VL - Having explained aorne of the reasons for commencing and prosecuting a Rail roadT through our State, It Jsnow pro. poietTTo show morepartkularIf the ad" vantages to result to the people individu. ally, whatever may le their situation in different ptrts of the country. Were it to profit a few only, and not large pro portion of our population, this would be so serious an objection, that we might well be met with the inquiry, " What It this to me f Are alt these pains to be ta ken, and this expenditure of lunds incur red, and after all, is a particular part of the country only to be benefited, while I am to remain under the pressure of the same difficulties f If 1 am to pay my arure into the Treasury for a public im provement some of the advantages ought to be eojoyed by me in return. If it be so, no matter how small a payment you ask, I shall feel myself oppressed for the benefit of another. Let us then examine prove and the construction of Canal. Our Rivers are so numerous, th'at to provide by taxation for nuking them all navia ble must be -led to some future period, when our population shall be more dense, their wealth increased, and their re sour ces enlarged. To open any one of out larger riveriand di the canals neceisjry to make it navigable to a' seaport, thn whole atrength of the State must be con centrated upon i:. not for one year only, but perhaps lot three or four. In the mean time It is for one port I m of the people only, that the expense fills vpor. the whole, and far the greater part mu-tt postpone indefinitely to future time their prospects of shating in the benefits of such unwieldy plns. We all knothat we shall never ot a peopf consent to measures so partial and burdensome. were -sve to nireci -our auemps upon u with united force, would be more than the people would be leconciled to en dure; the expense of improvements upon numbers of them at the same time, would in.-Te.slitt.J)e oppresslveJu theextreme, amounting to a taxation, or cHc incur ri; a debt, to. which it is visionary to sup pose that we should ever submit Far different from such a system is the provision of a single Railroad for the accommodation of all the people -within a ieaMaWe "structure calls for not more than one fourth of the whole sum necessary lor the improvement of any one of our important Rivera with the requisite Canals, especially if we would avoid the result of having nut commerce terminate in the neighboring States. We shall be requited then to show it to be a real and unquestionable truth, that the plan recommended is for the personal in terest of each. That it is so to all per fectly alike, it would probable be admit ted hardly reasonable to expect, but if all material difficulties shall be removed put of each man's way to a certain and easy market, it is not believed that he will be disposed to swell trivial differences of op portunity into causes of serious objection against that by which his great purpose shall be effected, and his essential inter ests evidently and completely secured- The following list of places and distances is to put it into the power of every inhab tutu of our interior country to determine for himself and his neighbors how nearly they are interested in such a Railroad as is proposed,' by showing him tmr dis- tance ot it trom his own house in a direct line. The list is alphabetical, rendering it easy to find the name of the Court house, and aeveral o'her places in the comity in which he lives. From the dis tances of these in miles, as given in the numbers, he can form -judgment of his own. i he letters M and a will shew that the' place he finds is north or south of the Railroad. mutt.

A person h supposed live at Concord in Cabarrus, or in the vi cinity of that placp Looking into the list he finds that he will be situated 26 miles south from the Railroad. He knows then that as soon as that work thall be com pleted, let it-be said at the end of four or five years, he has at any time only to load hin waggon in the evening, to make an early start the next morning, and with a little diligence he will be. at the Railroad in the evening of that day. Lines of wag gons run daily, receiving a.nd carrying goods on tne runway, rcguiaicu in times and distances by law, and therefore re sponsible for failure, mailing each other in accommodation and cheapness of con veyance. The least rale at which they travel is with ten tons to a horse, the hor ses changing every ten or twelve miles, and at four miles an hour night and day. This is to have the goods carried pre cise 96 mil?? in twenty fours. We shall . ' . ' II I 1 . I be sate in saving it win oe iw owes iu tfiat time. Now if one horse and one man or boy can carry -ten-tone- 00 -miles in twenty four hours constantly, it is easy to calculate, and so reduce it to a certain ty, that the charge of conveyance from Lexington which is 250 miles, is not more than twenty five cents and a half. It was intended to spread out this calculation to show the reader to his entire satisfaction the correctness of its principles, and the truth of its result. Our space will not admit of it in the present number, but it is our purpose to give it in the next; be lieving it to be tne wisn oi eery renoer thHt iinay te pp of "'result in which if it be undeniable',' it is impossible not to see that he is most deeply interested.

I was placed in no " dilemma," as a majority of my constituents had voted for the " Cmwloid titktt," and I had nothing to apprehend from a second choice. But his Excellency asserts, he saw no one " better pleased" with the re sult than myself. Now, it so happens, that I left the House immediately after tSe election, in a hack with a friend, whose name, when contrasted with that of Jot. Ktnt, would be as the diamond to charcoal, whoould and would testify to the indignation I felt and expressed at the trick -and legwdSmain by which the election had been carried- With his Excellency Jos.
