RAIL ROAD CONVENTION.

II is with no ordinary feelings Of pride
and satisfaction that We would advert to
the proceedings, doings, and sayings of the
Convention, which met here on Tuesday
last. IL public opinion ever has Jagged
in an immodefaie degree on this subject
Nc are sure It must now rally. The i'm.
portrait facts which were exhibited at the
Convention, With the soul stirring and pat.
r,otic appeals TO North Carolnlaus TO do
their duty, we're not idle words, and the
future alone can tell where The influences
then Sc, TO work may cease 10 act.
The Convention was pretty well atlen.
ded Delegates from the North and South,
E,st and West, poured IN on Monday and
the hes, Of i. was they all appeared to feel
the Importance Of the project in conlempla.
iiou and TO be aclua,ed by a determined
zeal for its final accomplishment. While
here, they so spoke and acted and we
venture to say that a similar. Convention
has rarely met in North Carolina, marked
with the same kind feeling and unity OF
sentiment, aud separated in better humor
With itself than did this.
The official proceedings show the names
Of the Delegates IN attendance, aud also
formally mcn,ion the names of those who
addressed the Convention. Would that
our pen was capable OF sketching the Sptr,
il. or even relating the pords of some OF
them. Blu, we shall Iarbear an attempt al
either. We could no, do any thing like
Justice TO any Of them, and without the
Ieas, dlsparagemcn, to any, We would ask
the question how could such speech a,
tina, Of w. P. Tuns,all be prin ed Car
spirit be printed, or can you copy the cleo
trio spark. Nay, this, and several othe
Efforts made on the occasion, can neveI
be enjoyed or priced beyond the circle o
those who heard them, and as they were
pregnant with the most vitality importan
interes, to us in this region, so shall they
be remembered, and the sentiments the,
inspired will continue to spring up, AM
will doubtless eventuate in great good Il
tho old North State.
As to the prac,icabili'y Of raising tn
money for che proposed Road, in was uni
versally believed by the Convention lha
there was bu, little doubt. Ia fact, ihi
Link as it 10 called is certain TO b
