| a NATIONAL CoNvGNTIoN.-Th'
call for a national convention, to b'
held at St. Louis this fall, in refer
ence to the construction of Rail
road from some point on the Missis
sippi river TO another on the shore
of the Pacific, has long since gone
the rounds in the papers, all ofwhicl
appear to regard the step lavorably
We notice in the st. Louis papers al
address, signed by large number
of highly influential men fthat city
and other places, to the people ol
the United States, urging upon them
to send delegates from every quarter
of the Union, so that full express
sion of opinion, as to the locality of
the starting and terminating points
Of this great national thoroughfare,
may be had. The necessity and the
Importance of this road are universal
ly admitted, and single glance at
the project reveals to the view the
incalculable benefits that would re-
suit from it to our country. 1t is
important then, in order to facilitate
this glorious enterprise, that there
should be unanimity in the minds of
the people of different sections in re-
ference to those points. Atpresent
there exists great diversity of o.
pinion on this subject: every city
from Galcna to New Orleans, claims
a superiority over all the rest, as a
starting point for this great railroad,
and it is evident that until all agree
upon enc place, nothing definite can
be done this convention is intend
ed to harmonic these differences of
opinion, settle on definite starting
and terminating points, and to draw
up memorial to the next congress.
The time appointed for the holding
the convention is the third Monday
in October next. Let Illinois be
wellrepresented ; she is deeply inter-
ested in the matter, and should not
be caught slumbering.
