Richmond, Friday, June 14.
tnew rail road.
Tlio Compiler recommends the establishment of
a Rni| Road between this City and Potomac Creek.
—This suggestion presents itself under two points
of view:—1st. Is the scheme an useful one ? 2d. Is
this the time for us to undertake it ?
Its utility seems to he unquestioned. In conver
sation on Monday last with our accomplished En
gineer, Moncuro Robinson, Ewp, he specified this
road among the most useful to the public, and
the most profitable to the stockholders, which could
l*o undertaken in Virginia. Among the articles of
transportation, he pointed out our coal—which
might he conveyed cheaply, and without much hand
ling and risk of breaking, to Fredericksburg—and by
way of the Potomac, to Washington, Alexandria, &e.
But lie particularly mentioned the carrying of passen
gers, along the great thoroughfare from South to
North, as one of the great sources of emolument to
the road. Tlio experience of the Petersburg Rail
Road, so far, shows us, that passengers are a greater
source of profit than even articles of transportation
—and in this respect, ho contends that the Petersburg
Rail Road will always have the advantage of the
Portsmouth Road. For example—tlio following are
the Receipts of transportation on the Petersburg
Road from its opening on the 28lh October, 1832,
down to June 1st, 1833:
Months. Passengers. Freight.
November, $747 48 $456 13
December, 685 74 557 96
January, 1026 61 595 80
February. 1144 79 861 87
M»rcb, 1360 89 1321 69
Apdl, 1515 72 1835 92
M»y. 1609 62 1297 25
. $8190 85 $6926 52
lhus, it nppenrs that for the Inst soven months,
Uie tolls from passengers are $1,2<>1 more than the
freight of produce and goods.
” ny miiouiu noi me contemplated Road equally
enjoy this great and growing source of profit? The
rapidity of the communication (in 5 or G hours, per
haps, from Fredericksburg to Richmond,) will in
vite more passengers, speed the mail, and multiply
the tolls. That this enterprizc, therefore, will here
after ho completed, appears sufficiently obvious.—
But then the next question occurs—Is this the time
for us to undertake it? Is it not best for us to do one
thing nt a time? ffc are more deeply concerned in
the Western Enterprizc. Is it not better for us to
devote nil our energies to this grent object first—and
not distract our attention or divide our Capital?—
Complete that ontorprize, and every thing else will
be easy to us. It is the bnttlo of Arheln.—Win it
and the whole Persian Empire will be at our feet*
Accomplish this Western Work, and where is the
enterprize that will be beyond our attainment? The
spirit which overcomes this difficulty, will make
light of every other.
Mr. Randolph of R.
Wo understand, that the will of Mr. R. was not
presented for probat at the last Charlotte Court. As
J udge Incker was not present, Mr. Win. Leigh de
clined opening the will, which was left in. his pos
session by Mr. It. before lie went to Russia. As his
papers have not yet been ransacked, it is impossible
to say* whether he has left a later one behind him.
A schedule has been taken of his slaves and hor
ses by his steward, since his death—from which it
»PPT8’ t*mt *,e 'vns in possession of 318 slaves, and
180 horses—of which, about 120 are blood horses.
- Mr. B. W. Leigh denies the report, that Mr. R. re
quested of him to write bis life—but the public have
looked to him, or to Judge Henry St. George Tuck
er, for a collection of the speeches, and extracts
iroin ' 'O're.- .. ‘—along with » biegmphl
cal sketch, of this distinguished man. Wo are aware
that mail} or hta rnhmhte papers, and among them
probably Ins Congrewiona,” were burnt along with
his house u Rizuiiv, in 1810 or ’12—hut then then
are parts M hia corn- .pomb-nce, yet extant, which,
if it were culled with taste and discretion, might
form a brilliant addition to American Annuls and
English Literature.
We have commenced this day a Series of Sketches
from the N. Y. American—which, on several ac
counts, will scarcely do justice to Mr. II. The story
of the Chess-playing with Mr. Jefferson may have
been told by him at that time, as it is related—hut
some of his friends here have heard only, that on
one occasion he played Chess with Mr. Jefferson,
ami heat him—hut they do not believe, that any such
thing wus the cause of the ulienation between tlieso
gentlemen.
SIGNS! SIGNS!!

