As citizens of North -Carolina, we ought to cultivate a more intimate acquaintance, , and by the adootion of; suitable measuresr to raise our State from that humble stati on which she has so long and so tamely submitted to occupy, to the rank and importance" to which she is so justly entitled; It is enough to keep us in poverty to pay the annual revenue to the general government, whilst scarce ly any public expenditure is made with in our own: borders; arid while out citi zens are carrying the products of their .farms to a neighboring state, there build ing up towns and increasing the wealth jual, and indeed superior advantages which might bb held but to them at home.;' ' -X V'r':: The ountr between the Pee Dee and the Catawba is nrobablv. the rich est part of N. Carolina. The people are generally, in good circumstances ; moral and intelligent, & without bounds' to their hospitality.. ! Itis to be regret-, ted that they have all their commercial transactions in South -Carolina, noton 1y on account of the pecuniary loss to thft Rtafi. Tvit al en nn onpnnnf rT necessary intercourse which must be kept up with those places to which they trade, and the conseauerices! which must npvv therefrom 5 feelings arid partial mes for, the institutionsof-ibur neigh hors are acquired, arid the direct claims of our own institutions of a similar kind, entirely overlooked. Tlie young men, vhen prepared for college are sent to .the seminaries of our sister states to 'nmnlete theired u cation, " and ' rem rn me afier eX usualHernu with feel sJg of contempt arid disgust against theland of their nativity-and childhood, nd m most iristances,eize the first opportunity of exchanging their resi- c-epce for some part of the union occu pying a more elevated rank." h Any.thi ng tending to change, in dny degree, the Psent unfavorable state of things -in respect, must be hailed by those who feei a real interest in the prosper J w ur State, with heartfelt satisfac :!on and on such the establishment of beforementioned line of stages, cari n&t be uninteresting. : Persons who would be willingto con tact for carrying the - Mail from Fay ttevi le to Salisbiirv; or from FavPttVl e l2 pharlritte, in a two norse stase. rm the trin oiir.ft a !i WppL-. will ase make their propositions, address to thf Pr,. w nL' ' i' all this mouth riThe oMect t ascertain in the most xertain man-con- v-. i f tract actHal .pense of such TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED ' STATES, " V The : Memorial and Petition-of the Citizens oj the fl oxon of Fayettewlle, JYorth-Carolitia :' The consequence of the great and increas ing intercourse between the States of Ten nessee and: North-Carolina, the convenience and better : security of the mail communica tion, as well as the personal accommodation of the citizens of the respective. States, ren ders it important that thef alt westwardly should be transported in a line of stages It is therefore respectfully suggested to vour Honorable .Body, to instruct the Post-Master General to contract fo 'carrying the large AVternMail in Stages from Fayetteville, North-Carnlmar by th e way of Salisbury, or via j Rockingham, "(Richmond 'Cot: rt-Housei) Wadesbonugh, Charlotte, Lincblnton, Mor ganton, Asheville and the Warm Springs, to Newport in Tenn ssee, there to finite with a similar line from Nashville and Knoxville at such times and subject to such modifications of the proposed route. , as in the opinion of that officer, the public interest mav require. ,5 wusr-i.! :i..S' ::'!': -1 j 1 11c iiiumaic connexion wnicii necessarily subsists between -the : States of Tennessee and North-Carolina, and the ties of fanHily and kindred arising from so large a portion of the- original population of Tennessee havjng emigrated from this State, require that every reasonable facility should be extended to the intercourse between the two states. . The existing arrangement for j the trans portation of the Mail does not', however, hold ut such facilities ; and to the foresroin con sideration, applicable alike to each State, may ; be added, on the part of the citizens of Nor,th-Carojina, "the extent of their titles to western Lands..: 1 ne importance of this in terest, the rel itions, whicli it of course gives rise to, and the necessity which often exists for safe and speedy communication on sub jects connected with it, make it desirable tpat ; more convenient opportunities for that purpose should be afforded, than are now attainable. Such an alteration should in jus tice take place, as will prevent the necessity of their adopting for security and expedition, (as they are now not unfrequently compell ed to do) so distant and circuitons a route as that by Richmond, Va. and even Washington City, in sending le ters to" Nashville, Mur freesborough, and Other places in Tennes see;; or obliging those interested in land claims, or other business in that state, to re sort to a special agency. ; " The security of the mail, it seems to be admitted,; is more erTectually "attained by transportation in stages, than by any other mode; Nvhile, at the same time,, the adop tion