So vast a system must 'have a more central point around which to revolve. The seat'of government will be removed further into the interior. There are other considerationk than that of mere internal convenience which will influence sucli a movement. In a military point of 'view, the banks of the Potomac have already been proved to be an insecure position for the capital. On either bank of .the Upper Mississippi, it would be inaccessible to all the vleets and armies in the world. Every Ming points to St. Louis as the future Capital. Corn. mereially speaking, it is the, great internal •em trepot of the West. In urging forward, there fore, the construction of this.great line of rail way. which will have one of its termini here, Me. Benton is only eager to anticipate the time when St. Louis will bectime the capital, and Missouri the metropolitan State of the Union. . . "There are those on this side of - the Atlantic who are disposed to laugh at the undertaking. as one of too gigantic a nature lobe rationally entertained. But such are. alike ignorant both of the character and the necessities of the American people,„ We here, arc apt to regard as gigantic, the undertakings which they are compelled to contemplate as necessary. The scale of art must conform itself to that of na ture. Whilst 'we connect together the Forth and the Clyde, what the Ainericans , have to do is to 'unite the Delaware with the Mississippi, In America, an improvement; to be one, must be on a great scale; and there are some who .i.v think that. in more. wavS‘than one, it i. : ; a country in which there is always room for im provement." We submit to our citizens, whether it is not incumbent upon them to take measures to bring this question fairly before Congress. If they be lieve the Boston plan' ihe best which can he de vised, they assuredly ought to do stn.
