ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

This convention was called for a single
and definite purpose-to concentrate and
declare public opinion as to the right and
duty Of the general government TO make
a greet national rail road from the Missls-
sippi river to the Pacific Ocean. Sixteen
States were represented in the Conven-
ton. and the Importance OF the great
project alone could have induced SO ma
nv men to travel SO far The object is
worthy all their sacrifices. and we trust
the action Of that meeting will have much
influence in determining the course Of
Congress at its next session. The con-
ven'ion was a national one. aud had for
its object a work Of national if not wide
world importance, and it is TO be hoped
at the spirit of concession and compro-
mise manifested by those assembled at
St. Louis will be maintained in Congress
and clsewhere-that party politics, sec
tional Influences, or personal a9grandize-
ment will not retard the contamination OF
the great work. 1t is above all these. and
there should be but one determination.
and that, the Road must be made.
Ia the discussion of questions present
ed 10 the Convention as the best means
to bring the matter before Congress-the
point for the commencement of the road
the power Of Congress under the con-
stitution to make an appropriation tor a
road within the limits Of State, some
warm and excited feelings were exhibit
ted. 1t could not be expected TO be other
wise. Each delegate was the friend OF
some particular work, east Of the Mssis-
sippi, and each work thus represented
was to be more or less affected by the
point of commencing the work-hence
there was quite as much said about the
roads east, as that proposed to be made
west of the Father Of waters. In these
discussions we were pleased 10 hear those
who addressed the Convention, with but
few exceptions, advocate the construction
of a road straight through the States OF
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Such a road
must and will be made near the line OF
the national road, in which case we are
favorably situated to derive all the great
advantages of such an important thor
oughfare.
The Convention passed resolutions de-
claring it to be the constitutional right
and the duty of the general government
to make this great national road west of
the Mississippi. A committee appointed
to memorabilia Congress, on behalf of the
Convention, asking its early attention TO
the matter, and also to prepare an address
to the people Of the United States upon
the subject. A delegation Of fifty mem
bers of the Convention were appointed 20
attend the meeting at Memphis, which as
semblcd on the oond inst The Conven-
ton then adjourned TO meet in the city Of
Philadelphia on the first Monday in April
next.

Arrival or the President OF the United States.

President Taylor arrived in our city yesterday morning.
having left Washington the early train OF cars. His
arrival was quite unexpected as it was generally sup
posed that he would not leave Washington until this
morning. He was accompanied only by his servant, and
proceeded at once TO Barnums City Hotel, where he will
remain during his soourn Soon after breakfast he WIS.,
tied the exhibition grounds Of the Fair and cattle show
where he spent several hours Whilst there he was
waited upon BY committee Of the members Of the Ma
ryand Institute, and through its chairman, Joshua Van
SAINT esq., invited to visit the Fair of the Institute now
being held at Washington Hall The President, in re-
ply, expressed the warm interest which he felt in all that
related either to the mechanical agricultural interests
OF the country and the pleasure he would take in com
plying with the invitation extended to him. Il was then
arranged that President Taylor should visit the rooms at
Washington Hall at such hour during to day might
be found convenient.
Between the hours Of ten and twelve this morning the
President will receive the visits of the people of Ba
more, at Barnum's Hotel. He will afterwards proceed
TO the cattle show, and subsequently to the Mechanics
Fair, and either this evening tomorrow morning will
return 10 Washington which place is not his intention
at present again to leave until after the close OF the next
session of Congress The health OF President Taylor
we are happy to say appears to be completely estab
shed and he looked better yesterday than at any time
that we have seen him since his Inauguration.
Since the above put in type have learned that
the President will remain in the city until Saturday, and
will visit the fair at Washington Hall on tomorrow and
