jects to this bill because he thinks it raises more
revenue than would be necessary to meet the labil
tiles of the State for the next two years; but he
would inform that gentleman if he had examined
into the finances of the State he must have seen
from the Treasurers report, as made to the Senate,
under resolution from that body, that 5000, O00 of
State bonds would become due in 1859, and q half
million more of the same bonds, account of Raj
egh & CASTOR railroad, would be due in 1860. Now,
assuming this bill to raise morey than is nee
essary to meet present liabilities by even $4,000,
and the dividends on the Raleigh & Castor railroad
to be $4,000 annually, and both these sums should
be set apart to meet these bonds they fall due in
1859 and 1860, the State would not then have more
than $3.50 200 to meet her liabilities of 100000.
Is it right for us to leave these debts unprovided
for and impose on succeeding Legislature, to tax
constituents for the sum of $500, 900? Or
should we as prudent legislators endeavor to meet
our debts in advance? lie was of opinion that we
should shape our course as to meet our debts as
they become due, and thereby the credit of our
State.
lie further said that he was astonished to find
gentlemen upon this floor who had by their former
votes created large State debt by which they and
their constituents had been greatly benefited, not
only by the facilities afforded them in carrying their
produce to market, but by enhancing the value Of
their real estate at least two fod should in effect by
their refuse pay the debts created for their espe
cal benefit.
He said the county he represented was DO, dering
on the Virginia line. and his constituents enjoyed
none of the advantages of railroad; but for the
honor of the State, they were willing to pay their
share of her debts and preserve her credit unfair.

REMARKS OF MIR. CLARK,

Of Edgcombe, on the bill to tloan 500, COO, to the
Eastern Extension. Delirered in the Senate,
January 81, 1857.
Mr. SPEAKER: participate fully in all the patr
otto feelings expressed by the advocates of this
ure. yield to one in State pride or in anv pro
per means to advance the interest of the State
But fear both are jeopardzed by the measure they
urging upon
This bill asks from the State loan of $500 OoO
for the Atlantic railroad with no other security than
the doubtful and precarious revenues of the road
already bound for the heavy expenses con.
tracte6 for this road; and from crippled and cmp
ty treasury, unable now to comply with the large
demands upon it.
We have not got it to give; and It's doubtful if
we can borrow it to loan, without making some nro
vision in the tax bill to sustain it, We have already
been under the necessity of largely increasing the
tax bill to meet the present and pressing liabilities
of the State. And yet in that bill the advocates and
friends of this railroad loan have made no provision
for this demand, If they want money from the
Treasury is not there. lfthey only ask the cred
1t OF the State they must do something to sustain
that credit. It is the tax bill that the battle of
internal improvements must be fought There lies
the responsibility, and there let them meet it and

they cannot complain of opposition when that Cd.
position made to protect the Still higher consider
alton of State credit and State character.
But independently Of this objection there is an
important defect in this BILL which propose in part
to remedy by an amendment which have pr,par
ed, requiring from the railroad company mortgage
or trust all its effects before the loan is received
am aware that the State is already two-thrds own
er of the road and effects; but l would require
mortgage on the balance Of the road, to secure as
far as possible the States interest | desire to mt
the State ahead of all other creditors and mortgages
which inevitably hang over these enterprises lis
true, the security is not ample, but we should have
all we can get.
have still another objection which this amend
ment cannot remedy. The State cannot raise the
amount required to comply with the loan, and can
only do it by trans ferring her bonds to the com
pany, which they may dispose of on such terms as
may affect the general credit of the State and in
erfere with the sale at par of her other bonds an
Proprated and necessary engagement; and the
depreciation of State credit must prove serious in
jury to the necessary management of our Treasury.
My State pride and regard for State-interest forbid
me- under these circumstances, to support this bill
But hoping at least to protect the State in part from
harm, offer the amendment requiring a MORTGAGE
before the loan is received. $50

SuMMERvILLE. January 18th, 1857
MEssRs. EDIroRs: desire to cali your attention to
the fact that at this Office, suffer much inconve.
nicnce in not receiving papers and letters at the
proper time.
Within days ride of Raleigh, and mail passing
daily, we rarely receive our papers in ten days after
they are issued, and sometimes not at all. Who is
to blame for this? can but think that the papers
are mailed in Raleigh in time to go by the Fayette-
vile stage Taking it for granted that you mail your
pap>r Tuesday evening" in three or four hours the
stag arrives at Mrs Barclays, and if the mail was
there opened, the Raleigh papers would be at this
place next day at II o'clock, for the Summerville
mail leaves Barclaysville early Wednesday morning
But instead of getting our papers the day after they
are issued ION account Of the cupable neglect Of
the Postmaster at Barclaysvlle our papers pass on
to Fayetteville, nearly one hundred miles, round to
this point, only twelve miles from Barclavsyie and
a mail passing daily.
This Messrs. Editors, bolicve is the fault of the
Postmaster at Barclaysve, as there psoof beyond
" doubt that the stage has frequently passed his
office without being able to rouse him from his
slumbers or disturbing his pleasant dreams.
1t IS well known fact that the Postmaster at
Barcaysville is an avowed enemy to Summeryille
and have heard it suggested that through malig
nant feelings he would cut off all mail facilities from
its citizens. Such certainly cannot be the case ne
no one who is a sound officer of the government
would thus abuse his trust to crafty private malice
or personal prejudice.
yesterday heard the Sheriff of this county saw
that all packages and letters directed by him to
Raleigh and to Aveasboro', which latter place is
within few miles of Mrs. Barclays, he invariably
gave instructions to the Postmaster at Summerylie
to send them to Fayetteville.
:, know the fact that the mail boy has several
times, when the Raleigh papers should have come,
arrived here without any mail and stated that the
Postmaster at Barclays did not get up to open the
mail. Are the people to continue to labor under
such inconvenfences; submit to such wrongs, and
large amount of money to be thus expended in
carrying mail that through careessness or preiu.
dice is Of very little benefit to the publicP
