To C. e. Danlold, President ~ J. Zine Co.. ~. y
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manuiaciuredby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks, al
Washington and shall send with il complete Sc
res of specimens Of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season. in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

on Tuesday The 2ist uliimo, and adjourned on
"Wednesday ensuing-hasing completed, In .
spirit Of harmony and Cancellation, the business
for which the delegates assembled.
Fony.,wo Counties were represented by ono
hundred and ei;h,y-iour delegates; which, CEN
sidering the inclemenry Of the weather and tho
slate Of the roads indicates an interest IN the sue
cess Of Wing principles that will ensure glo,i-
Gus triumph in August.
The crowded slate Of our columns makes il
necessary for us to omit the list Of delegates and
to ahrilee other portions Of the proceedings.
The Convention was organized by the election
Of The following oiiirer:
Hon. Richard 5. DonnelI. Of Beaufort county.
President.
III. u. Elliott, Randolph,

Daniel J.. Russell. Brunswick, Presidents.

John y. LYMAN. Buncombe.
The President, on being conducted 10 the
Chair, addressed the Convention in few sir.
ring renarIs, invoking the members 10 harmo-
NOUS discharge Of their duty.
On Wednesday morning. SIR. Cherry, from
the committee 10 whom was referred the duty Of
preparing subject matter for the action Of the
Convention, submitted the following resolutions
for its consideration:
l. Resolced, That we cherish a cor
dial and immo,able attachment to the
Constitution and Union Of the States.
and it is our determination to resist
every attempt to ALLEVIATE one portion
OF our country from the rest, and To
eniceble the sacred ties which link to-
geihcr its various parts.
2. Resoiued, That we disapprove the
Legislation Of Congress by which the
Public Landslide common property
OF all the States-are 80 often apprn-
prated for the sole and exclusive be-
neiit Of the new States. and we insist,
and shall continue to insist, that the
State Of North Carolina should receive
her equal and just share of the same,
for purposes OF Education aud Internal
Improvement within the State.
i 5. Rrsoired, That we reaffirm the
resolution Of the last Wing Convention
on the Compromise measures Of 1850,
which declares them final settlement,
| in principle and in substance, Of the
dangerous and exciting subjects to
which they relate. and that we are in
favor of the doctrine of non oterven-
ton BY Congress on the subject Of sla.
very within the territories Of the Unit
ed States, now held or hereafter to be
acquired.
i 4. Resolred. That we most decided.
" condemn the action Of the President
and his Cabinet in their recent inter-
ference in the local elections Of soyc.
reign States, and regard their conduct
as alike calculated to detract from the
dignity Of their station and subversiye
OF the dearest rights Of free people.
| 5. Resoicsd, That the conduct oil the
present administration in the appoint.
ment Of. Free Soilers0 to Office. is an
unjustifiabic insult to the southern por-
ton of the Union. aud IN violation Of
the pledges upon which the party went
y into power.
