“/ am Sir Oracle, an t irhfn / ape MV mouth let no
dog bterk."
l'or some days, it lias boon intimated that some*
tiling vory particular was going to happen—that
every thing was about to bo blown up, for that Mr.
Watkins Leigh was actually writing for tho PresB
on tho Slave Question! This important annuncia
tion of course, produced the solemnity of expect
ation and suspense, which is experienced in South
ern clinics when the unhappy native momentarily
expects the next shock of the Kurllnpiakc. “Have
you heard the news?” “No—what is it”’ “I am not
at liberty to say, but I will t•* 11 you in confidence.
Watkins Leigh is writing for the Press on the
Slave Question” ! ! ! Presently another gentleman
approaches, evidently big with tidings of no com
mon import. After a few words on Van Huron,
lie approaches tlie secret, the awful secret. “Have
you hoard the news’” “No—what is it?” “Why, I
am not exactly at liberty, but I will tell you, tog*
L no farther—Watkins Leigh is writing for tho
1 ress, on the Skive Question” ! ! ! Prodigious!
M lion wo saw Appomattox in the Mu juirer of
the day, we concluded that .Mr. Leigh's travail was
happily atchieved, and that Appomattox was the
child. A perusal of its features satisfied us that
wo were not mistaken in the conjecture of paront
ngc, suggested by tlie signature: Rut, wc will say,
that but for the flourish oftrumpcls which announ
ced its appearance, and superseded conjecture, and
the car marks of tho style, which are too familiar
to bo mistaken, wo should not have concluded the
article to bo Mr. Leigh’s, for we could not believe
a prion, that Watkins Leigh would have put forth
an argument unphilosophicu) in all its essentials,
and decidedly inferior in every particular, to one on
tho same side, delivered by a stripling—decidedly
inferior in style, in learned research, and in grasp
of comprehension; as the Public in a few days,
will have ail opportunity of judging. Wo mean
no direspect to .Air. Leigh; very fur from it; but wo
in common we presume, with many others, do not
exactly relish the prelude to Appomattox’s intro,
duct ion to the Public.
Me said that this address was unpliilosopliical
in all its essentials. Let us point out one in
stance. The writer recommends three things to
the people of Pastern Virginia, the last of which
is stated in these words—
3. I do most earnestly and deliberately recoin,
mend to all tlio people ot the slave-bolding parts
of Virginia—and moreover to all the people of
the Southern and Southwestern slave-holding
•States, who have a common interest with us and
are exposed to the same dangers—to discourage
every man by his own example, and by advice to
his neighbors, the circulation among them of the
papers of tho \ irgini i uh-ililion presses; upon the
like reasons of common prudence, that would not
tolerate the dissemination of writings wilfully in
cendiary. 1 do not think, and therefore I do not
say, that our abolition presses are wilfully incen
diary; and therefore, I entertain no resentment to
wards the editors. Jhit to ns it can make no odds,
wether their public at ions are editorial or contribu
ted— in the form of speeches or of essays—dicta
ted by indiscretion, or carelessness of conse
quences, or blindness to them: to us the danger and
the mischief arc the same, as if they were dictated
•>y iliCja' >st m .«•••■•,! dosiga. '!''m oftasions of in
flammatory matter they have already poured forth,
and the temper,in which they have already taken up
the subject, should warn us all of the burning lava
yet to lie discharged upon us; which, like the tra
vail ot a volcano in the immediate neighborhood
ol our dwellings, threatens the more danger and
mischief, for coining from them. The public sen
timent, we see, is to lie ‘'developed”'—tlie subject
is to bo discussed—and lie that does not foresee in
what tone it will lie discussed in the public prints,
cannot lie made to take warning. Let us pay no
regard to the claim which may he asserted for the
independence of the press: it, in the exercise of
their independence, they choose to print, wo, in
the exercise of our independence, may choose to
suppress, to the uttermost of our power, what we
deem inflammatory, dangerous, mischievous. Kvo
ry man lias a perflsi right to withdraw his
subscription from any newspaper, and to
d scourage the circulation of it; and if lie
thinks llio opinions it maintains, likely to produce
evil, ho is hound, in duty to his coentry, to exer
cise that right. I have been credibly informed,
that the publications contained in a certain inde
pendent press during the Into war, givin*r an ac
count ot the defenceless condition of Washington,
were the real incentive to (Jeneral K<>ss’s”visil
to. that city. 1 he claim to such independence
ol the press, as not only gives it freedom to
publish, hut a right to tree unrestrained cir
culation among those whom the circulation mnv
injure, is, in truth, a claim to absolute dominion;
which [ shall never acknowledge in any man or
set of men whatever. I want no sedition laws—I
would have none—there is a check, a sufficient
check, in the influence of public opinion, if timely,
promptly and vigorously exerted; and, in my deli
berate judgment, prudence, justice, necessity, re
quire /ne people of I h° whole. slave holding country
to unite in the exercise of that cheek, upon the pre
sent occasion.
