Resolvki 1st. That this convention adopt as an entirety the resolutions a d fiuditigs of the convention of Nor thf m boru residents of the south held at Charlotte, li. C, Jan'y 15, 1879, with this addition, viz. That so far as North Carolina is concerned, we would sugrftst to all persona who come to thia State looking for lands aud homes to critically enquire as to the texture, quality aud productive powera of syils and the healthfulness of the particular location their fancy leads them toward. We suggest this because in some local ities lands are poor aud heretofore im portions have been practiced. 2ud. That the Railway lines iunv ring hi to our State be respectfully re quested to consider the means employ ed by the R til ways leading to the Great West aud apply to our state thi aame metuou to inuuee a n.ui uiui Immigration of people and propeity t; our Stae and to this end we appoint a committee of six to correspond with the proper uthorities with a view to carry ing out the spirit and purp -si of this movement tward Immigration. 3rd. We congratulate the peopla of the Sta'e that the state debt, through its legislature now in session, has ben satisfactorily and amicably arranged. We feel that this new order ot things will bring about a new era 01 state prosperity that will work to the iatrrn eets ot tbe State and an concerneo. 4th.. We thank the pres of the State for their many tokns of kindness and the earnestness with whic i they have favored us with their many marks ef appreciation. 5th. W e also thank: tue managers 01 our rail roads for issuing to us hah' fare tickets and trust thac they vtill contin ue to app-eciate our efforts to infill- ene.e immigtatloa to our aaop ea state also. 6th. This convention rejpctfully suggest that the native North Carolin es hold a conveutioa ac suca time and place as they may deem best to take luto consideration tnis suojct ot immigiati in.

All of this was done at au expense of less than t ree thousand dollars, ai;d among the expenditures was a aum of not less than five hundred ddaisiu permanent structures and hatch ng and distributing apparatus. tools &a , now silaries. This on hand, im-luding ali sum when compared with results will bear favorable com parison with &imilar work done any where ou the globa. To co .vey au i ina of the immense returns iu.fish cuhure, I will make a s'atemtnt which my surprise you. California Salmon it-tH.ii au average weight of 20 pounds, au J soil 1 e idily at twenty-rive cents a p und. If we suppose that ninety nine per cent, of the three hundred thousand hatched this season are never heard from and thu fie one per cent, which do return attain the average weight of other waters aud bing a pnce'of five cents a pound, the Salmon of the p ist s?as on alone will more than pay the expense of the whole season, including the Shad, Lind-locked Sal nrni and Trout. The immense losses -n the ttct;s and fry of fii'i sterns to havtj .1 een a great foresight of nature iu giv i;g to them the greatest oca bearing powers of any of the vertebra e animals. On examination of the nests of the California Salmon it is found that only eight per ceut of the egg are impregnated. By the artificial meihod of impregnation we secure ninety to nin-ty-iiv per cent ! Continuing, ha says few real'z j tin value of lish, but a moment's reflection will show that they cost nothing, and that by rt p'ac:U4 them iu the waters by aiding their imperfect efforts we restore to our laud at a uoninal co t its miilious of wealth that our streams an nually bear away to the ocean. Who knows the value of the constituents of our gliding rivers, and by woat means can we leolaim them? By thejudi oi ius expenditure of a few thousand dollars annually we can attain this re suit It" our people look this year for any return from what has been done.' they muit remember that the patient farmer sows his seed and waits till they have had time to develops and ma ture. No shad return in one year, and ind; ed 1.0 roe shad ever returned to freh wat-r uli the third year. Twenty-seven States are now active ly engaged in restocking their waters, ard I am glad to say that with limited means we have ma ie a very decided beginning in North Carolina in two shoi t years. With the finest shad tish in grounds in tha world, and many se eluded mountain streams yet full of trout we are fully capable of supplying every county iu the State with as many fish as the people can consume. Iu iew of the lajt that tho shad caught in our waters sell iu northern markets before the run of fish has extended in to their treams, and since our sales there bring double the price of theirs by supp'ymg the early demand, it is very plain tobe seen that iu restocking our sounds and rivers to ten times their present capacity, we can supply every demand at home and bring into our State ; thousands of dollars from abroad.

A1 Tax-payer's Letter lottc dbeuiocrat. to Char. The following extract is made from this valuable letter. It is proposed by 10ms to show that the expenses of the State Government have beenj decreased, by 00m paring the expense, of 1869 with the expenses of 1878. "' This is' certainly going a long ways for a little comfort, just niue years ba.ck to find any improvement This m what f saiJ: 44That the Demo icrati'e platform, two year since was re trenchmeut and reform; that., on that platform the Democratic, party went into power.' That the Democratic of- ucenoioers pocketed the sime salariea pokated Ly the Radical office-holders. That the expjns.s in nearly all the branches of tha State Gov.rameat had been increased insteid of decroasad That tha people paid the 'same ' tixes under Democratic ruU as under Ridi cal rule," Is it meeting this state ment fairly to array figures of extrava gancj nine years since? The Dmr.- craf c Piat orni two years sinca was Retrenchment aud Rforoa." If die platform meant anything it' meant, to retrench and reform excravagaaoa then existiug, not what existed "nine years ago. It surely did mt - meau to retrench what, h id already baen re trenched, and to reform Iha reformed. Tt is admitted that the charges pre ferred against the Democrat! adm nis tratiou (not against, the party, please dou't coufonud the terras) are striking and are well calculated to arouse the people. They were nt idly made neither were they made until after ex amination. 1 hese charges are of Buoh , a serious nature it is admitted that unless they are proven by the figures prefcen ed Lelow tht the writer has im po;,ed upon you, deceived the public and slandered tho great Democratic pirty. If though, the fajts are by the figure proven to be true, th writer in bringing t hem to light, aud you in publishing them, have but aited the pait of a lauhful neutinel updn the waichtower, poiutiug out, wiiilst the Democratic smp is still manned by Democrats, the rock and shoals up on which the ship w8 about to ba wrecked and with it the last hope of the ptople for good government.
