county papers, the citizens ssemoled at the
court house in this place on Wednesday, the
21st instant, when T.. &. Magruder was called
70 the CHAIR, and resolutions were adopted thai
the people of Prince Georges county are
deeply interested in the early and efficient
completion OF the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road, and In view of the great benefits to result
10 them by the construction of said road, they
would regard any opposition to the cOnstruc-
non OF the same, not founded on the highest
principles OF self-pr election, as unjust. incon.
slderate and improper; that the charter con-
ters on the said company the prerogauve right
OF CONCERNING lands which they may want for
the purpose of locating the lines Of said road
ana allnougn occasionally the right Of way
SAID company to proceed to execute their priv
lieged franchise, in such way as may
promote their own rights, and at the
same time not unnecessarily impair the
rights OF the adjacent landowners; that
Upper Marlboro, being one of the main
stations OF the road, and II being essential that
Depot accessible from all points, should be
located "withln the limits Of one mile" OF said
town, we are in favor Of the said depot beng
situated In said town, or TO the west Of it, con
yenient and easy of approach under all cir
cumstances and ~ all times: that this Con VEN