of this course greatly ; promotes the ac commodation oi the citizen in the way of personal intercourse. The advantage, of the proposed, arrangement would be. very con siderable,1 not to the two states more particu larly interested merely, but to the United States at large. On the one hand, the con venience of the citizens of Tennessee travel ling to the seaboard or to the Northern ci ties, on commercial business, and that of the citizens of the Western part of North-Carolina in their intercourse with the Eastern to Fayetteville, Newbern and Wilmington ; and on the other, the resort of the low-country people in the surtwner to the healthy upper country, and to the medicinal spring or that district, which the contemplated lin would pass through, present to your Fetitioners an additional reason why the measure should Be carried into eifect. j v, TThe increased expense; of a stage trans portation of the. present Western Mail from Fayetteville to NashvilJe, it is believed, would be inconsiderable, ri.any. Hie Horse; Mail, whiW now leaves this place, once a week, owing to tne increased circulation of News papers, is become too large to be carried in that Way, and will soon, in any event, requife' Another mode of Conveyance. Besides, part of the existing line might be discon inuetl, on tne proposed one going into operation ; and the increased -security and expedition which the . contemplated transportation of the mail would give, would have an immedi ate tendency to increase the letter and! news paper carriage on that line, and consequent ly, the revenue out of which the expense Qt supporting it is tu be defrayed. ; . . Your Petitioners, in suggesting this route, would disclaim the idea of seeking any un due preference to their own individual in terest, or of entertaining a belief that j in ad justing the details of the propos- d route, any considerations would influence! Hs location, but the? sole aim, to afford the gi-eatest pub lic convenience to the largest number of those who are to be more immediately benefitted by the measure, j. They would, however, take the liberty of noticing some facts, which, in their opinion, render I'uyetteville the most suitable place for the; termination Eastward Iy of this line, either over Cheraro or Cuihlks T05, in South-Carolina, or any other town in this State v ! :7r ; Fayetteville is situated on tile main North ern and Southern Stage Road, and that Mail arrives and Ueparts'daily in stages: j. Fayetteville is SLUistiibuting FOst-Office, and the only one on the lute between Petersburg, Va. and Augusta, Geo. thus presenting by its central situation, a convenient point for the termination 'of this hue: V I .Letters directed from Charleston to Cheraw (and so vice versa") first arrive at this place by the Charleston Mail Staged via Godfrey's Fer ry, and are sent to Cheraw by the Columbia and Camden Mail Stage. ; The distance between Fayetteville and New port is about 296 milesthrough athickly set tied and abundant country, which distance might b e accomplished hi stages convenie nt ly in &.6r 7 day s. From this place vand by tliis route, travellers from Tennessee, 'Alaba , ma, Mississippi and the upper part of Geor gia, would ; have a convenient " n ode of con veyance or ieUer communication--To Charles ton , ; by Godfreyf s ferry, ;in the Mail Stage, which departs daii: tTo Washington' City,' by. Raleigh Petersburg, " and Riciimohd," by i daily, stages- To Wilmington,7 by Mail Stage, three times'a week, which Stage runs thrbugii in a day; To" New-York, Ptouadelphia," aad Baltimore by the Norfolk- Stage,; which also arrives and departs thrice a week, and per forms the distance in three. days, and com pletes the journey between Fayetteville and New;York, m 6 days. Thus attprdmg to tne of the Mail Stasres from Poweltoni Georgia, through Charlotte, to Fredericksburg, in Vir ginia, a converileht and expeditious route, for the purposes either of business or pleasure. It- In conclusion, as the greater part of the contemplated route would of necessity pass through the upper counties of N. Carolina, a section of country peculiarly identified in its agricultural and commercial interests with this town, and whose views and wishes would hot be met by anv other direction and termi nation of the line and as through all that distance the line would traverse roads leading to Fayetteville, which the Legislature of N. Carolina have made large and liberal appro priations for improving, and that too, with the avowed intention of facilitating the inter course between the western and eastern sec tions of the State; and of building up and fos tering a large commercial town within its own borders, for the accommodation of its citizens and the de velopement of its ow nati ve , re sources it appears but reasonable. , tkat cla;rris so well founded,1 ought, in. the event of con flicting pretensions, to secure to youivMemo- rialists a decided preference. And your Per titioners, as in duty bound will ever pray. - An act rewardihe the officers and crews of j two igigf, lor mall boats, under the -com-I mand of Lieutenant Francis H.
