COHaptltf nave iiO pOhCE over the
emigration. They control themselves, and
act for themselves, and only come here un-
der the auspices of the company, for the
reason that they hold out to them superior
inducements. There are great many who
won't come under the auspices of the COM
pany, who will come, however, IN conse-
quence of this enterprise. They come be.
cause they know they will have the advan-
tages of being near schools and meeting
houses, which they appreciate quite as
highly as fertile lands. Without certain
knowledge that they would have an oppor-
tunity Of educating their children, they
could not be induced to come.
The reason this section has not been i'm
poroyed is because it has been overlooked.
The atteItion of eastern men has been di-
rected to the Great West, and there is more
known now about Kanzas, Nebraska and
Utah than Western Virginia, while the lat
ter possesses many advantages over the
former Here it is healthy, while there they
shiver with chills and burn with fever; here
the agricultural, the mineral and timber re-
gions are in close proximity, while there it
is not the case. And there is no reason why
a great commercial and manufacturing city
may not be built up somewhere in the mag
nifcent valley between this and the Mouth
of Sandy. 1t is In the great southern
bend of the Ohio-a central point, accessi-
BILE to the fertile valleys and rich mineral re-
gion of the Kanawha, Guyandotte, Twelve
pole and Sandy; also contiguous to Ken
lucky and Tennessee, where eastern capital
lists and operatives have been invited and
will probably go.
A large city at this point is likely to be
built up only by this or similar enterprise.
Those employed in eastern workshops and
manufactures have not the means, without
aid, to come here and erect manufactures.
As general thing they have enough to
bring them here and build comfortable
cottage. Let the company build manufac-
tories and put in them power to propel any
machinery desired for manufacturing furni-
ture, agricultural implements, &C., and al
low FIVE thousand mechanics TO 90 to work,
using the power of the company free OF
charge, keeping up their own fires, &c
This would be an inducement that would
bring them here, and furnish a nucleus
around which would soon grow large and
fourishing city; which would soon extend
its influence to the surrounding country,
bringing in dense population, as it would
furnish market and give an impetus to
agriculture.
This influence would extend farther. To
secure the trade of a manufacturing city
and producing country, such as this is ca
pable of becoming, the remaining link OF
one hundred and seyenty-fiye miles, that re-
mains to be completed, in the great railroad
route from KanZas to Norfolk, would soon
be completed. This would be one of the
best things for the interest of Virginia, and
Gov: Wise has wisely advocated, with his
characteristic zeal and energy Its accom-
plishment. On the completion of the Gov
ington and Ohio Railroad, the twenty-four
millions of stock, which Virginia has in
vested in other improvements and which is
now worth ninety-two cents in market,
would Immediately raise to par, as this road
would pour over the other Improvements of
Virginia a tide of trade and travel that
would make them profitable to her as a
stockholder.
You, therefore, see that the object Of this
company is not as has been represented by
some, but purely a business association,
having business object in view and calcu-

our own. 1t is absurd to suppose that we
would come here and bring our wives and
children to get into quarrels and difficulties
steal your slaves-or violate your laws in
any respect. We do not want your slaves
we can do better without them We ike
engine-power better than negro power, be-
cause that kind of servants don't run off,
don't sulk nor tire-it will work night and
day without murmuring, requires no food,
and costs less-yet, if you should prefer
negro power we have no right to and never
viii Interfere with your right to employ IT.
There are two classes of politicians he
never admired those who desired and
those who feared dissolution OF the Union
he did not believe it possible and did not
desire 1t; but if there Is danger of such an
event, this enterprise is more calculated to
diminish than augment that danger; as the
commingling aud INTERVIEWING In the social
and pecuniary relations of the people of the
two sections is calculated TO unite them
more firmly together as one people.
In conclusion, Mr.. Thayer requested that
there should be no local jealousies excited,
in reference to the site that might hereafter
be selected, upon which to commence their
operations and demanded to be informed of
the weak point, if any. in this policy, and
the use of the hue and cry against them
In answer to a question from Rev. J. G..
Reece, as to how the stock of the company
was raised. he replied, as Bank Stock is
usually raised. The charter authorized them
to raise capital stock of from $500, 900 to
$4,000, ,0OO- They met at the Astor House,
n. Y, when the stock was taken in 80 min
