On taking the chair Mr. Calhoun made
short address, from which some idea
may be gained of the object of the Con
vention. He commenced by referring
TO the vast resources of the South
and West and stated tina! the devel-
opment of these resources constituted
the Legitimate purpose Of the Convention.
He advocated the railroad system as the
best method of developing these resources.
He thought, however, that Cong ress had
no power to aid them, except incidentally,
by granting strips OF land on which 10 con-
struct railroads. He thought Congress
ought to relinquish the public lands to the
States in whose boundaries they lay, the
States paying 663 per centum on the
amount OF sales.
He also recommended, in this connex-
ion, the policy of Ievying and retaining
the low lands of the Mississippi Valley :
the system 10 be commenced cautiously,
and to be persevered in, as experience
should demonstrate its utility. The fund
that would be derived from the sale Of
public lands by the States, if Tor when
the jurisdiction over them should be re.
linquished by the Federal Government
would be an ample one for this purpose.
He also approved OF a connection Of the
Vallies of the Mississippi and the ST.
Lawrence, by way of the Lakes. This
was clearly within the power Of the Fed
eral Government, as chain in its system
of detences, and should be perfected.
He then proceeded to discussion o
clearing the Mississippi and its tributaries
Of all distractions to its navigation. III

why many Of them will drag through

CAsTLEToN, Nov. 30, l845.
Mr. J. Holcomb-Sir: The Rutland
County Temperance Society held meet
ing in this place last Wednesday. The
number in attendance was not large, but
we had very spirited, interesting, aud as
| hope, profitable meeting. The doings
were to be forwarded TO You for publica-
ton. The Society resolved to call a con-
veution of the Freemen OF the County, ia
vorable to the cause Of Temperance, TO
be holden at this place on the 10 h day Of
Decerb Der next, ut 10 o'clock, forenoon,
TO nominate candidates for County Com
mssioners at the approaching election.
The election is near at hand and we have
yet much to do.
The counly has suffered tremendously
during the pas, year, from the unfortunate
result of the last election. II probably is
not realized so much 10 those towns where
they have always been in the habitual
practice of free use OF alcoholic drinks,
hut in towns where the sale had for
some years been prohibited, ard where the
fruits Of temperance had been 10 some ex.
tent enjoyed, TO have the flood gales oil
incompetence again opened upon us, we
feel it, and we realize the wide spread mis-
chief growing out of it. Within short
time, we have had two deaths by deliri'
um tremens, and another victim is now
suffering from the same cause. Sill the
uumber of drunkards in our place is moi
large, but the disease is very malignant
have no doubt but many other towns in
the county have suffered as much as we
have, and could The statistics OF the county
on this subject, he faithfully collected, we
should undoubtedly be astonished at the
result. z.
