When writing with a stekx, pen, (we should
say iron,) my thoughts and ideas seem to par
take of the nature of the instrument I use.
They flow slowly and languidly, and it lsas
much labor to ihink correctly and express my
thoughts well, as it is to scratch it down with
that villainous tool. (Que re) might not this
be considered the age of iron? as that metal
seems to have usurped the place of every thing
else that is useful dr destructive. From an
iron petard down to an iron pen, the endless
uses to which it is or-rnay be applied, would,
astonish a citizen of the Augusta age and even
Byron would weep orerthe senele$s jargon of
his eloquent apostrophe to the grey goose quill,'
could lie arise from the dead, and see what an in
animate instrument has usurped its place. May
it not be owing to this that there is so little of
the true fire of eloquence and poetry at present,
and at the same time more exactness, artisti
cal skill and critical acumen ? Potcntiron has
chained down the minds of men, as he has fire
and air, and even the lightnings of heaven.

tenth the importance she now Is, had not the
liberality and public spirit of her citizens con
trihuted to break those fetters of commerce and
agriculture which Nature had thrown around
her. , . -
Look at the example of Virginia even.
With a heavy public debt of eight or ten mill
ions of dollars, she, every session of the Leg
islature, is appropriating hundreds of thousands
of dollars to wotks of internal improvement,
which an inhabitant of this Slate would con
sider perfectly chimerical ; and yet she pros
pers under it. But it will be said that it will
burden us with doubt, and consequently tax us
like the Virginians are. Our reply would be,
far better to incur double the debt and taxation
than to remain in this state of destructive and
debasing inactivity. What matters it with a
people, if you double their taxes, provided you
give tnem tnrice ine auuuy io pay i uum

the debt in proportion as he increases our

Who would notjbe proud to see North Caroli

commerce and trade, even if she were five or
ten millions of dollars in debt? And yet she
can never expect to gain any eminence in the
commercial world, in her present situation

bloom like a garden. We" could speculate on
this subject at any length, but we forbear.

jslature, of .a bill to charter the Great Central
Road. It is, sir, a cheering omen of better
things to come, to see the intelligent and en
lightend of all sections, of all parties, and of all
"cliques," throwing aside all causes of differ
ence, uniting boldly and manfully in advoca
ting a plan by which ?North Carolina will be
speedily disenthralled from the galling fetters
of commercial restrictions, from the cast ot Jan

other counties, and exalted to that rank amongst
her sisters of this great Confederacy, to which,
by the blessings of a kind Providence and by
her real honest merit and unpretending worth,
she is pre-eminently entitled.

Gentlemen Editors:- I have not writ
ten to you this time quite as soon as I ex
pected, because I have been in some trou
ble. In consequence of the unfortunate lo
cation of my heart, and the rude incission
made in my side, (alluded to in my first
letter) my circulation is a good deal de
ranged, and some irritation has been pro
duced. Being too much accellerated in
the limb where my heart, is about to be
placed, there is a constant fever with
advocated and pushed through the Legislature slight symptoms of mortification, while
by the public spirit, energy and patriotism of along the main arteries where my heart
leading men in both political parties, that it ought to be, the circulation is so irregular,
can be shown to be of direct practical bearing
rupon every .citizen of the State, and that it will
be highly beneficial in its results, we presume
will, scarcely be denied by any candid man,
who has given the subject serious consideration.
We are aware that self-interest; is a leading
motive to action in communities as well as in
dividuals ; and any particular section will not
be easily convinced that there will be any prac
tical utility in a scheme which does not imme
diately and visibly affect'thern advantageously ;
and they are too apt to identify their notions of
advantage to the State with advantage to an
isolated community. We think that it can be
that a dangerous intermittant has been
engendered, and my people in that quar
ter are effected alternately with cold chills
and high fevers ; and have been holding
consultations to devise means of relief.
Feeling sorrowful over this state of
things, I have resorted to this unfrequent
ed retreat, where I am always want to
be when distressed, and where few indeed
of my people have, ever made a foot print.
Of all the wild spots in the wilds of

However, we have not despaired of her

to be sure next time, we hope you, Geo.

will endeavor to convince our Eastern!

be to our mutual advantage; and my
neighbors Caldwell, Alexander ScNYilkes,
possessing, it fs believed, more fine water
power than any three contiguous coun.

them on the way, and to promise : tea