not altogether chiming in the movements for thu next Pre

In commenting upon this article, the Clay organ in this
City (which seekstorecon.il. Clayi-m, Bankisiii, Tarill

its State Rights!) takes a little lire in its tinn—expresses
its regret at the Telegraph having “proceeded to cx
Clude Mr. Clay Iron, the list ol ..dates, as one whom it
end its friends cannot support”—calls upon all good and true
men to unite against the Arch M»girian-to put Aim down
■ all events—and as much laments to - see tho friends
ot Mr. Calhoun pointing a lance at Mr. Clay, as woshonhi
be to see the Iriemls ol the latter do aught to injure Mr
Calhoun, or Mr. Leigh, or Mr. McLean? For our-elves,

VVe repel the charges and insmuaihiiis'of the » Kanaw- :

what authority does this man dare to say, that we arc

Who authorized the ” K Banner” to assert that we are
in favor of an immediate and „nq.i .lifted surrender of the
Publuy Lands ? We do not agree will, the President in
the opinion he has lately expressed upon thal subject.—
No transfer ought to l.e made, but on , fair price, and
under proper re.tr.e ion*, far the good of the whole Union.

IMS subject was first fi.rrr.ally presented for the public
consideration—that no such disposition ought to be made
ol the Public Lands, nor any distribution of their proceeds
under Mr. Clay’s liitl, until an amendment hns been made I
to the ( onstitutiou. It is thus ordy that we clear away all '
doub tover the power, and prevent every shadow ol usurps- |

The U. S.’ Telegraph charges us with abandoning the

vor of the Proclamation, and of the Force Bill! This is
folly, ot it is falsehood.
We do not clamour about Slavery, because we cannot
believe the Citizens of the North arc mad enough to trench
upon our Rights.
Wre were and aro opposed to certain principles of the
Proclamation.— We were ami aie opposed to the most ob
noxious parts of the Force Bill, the Telegraph kuows
all this, perfectly well. But why attempt to call up either
the Proclamation or the Force Bill, on the question of
Slavery? W « tell the Telegraph, that if Congress meddles
with our slaves, not a hundred Proclamations, nor a thou
sand Force Bills could muzzle the South. We should
laugh them all lo scorn. The Union could not survive
such a shock twelve months. We should be tko first to
declare those “powers” conferred to have been grossly
“perverted"—the Constitution flagrantly violated—and the
Union at an end.

TO Tl,F editors of tuf. F.xqurnr.R
In infiling your attention, and that ol the public to the
agriculture of Virginia, I offer no apology other Ilian tho as- !
aurances of the very deepinlerest, which I (in common with 1
others,) Icel in the subject. Among the great diversity !
° topics presented to the human mind, none merits more !
attention, oris more worthy of a thorough investigation :
than Agriculture. No country j, better adapted to its
study or practice than our*, and surely there is no occu
pation, whirh is more in accordance with our free jnslitu- I
lions, nr more conducive to our permanent happiness—1
" hen we cast our eyes around, and behold tho devastation !
and rum of large tracts of country, which in •• by.gone '
times were studded with the majestic oak, or carpeted
with luxuriant verdure, we pause and involuntarily en- I
quire of ourselves what has wrought the change. |, j, ,
0 he attnhuted to the superficial fertility ol our lands, I
pc impo icy of legislation, or to an Injudicious system of I
in- mu ry. A discriminating and observing mind will |
very readily an.wrr, and properly ascribe the hulk of our
misfortunes to a too long continuance in a reckless,sloven
ly, unwise system of (arming. I
,t A.\u *nnPn". pro»’°*"ion »« will scarcely he dotthfed. |

Let sither ol these great departments of industry prosper !
In any country, and you will .*« thes hcncf,*j,| effect* Hif

