It commences in the rice fields on the Cape Fear and terminates in the cotton 'fields 'of the ancient and honored county of Mecklenburg, traversing-'-on its ray a highly productive Grain, Tobacco and Ccttcn growing country. What is deficient on cne partof the line to supply the wants of man is found on another, the rawj material on. point will supply the manufactures at another, who in "turn will send'out the wrought fabrics to the producer. The wheat and flour of the West will1 be exchanged for the products of the coast, and thus a reciprocal, growing- and constantly increasing way trade will Epring up, which the historv of railroads shew, is most business that pay.

Then there is the cnterpns-inT and flourishing town of Wilmington which may be regarded. as the the road, with her large West India trade, and varied commerce, giving! her the ability to supply the wants of the producers and creating a constant 1 demantF for their productions, and. the markets of Virginia thrown open by the Raleigh and Gas ton Rail Road, with their demands and means of eupplfau uniting to timulateindustry and pro duction and thus add such an amount of tonnage and business to the road as to render it almost unnecessary to look beyond its limits for the 60uxceof its productiveness. But, if we were permitted to. look abroad could with quit as motoW of argument as we seo urged every day, in connection with other schemes, place this one also in communication with Mem 'y phiswhich seems to be regarded by many as a point on the great high way to the Pacific! and we could then without any very great stretch of the imagination, extend this road to Beaufort, arid, fancy her safe and secure harbor crowded with from all parts of the world.

Such speculations would probably not bo considered rational though far within the bounds of the visions which fill the mind of the projectors of Rail Roads possessing nothing like the probabili- 4ies of accomplishment as would seem to attend the 0 very reasonable I project of extending the North Carolina Road into Tennessee and down to Beaufort. y- And why should not North Carolina accom plish this enterprise I believe she will she lias already authorised surveys to ascertain the cost of extending the road oyer the mountains and Wanted charter for a Rail dtoad to New schemes are entirely feasible and practicable, and will at no distant day, I have no be accomplished. aro, probable in theory, and what is probable in theory' has in practice always proved true.

The greatest benefit will be conferred on the greatest number. In tact all will be benefitted. For the North Carolina Rail Road is not a mere line of rail road accommodating a single line of travel and operating on a narrow section of the State there is scarcely any portion or any interest in the State that is not benefitted by this work. It traverses nearly the whole length of the State, it is the Central Rail Road projected Jy the eld and ardent friends of internal improvements, crossing the channels Ot the principal rivers, bringing tljeir water fails and Manufactories into the actual vicinity ot thebea- boaid. It would be' difficult to plan a so properly, so obviously and so essentially a State work.

The oeoDle themselves have made it so by their wide spread and unprecedented individ ual subcription of a million of dollars, and by their endorcemcnt of the copartnership of the State from one end to the other, ii her sudscrip- tion of two millions more. hat they will not be disappointed in their I am quilp sure, unless it should turn out, arid there is Jno reason why it Should be so, that the same cause North Carolina will not produce the same ef fects as in other States, North, South, East and West. In those States it" is found that rail roads relieve the burden of taxation. First by the difference in the cost of transportation by common roads arid by rail roads, which may be stated at about two to one. Secondly by increasing the taxable property on the line of the road, a general reduction of taxa3 is made, thu3 lessening; the taxes on lands more remote, giving them an additional value, and thus the benefits of the road are extended far and wide, and telt by the whole agricultural: community.

And more, the general benefits which result to trade and commerce from rail roads in other States ex tend to every portion of their territory; every branch of industry is offected by tho trade, and commerce opened by these channels of commuui cation. No one can doubt that the same results will be experienced in North Carolina. In short, the enect or a iudicions system oi. internai im provements is to unite a State as it were in one great community with all their wants, demands and supplies brought to view, stimulating enter prise and industry in. all the arts and various pur suits 4 i And last though not on this account the least, I of the important benefits of the North Carolina the inducement to emigration which every deprives the Btatc of a portion of her most vig- oi ous, enterprising and intelligent JL am, gentlemen, very respectable obedient servant, WALTER GWYNN, Civil Engineer: THE WHIG.

Wo subjoin the resolutions adopted at the primary meetings in several counties, and bespeak for them the careful consideration of the people in this latitude In Crawford county it was Resolved, That the Constitutional Union Party of Crawford recogrfizes no distinction of Whig apd Democrat, but will again go out to battle, with all and who will unite with it in defence of the Union and Constitution of their ancestors. Resolved, That we plant ourselves upon the platform built by the Georgia Convention, and that neither fanatical abolition demonstrations at the nor belligerent demagogues at the South can fright us from it. Resolved, That we believe a National Union Party can and ought to be formed, which will put down fanaticism at tho North and allay agitation at the South.

