instance in history, that all these have not been
strong enough to prevent total and lasting
separation. And though causes Of the oPpo-
poste kind may not in our case go all the
length of producing this, yet they operate on
every natural tendency to separation. That
such tendencies do exist, will not be denied by
any candid and rejecting man, and they call
on us to look far ahead, and to prevent, if pos
sible, the disastrous evil which they threaten
Among the causes which go to increase the
tendencies to separation, in such system as
ours, may be enumerated the lofty mountains
which separates different parts Of our country
the extended space over which our popula-
ton and government are spread, together with
the different scenes to which commercial Pur.
suits lead the citizens of different districts OF
the Union. Some Of these, are, indeed, be-
yond human control, but the effect Of many
of them may be, in certain degree, correct
ed, if not wholly removed. The mountains
NAV be cut through we will teach the lofty
Aliegany to bow its proud head to the interest
and repose Of our country. As to space and
distance, they are terms wholly relative, and
thew have relation as much in the facility OF In
tercourse as to actual distance Of place. II
will be the business of wise Legislation, to
correct the evils to which sparse population
exposes us. We have already seen what may
be effected. A distance which formerly con-
sumed nine days (and in this l speak from
personal knowledge, having passed the route
in all conditions Of the road) can now be done
in three. Wheeling is thus six days travel
nearer to Washington. So is St Louis. So is
every place west of Wheeling. 1.-TWO places
are twenty miles apart, and two other places
are eighty miles asunder, and yet the distance
betweenboth occupies but one day, the two
latter places, for every practical purpose, are

much expedition as is at all practicable, and
that no part of the public resources are to be
diverted to any other object. Sir, there is no
member of this house more DESTROYS to sec the

of those who believe that public debt is a

as mortage, dragging on our finances, and
one which it was our duty to foreclose and
pay off as soon as possible. Yet we have also
other duties, there are, indeed, some debts
which We may not devolve on posterity-
debts which spring from wasteful and ambi-
tious wars-debts which have their origin in
national luxury and extravaganza. But there
are debts of another description, which feel
no hesitation in devolving on posterity. re.
fer to debt which carries the benefit with
the burden. When we bequeath both to-
gether, postcrity cannot equitably reproach
our memory, because, while they bear the
burden they cannot butrecollect that they are,
at the same time, enjoying the benefit. But,
sir, is there any proposition before you to

hoped, at no distant day, would pass through
Kentucky and Tennessee, to Natchez and N.
Orleans, interesting the great road now pro-
posed from the latter place to this city. 1t
must be remembered, said he, that it is part
of road which is to traverse nine states and
two territories; so that whether we look to the
right or to the left, we find the interests OF
nine entire states and two territories all con-
centrated in the present design.
Here Mr.. C. wished to be permitted to state
one fact with which, perhaps, but few mem:
bers of the committee were acquainted. a
distinguished member of the other house had
lately travelled in company with the delegate
from Florida, now on this floor, over the very
route which was contemplated in this bill for
the road proposed. They had found IT, tho
somewhat hilly, free from any mountainous
Instructions, and Astounding in all the mate
rails which would be required for constrac'
ton.
Mr.. C.. next proceeded to inquire, whether
the object, such as he had now described IT,
was not Justly entitled to be considered ma.
tional object. Look, said he, ut the effect
produced upon the convenience OF the whole
country. from what has been already DONE
The usual space of time formerly required to
ro from Baltimore to Wheeling was from eight
to ten days-the time now occupied is three
DAYS. The effect Of such saving OF time
would readily be conceived. To this consi'
