Illinois, Michigan, and by their means with Missouri and Arkansas, on the west of the Mississippi, together with Kansas and the boundless regions of the far West. The California railroad, which will have its eastern terminus at St. Louis, will give us a fair chance for the trade of California itself and of China and the East Indies through San Francisco. The communication of the Ohio with the Mississippi will give the canal a fair sweep at the whole cotton region of the Mississippi, the Red river and Texas. We will thus be placed in a condition to contest the palm of commerce with the other States which have already worked their way to the Father of Waters, and we shall be enabled to do so under the most favorable circumstances.
