Bat, before eoBtlading. auffer ana to aay thia thing of eon laiag one man to aix per eenL, and then grant ing a charter in perpetuity to otbera to ieeat two or three dollara for one, whereby tiney ara enabled to make from ten to fifteen percent, oa the capital,, per annum, ia wrong a mon atroaa wrong and a wrong that ought not to bo eubmitted to ia a fret country. Tbeae ex daaiea nrivilegea ahould nerer be granted by the Legialatara, without an equivalent ia paid for them by the partiet to whom they are grant ad. klr. Chairman, I hold it to be morally im- poeeible for oato eoatinut oar preaent policy, aad oor people remain proaperoua and eontent- to. intra m too mocn monopoly in it. onort 1t after the Declaration of Independence, Lord Chatham ramarked. if tht Americana funded all their revolutionary debt, aad adopted the bankiac ayatea of Earope. they have foojrbt tbeir- battle, and eetabliabed tbeir indepen dence ia vain,' for a nenied ariatocracy would aoen einor ap, that would be etrong enoueh to rule the country. And it ia a remarkable fact, that the founder of our government aeem ed to take the aanie view of tbeae matter at that time. Tbev agreed to fund a very email portion of the public debt.' and it ia a fact that may not I renerally known, tbat the Dr-t bank tSat waa ever chartered in ibirf country, waa tnt bank at xsorin America. Alter tni bank went into operation in Philadelphia, it waa ao proeperoas, that it m enbU-d to dec tare, fur the firi year. 12 per cerft. dividend upon it capital atuvk, an J the next year aome thing Jike 1$. per cent. Tbi rendered the bank ao exceedingly obooxiu to the people of Fennejit an, tbat the Iejtmiture waa forced to repeal the charter of the bank to quiet them. I know that there are aome who are (or free trade and tailor' right in all thing, and contend it make no dififerrr.ee to w hom we graii t Ih. king privilege, and to whom we re rwe tb-"m "ltak thia trt-be a great mistake. V. e are iniiiratwd by -ilr. CJregory, that five per eit. i aa much a money i worth, for, at that rate, one year with another, it will equal the nett profits of any buaioeos. He eaya a "penny at five percent., simple interest, for aiglitn hundred years, amount to seven shil lings and seven pence, and a half pnny, lent at compound intereat. would oe a larger sura than coald be' contained in six hundred mill ions of globe?,'' each equal to the earth in mag nitode, andall qf tbem nolid gold." Hare we aee presented 4.n a very atriking light the great difference between aimple and compound inter eer. now much- greater, then, mo.t be the difference between 6 per cent., and 10 or 15, semi-annually received in the way of dividends ! I should like thai tboewhotbink these thingojtoo mal! matters to occupy their attention would figure awhile upon it It ja worthy of thoir attention as Legislators. Again, we are told; in the life of the celebra ted Mire AoaaletB Rothschild, founder of tbe great banking bouse of that name ia Europe, that be waa a poor ajhoolmaster, and, by, the business of banking, he accumulated, is same 3U or 3o years lz or 13 mtliiona of uoiMm.and on. his death-bed wore bia eons to remain to gether and to content themselves with trading on government bonds and banking for the gov ernments of Europe. If they would do' thia, Lt. predicted they would soon have Europe un der their thumbs. And what be pronheeied is now history. They art said to be worth three or four handred millions of dollar. At any rate, they root from ecboalmaater twbe'the baakera of the GovernBaeuief arebe. md. tho' Jews, they bevt bad tho title of AaovM ooo Itrred u on every eaeof tbeaaalessetabaraefthe family. What, then, will aad must bt the re suit of our banking ayatsta, if it m orntinoed forever ia the hand of eae sot of men and their desoeodaata, wbta are see tbat it yields more than lOper eeat. aaaually f Under thia view of tbe oase, ia It at ' uartaeoaable for ing oa the iavtotaMata they bate made ia aid eg the State, to be aaxioae ta pace tbe bill now before tbe eaaaaaitta for tbeir relief aad anoiw especially tor tbe relief of the state Trea aury. It cannot poaaibly injart aay oae. to r- qnire every man, ia fntare, who own a share of bak atock, to own also a a ha re ia aome one of oar Ball road. By thia policy the good and bad stock have to go together, aad, by keep irg tbeee united, like man and wife, in the bo lv bonds of matrimony, forever, you will do .ocli to relieve the state ana retain the nrinei lea of republican aimplicity and eoualitv among ua. Tbeae considerations, if there were 10 i.tbere to urge in favor of my bilL are wor thr of the most serious deliberation. But. sir. ibere are thousands of other good and sulteient rtasons wby the bill now before us should be cove tbe law of tbe land. Mr Chairmen.

He counted a number of Coun ties which were in. favor of Salisbury. Those in favor of Lexington were about bait the num ber. Should Salisbury be the terminus, Wil mington and Beaufort will be benefited much more than if. it were Lexington , If tbe differ ence in distance be any thing, the Salisbury line will be for 'the interest of this State, while tbe Lexington line will be foe South-Carolina. He sincerely hoped that the amendment of fered by the gentleman from Davideoa would not be accepted ' - ' Mr. Patterson rose to make a correction.-- The 'gentleman from Burke had ' represented him as committed On this subject.

One will be a North Carolina road, and tbe other will not; tbat was the point to be considered; he came to legislate, for the best interests of, the S,iate. In answer to a questions-Mr. Sharpe said be woald vote for tbe road, not in accordance -with tbe interests of bis constituents, but with the, in terests of tbe State. ' He read a portion of Col.
