The geographical position of Panama renders 1t,
at this time, an object Of more than ordinary i'm
portance in the estimation Of England aud the
United States. It has been clearly demonstrated
by the practical agency Of scientific men, and by
the observation and experience Of all who have had
occasion TO investigate this portion Of the South
American continent and the contiguous prov iaces
of Central America, that the most practicable and
feasible point Of transit bet Yeen the Atlantic and
the Pacific, to be found in the whole range Of ter
ritory between Mexico and Ecuador, on this colst,
is here. Tie connection to be formed With the At
lantie By tic pletion OF the railroad in pro-
easily trsversed IL Cd hour and half-thUs uniting,
by hands breaGJb, the two great oceans Oh the
world, with al their trade, and commerce, and
wealth
The intermediate position which thispassage sus-
tain be tweeath Western ard European continents,
ard ia central position in the whole commercial
world, form another highly important feature and
claim consideration second IN Importance oaly %
that which makes 1t the most feasible AID desirable
rs poirt OF transit To this point must necessarily
flow all the commerce from both, which may be
destined for any OF the Pacific ports, and through
here lust necessarily be conveyed all the exported
wealth and products Of China, the East Indies Aus.
trala the Sandwich and other islands, ana ell the
future trade and commerce Of the Pacihc-Nsxiso,
California, Oregon, and British Northwestern Ane-
RIGA Bsioes ali this il vail always hold ard cotn-
man6, il does nov, the entire trad and commerce
fthe whole South American Fa,iic coast from
New Granada 10 Patagonia, which can neither DO
disturbed Nor interfered With By the construction
Of any other route Of transit between the two
oceans.
In these two respects the geographical position Of
PaDan present, Tot only TO England and the
United Statef, bat 10 tho whole commercial world,
an object Of singular AMI significant character,
These advantages, themselves. arc pregnant wlth
wealth and power, and attach an Importance to the
republic Of New Granaca hitherto unappreciated,
II not unknown.
In addition TO these important Considerations,
are the I'D yantsges arising from the character Of
tbe harbors at each terminus Of the route. On
the Atlantic side, there is an abundance Of water
for vessels OF any draft, and not only good an
chorage and safe harbor, with docks and piers con-
structed for them TO lilo by, but the whole amount
in the rise and fall Of tide does DO. exceed IS inches
so that perfect freedom and esurity may always be
relied on. Here, at Panama, We have one OF the
6neet bays and hsrbors IN the world, in point of
anchorage, depth of water protection afforded By
the surrounding shores and islands, and in health
and beauty. Az all seasons Of the year, and at al
stages Of the tide though it has rise ard fall q
upwards Of twenty feet, ships and steamers Of The
largest class can and do always ride a. safety. Ky
