This is somewhat remarkable coincidence,

death or abdication within the next seventy
days. it would be still more remarkable, and,
perhaps, confirm the superstitious in their be-

improvement convention has Just been held at
Portage City, Wisconsin, at which the subject
was discussed of opening canal communica.
ton between the Mississippi and the lakes by
way of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers. which
it is estimated, can be done at a cost of four
millions. The object is to enable the Missis-
sippi steamboats, to carry the heavy products
OF the Northwest directly to the lakes and there
transship them. The project appears to be
practicable, and although if carried out il NAV
lpJure the Erie canal business somewhat. it is
not Objectionable for one reason, because by
turning the trade of the Northwest into tho
great channel of the st. Lawrence it will give
a new impetus to the annexation of Canada
When the river st. Lawrence comes to be the
outlet OF our Western productions the terrific
ry through which it runs must very soon be-
come portion of our domain. But the great
mistake of the convention was made when it
assumed to look to the gene raj government for
aid. This is not the time to ask for assistance
for measures like this. Let the four States Of

enterprise take hold of it earnestly and it will
