He explained to the meetiog that their support was not asked forto the Panama route 8 a main line, bat asa subsidiary one, To the objection which has been privately urged that the adoption of the Panama route woul! to tend to Americanize the colonies, Mr. De Salis replied that be was surprised to hear such argument in the middle of the nineteenta tary, and that Austraila could no more be ated from Ameri an London from Paris or Liverpool from New York.
