THE CHICAGO CoNvENr1oN.-As we antici.
pated, the proceedings of this body have not
given great satisfaction to those who were
chiefly instrumental in calling it together
The jefferson (Mo.) Inquirer says:
90 The convention being composed principal
ly OF men from the Northern and Eastern
States, they recommended more particularly
the improvement of harbors upon Lakes, and
leave the great water of the Mississippi, as
we would infer, to be improved by the enter
prising people of the west, and sneakingly
beg the General Government TO assist them in
establishing harbors upon their lakes and fish
ponds

DEAR SIR: have just returned from We'll
don, N. C, in company with -, where we
had personal conference with Messrs Hen
shaw & Co., of Boston, the gentlemen who
have purchased the Portsmouth and Roanoke
Rail Road. Raleigh and Fayetteville were
both represented. A report is in circulation
here, the substance of which is, that Boston
capitalists have taken, or proposed to take, a
large amount of Stock in the Metropolitan
Rail Road; such report, we learn, is in cir
culatlon In your State, very much TO the inju-
~ OF our cause, is filling our friends with
doubt, as to which Road will be built. This
report does not say what capitalists we are,
therefore, left to infer that it is the same COM
pany who purchased the Portsmouth and
Roanoke Road, (Henshaw, Ward Coz. AS
the report was, no doubt, put in circulation
tor the injury of our Road, and advancement
of the other, have thought proper to put
that you may be enabled to counteract any
evil effects that may grow out. of such a re-
port.
These gentlemen have purchased the Ports
mouth and Roanoke Rail Road, and are now
preparing to put it in first rate order; they
have made arrangements to have new and
OPlOHul0 11HC vi DOtiS vi TIE chesapeake, 10
run In connexion with their road and ours
They have subscribed 1920 shares of stock "a
bare majority in the Road from Weldon to
Castor, Q3 miles long, to connect with Raj
eigh their object in this, is to draw travel and
freight over their Road from Raleigh, and its
ighborhood If they have ever entertained
the idea of taking Stock in the Metropolitan
Road they have never expressed it; in fact
from all | could gather, they look upon that
project as impractcable, for long time to
come. at least; nor do they conceal the knowl-
edge of the fact, that their interest and our in
terest is identified. They speak of our project
for Road to Manchester, as being not only
highly practicable, but must be gerry profta-
bic; the only wonder is, that there should be
any difficulty in getting the Stock subscribed.
With these opinions before us, from such a
source, why should we hesitate why faIter
we have an open field, before us the way is
certainly clear, and if we will but put our
shoulders nobly to the wheel, regardless OF
the sneers, ISLANDERS and humbuggery of Our
enemies, my life upon it, the contracts may
be put out on the first of October
am. very rpSDpctfully &c

sure in saving that he has invariably found it ben

The ELEcTIoN.-To-day the people of No
Carolina have again cast their suffrages for
representatives to Congress. We do not ex-
pect much for the democracy of this State
The last Legislature being federal to the core,
they Roynerma ndered the State to suit their
own purposes. If we elect three members
out of the nine, we will have done well-equal-
ly as we'll as the best friend of democracy
could have any idea of. If Mr.. Biggs or Mr.
Lane should happen to be elected, we shall
have accomplished much more than we could
possibly expect, under the present disarrange-
ment of the districts. What the result will
be, we must wait with patience to hear. AS
we are going to press, the freemen are casting
their su1rages at the Court House in this
town, In the morning we shall issue a slip
giving the result of the vote at this precinct,
and such others in this county as we may be in
possession ofeprevious to the mails of the day
leaving this place. In our next number we
hope to be able to give something like correct
statement Of Gen. McKay's majority in this
district.
