We imagine the writer in the Freenan's
/ Journal made no calculation when he advised
to keep the Merino breed OF sheep sepera:e
from others,
Ifkept seperate, allowing the number OF
those that die equal to the extra number OF
! the twins, it would require fourteen orD-
/ teen gears before there would be one million
of full blooded sheep for, supposing half
rams and half ewes they would but each
year half double the number of the preced-
ing year. This calculation is made for 800
rams and 500 ewes. Thus TIE numbers at
the first years end stands:
1900 ewes,
1900 rams,
$50 ram lambs,
$50 eve lambs,
$500
At the second years end:
$3.50 ewes,
$3.50 rams,
1875 eve lambs,
1925 ram lambs,
675o
At the third years end &
1915 ewes,
1915 rams,
1857 eve lambs,
1857 ram lambs,
1925
Now let us see what would be the conse.
quence of crossing the breed with our som.
mon sheep.
AT the first years ends
1000 Merino rams,
10000 common ewes,
$4,000 half blood eve lambs,
$4,000 do. ram lambs.
At the second years end, allowing one
ram 70 elSnSy ewes
1000 Merino rams,
$4,000 half blood ewes,
10000 do. rams,
10000 50 blood ram lambs,
10000 4 do. eve do.
6.4OO,OOO common ewes,
100000 4 blood eve lambs,
$500 600 ID do. ram do,
Which would. in substance, smount to
1890 900 full blooded Merinos and thus
in eight years, there nigh. be more millions
than the whole country could feed, that
would be IS parts Merino out of g..

But when this conflict originates in mea.
sure which cannot fail TO cxasperate one of
the parties, when the right to be asserted has
been acquired in manner which the party
Invested of it can deem neither just nor mo.
ncrable The difficulty of an amicable ar
rangement is so much encreased that, with
out the intervention of fortunate occurrences,
it's not to be effected.
Of this description is our title to LOU
isiana.
The circumstances under which we acquired
that territory cannot be forgotten. They
we're well calculated to irritate the country
from which it was torn, and to make impress
sions extremely unfavorable to that friend
ship which it isthe interest of neighbours to
cultivate.
The acquisition is placed in asituation the
more critical by being left, perhaps uninten-
tionally, incomplete in most essential point.
In the hurry of making the purchase, we
could rot suspend the execution of the con
and this very delicate points still to be Set
tied.
Cuba, large and rich island, capable of
sustaining a considerable population, is Iaaced
at the entrance of the Gulph of Mexico. 1t
commands the mouth of the Mississippi; and
all the trade between that river and the ports
on the Atlantic must pass near its shores
This circumstance is entitled to the more
consideration because Cuba, connected with
the Spanish part oil Hispaniola, is capable of
becoming, and most probably will become an
important maratime power.
Louisiana, that part OF Spanish America
which was purchased from France, whose
limits are underlined, conesins population by
no means friendly to the United States: No
thing would be easier than to detach that
country from the union. With respect to
great portion oft, many are of opinion that
It's loss would not be a subject Of regret, But
this opinion does not extend 10 the island of
New Orleans. That place isa point Of un
speakable importance. 1t is the key to all
those immense regions which are watered by
the Mississippi Experience has already de.
inonstrated the vast influence witch the . os-
SCISSORS of this interesting position viii hold
ever the western states
Suciiis the relative situation of the United
States with those ncighbor who are about to
become Independent nations. It's delicacy
must be perceived by all The line ofpolicy
which-we adept pending the struggle which
has already commenced, may for q long tract
oftime, deeply affect ourselves. 1t mcrils&
ought to engage our mot serious consiaera-

Some Of the democrats, with convenient
minds, bslieve txacslyso much Of Mr.. Frs

but have no faith in the rest! He might
