more perfect union TO haImonse as far as nossible
what would otherwise have been at conflict bee To-
Cal nterests-and that this is no less duty than the
protection of our foreign commerce. The benefits TO
flow from well directed system of Internal Improve
mentS, whether ii be considered as a means of defence
III case OF INVASION, lnSurrectiOn of
products of the interior 10 market OR OF TRBSsPoRT
ING THE MAIL, are SO apable that the only objections
heretofore urged against appropriations to that obiect
have been made by those who denied the power Of the
Federal Government; or by Others who admitting the
power denied the expectancy under the existing Stale
Of the Treasury The undersigned believes that The
Federal Government may, by permanent contracts with
rail road companies, for the transportation of the mail
and troops and munitions of war on the leading routes
OF travel, accomplish general system of Internal I'm
Pr9Vemens and Will enforce the proprey of doing SO,
and eudeavor TO show how this may be done by an en-
lghtened use OF the public credit-snd also TO deyelope
the Incidental advantages to flow from such measure
by sustaining the credit of the States and thus restoring
public and private confidence
Baltimore is central, and in some respects the hest
point at which TO concentrate political intelligence
Should the expectations of the Editor be realized the
Pilot will become the medium of dihusing the ntel-
gence thus concentrated and whatever an earnest zeal
