cultural and mineral productions consequent upon
the cheapness of transportation, in the rise of real
estate, and in turning the tide of emigration from
the western and southwestern States into her own
beautiful and fertile, but sparsey settled mountain
regions and filling them with towns and cities, and
busy and thriving population.
Whoever would go into calculation of the
| amount which would be saved to the pubic, the
business and industrious classes of the community
by the construction of this road would be astonsh
ed at the result.
The character of the State (and as a citizen I say
it with pride,) is prudent and deberative, but let
her not deliberate too long. Farther delay in the
execution of this work will prove highly detrmen-
ta if not fatal to the great interests of the State
it must result in the surrender of the control OF her
trade and commerce to the Deighborng States in
abandonment of the whole system of internal
improvements, and cannot but prove highly inlu-
rous to existing improvements, and place the State
in a condition of dependence from which she can
never recover. wise and just regard to her own
prosperity, a generous sentiment of public and

rational scifinteret patriotism and S;atepridc, all

enterprise, and to move Immediately i'll the grand
work of Improvement 1t must be evident to every
one that this work, if built all, must be built
mainly by the State. 1t were mockcry for the
State to ask the country, immediately interested.
to make this improvement, any large subscrip-
ton thereto she we'll knows that the wealth there,
particularly in the mountain region for want of an
outlet such is proposed, is not to be found
in stocks, nor great pecuuiary aggregates It con-
ssts in lands, houses and labor, diffused through
thousands of feeble veins, none of which can part
with much without embarrassment The slender
surplus, in many instances, amounts to but little
more than the taxes which pass into the Golfers of
the State. VIII she therefore, withhold the aid
necessary for the rapid progress and speedy COM
