for the common defence and for the protection OF
California and It IS necessary unless 1t can be shown
that other of defence and protection may be
equally eifectua We have stated the circumstances
which convince us that the army navy ana iorncaqns
are less eeeua and conceive OF no otper means
unless we prepared 70 rely on securing the dement's
AZ railroad through Mexican territory, in ccnnexion
with water transportation as means Of common defence
and protection to our Pace POSSESSIONS but this sug
oestion oould hardly deserve moments consideration
nermanent reliance for defence and protection. Our
mind therefore reroses confidently the conviction
hat there r no constitutional obstacle in the way Of
appropriation by Congress and in reaching this concu
SION weee perfectly satisfied that we are standing firmly
upon the principles OF constitutional construction laid
down by the straigh.est sect Of Democracy
It's net to be overlooked that upon any route proposed
for the railroad the great difficulty in the way Of its COM
pttion to be found in the passage Of its main trunk
through territory not yet erecte into States SO far as
lis passage through States is concerned it is scarcely ne
ctssary say that question OF CONSTITUTIONS power
would lie allowed to embarrass the enterprise as those
States would once, and gladly, remove all difficulty
growing Of their claim to exclusive Jurisdiction In
that view the question Of constitutional power becomes
still less embarrassing upon the doctrine which has been
maintained by the most eminent of the State gats states
men as to the full power of the Federal Government to
stand upon considerations of this character that the con-
stitutionaty of the Pacific railroad measure OF de-
fence and protection, is maintained by both the dtin
gushed members of the Cabinet ADORE referred to- and
especially by the Secretary Of War.
II considering this proposition we Cannot well over
estimate the Of those circumstances in he actual
condition Of possessions the Pacific which strong
IL invite foreign aggression II canno. be supposed that
our population the western slope Of the Rocky Noun
tains is nensibe this danger and that they not
fully alive the claims which they have under the Con-
stituton to ample protection. We should betray an in
excusabe ignorance Of human nature not to know that
the neglect Of the Government to provide the means Of
protection which their situation requires may result in
feeling of dsafection and alienation which might eri
ousy endanger the continued harmony and integrity of
the Confederacy. These considerations Of moment
determining the facts which the constitutional
ercise Of the powers of the Government depend We
satisfied that they well calculated fix the con-
clusveness of the position which rest the consttu
tionaty Of the proposition for Government aid the
Pacific railroad.

SHEErrAIsISG IN New MExIco.LAWe give the following
statement, the authority Of gentleman well known to
us, showing what may now be done in the business OF
sheep farming in New Mexico:
Senior IGYAcIo MIERA Of Alzcdones, on the Del Norte
about forty miles south from Santa Fe sold this year to
Mr.. BEnNIDET, Of the Moro, the product Of focs Of
1000 ewes for something 50 275. His ewes Welded
him over 1880 lambs, for which he got $1.75 head
when nine months DID, The actual Of putting these
lambs into market be known only by taking into
view the average annual expense Of keeping up his whole
stock Of sheep and estimating the total product But
s supposed that the cost Of these lambs If set down
$500, would be overstaed. There Is now probably no
part Of the United States equal extent which is 50 well
adapted to sheep-husbandry as New Mexico.
