He next shows the advantages to be derived by our commerce, in being enabled to compete with Eng- land in the Asiastic trade, and in opening an inter- course with China, which this projected railroad js calculated to effect ; and then dwells on the facility of construction, from the fact of his having personal- ly inspected over 700 miles of the proposed route dur- ing the last summer, in which he gives a detailed , and interesting account of his own explorations, and those of others, commencing at the borders of Lake Michigan, thence to the Mississipp1, Milwau- kie, Prairie du Chien, the Cedars, Council Bluffs, to the terminus of the proposed route on the bor- ders of the Pacific, after penetrating through the Oregon territory. Mr. W. next points the attention of Congress to the progressive movements of New | England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and | Virginia—which States are all pushing their rail- | roads into, or in the State of Ohio, where they will | all meet, and form one grand line, to join thts road | where it proposes to cross the Mississippi, or be- tween that river and Lake Michigan. And when South Carolina shall have completed her road to Memphis, or through Nashville to the Ohio, ‘the | web will then be completed,” and the country could be brought together, at the grand centre, in the short space of “ four days,” and from the Pacific to any of the above cities in “ eight days,” and to Chinain | “twenty days.” Mr. W. next states, that his pro- ject would bring the extremes of the globe together | in thirty days, and that a cargo of teas could in that | event be delivered in any of the Atlantic cities in | thirty days, or in London in forty-five days! Such project would revolutionize the entire commerce of the world, placing us directly in the centre of all, and be a means of civilzing mankind. The total estimated cost of this road, when completed and in operation, will be $65,000,000; and to accom- plish this, Mr. W. proposes a grant of 92,160,000 acres of the public domain, and the appointment of com- missioners, to give titles and receive money for the sales of lands, or labor as an equivalent, thus hold- ing out an inducement to settlers to fill up the vast unpeopled regions of country along the proposed | line. After further speculating upon the immense | advantages that must result from the successful car- | rying out of such a project, Mr. W. details the par- ticulars of the terms upon which he would under- take such an immense work, as an individual enter- prise, which he would undertake to complete in a -period not exceeding fifteen years. There is no question as to the vast advantages which such a project is calculated to confer upon this rapidly rising country... The great desideratum | is, the supply of hands to accomplish such an under- taking ; but who can doubt.that, from the continued influx of emigrants, who flock periodically to our shores, and the great facility which the project pre- sents, of acquiring lots upon the public domain, that such an undertaking would succeed? The foreign emigrant, in landing upon our shores, is often obliged to roam about the Atlantic cities, in want of employment, and eventually becomes a pauper. Our | poor-houses are, as a consequence, filled annual'y | by hordes of the poor adventurers who flock to the American continent, lured there by the representa- tions of interested speculators. But such an under- taking as this would have the effect to empty the poor-houses, and woule afford an outlet for the ac- cumulated overplus that chokes up the avenues of trade and industry in our Atlantic cities, and hold outa strong inducement to the laboring classes of Europe to settle upon the public domain—upon the great and salutary principle, that “ labor is capital.” To view the project in all its aspects, both as affecting our foreign and domestic trade-the internal improve- | ments and commerce of the country—its stimulating | inflaenee upon agriculture—its advantages to the | artizan—to the penniless laborer, who is at once af- | forded a safe and a secure market for the sweat of * his brow—in fact, placing the entire project in juxta- position with the spirit of the age, and the onward progress of the nations, in the ‘*march of improve- | ment” we cannot too earnestly press it upon the at- tention of Congress, as the salutary effects of the undertaking will be felt from the very start. The advantages will be gradually increasing, year after year, and month after month, until the arteries of this whole region of country are thrown open to the en- terprizing and industrious. This is the destiny of our vast unexplored regions, sooner or later ; and, though skeptics may sneer at the undertaking, and look upon the contemplated project of a railroad acrose the Isthmus of Panama, which proposes to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific, as an argu- ment against such a work, we look upon such an objection as perfectly groundless and untenable— and, independent of every other consideration, the | great improvements which our territory would de- rive by the completion of a public railroad through | such a vast region of country, is in itself a conclu- sive argument in its favor. We trust that Congress will, therefore, throw every possible facility in the way, and that we shall see the work commence as | soon as practicable. | Tus Priors.—The Senate and the House of De- legates of the State of Maryland, have passed a re- solution directing their representatives in Congress to vote for a repeal of the law of 1837, throwing | open the pilot business to all who might choose to engage init. This cannot but have a favorable ef- fect upon the petition of the New York pilots, now before that body, praying for the same thing. A simi- lar resolution has passed the Assembly ol this State, and has doubtless passed the other House, and will be immediately forwarded to Washington. eens From CXgNFURGOs.—By the scr.
