Your committee are aware that po,..a.

failure of those mostimmediateIy infers-,.i

where Railroads have been CONSTRUCTED -
the greatest facility and rapidity, the ro,t

ding interest and solicitude in the propre,
and speedy completion Of the Mobile and

yorsble consideration of the people Of those

/ 2 ResotUed, That we consider the com.
Ipletion of the same, in connecting. us with
the Gulf of Mexico on the South, and with
that network of Railroad and river communi.
cation in the Northern States, as opening IN
for US advantages, national, commercial, and
social which will be felt not only BY the pres
ent, but by future generations.
g. ResolUed, Thatin view Of these adran-
tages and blessings, we viii lend our aid, to
the extent of our ability, and use our inau-
ence, in procuring immediate subscriptions
for stock, sufficiently extensive to complete
the work in the shortest possible space Of
time, so that We may at once begin torealise
its benefits.
f. ResoEced, 1 hat our Senators and Rep
resentatives in the next Legislature be Te-
quested to use their influence to induce the
State of Mississippi, to take active measures
in promoting the enterprise; and Q this end,
they procure the enactment of such laws as
will place the lands donated BY Congress for
this purpose, at the disposal of the Company,
under such guarantees as viii insare its use
for that purpose, and that alone and that
the various donations heretofore made by
Congress, to this State for Public improve
ments, be equallyappropriated toyaricus per
tons ef the State, for establishing system
tof Internal Improvements, by constructing
railways and leyees throughout the State;
j and that they induce the State to subscribe
llberaliy, for stock III the same.
