short address, the object of the meeting and Of the
proposed Convention submitted the following Res
oiuhons, which being separately read, snd the
questions taken on each, were unanimously adop-
ted
/. RsSolee&, That the system of farortism and
prescription which has 80 sgnaliy marked the adj
ministration of Gen. Jackson, is in open violation
of the freedom of our republican Institutions and
deeply injurious TO the neral character of the pso-
pie.
3. Resolced, That tho freedom Of speech and Of
opinion 10 indspensably necessary 70 tho prcserTa-
ton and maintenance Of our happy form of gov
eminent, and that the policy of Sen. Jackson by
his scheme ''of rewards and punshm ents' to surb
the one and silence the oihor, deserves and oAght
to receive the utter rsprobaton of the American
people.
3. Realised, That the affairs Of The General
Government should DO exclusively administered
with regard to the welfare and happiness OF the
people and 20 the advancement of the national
honour and Interest; yet the present administrations
disregaTding these v:ise and salutnry principles,
has anEiouS!y sought to prolong it's continuance III
power, by using the patronage of Office TO sustain
ianguishing popularity.
O. NeSOtJe1, lhUt the pT0tcssi00s OF General
Andrew Jackson while candidate for the Presi-
dency were such secured to him the confidence
Of portion Of the republican party, but having
gained hat elevated station, his practice, oppo-
scd to all his solemn prg(sssions, entities him TO the
stern censnre and inst condemnation Of all candid
and unprejudiccd minds.
s. Resoirsd, That ''tho removal Of no public
officer should be effected to create vacancy to
crafty the nmot on Of Il favorite parlizun." When
this shall come to pass, 'the patriot W II have
pie 10 tremblc for the honour Of his country,
and tho pcrPotuty Of her republican institutions"
(EETact JrOm Gen. Jacbs5h's letter 20 VIZ. HoHroe)
G. Reseiesd, That Gen. Jackson's want oftoci,
talents, and temper, hs gross Inconsistency the
subject Of internal improvement and The tu.if, his
subsection 70 sc maigu influence" and in fine, his
palpa5le and notorious incompeteucy, so glaringly
manifested, far his acts and measures have
come to light, utterly disqualiy him. in every point
Of view, FOR the Chief Msgstracy If great ma
ton.
7, Res5loed, That the sinister attempt Of Gen.
Jackson, President Of tho United States 10 impeach
the well earned fame and character Of chat distin-
guishcd statesman and patriot, John c. Calhoun,
the Vice-PresIdent, showed lurking hostility and
Jealousy unworthy tive head Of thg American Re
public.

thousand mon, has been compelled to seek for an
asylum in Prussia That wrotched Prussia where
by this time heis dlsnrmed & sent from the frontiers
into the interior ofthe kingdom. Paskewitsch, re-

crossed the Vistula at PIocit, and is MARCHING
against Warsaw with $4,000 men; and the General
Skrzyncck has passed the Narew, and Warsaw is
to be defended 1t is come tu this! Month after
month has rolled on; Europe has had time to nero
clute, to arm, aud to Interfere: but she has satisfied
herself with signs and braves, and with empty
hopes and shallow promises Bot if Poland shall
become indeed a victim, and Warsaw shall no re-
duced to asheE, the public Indignation of France
VIII be eYlnccd by more than words or petitions:
and if the Government will not then march with
the people, tho people will march without the Gov

be looked for not with hope, but horror; and popu

the construction of the rail way passing through
the ncighborhood of the lead mines would tend We
ry much to encourage the Manufacture of this
metal, and that its transmission along the road
would also be source of much profit
From the foregoing data; and from careful en-
quiry into the amount of the tonnage OF ncrclian-
die imported into, and of tho tonnage Of exports
from the eight Southwestern counties of Virginia
and the twenty two-countes of Fast Tennessee,
your committee are brought to tho result that
during the first year after tho construction of the
rail road, the tonnage of imports would amount
to 1897, and of expo is to 60 352, making an ag-
greglto of 6T,6H. Estimating the ABOVE amount
of imports to be conveyed along the whole road
from Knoxville to New River 1926 tons for G
cents per ton per mile, and the amount of trans
portation would be S97, 19l, 00
