" Owing to the delay in the appointment of the Commissioners they did not reach Panama until after the Congress had adjourned and it never again re-assembled. In 1835 a resolution was adopted by the Senate of the United 128 THE PACIFIC OCEAN IN HISTORY States calling upon the President to open negotiations with the governments of other nations and especially those of Central America and New Granada for the protection of those who mjght undertake the construction of a canal across the Isthmus an...d for the purpose of securing forever the free and equal right of navigating such canal to all nations upon payment of reasonable tolls. In 1839 the House of Representatives adopted a resolution re- questing the President to consider the expediency of negotiating with other nations for the purpose of ascertaining the practicabil- ity of effecting a communication between the Atlantic and Pacific by the construction of a ship canal and for the free and equal right of navigating it to all nations. Neither of these resolutions obtained any practical result, but that of the House of Represent- atives seems to be the first suggestion of the construction of an in- ter-oceanic canal by the American government.
