that he felt highly flatteied BY the compll-
,nent, vel be did not intend 10 make a
speech. He felt q good deal fatsued though
he had not, it was true, been working much,
and he had no doubt that the assemolase
would thank him for his silence; lie con.
Cured, as no doubt all present did, IN what
had been said by the several speakers. The
proposed road all admitted 10 DC dcsidera'

Hon. ANDREW STEWART again rose.-H
made some remaks inreply TO MIR. Nelson's
questions as TO what The Pennsylvania
counties S;would do, and by his humorous
responses ELECTED considerable merrlnens.
The gentleman says, continued Mr.. s., that
he isengaged "heart and hand" IN tho mat
ter. Oh, no! beg leave to correct him.
His ;;heartn is no doubt engaged; but his
p"handni is not, as yet. Blu, we want him TO
put his hand into his pocket, daughter and
then his hand will be engaged in the work.

Mr.. President: Ibid not arise TO make
speech, as the object Of this Convention mas
already been explained, and the necessity Q,
the Monongahela aud Rayenswood railroad
has been clearly set forth nayery able NAH
ner, together with the special advantages
and general benefits that Will result 70 Ne"
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, aud The
Southwestern States, from its construction
by the distinguished gentlemen from West
morlanl and Fayet'e counties, Pennsylvania,
and alsolby the able gentlemen from Monon'
gala, Marion, and Harrison counties, VIZ
ginia; and therefore deem 1t unnecessary
toattempt TO SET forth the merits OF ihls
scheme. But ! arose TO offer lew remark;
inreplyto the inquiries made BY the gentle
man from Marion, MT. Neeson.J He IN
qnired where the money was 10 come
from to build this road, and saul that ils
would like 70 hear what assurance Pennsyl
vania would give, and what laleres, hel
delegates felt in the road, and what jack
son and Mason counties would subscribe
aud what was the general prospect at the
southwestern terminus. Gentlemen, in re-
ply TO part OF these inquiries, think am
correct in saying that the delegates IN lhIs
Convention did not come here authorized
