This increase in the population Of these ter
ritores is derived from emigration, itself sufficient
source of revenue for the maintenance Of the railway
Lake Ontario is the natural channel the transit of
goods westward from Montreal The superiority of this
route over that of the Erie Canal for the goods
from the States is found in the fact that the navigation
of Lake Ontario is always open early in April and gene
rally in March, and three weeks before the opening oe
the Erie Canal at Albany and the facility of commune
cation between Toronto and the wealthy and rapidly pro-
crossing commercial cities of Oswego and Rochester
points out the advantage of completing the connection
with Lake Ontario by SO cheap and expeditions route
In connection with this contemplated road it will be
necessary to complete the railroads Michigan running
across the peninsula from Detroit and the line from sy
racuse to Oswego in this State The construction of
these roads would open a rapid communication with
Chicago, which would be useful nearly third longer in
