individual who is q member Of the Govern
ment, in lengthy address TO the Montreal
constituency which he has Just published
sets forth the principles and policv bv which
the rulers and people of the Dominion are
or ought-to be guided. Among other things
he advocated large expenditures in gigantic
public works, throwing the burdens thereby
created ON future generations. He wants
big debt, after the example of great nations.
And he proposes the creation, with the least
possible delay, of a standing army. For what
purpose this army is to be created he only dis
family hints; but he says quite enough to
show that in making the proposal he has the
United States in his mind S eye. He, too, like
Earl Russell, is troubled with fears of Gag
gression from unprincipled ambition" and SO
to provide against the dreaded contingency he
would arm the people with the best weapons,
and at the earliest moment" Indeed, it is
remarkable how jealousy of the United
States, dislike of our institutions, and suspi-
cion of our Government and people, betray
themselves throughout the whole of this
authoritative exposition of the policy of the
Confederation party. The acquisition of Rus
sian America is, of course, construed into a
threat against the new nation; the monarohi-
cal principles upon which the political con-
stitution of the Dominion is founded are
lauded, as giving it proud distinction in com
parison with the "mere democracy of the
United States," and the hope isentertained that
for the sake Of freedom, justice, and civiliza-
tion," the Dominion might become populous
and prOsperous-to which end general arma-
ment is urged All this, some people may
say, is only very foolish talk That it is fool
ish is evident enough; but considering the
position of the individual using it, the promi-
nent part he took in carrying out the Con-
federation scheme, and the probability of his
continuing to exercise sensible influence in
Canadian politics under the new order of
things, the language acquires importance in
spite of its intrinsic folly. Mr.. MoGee and his
compatriots, we fear, are bent upon policy
too lofty for the present condition of the
country. What we, in our national strength,
can accomplish with comparative ease, it would
be extremely hazardous for the people of the
Dominion to attempt. Let the fate of the un-
happy frog in the fable, who aspired to the
dimensions of the OK, be warning to them.
And when the leading politicians of Canada
begin already to talk about a standing army,
let the people of England look to it that their
new 'allies," under the leadership of the
McGees, the Carriers, and the McDonalds, do
not before long involve them in serious trouble
with the United States

Our Interests on the Pacific.

from Ute WOTtd.
Three questions naturally presented them
selves to the companies who have undertaken
the stupendous work of bridging the continent
with iron rails, wills it feasible Can ways
and means be found And finally, will it pay
Each of them in turn has been answered
aflirmatively as it has come up; and now the en-
terprise is placed on satisfactory working
footing. On the western end, where it was
supposed the greatest difficulties would be
encountered, the Central Pacific Company
composed of practical Californians, seized upon
a projecting spur of the great mountain chain,
and last year had successfully carried the track
nearly to the summit, and are at this time
laying their rails down the eastern slope,
ready for the trains to pass over when the
tunnel under the top ridge is cut out. The
feasibility of the line is so far established as TO
leave no doubt of its regular operation. By
autumn next the whole mountain section of
$50 miles (equal in cost and difficulty to 500
miles of ordinary railroad) will be completed.
By January next more than 200 miles will be
in operation eastward of Sacramento. During
the year following the company expects to
Luild more than 300 miles, and by January
1870 to be met by the roads building from the
east, near Salt Lake City. About the time
therefore, the western end is emerging from
the mountains into the open plain, the
eastern link will be encountering its heavy
work in the Rocky Mountain crossings
Among the resources with which to build
so important road the Government aid has
been and is conspicuous item. One hundred
millions was the estimated cost of a continuous
line from the Missouri to the Pacific; and half
of that sum the Government agreed to furnish
as fast as the road was completed. Russia
has spent hundred millions on her great
military railroad between st. Petersburg and
the Black Sea; and the Northwestern Rail
road, connecting London with Liverpool cost
a hundred and four millions. The Central
Pacific Company, therefore, will receive upon
the completion of its 750 miles of the main
trunk upwards of $25, 600 000, nearly half
what is required for the construction. Cali
fornia corporations, State and local, have also
come forward to aid the work. Private CAPT
tai has also been largely attracted to the
western end of the line, from its superior
advantages of security and exemption from
competition of all sorts. For the construction
of the first section of $50 miles, by far the
most expensive portion of the whole the COM
pany has had the following available re-
sOurces:-

rhe DOMINION OF Csnada.

From The Tribune.
BY royal proclamation the British Provinces
of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, and
New Brunswick have been declared united
under one Government as the dominion of
Canada, and from the Pacific Coast we have
information that the whole of British America
is to be included in the confederation. The
consummation of the confederation scheme of
the Canadian politicians is certainly note
worthy event. although we can hardly agree
with one of the most prominent of them, the
Hon. darcy McGee, when he says that "since
Cabot hoping against hope, caught his first
ghmpse OF Erima Vista, no more important
event In the connection of England with our
continent has occurred than that so quietly
SOnsuhmated the other day at London

reading must be rather limited ssTha CON

already taking rank among the powers of the

gentleman we have already quoted, 'out OF
