sufficient capacity to discern that in the event of Ihe
completion uf tlie now pnjeoted improvement, that
that stream whose advantages have been so long suf
fered to lie dormant and neglected, would -soon he
freed from all the existing, though but slight impedi
ments to ' navigation ?:. Is he not endow ed with au
eye that, 'half-closed, Can peep 'sufficiently far into
futurity as to behold with feelings of exultation and
pride the glorious and effulgent rays that would beam
and smile upon his people ou tho consummation of
such an event? Once open the Yadkin, and our
progress to wealth would be eary aud rapid. Then
upon her placid breast would be borne the elements
of that commerce which such an improvement would
naturally beget Then would our lands, how lying
in heaps of native wildncss, be rapidly reduced to a
slate of cultivation, and everywhere, amid our jovial,
ii'oiiniaiii bays, " would content sit basking ou the
check of toil, till laughing past' nie led them to the
hour of rest ! " Indeed, sir, we are by nature a most
highly fuvi ured people, and were cur cause but once
rightly espoused iu cur legislative couueils, we would
also soon become an independent people, among
whom the effluvia of office seeking would never in
fuse its noxious poison. '','
The sirni-ger who visits our .section, either allured
thither for the purpose of recreation,, or to inhale our
invigorating and health-restoring breeze, is struck not
will sustain hint in it.
Again we believe these resolutions are not,

Southern people no good ought never to have j
been introduced and ought not to be passed.
They are abstract and equivocal wher.'as. when
ihe South speaks in earnest, at the, right time, she
should speak in a voice which cannot he misiiii
derstood, and in a manner which our Northern
brethren dare not disregard. .We have had too
much of this empty vaporing which fell on North
ern ears, as these resolutions will again fall on
them, " like tho idle wind which they regard not."
The time for cct'un is not yet if it is, where is
fellow-nten. The pauper lunatics of the Slate are.
emphatically the State's children she owes idem
guardianship and protection, tho means of ul'cViatiou 1
of their sorrow;, and the hope of restoration to hea'ih j
of liody and mind, if it be possible. The present
i Legislature, with commendable philanthropy ,.liave
recognised the claims of these unfortunates, and pro
vided menus for their relief. Vet the Ediior of the
Roanoke Republican -preaches up. " hard times," and
insinuates that these Legislators are subjects" in
other words, that their act was, that of Insane, not
wise, men : that we. take. to. be tho meaning of his
sneer.. Would he also have us to be behind the age
hi Charity, Philanthropy, and Christianity ? We trust
not. Rather let him aid us, in our feeble endeavors,
to push along every good cause, and every good
work, which will ennoble the character of our belov-
