:The site of Cairo, like that of New Orleans, Lyons. in France,
St. Petersburgh in Russia, and many towns in Holland, re-
quires to be protected from any unusual rise of water, by an
embankment, or level, of several feet. With regard to the
practicability and importance of building a city at this com-
manding position, the report of the English and American en-
gineers employed by the Corporation is most conclusive ; they
say' "We cannot refrain or withhold our surprise, that any
doubts should ever have been entertained or acted upon, with
reference to the practicability of erecting a city at the con-
fluence of these great navigable rives. Topographically con-
sidered, the site is nearly in the centre of the United States ;
the texture and solidity of the banks at the points is as firm and
secure as any other positions for building between it and the rocky
formations higher up the streams. It is at the very threshold of the
most fertile regions of the west, surrounded by the best timber and
bituminous coal, and from the construction of the great cen-
tral railroad, and the immense range of navigable rivers, ali
centring at this point, it must necessarily have the exclusive
advantage of becoming the great entrepot of all the agricultural
and mineral wealth of this great empire of industry and enter-
prize. In short, there is not in any quarter of the globe a
situation so commanding, and ieplete with every kind of pro-
duce and materials to promote the prosperity of the merchant,
the skill of the mechanic, and the growth of a great city.
The parties associated in this great work is the best guarantee
that, if money and good management will insure success to the
undertaking, this splendid enterprise, premising so beneficial
results to the country at large, cannot fail also to secure to the
proprietors the immense returns anticipated by the outlay of
adequate capital to render the.city what nature intended it
should be—the "Emporium of 'Western America."—American
