It is a tide to which there is no return. on which is departing the wealth and population of our Country. J..-li;nd it desolation flllows, and obliterates the very vestures of cit. thzation. In sections of vuiir 1 cvate, w here it would Kt-em tint nature had been lavish of her bounties where i fertile toil apparently holds eul encouragement to the farmer, the saa.e destructive imhieiices are actively at work. From the fertile Rice lands near your Sea Coast, up to the very foot of the .Mountains, the same scenes are exhibited, aud the plan ter u'ton the Cape I'ear abandons his home and his house hold rom I, and in his precipitate course to the W est, joins the throng- already hurrying thither from the Yad kin and the Catawba. Tun. where you will, deserted fields, dilapidated habitations and a d;scontented people meet your ees, and in some porticnsof the State, the ancient forest is :traic resuming its .lominioii over the ruait d works t f man. Tint these are not mere phan toms of the in:amn:it;on, 1 apeal to the Senators who surround me.

Bat thee aie tnerc secondary a tvnntsos which maj serve to allure the traveller, and to attract the curious North Carolina commands elements far more powerful. Within the .in!'le county of Lincoln, there are treasures w hich to the State are invaluable. The Iron Mines of this region emu', if th'-y do not exceed, any known in the world. The ores arc of so Cue a quality that in their crude state they are el most milleable, so rich that thy repay the moot wa.-tetul and injudicious smelting, ar.d so abundant that they are to be found in every di-r-cTion. At tntid nature has prop i red the most abun hrit water ne.ver. and a profusion of all the means of turning it to the beet account.

Let me r.sk why is all this! Why is it that the sons of the North have seized all the treasures which their country n-ey. have converted the rocks ot Massachu setts, and the sands of Connecticut and Rhode Island into seats of civilization ; into towns and villages ditfu Sir the reason is but too obvious. I blush to confess it. It is owinjr to ourselves, to the want of public spirit miotfg the pc-vplo of the So'ith, to their neglect of all those means upon which is founded national happiness, to the refusal todevc-iope and to open avenues to the re sources of the country, iir I am not mistaken in as- I signing these as thecans s.