ewcil understand the object of this rccom
mendation. The recommendation itself is not
expected, perhaps is not wished, to he put in force,
i ho design is to hold it in Irrromn over Ihe Vir
gir.in Press, particularly the Press of this City, for
the purpose of intimidating it, and suppressing
that discussion which is so much dreaded l>y Ap.
•pnmaltox, not from fear of its effects on the slaves,
heeauf o he entertains no such fears, he nor any
other man of sense; lnit because discussion must
ho followed, sooner or later, by the overthrow ol
slavery itself. \\ n know not how the nerves ol
others may he affected by the apprehension ol
having this recommendation put in force against
them, hut for ourselves it will not sway our course
a hairs breadth, cither in restraint, or in oteile.
incut. \i e ►hall go on as we have begun, to pub
lisli for the Public what is offered by that Public—
and never did any subject s » choke up the Press—
nud our own r< (lections, if any occur to us as o
use to the people of Virginia,
Put, suppose Appomattox to ho in earnest in re
commending to all Pastern Virginia, to proscrilx
the two political papers of this city, and further
more, that his recommendation is embraced hj
those whom lie lias taken under tutelage? Dooi
he imagine he ran thus muzzle the f'm.i? Duci
lie imagine he can tlitis put it down? Vain expect
niion! founded in titter ignorance, or disregard a'
least, of the lu\-t known rules of human action
^ hen did per.'’cut ion ever promote the cause o
bigotry or intolerance' When did the fire and fag
C"t, ever suppress heresy? Does he suppose tha
there are not in all parts of Virginia, even HalifaJ
and Mecklenburg, and Southampton, many win
an friendly to that cause which he wishes 1o de
stroy, by putting down the free Press of Virginia
M ill not many generous spirits in those counties
refuse t heir concurrence in a regular and organize
attempt, to silence the Public Press? Wo have lei
ters on file which assure us that such is the state c
things. I<et Mr Leigh assure himself t hat there is on
thing even above hi* ability—and that is to pri
down in this country, any Press for tho offence r
freedom of discussion. Ilo and his friends, and hi
admirers, and all tho largo slave holders, maj
withdraw their support, as they have tho
unquestioned right to do, but the doomed
Press will, for that very cause, flourish with
increased vigor and expansion. Tho fact has on.
ly to he made known, to call to its assistance
thousands who otherwiso would never have ex.
tended it. Wo wish no such state of things_we
wish no man to withdraw his name from us, he.
causo wo halo to offend old friends, and deprecate
the excitement which produces such a course_
hut in truth, any number of withdrawals lor such
a cause would bo far from injuring us.
Appomattox has worded his recommendation
with exceeding caution. lie woll knew the delicate
ground upon which lie was treading, and the odium
ami defeat which havo ever attended, in all coun
tries where it has got root, every attempt to muz
z!o tho Press; and he therefore labors to repre
sent the measure which he recommends, as
harmless in principle, and as not obnoxious
to the charge of being an effort to muzzle the
Press. But in reality, tho principle of his recom
mendation and that of tho Sedition I,aw is the
same; the only difTercnco is in the mode. Both
aro levelled at tho freedom of discussion, inflict
penalties for tho past, and provide restrictions for
the future. The motive and end of both a-"
same. Why docs not Mr. Leigh leave Public
opinion to reach its own conclusions? Why does
lie excite, stimulate, alarm aud terrify it into the
infliction of a penalty, which, if coexlensively en
forced with the country to which ho makes his ap.
peal, would overthrow the two Metropolitan Poli
tical Presses, unless corresponding assistance caino
from other quarters? In vain does lie labor to exon
crate his recommendation from the odium of an at.
tempt to muzzle the Press: Such it is, In principle
and design. If he can succeed—if at this period
ol tho world, and this stage of human impro* e
ment—if in tho Commonwealth of Virginia, he
can prevail with Public opinion to put down the
Public Press, and when, too, that Public Press has
vol gone to such lengths in the deprecated discus*
sion ns the General Assembly of Virginia—if, Her.
culcs like, he can do this—let him do it, with all
our hearts. But, he cannot do <t.
