and throughout' the world.
' Here I might detain you long enough to assert
in the distinct hearing ot every one now present
that no fe wer than at least a dozen ot our neigh
bors, are here ready to stand forth, and under
the solemnities of oath to affiirm frankly and unit
edly, the verity of these statements, from what
their own eyes have seen and tneir t ears
have heard respecting the speed and efficacy
rail roads and locomotive engines. In tho uni
ted attestation of such men,-4we should rest
with a confidence as complete as our own sense
could produce.; i -: .
I Why then should we hesitate upon the subject?
What has been said respecting the resources of
the - State, rs well kr.6vn to most of you who
hear m. Thes public; tunds amount to such a
sum at least as eigtht htind red thousand dollars;
and you need lio one to inform you that a sub
scription nf two hundred thousand dollars for the
construction of 6uch a work as' that before us,
Is certain to profit the people, and build up the
great interest of the Stale, to an extent far reat
"eracd more liberal thlaif yested in Bank capi
tal) or any other species of stock within the com
pass of our present knowledo-e or power.

and never flnni fronl the puipose until it shall
be accomplished upon these Indubitable principles

and tetr strength isjrfesistible,?i But take tJieoi
separately, and I ow easily are they broken ? Let
us then meet :one another with a spint of coali
tion, to be actuated as though we were one man.
Let us instruct our legislators, Whoever they
may he, that if by such means as are in the pow
er of thn State, without taxation upon the peo
ple, a railway! can bo constructed, or conveyance
by steam can pe enected, between ualeigh and
the sea, it is; your will that the measure; should
be adopted, by concurring with a plan in which
two fifths of the funds shall be subscribed by the
State t, j f ; '! ; -
It will possibly be insisted that it is pot from
any doubt resjecting the; advantages of steam
in the oppoitunities of trade and traveling to "a
peoplPi that ipor difficulty proceeds. The ques
tion after all remains,' even if! we admit all ihesc
advantages blether the rich who possess great
funds oug-ht not to be the' first to step ftrwaid,
and make railways They i is said,: are able
to do it. vlt is but reasonable that they should
set the example, and, they cai advance the mo
ney. Theytell the people that if they will lay
out their fund. upon these works, they will be
sore to enjoy all these advantages, and yet they
themselves Hold back anu show by their conduct
that thev are not so certain of : the profits. But
