NATIONAL DEFENCE.
ARTIFICIAL CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION.
CANALS.
Origin ; classification — Lines from east to west, or from the great rivers of the At- lantic to those of the Valley of the Mississippi — Lines connecting the latter with the Lakes and with the St. Lawrence — Line parallel to the coast — Most import- ant canals in the United States — Recapitulation.
The primary object which the Americans, in constructing their canals, sought to secure, was the connection of the large capitals on th
...e Atlantic border, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Richmond, and Charleston, with the rich territory watered by the Ohio, the Mississippi, and the great Lakes. The only obstacle. They had to surmount, in establishing these lines, was the Alleghany Mountains.
Among the most honorable and enlightened of the men who, immediately after the achievement of their independence, directed their attention to the means of improving the navigable channels of communication, we are happy to cite the names of Franklin, Morris, Rittenhouse, Gallatin, De Witt Clinton, Geddes, and others, at the head of whom we must naturally place Washington, the father of his country.
