The following is Mr.. Snyders J,
Resolution for Miners State Cony
ton. We do not see but that is is
BILE to oil the objections we stated in,
last:
PREAMBLE.-Whsrsas, il has beco
necessary that some stable organizat
should be made in the various mini
counties Of this State, not only for
general benefit and welfare Of the
ners, but for the community at lare
that some definite and settled policy
relation to the mineral lands is desir
by o large body of the miners is app,
ent from the frequent conventions he
in various counties, and from the sen
ments of the miners made manifest
various occasions; that the time has a
rived for the miners to take some aoti
relative to the matter.
Resolved, By the Senate and Assem-
bly,, that q Convention of miners be bel

day Of April, 1858.

that such q result would prove detri-
mental to Southern interests. Itargues
that the value of that island to the Uni
ted States depends on the products Of
slave laoor--that the preponderating in
Huence Of the United States is anti
slavery, and would be exerted for the
destruction of that institution that
in the end, Cuba would be reduced to
the social and industrial condition Of St.
Domingo.
