1BG ENLARGKNTENr of THE H.
LaN01k ANN MICHIGAN CANAL
AS a MILITARY mEAhURE

TIC present Wat has already taught us
semc expensive but useful lcssous The |
exposed condition Of our lake Giles aud !
commerce, and the uncertainty Of peaceful
relations with England, are among them. |
II vas in vicsT Of these that the Committee I
On Military Afairs Of the House Of Repre-
seDtatires reported bill for opening 3 !
Ship Canal between Lake Michigan and
the Mississippi River. The great value Of
this werk, not only for the defence of the
the Lakes, but Of the nation at large, seems
IS yet but imreFfrcrly understood; and
well informed persons and leading news
paptIs faTsrlng the measure, often speak
Ct Its military uses, as an excuse rather
than as lhe reason fur It's construction. II
this view were correct, it ought not to be
undertaken, for no expensive improvement.
ought in a time like the present, to BE-
commenced, unless of na.ienal importance
and a;grea* military necessity. That such
are the TEXTURES Of this Improvement,
moments consideration will demonstrate.
The Importance of commanding the
:1ak:es, !: in case Of war with England, is
+. too plain too %eed illustration. :.
The commerce of these inland seas Is
valued at hundreds Of millions of dollars
annually, and is essential to the well-bcing
Of both the Enst and tho Vest. The pro-
perry in cities on their shores is valued at
a sum quite as grat As their control in
uhe o1 war involves that of both shores,
We may be sure that Great Britain
will contend for is with the same determl-
nation mai ;! as ourselves; that she. will no. re-
linquiah the greatest and most valuable of
her foreign possessions without first put-
j. ting forth the u'most Of her power : aud
the contest will fiually be decided hy fleets
Of vessels as powerful as any ever gathered
on the OCEAN.
.. England. at this moment, has as per
feet command Of these Lakes, in a military
.:Bense, as she has Of the British Channel
This nlay to soma seem strange and doubt
ful but, if she be mistress Of the ocean t.
