Remarks of Maj. Chas. L. Hinton,
At the Internal improvement Meeting, he'd in
Raleigh, on the 81 Of March last.

MAJ. Hinton said, il vas known 10 most
Of those present, that he was not IN The
habit Of public speaking. lie very rarely
veniured an address in public except when
he kindness and Partially Of his friends
aid towards the promo ion Of any great
cause which was calculated TO advance
The public good. And in yielding 10 the
wishes Of his ffleods or the ptesen, occa-
sion, he could assure them tho. noihing but
his strong conviction OF the importance Of
the grea, Improvement, 10 further which
thcy had met together, could have IN iuced
bin to respond 10 the call Of The meeting.
A, have no p:etenion 10 the charac.
GER e an orator (said Major Hinton,)
shall proceed 10 present to the con.defa.
,ion cl The meeting few plain statistical
iects, easily 10 be compteheCded by the
humblest capacity, in oIder 10 show the
great advantages Of rail roads IN general
and the peculiar beuef.s OF the con;emp'a
ted cenlial road TO those contiguous TO 1t.
My purpose will be 10 show that not only
elevate the character, deveope the resour-
ces, aud increase the wealth of the Sac !:
but tina! II will confer direct personal ben.
eft upon Individuals. Ii will bs readily
admhledthat 'money saved Is money made;
every farmer who can cuttal, the expenses
o! his farm, 20 that exten, enhances his
nett proG's. II is usual 10 estimate the
utility Of Iail roads only by their cost, and
the expense Of running them, compared
with the profits o. stockholders. The
Raleigh aud CASTOR Road has become
>ome"ha, oiIous in the public mind mere.
~ because II has cost The SAFE few hun.
died thousand do lars, aud now barely
Yields enough pref. to keep it in operation.
Very few stop TO consider hat are the ad
vantsges i udords 10 individuals, and that
will perhaps never be realized, Till The ope
tations on the roads are suspended, which
| fear mus, be the case, if the read is not
continued Westward. Unfortunate as has
been The Raleigh and Castor Road, yet
/, eau BE- shown that his bens h,s have been
and are now immense TO every one who
owns property, or lives by his labor, within
reasonable distance OF the road.
As this is meeting Of The citizens OF
Wake County met to- ether for The purpose
CT consulting upon wha, they should do
with reference to the advancement Of their
own in,erest-lst US see how this County
has been benefited by the Raleigh and
CASTOR Rail Road, aud how deep an inter.

For think i, must be apparen, 10 every
one, that The continuation OF the road fur

also, TO a certain extent, for those who have
inflated him. Man is free moral agent and
| he has a right, if he chooses, to dispose OF his
soul as ma, bes, suit his fancy; he likes his
own price upon il, which is uncon,rol cd
pleasure on earth, and he receives his pay
but he is criminally debased when he attempts
to barter away his companions also, krowiug,
as he does, wha, his influence is, and what
will necessarily be the result Of his cxample.
These are matters that seldom enter the minds
Of people Of he world, and if occasionally
they fash across them, like a sunbeam Of
hope over darkened night, they are disp"ll-
ed by the conclusion that such thoughts will
do for the evening of existence, when the
rounds Of pleasure have all been run through,
and some avorite object has been gained
such as the admiration of the crowd, a reputa-
ton for brlliancy, beauty and what are called
ia honable accomplishments a rich and beau
tiiul wife, or wealthy and aristocratic hus-
band. These are made the ends and objects
of life for the possession oil these are out
halycion moments passed, and our freshest
and best energies expended, This is the con.
ception which misguided men and women
have of future accountability. Some ladies
of age and great experience take pleasure in
performing kind OF matronly part by introdn-
cling young and innocent ladies' into the gay
est and most dlssipated assemblies, composed
of a prcmiscuous ihrong, merely for the pur-
pose OF making bellies of them, having them
admired, and pcrchance obtain for them a
wealthy husbaLd, without the slightest regard
TO the enlistment OF the affections, or whether
( the man is worthy of her or not, She thus
guides her from the path of innocence an.
halowed security, into the burning vortex of
a searching world, which may caress her
beauty and Aatter her vanity, but which will
| fatally cvrrode her soul, These things may
all be passed over now, and the whisperings
Of conscience hushed but day wW come
when each one shall feel the full and terrible
weight Of responsibility in reviewing their
past lives, as they are severaIly called upon

\ Tie Convention reassembled at 2 l-2 o.
clock, when the President took his seat. Or
der being stored, Mr. Waworth from the

regularity OF the organization and adhere to
The established Democratic principles, and if
the two Conventions can agIee upon the sub
ject Of slavery, they desire to unite in one or
ganza,on He reminded the committee tina,
the Free Soil Convention had submitted two
other propositions relating to the power and
duty of Congress over Slavery in the IBIS 'ric,
Of Columbia, and also in the Territories, and
requested the opinion of the Hunker Conven-
ton. Mr.. Walworth replied that there could
be 10 difference OF opinion wnh regard to the
power and duty Of Congress over Slavery in
the District Of Columbia and the Territories
In regard 10 the third he recommended the
Convention to adopt The resolution, as he be-
lievod the people of the North were opposed
to the introduction of Slavery into Territory
now Free but ho could not consent to make
that question of party test or incorporate it
into a Democratic party Of the State.
The Free Soil Committee reported tha,
their power Nas limited, and proposed refel-
ring the proposition TO their Convention -
