theI9th ultimo, the Hon. Elisha NJ. Hun
tington was called tothe Chair. and Joseph
0. Jones, appointed Secretary. The Chair
man briefly stated the object of the meeting
and was followed by R. w. Thompson Esq,
who expatiated more fully upon the same
subject, setting forth in an understandable
manner, the vast importance Of this work,
not only to the citizens of Vigo, and the in
habitants of other counties situated on the
line of the Canal, but to the people of the
whole State; furnishing as it would when
completed, about the only means we could
confidently rely on for the liquidation of our
public debt, and the redemption of our good
name; objects of paramount importance to
all true Indianians. Mr.. Thompson, then
submitted the following preamble and reso-
%lutions.
Whereas, the Congress of the United
States. having granted to the State ofIndiana,
about one half of the unsold land in the Vim
cennes Land District, to aid in the compile
ton of the Walsh and Erie Canal, from Ter
re Haute to the Ohio River, and it being Of
the highest importance to the people of the
'ehole State, that all unnecessary delay in
the prosecution of that great work should BE-
avoided, and that concert and harmony fac
ton should be induced amongst those who
appreciate its importance; therefore.
ReSolDed, That it is deemed expedient
by this meeting, that a Convention TO be COM
posed of delegates from the several counties,
throughout the Valley of The Wabash, and
such other counties of the State as NAV u
mite with them, be held. to take into consid-
Grafton and digest some plan of operation for
the early completion Of The Canal 10 the O.
hio River; and that if it shall hereafter be
deemed necessary to hold said Convention
at any other point, we will cheerfulv ac-
quiesce in any selection that NAV be made.
ReS0lUed, That if it is concluded as has
been suggested, to hold said Convention in
Terre-Haute on Thursday the 22nd day of
May next, then VIZ respond to the sugges-
ton; and hereby tender to the delegates in
attendance, the hospitality of our town and
county.
ResoIDed, That a Committee of five be
appointed by the chair, to reportto the meet
ing, the names of twenty FIVE delegates TO
said Convention; two of whom a%tleasl, shall

number Of acres of land, supposed TO be at
least eight hundred thousand acres, for the
purpose of completing the Wabash and Ohio
Canal between Terre-Eiaute and Evansville,
IN this Slate; and whereas it is thought to
be right and proper that some action should

been held at Evansville in this State, upon
The subject, and in the proceedings of said

ton should be held at some suitable place be-
