The North Carolina Standard Of the 18th in
slant has an article on the subject Of internal
iiaprassacnts which meets our hearty spproha-
ton and We are pleased to geo that Mr.. Fisher,
Of Rowan, has Introduced, in the Senate, bill
for the Western extension Of the North Carroll
ma Rail Road ON the plan indicated by the arti-
Gle in the Standard. We arc the more grat;i-
cd because the proposition has been brought
forward by Democrat, with tic earnest en-
dorsement Of the leading Democratic paper of
the State; for we feel assured that the Wings
in the Legislature will not be far behind the
Democrats in giving cordial support to mea-
sure 80 well calculated to improve the condition
of North Carolina. The following is the por-
lion Of the Standards article to which we i'm
vte attention:
"Two leading objects, it seems to
us, ought to be kept constantly in view
the first, to strike the ocean at the
fine harbnr Of Beaufort; and the oller,
to penetrate the western country until
we are placed in communication with
the lines Of travel aud commerce Of the
great Mississippi valley. The 6rst OBJ
| ject may soon he rcalizctl--the latter
must be the result Of labur. patience,
aud heavy expenditures. The people
of Western Carolina have thus lar re-
rri,ed little il any aid from the State
government, in their efforts to reach
market with their surplus produce !;
and the time has arrived when il would
appear neither wise nor just to cvade
or postpone their claims in this respect.
We are sure, Irum what we have learn
ed of their expectations as To the ex-
tension ui the North Carolina Railroad

derstand, that an appropriation will be

but the hope is that the State, embark
