“ The march of science and the mind of man have opened new lights in the field of domestic improvements. The construction of Railroads is a new era in our history; and the beneficial effects already produced by all the Railroads established, give sufficient guarantee for their extension. ”

“ These Railroads would extend agriculture and manual labour, and send forth the produce of the soil, the loom, and the factory, to the best markets, at a third of the former expence, and by giving cheapness extend consumption, to the benefit of all. ”
