JANUARY 90, l8I5

JANUARY 2B, l8l5
Mr., pRATr, OF New York, presc nteI
the subioned. memorial OF Asa Whitney
Il merchant Of that State, (who has recent
~ returned from China, praying for the
appropriation Of a certain portion Of the
public lards for constructing ralI road
from Lake Michigan through the Rock =
Mountains, TO the Oregon Territory, on
the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
On presenting this memorial Mr.. p, re
marked that the subject was one of the
most important character-alike valua
Bile and magni6cent-weII worthy OF the
attention and patronage Of the American
people. Now that the Oregon question is
under discussion in the halls of Congress,
and indeed every where throughout the
whole land; no,O is emphatically the lime
for considering most seriously all the
bearings of an important PROJECT of this
character. For the most extended com
mercaI purposes; for the convenience
and advantage Of the whole American
people, and last but not least for the pur-
pose Of securing the American interes $
in the vast regions Of Oregon, and pro.
noting the Capacities OF our common coun-
try for warllke defence, as we'll as for all
the advantages Of peaceful intercourse
between the people dwelling on the shores
of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the
project Of facilitating the intercourse by
railroad and steam power is one of the
modest to which the attention of our
leIow.ctizens and the energies Of our 60
vernment could now be directed. Such a
vast line Of communication, once com
pIeted, would prove an invaluable auxll-
larry in commenting the Interests of our
widely extended territory--in extending
the blessings of our free institutions-in
strengthening the friendly bond which
link together these States in one grand
political Coniederacy. And, in addition
to all this, from the facilities which such
a line Of intercourse would afford; from
the fact that in furnishing a direct psSter.
Iy passage betaceea Ewope and China, il
would conSummate what Columbus and
other navigators long sought to obtain
in addition 10 all the foregoing consider,
ations, he repeated, this Atlantic and Pa
clfc railroad, managed with proper Iiber-
ality, would soon become the highway Of
nations.
In conclusion, Mr.. PRATT again invoked
for the whole subject the earnest consid
Grafton Of this House, and of the people
at large, especially as this project con-
templates the settlement of the country
along the route, as the work upon the
railroad advances in its progress towards
the Pacific Ocean.
The memorial was then, on motion Of
Mr.. PRATT, referred to the Commtte on
Roads and Canals.

MEMORIAL.

MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tires Of The United States in Congress
assembled:
Your memoralist begs respectfully to
represent to your honorable BODY, that,
by rivers, railroads, and canals, all the
States east and north of the Potomac con-
meet directly with the waters OF the great
Lakes. That there is chain OF railroads
IN projection and being built, from New
York 10 the southern shores of Lake Mi
chigan, crossing all the veins of comma
nicutlon to the Ocean, through all the
States south aud east Of the Ohio river,
producing commercial, political, and ma
tional results and benefits which must be
iseen and felt through all our vast Con
lederacy.
Your memorialist would further repre-
sent to your honorable body, that he has
devoted much lime and attention to the
subject of a railroad from Lake Michigan
through the Rocky Mountains 10 the Pa
cifc Ocean, aud tina; he finds such route
practicable, the results from which would !
be Observation-Disclosures beyond the magma.
ton of man to estimate. To the Interior
of our wide spread country, it would be
tho heart is 10 the human body. 1t would
when all completed cross all the mighty
rivers and streams which wendtheir way |
TO the Ocean, through our vast and rich
valleys, from Oregon 10 Maine--a vdis
lance of more than three thousand miles
The incalcuIablo importance Of such a
chain of roads will readily be seen and $
appreciated by your honorable body. 1t
would enable US, in the short space OF !
eight days (and perhaps less) to conccn-
trate all the lorces of our vast country Il
at any point from Maine to Oregon, in the g
or on the coast; snch easy aand $
rapid communication, with such facilities v
Tor exchanging the different produces OF Il