" e ask attention to the_/?rs< of tho recommenda
tions which Appomatox makes.
1 earnestly recommend to them to provide
(quietly and silently, but, at the same time, prompt
ly and sufficiently) arms and ammunition for the
defence of themselves, and thoir families and
neighbors; to concert their plans ot action among
themselves, in anticipation of any insurrectionary
spirit that may manifest itself among the slaves; to
hold themselves in constant readiness to meet and
suppress servilo rebellion, at a minute’s warning;
to arrange voluntary bodies of minute-men, in
short, appointing convenient places of rendezvous
lor them; meantime, to maintain the strictest dis
cipline; to stifle the slightest breath of sedition, to
exercise the closest vigilance, to infuse the 'utmost
activity, the highest order and prudence into their
ordinary police, of which it is susceptible. I,et r.o
man shun the patrolc duty. Let there be no inhu
manity towards the blacks, whatever causo of ex
citement may arise—for our own credit none—but
no neglect, no imprudent indulgence. If we ex.
ercise duo caution, no want of discretion in others
will endanger our peace; if we neglect or remit a
proper care for ourselves, wo need not now expect
that others will exercise auy care for us, and our
wives and children must bear the consequences of
our supinenoss and folly.
As our wise and considerate representatives
have resolved to await, and in effect to invite, a
developing of the public sentiment, it is hardly
necessary to remind the people of Eastern and
.Southern Virginia, of tho vital importance of their
next elections. I trust in Heaven, that no consi.
deration of personal friendship, impartiality for
private worth, will have the least influence on
their votes—that they will select their represonia-,
tives with a single regardtothis question; upon
which their property, their native land, depends
—that they will return no man who shall not
openly renounce and abjure all projects for aboli
tion, present or prospective, or for the liberation of
slaves by colonization; all schemes, in short profes
smg that object by whatever means or process.
To my western fellow citizens I do not presume
to offer advico: but I hopethey will seriously and
deliberately consider, whether they have any ends
which can he accomplished by the abolition of sla
very (if that were possible) or by projects for abo
1 it on, which can never have any other effect than to
impair the value ot oar property,to jeopard oar peace
and safety, to light a torefi, which, if it shall con.
sumo tho dwellings of some of us, will surely be
extinguished in negro blood; and whether, if they
have any ends in view, which such projects, por
tending such consequences, may really tend to the
accomplishment of, these arc justifiable means. I
pray them to consider, whether any end can justify
such means. And then, their next elections will
resolve tho question, whether inflammatory lan.
gunge, which can have no effect, hut one, let if flow
from indiscretion or ovor-muoh zeal, and not from
vicious design, he excusable and praiseworthy in
their eyes.
In another part of his address, Appomattox,
having then, another object in view, namely, to
disprove the necessity of abolition from the recur
rence of insurrection, by ridiculing the South
ampton attempt, exclaims “Oar fears of danger,
present or prospective, from our slaves! I blush—
I cannot repress tho sentiment—I burn with
shame and indignation at the thought!”
A child will detect the glaring inconsistency o
the recommendation No. 1, and this heroic burst o
passion, at tho very idea of clanger from such •
source. We concur most fully in the sentiment—
we too burn w itI) indignation, at the suggestion o
fear cf our slaves. Why then docs Appoinatto:
gravely recommend a general arming of the com
munity, as if some mighty and pregnant dangc
menaced the Commonwealth? Why did lie thin!
it necessary to alarm the old women and childrci
by preparing for a danger, the very imagination o
which, he laughs to scorfl? Is this frank? Is i
Candid? Is it manly? Is it becoming a man o
the dignity and reputation of Mr. Leigh, to tun
, alarmist, nnd ssaro ignorance and weakness In
'he presentation of dangers which he himself ridi
coles, as they deserve to bo ridiculed?
Mr. Leigh belongs to a school which has fallei
behind tho world, and will never again overtalo
it—that school which opposes itself with inflexi
hie obstinacy to nil change in the Constitution o
Societies, and is attached with oriental supersti
lion, to tho more majorum and cobwebs of ancicn
usages.
