Mr. Speaker. I believe it is susceptible of
demonstration, that as a mere matterol
dollars and cents. Philadelphia'ou'ghtto
construct these roads. Her capitalists
and } property-holders would ,be amply
compensated in the increase of-‘busincss
.which it would bring to her merchants,

Sli‘e has‘too tnu’ch' atjatake in it. to admit

pass'through the heart at our own com

vantages ov’e} all her commercial competi

to allow these advantages to be lost for
want at improvement. or to permit them
to be more than neutralized by the ambi
tion and enterprise of surrounding States.
Inactivity will not do for her. She must
not depend‘upon he'r competitors to build
rail roads, to bring Western merchants and
western produce to her markets. The ail

‘You will perceiveby these facts? Mr.

All this goes to prove that railroads will
increase in business; and value. in this
country in the same ratio that the "popula
tion become dense. The land rights and
privileges for a railway in this country
are now obtained. at a mere nominal val-
ue. The day will come. when thew