hold * corresponding languor pervading all the avocations j
01 life. If It is true, that our Slate is not prosperous at1
this time, tnd that the above premises are roirect, it would j
*«cm (o follow as a consequence, that, if we desire to bet
ter its condition, we must direct our attention more assi
duously, either to agriculture, commerce, or manufac
tures. Having arrived at this conclusion, when we look ,
lo our mixed population, as well as al the character of our
staple production*, we would naturally conclude, that the
improvement ol the State could he more certainly effect
ed by ameliorating its agricultural condition, tiiau by the ;
adoption of either ol the other mode* just suggested.
Judging from recent indication* given in your city and
elsewhere, we have good re»won*for believing, that a new
era i* approaching, and it is ta be hoped, that many a re
source will be developed, wliicji heiotolore we thought
this State neither had, and probably never was destined 1
to possess. In our esreer as a community, we have]
doubtless omitted much, and “left undone those things
which we ought to have done,” thereby carelessly con
signing much to neglect and to ruin, which as good stew
ards, we should have nurtured, il lor no other ronsidera
liou than purely that of beuefitting the Commonwealth.
It is evident, that we are hourly becoming more sensible
of our situation and of the great importance of making
more vigorous efforts in the walks of inter nal improve
ntetit and ol agriculture. The time has arrived when our
mi'ldlfe-aged citizens should delight more in pointing to
other monuments of their fame, than this or that speech
or political disquisition, and (or every young Virginian to
say to himseli, I will aid the land of my fathers in sur
mounting her embarrassments, or we will sink together
with her noble pendant nailed lo the mast.
It may with propriety be said, that the toast given by
a distinguished individual, that “Farmers are the liberal
supporters of every interest but thrir own” has remained
with us loo long uticontradirU'd. However, I can venture
to say, that the laitdahlo efforts ol a lew individuals in im
proving the agricultural condition ol the Mate, would ena
ble them conscientiously to repudiate the sentiment.
Having hinted this much, I will take the liberty of ad
verting tootle tact—that is, the existence of one agricul
tural paper in Srottsville, Alhemaile county, and the as
surance of another being *hortly edited in" Richmond._
This indicates a disposition, which 1 am in hopes will -.oon
become general, as f am sure it must be the harbinger ol
a more flourishing period, uttd if cherished and sustained
by our citizens, must greatly enhance their condition, and
make the “ wilderness blossom as the rose.”
urge reason* wiry me intelligent should patronize
our agricultural papers, or to exhort the other portion* ol
society to imitate the example set by their countrymen to
the North, as well as by the inhabitants of Europe, may
be esteemed presumption by the one ami flirtation by th«
other. Hut whatever opinion* may be entertained on those
points, 1 am sure that nothing would be more gratifying
to a few (and perhaps many) individuals, than to sec our
intelligent citizens light the torch and lead the way. No
one need doubt, hut that the substantial yeomanry of our
land would follow iheir example, ami profit by their sag*,
rity. The press, since its dawn in this hemispheie, has f|.
luinined our horizon, and enabled us to make eolossal
stiidcs, whether in science, in government, or in the arts.
It is in fact nearly omnipotent—and there i« no good rea!
son to doubt, why it ahoul.t not be a* serviceable when
made to stoop to the retired cottage, to amuse and euliglu
cn its humble inmates, as when it ascends to moro ex.died
regions.
In concluding this suggestion relative to agricultural pa
pers, 1 will only add, that *‘ A Howl ed ee is potetr,” and
that it matters not whether we acquire it by following the
husbandman through his fields, or from the columns of a
paper.
•• What but mind, enlightened and expanded, gives to
civilized society the comforts and means of happiness !
which is no where lound in a savage life? And il the*
mind is beneficial to labour by its skill and contrivance, the
more it Is instructed in those laws, which n*to<e has’ es
(ablished for the government of matter, and in the experi
ence and improvements oj others, tho more likely it is to
prove beneficial to on# physical powers.”

I he otiginal preface, above referred to, was submitted to
ihe Editors of die Richmond Enquirer and the Whig.—
I hey earl, readily consented to publish it; but before they
did, the letter from the Ex-President alluded to, on some
important constitutional points, to another high political
character, made its appearance. The author of the pre
ace hastened to add a postscript to the preface on that
• NoMvdlist,Hiding, it made its appearance in Ihe
lug with the I . 8. The author rereived a civil and re
spectlul note from the senior Editor of the Enquirer, la
menting die severities of die strictures in the P. S and
hoping that the author would live to see hts errors and re

