TEHJJANTEpEC RAILROAD

A Letter from New Orleans states that our Govern
ment has made Treaty with Mexico to secure the
right of transit by railroad the Isthmus of Te-
huanlepec, agreeably to the principles laid down on
that subject by President Taylor in his annual message
The success of this negotiation cannot fail to be graft
flying to commercial men, and indeed to al'who look
TO the retention OF our possessions the Pacific. As
auxiliary tot the great canal by way OF Mica
ragua, must go further towards binding together the
Atlantic and Pacific States than any thing which can
be devised, except indeed that magnificent enterprise
ITSELF which taken under theloin protection of
Great Britain and the9Unted States, and will before
long be under the protection of all the maritime States
ofthe world. President Polk instructed Mr. Trist when
he sent him to negotiate the treaty of Guadalupe to Of
fer five millions of dollars for the right transit across
at Tehuantepec. Every benefit contemplated by tina
arrangement, if intelligence be true haslbeen secu
red by the administration Of President Taylor, without
costing the nation dollar; and we gain the additional
advantage ofbnding Mexico herseto protect the work
which is necessary to unite with Pacific Terrific
res. The benefits resulting to the United States from
the canal ana railroad will be incalcuabe and through
ages to come the name OF President Taylor who took
the first steps towards uniting all the nations Of the
world in object so beneficial all will be reInem-
bered with gratitude. He has now passed TO his &C

The Delegate from Ne,o Merico.

The Delegate from Neao Merico
We concur fully in the views very forcibly ex.
pressed in the following communication If the
House of Representatives alone can admit Mr.
Hugh n Smith, without any law fora Territorial
government, we do not see why the Senate NAV
not admit Col. Fremont and DR.. Gwin without
any law making California State.
To the Editors of the Times:
perceive by the papers that the House OF Represent
tatives has admitted Mr.. Hugh N. Smith, as delegate
from New Mexico* This strikes me as very extraor-
binary proceeding, and without precedent, if | am
right in my impression that Territorial Government
has been established for New Mexico and she is yet
a recognized State. By the ordinance OF 1887 terri
lora delegate might be appointed by the Territorial
Legislature, after of course the Territorial Govern
ment had been established with right debate but
to voe--and when there longer Territory upon
which that ordinance could act and the people of Ter
rtory desired to have delegate, Congress authorized
them to elect one 10 the case of Missouri and Mch-
GAM and prescribed the qualification of voters retain.
ing the basis OF number and the ordinance of 81 I'M
less specially changed by law Now, if this be cor
rect statement, by what authority has Congress admit
| ted delegate from New Mexico who has complied
any law to appoint delegate? 1t may be said that
Congress- which passed the law had right repeal it;
butt is equally true Iapprehend, that one House can
not repeal law, and has right to violate it, and by
the violation, moreover, taxing the Treasury with the
expense OF the illegal delegate. Ii one House NAV
thus admit one illegal delegate, may not, with equal
right, duplicate the speaking but nonvong delegates
from any State number of States? And if it NAV ad
NIT delegate who has been illegally appointed may it
not admit one who has pretence OF Appointment II
the law may be violated in respect what shall it
be necessarily observed2 The fact strikes me as Sc
serious and important one and you better post
ed upon these questions now before Congress than any
one know, invite your attention toit. CIVIS.
