It ia a ell known, air, that the present

There ia an apparalelied aearciiy of mo

J i not hetiuie to expreaa the opinion
that this it the i tfettanl beat time fot the
:aiJ.rjlioa and aJo(ition of each a mix
ure aa that propped by the bill DO a
under ewiderauan. Ia the fulness ol
hctlthend vigor, we of en overestimate
our atrength. In perioda of great gen

cat, eoimueree ta at fluuriahiog, and mo
ney m m abundant, we often greatly o

we can only bein to moe, we may feel
asaured that our vigor will increase aa we

under esitting circumstance, accompltah
what thia bill propose; 1 expert to ahow

lei ua, Mr. Speaker, in the first pUse.
xa'nine the diffeient proiions of the
biil. Ii propnes that the road ahall be
gin at thia place. K.leigh ia the capital
of the elate; the termination of one Rail
UiaJ, and in the vicinity of another,
which must ere long teach it. It ie near
the centre of the aula between the Nor
thern and S.whern bonndarjr. and in th
line of travel between the Cast and the
Wtat. The ttrminatioo of the ro d ia to;
be on the Tennetoee line, or at the town!
of Aahetille, It ia in the alteriutiv e for.
this rrason. If tho road ahoulU take it
four through the North Western coun
ties, it ought ur.qoeatioftably to b; coa
t nued io Tennessee. B-it if, on the otl.J
er hand, it should take a route through
tho middle or aouthern eouuties, which
. . t it
it appears to me, lor rrasona mat i win
presently atate. will be the moat eligible
location, then it muat inviiably paae
through Buncombe county. In tint event,
on i a reaching Ashville, it will find the
better rout from thence on to Tenueasee,
already occupied by tho Buncombe turn
pike. Tliat road, een now the best in
oar elate through the Alleghany range,

the specifications of the charter, which ie
frequently not its condition. This, tho
large profile of ita atockholders will ena
ble them to acompliah without any hard
hin. Such being the atate of tbinge.there
a n i need that the road from this place to

the b.U ia intentionally silent aa to the rout

Ia one word, sir, to combine utility ia
u" o'goeai degree wun economy, wiU
require saucb4ttme and ohservaitun. Ia
the eeeoud plaee, if, disregarding these
cooaideraiioaf, 1 abould fix the route, the
peaaara mast be defeated eat this floor.
Tbe aenatora reprcaenting the roontiea
off the line, believing, as they might well
do in many instances, that their counties
afforded a route as favorable aa that pro
rosed, would exclaim agaioat that anisic
uess aad injustice, by which their ronsd
tueuts were, wilhout a trial, cut off from
all chance of receiving tbe greatest beae.
fit. But if after a full examination, the
beat route is selected, ve should all ac
quiesce. N.ture baa then decided agaiast
u, aad we feel it to be our duty b sub
mil to ber decreee. This, eir, ia tbe on
ly mode by which euccese ia such mea
sure can be attained. Let ua tbea.
be content with fixing tbe extremes, and
leave to the board, alter a careful examl
natioo, t aelect that intermediate route
which will, attthe enulleat expenae, fam
uli the toad most beutficisl t Nona Ci
rJios. J
But egsia, Mr. Speaker, U ia argtd
that the work ia too extensive to be un
dertaken at eoeet that we ought to be
content with a aeciion only of one third
or one half of the duUnee. If a rait
to si were proposed, the completion of
which, even to the Yadkin, would ost
abort two milliona of dollars, then, air.
t ehould eoncur with the obitctoiv. If
die work could not be executed fat tie
whole distance without involving the state
in debt, then, wa ehould, as we have
been heretofore, be willing la bide our
time. iSttl at tba measure proposed in
this bill is entirely within our present
means, aa from its character it can be
completed aa easily in two yeara as in a
Of looter time! and eanecialtr at it ran
be most useful only when it ie finish
ed, why ehould we not go on to the
full extentf The West ie the region
most in wsnt of tbe rosd, the West will
be most benefited by it, and it ie the
Weet which has beea most neglected.
If therefore with the mesne in yonr
hsnda to relieve as, you delay it without
reason, your conduct will teem churlish
aud illiberal.
Is the work, Mr. Speaker, of such a
character that tho sl.le ought to execute
it? To establish the sffirmstive of thi.
it mutt, in the first place, be ma le lo ap
pear that the measure is a beneficial one
and eecondly that it will not he carried
ihiough by inJmduaW. As 1 shall hare
occasion presently to discuss the first of
these propositions, 1 will fir the pres
ent sssume die utility of the enterprise.
Will inditiJu.U, then, execute the work!
Il seems to me, sir, that theie ia no rev
eon to hope it. At tbe rate of tolls pro
vided by the biH", they .would not receive
a fair return from their investment.
Should the tolls be eo raised as to at.1
tempt to make the stock profitable, is it
not probable that the travel would be dti
ten from the roi'H ,
Even if this effect should not follow,
its value to our citizens would be great
ly diminiahed. I desire that thia road
shall be a great elate work for the bene.
fit of our ci:izmis, a central thoroughfare
between the East and the Weet: and the
advanlagee resulting therefrom to North
Carolina will amply repay her for the ex
pei.diture.
It is eid, however, and much stress,
it seems, ia to be laid upon the objection,
that a great waste of public money ie to
ensue, and that the board will expend
much more than tbe sum appropriated.
Tha building of thia Capitol is then al
luded to with an air of triumph, and we
are told that it haa eoat just ten times aa
much aa waa anticipated at ita commence
ment. Are the casea at all parrallelf
When the Legislature made the firat ap
propriation of fifty thousand dollars for
the capitol, it imposed no limitation on
the commissioners, end they, therefore,
expended that sum in laving the founda
tions of the edifice, if they had been
told that such a building only waa to be
constructed aa could be finished with that
aum, a different reault muat hate follow
ed. So it was with each aubsequent ap
propriation, they were merely voted with
the understanding that the building waa
to be continued and finished according to
the original plan. Beeidee, air, these
commissionera were responsible to nobo
dy. They were oisrely appointed by
the Legislature to expend the moneys
voted, a leak which they accomplished
with wonderful celerity and despatch.

