10 tho Chai,. and Mr.. ---- Haythc appointed
Secretary.
The chairman returned thanks to the meeting
for the honor conferred. and proceeded to state
at considerable length. the oIcuts for which the
assemblagr had convened. In the course OF his
remarks, Mr. NJ. ulged in some rather ill-tem
pered illusions to the business men of Lynchburg
anta
larly--he was impressed with the notion that the
commission merchants made money more rapidly
than tlcy ought to. and built houses vastly finer
than comportcd with Democratic institutions
He gave the Board of Trade tO understand. that
he had no idea of submitting to their arbitrary
dictation, and threatened in the event of their
persistng in the course indicated, he would send
his tobacco to Richmond, and suffer grass to grow
in the streets of Lynchburg
After Mr.. Nj. had been relieved Of his surplus
bile, Mr.. Thos. w. Johns replied in very
sensible remarks. and showed very conclusivey
that the worthy chairman had ''gone off half
cocked;" in other words had denounced the Board
Of Trade before he had taken tho trouble to
quaint himself with their action.
Mr. VIM. c. Mennis thought the object of the
meeting had not been very clearly defined, and
was not understood by those in attendance he
therefore moved that Committee be appointed to
invite the Board Of Trade send deIntation
from their body to this Convention, for the pur
pose Of explaining tile aims and ends had in view
hy that Association. The Chairman appointed

toa,c @ sales, and tho serious delays and annoy
to which 10th buyers and sellers were sub

sure them that their interests and the interests Of
Lvnchburg were mutual. the business Of
Lynchburg were in no wise dsposcd to cypress
the planting community. and had no desire To
enact laws prejudical to the planting interest

been committed to indulge in denunciaon of the
Bonrd of Trade. the plans If the Board had
vet been natureJ: when those plans were matufed
they would be published, and the planters could
form u more sensible Judgment in the premises.
Mr.. A. Alexander followed, in some remarks of
n similar character. aud at their conclusion sug-
yested that the meeting defer action in the matter
in order that all parties may the better understand,
the questions in dispute.
