I learn there li the present occasion : and, to do go, I are but two routes for this road from Ra need not go further back than the com- leigh to Columbia, about which the public mencement of the present session. 1 he opinion is at all divided. 1 he first present General. Assembly has already from Raleigh, passing a little below the passed an act, (l do not mean the act junction of Haw and Deep Rivers, thro granting Banking 1 privileges to amend the counties of Chatham, Moore & Rich the charter of the Cincinnati and Charles- mond, to the dividing line between North ton Rail Road Company. This act pro- and South Carolina. This route, which k Vldes that t ie route which the said Kail the senator from Warrpn rfprlarpa will counties, can ever; .find - its, way to the Raleigh and Columbia Rail Road. Sir, it is the very error of the moon, and) the man.' who ca n entertain any such notion, has . either not . properly . considered the matter, or is a lit subject for a Lunatic Asylum, If no other plan . of Internal Improvement can be devised for the ben efit of the 'people of these counties, and their present means of transportation are unsuited to their wants, they are left in hopeless despair. I had j forgotten to notice the county of Orange,, in its proper place. Tliis coun ty has very little, if any interest, in this route. If her people should prefer the Petersburg market, and they can get to no other by this road, unless the amend ment prevails, no man can b so wild as to suppose that any considerable portion of their produce, can ever seek the Rail Road to the south of Raleigh. Nay, it is most obviously to the advantage of a large majority of them, to waggon their produce to the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road from ten to thirty miles, to the north of Ra leigh. How then, I ask, are they to be so greatly benefited, by the route through the county of Chatham ? ;Mr. Speaker, I will now endeavor to offer to the consideration of the Senate, some few reasons which have satisfied my own mind, that the Rail Road in question ought to be carried through Fayetteville. It cannot be forgotten or overlooked, that his place is regarded at the present mo ment, as probably the most important market town in North Carolina. It is believed that a larger quantity of pro duce is there purchased, and more mer chandize vended, than in any other town n the State, and it is considered of the greatest importance, that its prosperity should be festered with the most anxious solicitude. To show the deep interest felt in the prosperity of this town by our Western brethren, I beg leave to call the attention of the Senate, to the fact that so late as the month of October last, a large and respectable Convention of more than one lundred and thirty members, represent ing nineteen counties, and composed of gentlemen of the most distinguished tal ents, aud worth of character, assembled at Salisbury, in the county of Rowan.- At that Convention the following Resnlu- tion among others, was reported Dy a Committee of that body: Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention, the interest of a large wealthy and populous portion of the otate of North Carolina, requires the speedy construction of a Rail Road from the town of Fayette- j ville"to some point on Yadkin river above the Nar- , rows, and thence by two branches, the one running i directly to the town of Wilkesboro', the other run ning across the Valley of the Catawba river, so as to ! intersect the Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road, at the most eligible point. interests , require' the speediestintelli-j gence. . Now, if this is a. good reason, in refere nce to the transmission of , early inteIigence by mail stages long the common public roads of the country, it cannot be less conclusive in gelation to rail roads which are, tu supercede the or dinary mode of conveying the mails "by stages. Again sir, look, at the express mai line, lately established . to convey early intelligence from one end of th country to the other. Does this take the shorter route through Chatham- &c?. By no jneans; its object is especially to com municate early intelligence to pur com mefcial towns, and to leave them out, would be to'defeat the vety end of its es- tab ishment. 1 leel sir, 1 need argue this branch of the subject no further, but let : us look at the question in another point of view. Suppose the Rail Road is carried through fayetteville to the South Carolina line; I contend, that the couinties of Chatham and Moore, will la bor! under no burdensome grievance, and can! have no just cause of complaint, ill conducted from Raleigh along the most direct route to Fayetteville, it must pass within about fifteen miles of these coun ties, unless the late map of the State is grossly incorrect. Such a road affording this people the advantage of a choice of markets, (both Fayetteville and Peters burg being thereby made easily accessi ble) would, I humbly conceive, be more desirable than a rail road which could af ford them no such option, and would am- Raleigh and Columbia Rail Road, thereby endenng almost profitless (atieasfsuf far as the travel of the country iss concerned) about-one third of the Western Road. .v The bare contemplation: of such ai reW suit can hardly fail to affect injuriously the Fayetteville and iWesiern RtiadV anl must uecessarily.operate agai nst subscrip tions to the capital Stock of the Compa ny. I, ask in sober seriousness, whether the Legislature of North Carolina will permit the most important work of Inter nal Improvement in- the State a" work intended arid competent to promote the great agricultural interests of the State, in a higher degree than any other im- provement, either in progress drin con templation, to be sacrificed, that the trav el s through the State may be ; accelerated, something like one or two houhu Gen tlemen may attempt, to disguise the fact as they please, but the question, now to be decided, is one between tlie people of North Carolina struggling to cherish and uphold the market towns of their own State, and to open suitable facilities to such towns on the one part, and on the other part chiefly citizens of other States endeavoring to thwart such pUrpoe and to secure to themselves the benefits of our trade. To this competition I enter tain no particular objection, if, by our Legislation, no advantage is given to oth er towns over.our own. If preference be given to either, who can hesitate as to which side it ought to incline? I certain- Thereupon, Mr, (lutchisonays,1? he ;is satisfied, and offeH the handi of elto-ship.;..-1- y r . .