July, 1832, introduced the Declaration of Independence
by an extract Irotn the 3d chapter ot the Intended work
in notice of Lee • criticisms on that distinguished state pa
*lTr cer,alh'y * sufficient compliment to induce die au
thor to hope to see the publication of the preface in that
print: Hat that never took place. Some scurrilous and
petty papers to the North abused the P. 8. to the Prelare
which the author heard of, but never saw.
In a short Caro published in the Whig, the author in
v.ted those who objected to the P. 8. to tho Preface to
come forward with their objections, and if he did not sus
tain the allusions objected to, he would, as the Editor ol
the Enquirer hoped, most cheer fully retract them And
he agam repeats what he then said—•• Certainly, if the
persons and circumstances alluded to are so sound and or
thodox ",those avowed, gratuitous champions and defend
ers seem to think, theie ran he no cause for shrinking
from * fair xml open exhibition and exposure, of fbe er
roneous and injurious allusions in the P. 8. to their favo
rite Statesman.’’
The elder Editor of the Whig «. ss devoted an admirer
"I ,h" Personage alluded to, s. the one of the same
,n 'h* fclMptirer, or any one else, and differs from
te author of this undertaking on more points of the lead
ing politics of the present day than that other Editor —
Ye., as an impartial anil independent Editor, he did not
hin.J *• publish the P. 8 , containing
thing- adverse to his own sentiments and feelings. Tht*
m.gh to recommend him strongly, it is admitted, *0 all
who wish lose* both -Ides of eve.y interesting and im

indulge in his scrupulous retrainings from the s,me course.
Or rather. as a more correct po.|tj„n, public Journals a^e
the coo,,non vehicle, of conveyance for all public semi
mem. decently expressed, and ought nut to be closed
against any; while their conductors sre free and have an
equal right to controvert and expo-e the errors of soy
such sentiments whether published in theR own pr an/
other Journals. In other words, they sis the j.Jg-s of

j lingness to pourout their whole vials of wrath on the au

j thiil Magistrate, liko Washington the first, was a war- i
nor. who fearlessly staked his hie in the field for hi* conn- '
tiy; a mi like Washington, as President, tramples every,
personal consideration and self-aggrandizement under loot 1
lor his country’s welfare, while he stands unshaken in hi* |
! ow" conscious rectitude, amidst the different contending 1

