that the Road will be built, and that very soon

that soon will be made public, propositions were

MIsSIsslPPI.--The Governor of Mississippi,
Melville, in his annual message to the Legislature,
advises that provision be made for holding Con-
venton of the people of that State in case of the
election of black republican President in 1860,
for the purpose of adopting such measures as may
meet the exigency of the occasion. He recon-
mends that, in the event mentioned, the Conven-
ton be held at Jackson on the first Monday Of Dec.
1860 and that other southern States be invited to
send delegates and cooperate.
The plan is good one and we hope the whole
South will cooperate and approve it.