Internal Improvement.— Yesterday the ' subjoc
cf so much importance, the Central Improvemen
through Virginia, was called up in the House r
Delegates, and Mr. McDowell, Chairman of th
; Committee of Internal I mprovement, addressed th
. Mouse in u most able speech, in vindication ofth
- transccndant advantages of the improvement an
’ principle of loan. His peroration, in wbic
, alluding to the possiblo refusal of the (fener.i
I Assembly to effect this improvement, lie nnnour
- cod the ptobablo consequences, was the mo
f potent piece of oloquonec, by universal concessior
r ever listened to in that Mouse. No attempt, m u
t made to reply, yet the loan feature was vote
f down by a majority of fen, rendering it rnanifcsi
* that tho last hope of constructing this great wor
I>y State moans, has vanished. N<» other a'tr rna
»ivo there loro, is loft, but to adopt Mr. Cabell's
proposition, which for pur own part, wo prefer on
principle, or to give up the mutter altogether.
'•<> hoiiijvo there is u strong probahilily that that
proposition will succeed.

Richmond would receive goods front Philadelphia,
it .Steam.boats should ho employed from, and to
\ on;, (<!v.this would bo an inevitable consorpiencc)
lor the purposes ot transportation, in one.third
less time, than hy the James River navigation.—
While a vessel is sailing from either Harrison’s
Bar, \Vestover or Turkey Island, to the Chesa
peake; another, would, if sailing from York, he
iiaif way up the Bay. Tho distances from either
Westovcr, or Turkey Island, “to Old Point,”
where a vessel from James River enters the Che
sapeake; and from Old Point to the mouth of York
River, or a point opposite to it, (not less than lGO
miles) would be saved. The angle which is neces.
sarily made, a^ the extremity of Ihi/.uhetli City
county, by vessels navigating from James river up
the Bay, would he avoided. Again, vessels laden !
at York 1 own, and destined lor Kuropo or any
foreign port, would have their navigation, or dis
tance to the ocean, reduced fully, nay more, than
one half, than from Westovcr, or Turkey Is! mil,
to the Atlantic. 'The anchorage for vessels in York
river is not. exceeded hy any in America; during
the boisterous and severe winter of 177D—80, two
French vessels ol war, the one a lino of battle
ship, the other a frigate, remained secure and un
hurt, through the winter; never losing or dragging
their anchors. On the score of accommodation,
tor housing goods and produce, no difficulty would
sensing one of the largest brick establishments,
with brick offices, lias been lieanj to say, ho would
surrender his residence for this purpose, and take
its valuation, in shares, or stock of a company,
which should he formed, for the purpose of esta
blishing such a road as I am now contemplating.
How is this Road to ailed the City of Richmond?
has been an inquiry. Jnjuriously?—Certainly not.
Reneficially?—Assuredly so, l answer. Richmond
must ever lie the grand depot of the products of
the Western Country. There they must he laud
ed from tho boats navigating the Canal. She will
still bo, and continue to hi?, what nature has »!,».
signed her to lie, the capital of the Slate—the great
mart for tfl • interchange of product of raw ma
terials, for manufactured article- in truth, the
great reservoir of western ngrictiltur.il industry.
Will the Richmond merchant receive no houefit, or
I may more properly say profit, if the articles in
Richmond, can he transported in seven or eiglg
hours to York To.vn, and in five hours more, lie on
'their voyage to their destined ports? W ill they
receive no benefit from this Road, if by it, and the
uninterrupted navigation of the River, they can
import and export, in winter, a-, in summer, their
merchandize and unmanufactured products, one
half short of the distance and li no, in which they
now receive them? Ivxcept in the winter of l'/'i!)—
’80, York River at York Town, or for mih ■ above it,
has never been frozen, so as to impede navigation.
Is this the case in .fames River? Ilow long ha,
the commerce of ll,at River heen, during the y.rr
Mctil winter, embargoed by ire? Is it vet free.’ I
not at this moment, its commerce blockaded l»v an
impend ruble rock of ice, extending miles below
the metropolis? The transit of vi ...ads in York
| River, has never for a moment been occluded,
throughout this severe winter: a free ingress, and
egress, has heen open to i's commerce, the whole
winter. Will it be no gra t.i!iun'ion ton man of bu
siness in Richmond, to find, that in seven or eight
hours after he leave.. Ins domicil, ho will have ta
ken shipping at York Town, with an uriimped.-i!
navigation open to his port of dcst.nalion, oith'-i

• to.td to sumo convenient point, where a »:•.!".! pc ;t
■ •ir shipping can be tyund below Harrison's : ••. *
'i'li • former improvement is inled in tho hod of a
••avigablo river wlierc: the lido ebbs and flows, con- J
frequently i n Uural hi h way which belong to tho
l nited States under the-fcderul compact, or it be- '
longs to Ine State, consequently should not Im !