, Messrs. Editors: 1 have observed, of late, that an I
i o(r"r‘ >» making hy some Editors South of the Potomac to j
convince the Southern people, that a Northern eombina- !
• ion is forming to interior*- with tho system of slavery, in !
•itch a manner as to endanger the peace and safety of;
tlio<e sections of the country where it exists. It ha*seem- I
ed to me that it such an impression should prevail exlen- j
•ively at the South, tho effect ol it would ho disastrous to !
the people of colour, and to the Union; nnd that every !
reasonable ai d nore**.iry cffhrt should he made, hy those !
who understand Northern feelings, to prevent wrong an*} !
injurious impression* on thi* subject hum gaining cuiren- I
cy. Having travelled in all the New England States I
Within the last ten months as an agent for the American !
Uploniz ition Society, and having endeavored lo ascertain
the feelings and sentiments generally prevalent on tin
subject ol slavery nnd emancipation, ns well as colour/*- !
lion, 1 have thought proper to communicate tho results ol ;
tnv ohservnihm.
It is doubtless well known lint the system ol slavery is
very generally abhorred by the people ol New England,
and that statement* can be made in regard to it in popular
addresses which are fitted t0 produce sympathy, and even
strong excitement. It may he known aho, tint a vigoiou*
and persevering effort has been nude to produce such ex
citement; but there is evidently room lor misapprehension
ill regard lo (iie number and influence ol those engaged
in it. Fiom the Hying reports in circulation, and the
statements often met with in certain newspapers, one is in
danger or forming conclusions wide ot the truth. Mr.
Garri.-on lias been engaged for several years in opposing
slavery in a manner which would have excited hut little
notice,or aympathy in New England, had it not been for
tlie hostility manifested towards him, and the rewards of
feiad for hi* apprehension, by legislative lio.lies, indivi
duals, or combinations or individuals, in the slave States.
These have given him an opportunity ot appealing to the
sympathy of those who are opposed to slavery, and many
things have been tolerated from his pen on thi9 account,
which otherwise would have beeu abhorred. Hi« paper
gained but little notice except among the colored people, till
he commenced hi* attacks upon the Colonization Society;
against which he has written as violently as against slave
ry. The New England Anti-Slavery Society was lorm
c.l by him and a lew other individuals who have adopted
his hostility to the Colonization Society. The objects of
tlie Anti-Slavery Society, as defined iri the second article
of tile constitution are such, as probably the great body of
the people of New England would rejoice to see acrom
plisbcd by proper means. Consequently there has been a
willingness lo hear addresses on its hehall as its objects
were to be advanced by "means sanctioned by taw, hu
manity and religion."'' There has been some curiosity
to hear Mr. Garrison, as there would be to hear any man
for whom the Legislature of a “Sovereign Stott” bad of
fered $5000. Several agents have been employed lo tra
vel a part ol the la*t year, who have lectured and circu
I ited the publications ol the Society, and thus endeavored
lo produce an excitement on the subject of slavery, and
create picjudire against the Colonization Society. The
letters and icports of these agents, published in the Llbe
rator, are calculated lo give an impression that they meet
witli great success, in converting men to their sentiments,
although their success in collecting funds lias been “ex
tremely small.’ It lias been not a little amusing to trace
tire progress of these efforts indifferent parts of'New Eng
land. in one Slate, if has been common to hear persons
interested, talk of llie success of the cause in the other
Slates. It is difficult to find a place where the measures
ol the Aim-Slavery Society are approved by any conside
rable portion of (he people, but there are many places
where report says that in other parts of the count.y the
cause is going on nobly. 1
1 he truth i-, that very Irwin New England sanction
these measures, when -I,. v understand their‘bearing. 1
tiave conversed with the Editors ol more than 160 News
papers and I oriodici.s.Bnd with more than but) t Icrgvmen
ol different denominations, and not more than 0 or 7 ol ei
♦h*r ehnsa npfr-. ..on of the m.'twurae of the
Anti Slavery Society. A pail ol these ol jec. .<> «nm,. fl[
the measures, ai d much ol ifle spiiit ut the c.« ty
mil.-r Sentiments prevail amongst tin- great body «,( , , ,
witl. whom I have conversed on Colonization. Them are
a few persons prepared to go all lengths with Mr. Gar.i
*on, both in his attacks on Slavery, and the Colonization
society ; but the number is small. Will, all the hostility
to Slavery existing in New England, there is no general
disposition to interfere with it rashly. There is a preva
lent conviction that slavery is wrong ; and that it is a curse
to all who feel its influence. It is also believed that slaves
ought to rereive their freedom, as soon as they can witli
benefit to themselves and safely to the country. Some
behove that th?y might he imniedhttely emancipated wi h
salety that there is more danger iu continued slavery,
than in immediate emancipation. Still there is no dmio-i
tion, except among the lew enlisted in the Anti Slave.y So
ci.-ues, to meddle with Ibis subject in such a manner as
southern papers seem to represent. Tlie common feeling <,|
New England i« that of kindness—ol painful anxi.tr for the
salety and happiness ol the southern States, ami earnest de
sire for the union ami prosperity ol iho whole count.y
V iolet.I denunciations of the southern people, or the Colo
nization Society, are not usually listened lo wi.h salLfao.
lion by an intelligent audience. In many place* eon
-ideralde numbers have left tlie bouse during addresses of
Anti Slavery agents, anil ninny who were excited bv the
horrors ol slavery described itr the addresses, and he
came interested so far as to assist in circulating pub
lication*, or giving addresses against tbc Colonization
Society, have re-examined the subject, ami abandoned
the Anti-Slavery measures. In many religious societies
where addresses have been given by the agents of that
society, it would be difficult, it not impossible for then,
to obtain a meeting house or a respectable audience, it
another attempt were made; not because tlie people are
III lavor ol slavery, or opposed lo its peacclu! abo
Iiiioii, or to tlie elevation or tlie coloured people in Ibis
country, but because they believe tbc measures of llie so
ciety unfilled for either of these objects. The common
expression of opinion in relation to llie addresses has hern,
that lliey were fitted to pxcife a bad spirit both in white
and coloured people who adopt their sentiments—a spirit
which vents itself in hard words and unkind actions. More
solicitude is felt in relation to the effect ol these measures
upon the colored people than oponllie whites. The rea
son generally assigned for not aiding the anti-Slavcry So
ciety in creeling a manual labor school, is, that it would
be placing the coloured people connected with it under an
influence injurious to themselves, dangerous to their
brethren at the south, and destructive nl the harmony ol
the nation. Many are now turning their attention to’this
view of the subject, who have not, till recently, been aware
oMIic influence exerting upon the calomed people The
measures pursued by this society are evidently standing in
llio way of a geneial effort, by the friends of humanity
and especially the friends of Colonization in New England
lor the instruction of colored people. There is not a di*’
position to countenance measures which exasperate the
coloiircrl propip, or incrf»*e thf* jettlouiy between them
and the whites, or between the different seclions of the
country, nor will there be, unless the people of New Etv»
snd shall be goaded on lo do it by imprudent measures of
the southern people themselves.