These gentlemen, with a sigacity be yond all praise, developed the effects which would thus be produced upon the State at large, an 1 brought to view a survey and Report marie by a competent and practi cal hngmcer. In this Report, the natural union be tween North and South C:i ruiirin in curl. i.-.rL nl laded to, and it is stated that the geographic ildiv is- i..n to the South-Carol ma line e.aturiillv falls in with the system of Internal Improvement contemplatel by North-Carolina, whose western frontier includes the head waters of the Tennessee. It then presses a nail Koad from .Newborn, bv wav of r ayetteville and Charlotte, to the foot of the Blue Ridge, and says, 41 it seems clear that afier the place and manner of passing uie jj.ne Kidge ls deeded on. the rest is easy. In comr.ienMng on the subject, the Convention say, that uy way ot illustration they will consider the etiect to prHii:ced o-. bu. a sini;! item. Salt. Of this indis pensable article, it is stated that Iredell county, con sumes on an annual average huhels. I lie or dinary co-t in ti.e I'aslern mark ts is -I'd tofn) cents per hu-hi-l. It now costs when it reac!ie fie Ire-iell plan ter s1,."m) cents p.-r bnh !, making tn ta I.OO to 1,10 cents p r bu-l -I lor tr;msp.,rtation. It 1 supposed that tins hy Rail Read may be reduced to iT cents Thus e-he-vmg that iijun the article of s;dt alone, ro annual tax for want of convenient transportation is Jeue-i upon oil" county of i.7o() dollars. Suppose upon a moderate calculation, that there are 30 other portions of ti.e "t ile in a like situation; and vve shew by a simple process i.f arithmetic, exclusive of what is paid by oili er portions not mentioned upon the same article, there is an annual drawback upon the labor of the Stite of $1 12,500. Carry out the principle and the mind would he overwhelmed with astonishment in the confuta tion." It may well be conceived, Mr. Speaker, that Norlh Carolma deemed ibis Rail-Road of immense iuiportHi.ee to her, even for the dev elopement of her own resources. Hut when it was taken 111 connection with the commerce ot ti.e West, it assumed still more imposing magnitude. .Of the advantages of a Southern outlet, the Conven tion were well aware, for they particularly bring to view the fict " that during five months, the Northern Canals are closed by iee ; that of Pennsylvania four months; that of tlio Potomac three months; and the Ohio is generally frozen for some months." It was therefore, that the scheme proposed b'came of an en-gros-ing character, and would have induced the State to make every exertion for its accomplishment. Rut the diiliculty and expense of passing through the mon-t.-iins exceeded the mans of North-Carolina, and on tiiat account the project was deferred. This difficulty and expensive part of the rout the Cincinnati and Charleston Rail-Road Company now, proposes to nuke. They undertake tosc.-.Ic the Blue Ridge at a poiiit in your State. They propose, with united means, to overcome the barriers which you found too strong for your pintle powers; and when an outlet is thus secured, in the language of your Engine-, r, 44 the rest is easy." The path to the Ocean is open both to North and South Carolina. You have already, under the Charter a right to join whatever Road you please to construct; and rest assured, thai should you con-; struct that proposed by your Convention, there will be an abundant harvest both for that and for the Road to Chirleston. Indeed, it may well le doubted whether yu will not reap the most profitable portiou of the bar-, vest. Suppose, for instance, that the Road now being con structed from Raleigh to Gaston be continued through Fayctleville, Charlotte or Salisbury, to meet the Cin cinnati and. Charleston R.wd at tiie foot of the moun tains Is it not obvious thnt all the passengers fro.n th! South or West lm hive gone up to Knoxville with the intention of passing on to Baltimore, Richmond, or iiny point North, will, take the Charleston Road, until they get ih rou irh the, inountians; from whence your Rfvid will conduct them directly to their destination Will not this be the current during all the summer months; and will it not probably draw off" even those from the upper parts of South Carolina and Georgia, who intend going North! Will not the same result follow with such articles of produce as are wanted in ihe lower parts of North Car lina, cither from the V extern counties of your own States ; and will not these eon irnimicatior.s opon a mar ket, and increase the value of land all along the line '. Nay, will it not open to Payettevillc an increase of trade down the river ! There is another point cf view, in which this Road will still further benefit your State. Many of the pis-senrc-rs who goto Charleston from the lower sections of the Road, ami from Tennessee, will thence desire to go on to the North, -s they now do. Of course, being iin'tiu-t.'Min.l t tfiO crn tHfcV will take shortest a. id least dangerous navigation. As soon, therefore as your j Wilmington and Roanoke Rail-Road I is comnlelpil anu the Steam Boat line establisiie 1 to Charleston, you will attract to this route all these travellers. The tempta tion you will offer them is a voyage of a single day be tween sunrise and sunset, and the avoidance of a night I'lyatc ni.iu.i.. upv m r r-.,...

