This body closed its labors and ad;ournc,: this
evening Al one o'clock. We give in our col
nmns the proceeding, in as full a shape as they
can Be made out in the hurry Of the moment. hop
ing TO add hereafter any thing tina: we may have
Inadvertently omitted.
The short time intervening between the ad-
joarnmcnt Of the Convention and the time when
our paper goes to press, does not allow COM
ment At any length on its proceedings. They
win 60 forth, however. to express to the world,
the sentiments Of the people Of this great interior
valley Is to the propricty, the Importance and the
necessity Of the execution by the Congress of the
United States, Of the great work which called the

sthcrs ready 70 blow the bellows" There were
Speakers Of every variety Of talents, and many
excellent speeches were delivered. Where there
were 50 many altogether worthy Of the Conven-

vidious In US to single oat any one speaker as
particularly worthy Of praise. They oil hard

resolution to adjourn to meet again at st Louis in
ono year from this time, where it will again take
into consideration the subject Of the Improvement
Of the Mississippi from its source 10 its mouth.
II is important that this subject should never
be suffered to rest until we obtain from Congress
al that We ask until our just rights are &C know-
deged and placed upou such footing that We
may not fear that any slight impedimentwil pre-
vent the accomplishment Of Our hopes.
The Convention throughout its whole proceed
ings was characterized BY the utmost harmony
aud unanimity. The number Of delegates in at
tendance, before the adjournment, amounted to
more than three hundred. OF these, represent

interests from the Falls Of st Antheny to St
