Is there not as strong proof that his mo-
lives we're selfish, as that Gov. Moreheaci's
are Assuredy, it is not uncharltable SO
TO conclude.
Ii is well known TO all, that the Wing
Party has been assailed by their opponents
for forwarding ertraragant schemes OF In
iernal Improvement. What scheme could
be more ertrap0gdHt than the one recon-
mended by Mr.. Henry
A guarantee of the States credit for
$500, 000-the erection of Turnpike
from Raleigh TO Greensboro'-the opening
of Neuse and Tar Riyer-the payment OF
$3.50, 900 more for stock in the Whining
ton Road-the re.opening OF Mays Head
the building Rail Road from Foyette-
vile to the Yudkln-the joining the Ra-
leigh and Wilmington Roads All this

mortal horror TO any thing like Corpora.

Rail Road "-and would rather die than

Then, what is TO be thought Of the disen-

assailing the Wings for voting assistance
to the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail Road in
the face Of Mr.. Henrys recommendation
TO that rtry sfecti You cry out that they
wish to bring the State in debt, when your

vice been taken would VIC now be in the
situation Of some Of our sister States,
grooming under a heavy debt, and the Poo
pie subjected to a heavy and insupportable
tax TO pay even the interest Suppose
that Mr.. Henry's recommendation had
been adopted, and the State had borrowed
S3,00O,000, and the works yioldcd-%st

EST on THIS DEBT Nor did sir. Henry
merely recommend this system Of Improve
meni aud loan. He urged it, through the
Memorial, as matter Of the highest i'm.
portance to the State. Is he not then es-
topped from preferring a charge agains,

Of Internal Improvement Can you or your
Party any longer declaim against us as

the Wings shrink from no responsibility
which may Justly rest on them. They
wish you and your party, however, 10 be
held responsible also for your acts
But, sir, this is not all. During The scs-
sion Of 1850 of the Legislature, bill
passed to incorporate Rail Road from
Fayetteville 10 the Yadkin, in which the
State was pledged 10 subscribe 3.5ths of