Consider for a moment the diiTiculties encountered in the various changes which goods must undergo be tween N w- York and Cincinnati. First a Sloop must ascend the North River to Albany then a Cnnal Roat must tike its place to Rnlialo then another Sloop to f Cleavclamj then a Canal Boat to IVt ts-mr-utb, and men a Steam i.at to Cincinnati. Throughout ail fii'-se changes, separate agents must he employed, and addi tional risk and expense must be incurred. The same difficulties exist a. Phil id. Ip.'ii.i, ind yet they carry on 1 trade with advantage to both parties. But when it is considered that even this coiranunication is obstruc ted by ice for great purl of the year, the disa vantages are greatlv increased. Upon a computation made last year, it was ascertained that at one time a least two millions of dollars worth of goods bound to the West, were frozen up in these Canals. Iow, ihe Southern Route avoids all these difficulties, it requires no chan ges of conveyance no multiplication of agents and is subjected to no unc-Ttainty in delivery, either from ice or delay. More than all, it is the least distance to the Sea, and offers a market which needs the very produce which the Road will convey. Is the Road practicable physically! This question too, has been answered again and again. But the opin ion of Maj. M'Neilf, than whom a mere scientific Kn gineer cannot' be found, is conclusive on this point. He expresses 4,iis deeirfed conviction, not only of !he en tire rllACTIC ABILITY OF THE PROJECT, btit of its COM PARATIVELY E.VifTi EXECUTION" Hut nothing can be more conclusive of the faith of South Carolina in the bchenie, thin tiie fact, that she has subscribed towards it, one million of dollars from her share ot the Surplus Revenue. And this furnishes too, an additional reason, why .North Carolina should embrace the scheme. By the estimates cf the Engi neers, it appears that least three millions of dollars, or about one fourth of the capital of the Company will be required to make the Road thrtejh North Carolina.. This State, will therefore, actually receive one fourth of South Carolina's share of the Surplus Revenue, and her citizens will have distributed among them the im- menjp sum of three millions of Dollars. And this too, j for the purpose of making a fixture which cannot be re- j moved, which will constitute a part of the State, be subject to its laws, increase its revenues ami enhance the value of land in all the adjoining counties. Cun any man compute the advantages to result from such an outlay of Capital, and the benefits to be deceiv ed both by individuals, and by the Slate 1 These then, are among these advantages which this Road offers. Need I ask the Senate, whether they are worthy the efforts which are demanded to secure them? Need 1 now ak whether you will accept the hand of fellowship which I have offered you, and advance with us to the undertaking? I see the generons spirit of the South has warmed your hearts 1 see that your judg ments are sat isfied that you now ask only, that I shall exltiht the means by which this great enterpie is to be accomplished. Unfortunately, the means provided by the present charter have proved wholly inadequate. Mere private subscription has b-en unable to raise more than of the hi in required by the eotimales. The books were open ed under the charter, and by some evil coincidences, the subscriptions at the West, whly failed, and South Carolina almost alone had to undertake the tas-k of sub scribing the four millions necessary to secure ti:e char ter In doin this her citizens have taxed their strength to the utmost; end the apathy of the other sections shows how futile are all expectations of further subscriptions, without some additional inducements. Eight millions more are necessary and these can only be procured by the offer of advantages sufficient to attract the invest ment of c.-t pisal. Even those who have already sub subscribed, dishenrted by the lukewarmness of other Slates, and sec mg that the means now at command are insufficient to ehict the obj-ct, have co ne to toe deter- mnt'iiion id an u uivpi- o.i.iuiaiici,uiuw devised for procuring additional funds. We are thus brought to the issue there is no mode of evading it Additional subscriptions can only be procured by a grant of Banking privileges.

We have no-.v ri-ic':-i a crisis. Around 1:3 on every side, our couutry .e.i ars advancing with ait energy, beyond example, towards prosperity sine power.

They ire ready with but slight encouragement to adv.-u.ee in this "lorious race, tour" their every power in behalf of the State, and to turn bacK the tide of commerce to (Mir shores. If vve lend them our sympathies if vve t' rant the aid which thev require ail is s.fe, and our country must prosper and improve.

The simple enquiry then is, will you eecounter all these evils wi!J you forego all the advantages upon which 1 have descantpj ; or will you, in order - euro them grant Bunking privileges to the co j an y from which they are to be derived ? To resolve this question, it seems merely necessarv to ascertain wh. tiier the people of North Carolina will i;uin more ny the road than they will lose bv tiie g ant of a Bank charter The advantages of the n-adliave been already presented.

W hen this proposition was originally started in South Carolina, there arose not a little clamor about the danger from Banks the derangement of the currency, anil a nost 01 o.uer vague phantoms were conjured up, where withal to alarm the tiniid. Very little observation soon made the discovery, that the greatest portion of this noise proceed from those who were intererte'i m other Banks.
