the measures to be thercadopted, will exert
a controlling influence upon the undertak-
ing. In order that these measures should
be conceived in wisdom, and be guided by
4 spirit of conciliaton and narmony-itis is
ofthe last importance, that ample intorma-
ton should be spread before the Convention,
In relation to the resources and character of
the whole country, through which the pro.
posed Road may pass. With these views
the citizens of South Carolina are earnestly
requested to assemble in their respective jd-.
dicial districts, and appoint Delegates to the
Knoxville Convention. The magnitude and
mportance'ofthe proposed work, not only
to our own State, but to Our whole country,
will of course suggest to every patriotic CT.
tizen the high duty of suffering no feelings of
local interests or'sectional jealousics, to find
4 place in the measures to be adopted, in re.
lation to this noble enterprise. Let Delas
gates be selected from among those best in
formed on the subject of the productions,
the cost oflabor and materials, and other
facilities for the construction of the'propos-
ed Road and let them carry with them am.
pie information on all of these points, charg-
ed only by those they represent, to use their
best efforts to promote the grand object, the
success Of which will be an enduring mon-
ument of the wisdom and patriotism of our
people.

Jones county onthe 18th instant,and adopted
the following among other resolutions.

citizens upon such system as Will build
up market within our own State, devclope
our own resources, and secure to ourselves
the advantages which our climate, soil and
seaport towns, are so well calculated to af-
ford.
Resolved, That we believe that the con-
struction of Rail Road from the part of
Beaufort through Trenton, and thence west
ward, would not only promote the prosperi-
ty Of North Carolina by staying the tide of
emigration and increasing the wealth Other
citizens, but in political point of view,
would be the means Of making us conten-
ted, united and happy people, and of giving
to our good old State, u character and STAN
ding co-equal with that other sister States
which her want of Internal Improvements
and consequent dependence, have so long
unfortunately deprived her of.
Resolved, AS the sense Of this Convcn-
ton, that we will use all honorable means to
promote the construction ofthis Rail Road
and in furtherance ofthat object, that Com
rnittee be appointed by theChair to draft aAfe-
mortal to the next General Assembly ofthis
State setting forth the great necessity, utility
and advantages Of this Rail Road, and pray
ing the General Assembly, for an appropri.
alton in money to carry the same into oper-
alton.
Resolved, That our Representatives in
the next General Assembly be instructed to
procure the passage Of an act Of incorpora.
ton for said Rail Road, to present the said
Memorial to the said General Assembly,
and to use all honorable means to obtain an
appropriation as aforesaid.

out the State, be respectfully solicited to CO.
operate with us, in this great and important

lutions be sent to the Chairman Of every