surriTdern'l by either, to a joint stock com]>:my, i
unlci s in a ease of groat emergency. It is a.-, i
know.edged that this river is susceptive of great
improvement, which would add greatly to the
commercial convenience of this city, and the slate
.1. iirge. I’ho design of a rail way is entirely ar
tiu a ; consequently, by letting this design to
company, under circumstances .-neb
cist, tho public iut !, as well loca! i
commercial, would likely be benefittcd, if duo can
!!"n bo preserved by tbo .State in granting the
I !us dosign would most likely ,ro into
itiim-vi.ite operation, and its good or usele.-s i !’.
fed fairly tested, before tho improvements on the
river could bo complete, if tbo right ' juris,
diction were now settled, and operations mime,
dialt ;. begun. Should a Rail Road succt od und i
present circumstances, it would no doubt continue,
in case the State extend her commercial column
ideations to the. Western waters. Tim trade. <•
this pi ico will likely increase, particularly in v
sols of burthen and draft of water beyond whai
could be brought to this place, if the river wen
improved in the best manner it is susceptible._
The j.’ulon y now prevails in this city, that tin
business of this place would descend to the. tormin
ation o! the liuil I’oud, at tho port on the river.—
f hey should know, or reeollec*, that Kdinbiire!
has her l.eitb; (.'lasgow her Port tihisyew; am
London her Mocks; yet .ve bod that the conimer
cial business lias not descended to either of tin
places of receiving him discharging the cargoes o
tui1 ships, or vessels which enter these ports m
Mocks. Those of London are three of magnitude,
! • • which have been recently built* tho e of the
East and West Indies within about tbirtv years,
ami tho London a few years before. Tne V. o: t
India Dock covers .’> 1 acres of ground; it is locatvd
near the lower extremity ofi.be Isle of Dogs, more
th in !f miles from the new Custom House, which h
built, near London Itridge. These Mocks hav«
tln ir entrance from the river at or near Ulackwall
1 lie hast 1 iima Mocks are a small distance lowe
. mey cover i $ acres of ground.—
The communication hot.ween these Docks and the
city is l>y the Commercial road and tin; streets lead
iug to tlie various sale and warehouses in the city.
I lie valuable India goods arc conveyed in covered
waggons, locked up to prevent either smuggling
or trands. Tiro house ot this Company is tour
miles, or more, from their Docks, and it is calcu
lated that their waggons move at the rate of two
and a half miles per hour; so that their Conner..
(ion as to time is ner the same as it would require
i from the Basin of the James River Canal to the
contemplated port, rl he I.ondou Rooks are locul
i ed more contiguous to tiio city; they cover twenty
I ; eres of ground, and are more than threo hundred
yards from the river. These Docks receive all the
; v* ss,':s laden 'v11ti tohaceo, and have two ware
' houses attached for storing the same; they .are mi.
I der the entire direction of the officers of the Cu-.
I torus, 'flic stock of this Company is £1. .f»;),0{)();
their profits limited to It) per rent., which 1 is not
i yet. hern verified. Whoever has examined faith,
I IVrt Glasgow, or these Docks, will abundantly ve
■ rily, that neither have ever diminished theirade
| of their contiguou■; cities; hut, on the contrary,
i have hern found agreeable conveniences to each.
When the West, India Docks were about to be
] erected, much excitement prove led as to their di. .
j lance from the city; hut the good effects of these
i Docks have I, • m felt and acknowledged by all
| concerned i i the trade. This road, if it >■hmihi
take cifcct, will, according to my belief, have a ten
denev to give a permanent increase as well to the
commerce as the value of property in tins city_
as it v,,il iuviie commercial capital and enterprise
from abroad. It may he remarked bv such ;.s are
not acquainted v. itli Hie intercourse hot ween the
ci’y of I. uidon, the Docks, and the shipping in the
river, (which extend nearly four miles,) iiidcpen
dent of those in the Rocha, why a R ail Reed h.;>
not been made from the two lower Rocks to tin
city. The answer is, that the number of vehicles
ot various descriptions, and individuals cs well on
lior el.aek :s on foot, which pays and ri pass (hi?
line of communication, prevent such a de ign, un.
less ti e road were made on nrcl.es above or w uhin
an aque hic.t below the surface of those or. >s com.
mimic, it ions, rit;c. r of 'viii.li could only extend !c
Hie city line, from which the transportation mu.*'
ho along the streets to ihe respectivo stores 01

Indeed, ail hough 11 ill Roads of various description
have I ecu long in use in Great Britain and else