tbe naturat grade of the surface; But I
bate, air, that to offer which Is entitled
to far more weight than any thing I could
aay on thia point, the opinion ol Mj.
Gaynn. Of hie ski I as an Engineer,
and of bis caador as a man, it ia onneesa.
tary for me to epeak. It is bis impres
sion, that the road may perhaps Ie made
for eight hundred dollars a mile; but he
isso we'd satisfied that one ihoostnd
dollara ia sufficient thst he tuihoiixea me
to say to the Senate that he is willing to
take the whole contract at that rac, and
tnjgive bond for ita execution.
The width of the graded portion ol the
road ia to be twenty-ta feel. Suppos
ingjthe elevation of ihe embankment or
road-bed to be eighteen inches, three
litnea that, a the ltd proposes lo be add
ed to the width, so aa to give tU a!opcs
t and a half foot base lo 1 fooltleoiioo,
together a Mi two feet additional on esch
tide, will mike the emire width between
the ditches thirty feet. 1 am aati-fied
that good policy deee not permit the road
way to be narrower than this. It is ho
ever, ptotided, that if great d.0itil::t
are eucountered, for example, deep si.le
eutting, on aaieep hill which cannoi be
avoided, then the graded aurface may
be reduced to fifteen feet. The maxi.
mum grade for the road is not to ex
ceed 3 degree;, or an elivttinn nf one
in twenty horizontal. Ttmithis can be
obtained wilhout aerioue difficulty, no
one will doubt who remember that ma
ny of our rail roade are limitted to a
grade of thirty feet to the mile, or one in
178. Though aome of them have per
haps attained an elevation of OJ fret to
ihe mile, or about ) id 60; yet tinea the
load a locomolite can carry on aueh i
road ta not more than one fourth the
usual one, it ie deemed adviaable a.
waya lo avoid such eteep "grades when
praaticable. It is turther to be consider
ed that the curvea on the tarnpike may
be far greater than the rail road will ad
mit. To increase the draft ae much
as may be practicable, no reasonable ef.
fort ehould be spared to render the road
aa nearly level aa practicable. Besides,
sir, I look forwsrd to the time when it
will become the interest of tha ata e
lo M'Adamixe the road, wholly or
in part. It ia desirable, therefore, llut
the road-bed ehould be ao conetructed,
that it may hereafter become the founda
tion uf a M'Atlamized road, if il should
be our iniereat to make it one. Accord
ing to tbe plan proposed in the bill, this
contingency will be completely provided
for. Nor will there be any lues whate
ver ef labor or money in converting the
one sort of road into the other. Ia some
inslsnces, whea ihe only object is ta con

in move cases where the turnpike pass
ed through a village or other p tint,
where a number of roade come together.
In that event, it would be right for the
Board to compound the mater wit:i such
citizens, and allow a part of them to work
othrr roads since the Ubir of the residue
might be euflh-ient for keeping the turn-
pike i.t repair in ihe vicinity, r ro.ti these
provisions, 1 think that adtmiae would
rnsuli alike to Hie citizens and to the
Board. Major Gwynn thinks that filty

ate ten handa on the (our miles, or two
and a half on each square mile (and ihe
actual number will aterige this at ieat)
they will, at fite data per hand, expend
filty days labor, an amount eufGcient to
keep the road in good repair.
Tbe last section of the bill, Mr. Spesk

from the town ol FaycitetiHe, to aume
point on the line of the turnpike, at least
serenty miles West of Raleigh Also in
the event of the main road's going to the
South of Wilkea County, it dtrecta a sur

anJ that repoite of each of these surtsys
