Ouo;ht v.e then
vestigation for
to delay such an in-
a moment ? Its cost
cannot be much, and it must lead to
some impoilant is«;ues, with which at
present we ate too liitle acquainted.
If we can find a level to a seaport
town, through the lower pait of our
State, on which a locomotive engine
can run (iOorbO niiles, rarryinr^50 tons,
miles an hour, it is such an instance
of conveyance as is i,ot likely to be

consulting the enli*^htened wishes of
the people, uniting the resources and
faithful counsels of various minds, to
obtain a perfect knowledge of the sub
ject, to see its difliculties, to devise the
means of removing or surmounting
them, to combine the best expedients ;
and thus at last to conduct, if possible,
a plan for the relief of common em*
barrassment, and for securing the general
prosptrity, by safe means, to a happy
conclusion. If fifty thousand dollars
can be raised by the small individual
))ayment so often mentionec!, and the
people of the difierent counties, or a
large proportion of them are prepared
for such a step, let it be done the very
ensuing year. We shall assureelly all
tVel, that no time is to be lost. Had this
been done three years ago, with the
same lisht and experimental knowledgi-
as now flow ip upon us from other parts
of our country and the world, not one
of us would have been aflected in our
fortunes or interests, by the dollar and
seventeen cents to which it vvould have
now amounted. Yet we should by this
time have been realizing the advantages
of bringing our produce to a Railway
at Ualc igh or some poii;l above it, and
of conveying if, if we pleased, even to
the seacoast, for less than iive cents a

advances, the regular collection of that

Banks, which TTOuld doubtless o.fTer it
pon the assurance of the Slate, that it
should be replaced at the close of the
year. In tliis manner a hundred
thousand dollars is instantly put into
action in 182!). Can it be supposed that
when the purpose of the State is thu*
unequivocally manifested, an equal sum^
lor which we should look to the sub-
cription of capitalists in our own and
other Stales, would not be made up
eren with avidity, and in the best
hands ? This subscription, it will be
remembered, is invited with the proi-
pcct cf seven or eight per cent, until
Ihe principal shall be returned, and it
•ould become profitable to the siibEcri-
hers at the end of the year.—Having
thus at command the total sum of tv,t>
hundred thousand dollars, we should ir\

road completed. I'his is upon the sup
position already made, of 2500 dollars

the Lehigh Railroad, for 80 miles at

threatening a Canal, and keej)ing us
tremblingly in suspense, first in the dis-
covery of its precarious route, and then
afterwards, not only till it is finished,
but for a year longer, till it shall have
been fully tried, and all its failures de-
ttcted anil repaired. These are evils
w’ith which it is a serious matter to con
tend, for they keepahvethe weakening
apprehensions of the timid, and ar*
potent weapons in the hands of opposi
tion.
Admittiug all this lo be accomplished,
we are now arrived at the moment whea
the whole scenc is changed. That
\yhieh till now was a subject of anticipa
tion, however W’oll founded, is now
brought to the touchstone of experiment.
The IIarlo\/ Canal vvould be open for
steamboats. New merchants from our
own and other States, in the prospect
)f gain, would have flowe(’ into New
born and Beaufort, and the old ones
would have enlarj^cd their means of
business to the utmost. Thus would
be created all the rivalship and eajjital
necessary to ensure the best market to
the agriculturist. A locomoiive engin©
would run through the whole distance
in a few hours, with the advantago of
reducing the price^r..'” conveyance, by
carrying.50 tons in its train. The cntir©
population of our extensive sounds and
their tributary rivers, would see them
beginning to (lisj)lay a frequented
theatre of steamboats, moving ten mile»
an hour. It it such a revolution as 7nnst
he felt. No longer would ♦he trade of
North-Carolina be seen runnii.g away
to Norfolk. That place, as a'i the in
habitants of those counties know-, ha»
long been declining, and is »iOw sunk
to a very low ebb. It is siruo-gJ:rig to
maintain itself and revive its hopes, by
enlarging the gorge of the Elizabeth
Canal, and thus preparing to swallow
and subsist upon our spoils. It is for
us to say, w'hethe» the commcrccj of all
that portion of our State, shall ccntre
tl'iCre or at Beaufort. 'I'his grand ques
tion may be decided in a ve/y short
time, and happily the doci‘ion is in our
ow'n j)OW(;. It is for us t(i sav wljether
we will direct the whole tiade of the
interior part of our country by a Rail
road to Newbern, and by conibinin;^
with it that of the AlhewaHe aud Tam-
!ico, raise Beaufort as with a wanJ in
to a populous and commercial seaport.
If WC can only be satisfied that iiuch a
ture. In cnc' year, we camiut doubt j rotisummaiion is easily within our power,
that the whole subject ran be explained it certainly is, and that it ought to be
to the entire satisfaction of all. Jf at j commenced and prosccuied, it is ob-
tho and of the time we sl.al! IVcl pre-j of consequence that A bc’.vith ar,
