' foci had worked like a horse, and was mighty glad to come across a-tent on the beach, called the " Binghamton Hotel," F. R. Deming, pro prietor. Our • boys had got a niee tent all.] rigged, and Deming had been on ,board again, [ and had. got every thing we wanted to 'cook'[ [ with, or use. And iv4en the shipsteres came ashore, you may, believe we secured Our share [of food. We had coffee, tea, chocolate, bread, eggs, ham, &c., enough to last us a week.-- [We took. in.a few ladies, who were a great, help in cooking .i!.te.: and there, and thus-on a desert beach-4he ground my bed,and•PY trunk my pillow; did I stay until Monday naor nh:e• . • . __ • .. • • Every passenger, and all thobargage, ship stores and, valuables, were landed in. safety.— We set out and se'oured the country for mules dtc., and soon a plentiful supply came in, with the natives, who brought the pleasing intelli gence that we were three day's journey from this, (the nearest) port. They charged ten dol. lars each for, the . mules, so Charley and I took, three, two to riae, - and one for baggage. We started on.

We. had nice road and a plenty to eat, ' The route was level and the trees made an arbor abovetis. It was mostly through dense forests, and we found plenty of ranches where we could eat and sleep..