Resolved, That our thanks aro due to those eminent statesmen at the North who, amidst ev ery abuse and denunciation both by the influence of their names and the power of their eloquence have contended for tho Constitution a-gainst the. higher law." I Resolved That we, believing tho old issue of Union and Disunion will, in the approaching Gubernatorial election, be predated to the people, will cordially support the candidate who may stand by the Union and Constitution a-gainst the enemies of the one and the infringers of thd other i Resolved, That the interests of tho South; require the rigid enforcement of the Fugitive Slave, Law, and that we will strictly abide by the provisions of the Compromise, and that we deriumd a like adherence on the part of the North.

Constitutional Union Party." Resolved, That we deem it highly expedient to send delegates to a Convention to be held in to nominate a Union candidate for Governor, and that; we will support the nomination of said.

Convention, whether it be Whig or Democrat. o-i 's -1 Resolved, That we invite all lovers of lata and order vrithont distinction part ies to join us i the vxaintenance of the Compromise of tie last Congress to aid us in the execution of, the laws, and to assist us in preserving the Constitution inviolate. i I Resolved, That we support no man who is disloyal to tlio Union qMIicsq United States: In Raker, a preamble 'set forth Whereas, we believe that the old issues of ihe Whig and Democratic parties are no longer before tho people, and wishing to obliterate the "old party asrociations that heretofore engrossed the brefer -leaving that 1. branch of tho. estimate to i Albany Argus- (one of the few Northern Dcmocratio papers' opposed to further slavery agitation) in alluding to Mr.

Thit the invitation was afterwards more gener-ally signed was not the result of solicitdtion on the jsart of its originators. No sooner did, the rBOvement become known than it was found that many regard to age or politics, irere desirous of being parties to it and the opportunity "being presented, they cordially availed themselves of it. No doubt, had it been the object to make a parade of names, the list might have been indefinitely extended without effort, Such we are gratified to say, is the. depth and strength in this city of the truly national "and patriotic sentiment which Mr.

Webster has e- mitted no suitable opportunity to inculcate and strengthen during his visit to this State. And, we may add, that, honorable as such expressions of respect may be to him, they are much more honorable to those who, regarding country as a-bove party, are prompt to tender them. THE MASSACHUSETTS COALITION-y JSTS. Ono hundred and seventy members (Whigs) of the late Senate and House of Representatives of Massachusetts have published an address to the people, exposing and denouncing the bargain of the democrats and free soilers for the election of Governor, United States Senator; The address says- V- think it duo to the fair fame of our State that such transactions should not go forth to the world in a' silence whichmight be construed into an admission that they arc in conformity with tho usual principles and conduct of those who are trusted by the pcoplo of Massachusetts to mako its laws. Wo think it due to the public morals that the true character of such acts should not bo obscured in- any minds by tho miserable sophistry which has been thrown over 'i "The address is quite lengthy, and exceedingly severe upon the coalitionists.

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW, IN VERMONT. Hon. Samuel Prentiss, U. S. District Judge of Vermont, (formerly a Senator in Congress,) at the opening of the court, May 21, delivered aa able charge upon the spirit of lawlessness and insubordination which, has recently found so ma ny advocates in the country.

He closed with discriminating and sound refutations of the "higher law" doctrines of the day. The last paragraph has a pointed reference to the Vermont nulUfying in relation to fugitive slaves, thus The merits of every law may be freely discussed, and opinions may be freely expressed for or against it. But it must be remembered that it is one thing, to disapprove of the law of the general government and seek by constitutional means to procure, its modifications or repeal, and quite another thing to oppose or encourage re sistance to it, or under the forms of -local legis lation to array the State authorities against its execution. Every act Congress passed pursuant and in conformity to the is by that instrument declared to be the supreme law of the land, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. Of course, every State enactment which authorises any interference with or obstruction Jto such general paramount law.

being in conflict with it, is inoperative and void This is a principle esseatial to the existence of the national government and it may be affirmed with truth, and I state it because it is matter cf the highest moment, that it is only under the operation of this principle, and by a faithful observance on the part of the States and the people of the obligations and injunctions of the constitution, that we can hope to preserve this Union, and continue its blessings to ourselves and our posterity."
