| EXECUTIVE OFFICE, !
| March nh, 1852.
| To the Senate and House Of Representatives.
| GExT1EMEN-In the year 1854 the Leg sla-
/ ture OF the State memoralIZed the Congress
of the United States asking for a grant OF
| lands TO aid the Gull s. Sup Island Rallroal
l Company in he construction of a road from
some one of the many valuable harbors on the
coast to a point or points in the central por
| ton OF the State. In espouse to this applica
tion Congress granted aiteranate sections OF
the public lands, upon condition however
that the road should be built within Ten years
/ Before The expiration Of the time limited: the
| late war intervened aud the enterprise being
| of necessity abandoned, the land reverted tC
the government
| The Legislature has revived the charter
OF said road and tits matter of the first i'm
pOrta ce to secure a renewal of the grant
| referred. IL is unnecessary tor me 10 urge
upon YOU the importance OF this enterprise tC
| the agrieuliu urai, manufacturing, and CONNER
/ cial pros perity of the State. am informed thai
an extensive trade is now being carried on
from our coast with Europe and the Southern
| Republics The construction OF this direct
| line from the interior OF our State to the cOas1
would doubtless increase this trade, and re
suit in the establishment and growth of a
| commercial port of much value to the whole
country Perhaps none of the many pro-
ected enterprises would so greatly diversity
| The industries, revive the hopes, and enlarge
the influence and power of our people. L,
| would bring into market much OF tne wild
| land of our Southern counties, and afford new
| inducement to their settlement by thrifty
and industrious population.
The influence and ability of our Senator
and Representatives in Congress, anu the
| justice OF the application, leads me to believe
that the grant originally mode by the govern
| ment can be revived. | therefore most respect
| fully recommend that memorial be adopted
and transmitted to our Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress, in this behalf
