New England Capitalists, who had been somewhat
severely reflected upon, the other day, by Mr..

4 fallroad Dlli Mr. Banks did not doubt that the
capitalists OF New England were largely interested
in the financial results of the enterprises in which
they engaged; but it was strictly true-hisOrically
true--that no enterprise had ever been undertaken
/ by the people oil MASSACHUSETTS,, that had not in

/ upon q new system, lncOmparably important in
eHtent-that OF ship canals. If the causes Of inter
yention, Of European States in South America were
/ carefully examined, IL would be found that the
real object was TO gain control Of the great lines
! Of natural communication the Amazon and La
RATA rivers, which dram the best portion OF the
south American continent so the OBJECT OF the
| Emperor Of the French was to gain control Of the
line of transit across the Isthmus which untes the
Atlantic and Pacllle oceans.
! 1t was impossible to CONCEIVE OF anything so I'M
portant as the occupation Of that narrow isthmus
| for twenty years, Napoleon, and his predecessor
IN his tine, had this object in view. When Napo-
| leon entered on bis Mexican scheme, he believed
| that the American government was destroyed, and
that he would be left in undisturbed occupation Of
| the position. His letter to Marshal Forey and his
! declarations to the French people you'd have
/ been made good, namely that france mad
achieved destiny on the continent winch had
never been contemplated. IL was HelLnef just nor

cause, not 10 the consequences 1t was because
OF these great enterprises, opening on all sides,
| that Ihe peOple OF New Englahd-the men VINO
worked IN me shops, who cultivated the fields
to0k such an interest IN these questions. 1t was
not improbable that the Ohio would be connected
with the James river by snip canal from the
II hanaWn@ that the great lakes would be CON
il nected by snip canal with the st. Lawrence
river If the cost OF transportation ofgrain could
be thus reduced one quarter or one half, the
united states WonId nave control OF the grain
markets OF the world. .

I had Indicated, the Mississippi valley would be
given the grandest prize ever opened to man, the
control OF the gram markets OF the world; to the
Paclnc states would be gwen the control, not to
Il say monopoly, OF the Asiatic trade and to the
II Eastern States would be given the control of
manufactures ma IN the markets of Europe and Asia
