,TJut uYe a tiesfioa arises, nearest the rttt
zenaof this cltv and county further ' this
great work? - We will proceed to show, a
briefly as we eea; a very "practieaye meth
od of doing it i
W't are all very apt to suppose that' we
can accomplish nothing unless every one
will contribute a' very large amount, so that
what u given by a lev will anon run up
the amount tn a large sum, and we are all
so startled at (he bare' mention of a million
of dollars mat we deem it chimerical to sup
pose that itcaa be .raised by a mmunky
so little noted for enterprise as ours. But
it can be done. Iet us make a lew more
calculations. Thereare, aa before stated.
21.113 M&asiUfits i Ae county Suppose
that an average of five dollars be contribu
ted iW the people of the county, (which
wStflJ not be felt vb en paid in instxlntents of
one. two. three and four vears. or even at
shorter periods) there , would be the very
handsome aum oftld&,5G0, which, with
what W Hild be coming' from the State,
would amount to 31(l,770, quite a fespwt
able sum, one too which would more than
eecure the construction of the road, ao far
aa this coflnty is eoiveerned. "fl true that
many could not pay even five dollars, but
there are many who could pay their thou
sands instead thereof, so that the average
might be attained. The question then aris
es how can small subscriptions, less than
one hundred dollars, be made available
this we will proceed to showv -" -
There probably are but few neighbor
hoods in the county which would furnish
very many men who could take five shares
in the proposed road, yet there are very
many who might be able to take one share,
and even those who would not feel free to
subscribe even that might have it in their
power to assist the road in an humble way.
As we remarked, few Would be unable to
take one share, and especially would they

each one of a million of men, the stock
would be as certain, and as effectual as if
it were equally shared by one hundred, who

Let then the people of this county take the
matter seriously in hand, and whether in

true Whigs Taylor Whigs too aainhabit

Debehby, for local reasons alonenot from
any want of confidence in Mr. D.j not from
a ifislike to Gen. TV administration nor
yet from an admiration of Mr. Caldwell's
statesmanship. It was simply because many
tf theio (Gen. Dockery s friends) were
pledged not to support a Convention C;i
didate, expecting that Gen. I).--would run
independently. Kather than break this
pledge, and unwilling to surrender their
rights as freemen, they preferred to vote for
a Democrat rather than not vote at' all, when
they learned that the man of their choice
had declined. 'Tis true that it. is a great
source of regret that the parjy was not lully
united but I assure you that it resulted
from no preference for Mr. Caldwell, You
know that there were several Whig candi

until a few weeks of the election no hopes ex
isted of any union or reconciliation of differ

with Mr. I., in recommending Mr. Deberry,
the full Whig vote would have been polled,
Mr. D, would have been triumphantly e

have you of the history and government of
your own country? what do you know of
its passing events? how many of you read
the solid and useiul matter lurnished by the
public prints? who among you informs
herself on subjects connected widi the polit

country? How many are there well instruct
ed in domestic affaire? can one in ten, who
has all tho externals of city polish, make

learned or the duties and management ol
servants? how much have you learned, and
how much do you practice of the du
