days steam was not available for the
transportation of people. either by land
or by water. Electricity was unknown.
aud hence there were no telegraphs
aud telephones. The congress might
be called in session by the president,
but the postal service was defective as
well as slow, and hence great deal of
time was required TO bring together the
senators and representatives. More
over. for the same reasons the affairs
OF the world were slow, and interna-
tional affairs were dilatory. Itrequired
three months of time to cross the ocean;
and il took more than a month to com
municate with the statesmen in the
Mississippi valley-that river marking
the western boundary of the republic.
But when the nation expanded by the
Louisiana purchase and by the ces sions
from Spain and from Mexico, increased
numbers required increased CORE
spondence with public men. and still
there was no appreciable increase in
means of transportation. Of course.
the coming of steam made our water
ways available and steamboats, were
bringing our sovereign states closer to-
gether: and when railroads began to
gridiron the continent il became easier
to call the congress together more
speedily. But beyond the Rocky noun
tains were states and territories coming
into the republic, and only by boat by
way of Panama could presidential

same roundabout mslns could the
