With Asia will soon oovrr in long double
lines the length of that road. Upon this
subject, patriotism and public policy have
wisely moved together. in the Congress
sional liberali,y OF the charter. The al
mighty dollar is now the main motive pow
or to construct the road. True it is, how
ever. that the public policy of the Bosto-
mans is not overlooked in matter tina: by
her nearer position to western Europe than
all large cities, except only Portland,
in Maine, places her as the great Eastern
entrepot Of the continental transit between
Europe and Asia, and this must ultimately
make New York secondary TO her. This
may seem a broad assumption, hut the
child is born in this Territory that will see
it so. Fifty years ago. Philadelphia had
more inhabitants and larger commerce
than New York. This was reversed by
the greater enterprise of New York in ear
ly opening her canals, whilst years after
Philadelphia followed in her wake. The
enterprise Of New York built scores Of
packet ships tor European trade and pas
sengers, and by colporteurs Supplied every
dwelling nearly on the continent Of Eu-
rope with truthful pamphlets Of the great
land offerings Of the great West, the be-
nightly of our laws and institutions, and
thus not only made New York but the
western portion of the nation what it is.
Boston, tl,n almost confined to her fish
cries and East India commerce, struck out
into broad sea of manufacturing, and
made her what we see her, the city Of
millionair-s. God and nature, and the
vast interior to supply. made Philadelphia
what eve see her now, immense, in the
numbers of goodly. careful, comfortable
people. The Government donation Of
lands will 60 far, when developed. to pay
the entire expenses Of construction of the
North Pacific road. Capitalists see a
great amount Of money to be made, they
take hold under one sole direction, and not
trammelled as the Central road, by the
disputations of a dozen different masters OF
so many different connecting liues. As an
investment, when completed, it may be
doubted if any road on this continent will
equal it in the semi.annual dividends. II
any one doubt our views, let him bury this
paper and dig it out ten years from this.
