If the Caughnawaga Canal were constructed, as we have shown in previous articles, tno produce of the Wes} which now goes down the American canale from Buftale and Oswego, would uMMNM down the 84. Lawrence river to Lachine, which would thus become the pojnt of distmbution for Wostern produce as well as for the lumâ€" ber of the Ottaws Valley. Lachine would rise from its present proportions and. be come. an important commercial cenatre, and in so doing, so far from proving inâ€" jurious to Montreal, must add very much to the prosperity and importance of that city. A large and constantly growing popâ€" ulation would spring up around Lachine which © would | of _ necessity . resort to Montreal for its supplies. Itis in faot impossible to see how anything which benefits Laching, can fail in an equal proâ€" portion to benefit Montreal, because from the position and near contiguity of the two, their interest; must, be identical on all subjects of any magnitude and importance In fact if the Caughnawaga Canal were conâ€" structed, and Lachine harbour became, as we believe it woulddo, the distmbuting point t»r grain and lumber going either to the English or American markets, we are not induiging in 4 too sanguine hope when we uggest the of seeing in a fow mmz'cily of Montreal and the village of!
