tlemen, prominent in both parties, gave the mea
sure theirisUDDOrL - 'This the ovntTemsn admits.
It is equally true, that the Legislature of 1836,
that so deeply involved the State in interest with
. the Raleigh and Wilmington Road, was under
the control of the Democrats. That measure, as
is admitted, and which the Journal proves, re
ceived the support of good men on both sides.
The Stale, by the action of several Legislatures
has become Interested in both, and alike involred
with both. . The origin of these adventures had
nothing, to do with party as party considerations.
If it Were otherwise, 1 should not feel the action
of either party aa a precedent binding on me. If,
on a survey of the whole ground, I should dis
cover error in the former views of my political
friends I Should have no desir tn noraiat in it -
on the contrary, a suggestion from a Democrat
which my judgment approved, and which tended
to promote the interest of the State, I would re
ceive'and act opon. . .-
The history of the country would shew, that
these Rail Roads did not have their origin in
Whig inventions. They originated with gentle
men belonging to both parties. The mass In-
not. JNo oarticular individual or set of man aaL-
for the charter, to give'extraordinary activity and
profit to their capital. The persona, who may be
induced to become the corporators, that the pub-
Jic convenience requires, are unknown. There
are no favorites, whose interes's are to be ex
clusirely promoted by this bill. Why are the
creditors so constantly in the ere of oolitical tren
tlemen ? .Is it because those who stand in a con
