far he has fully sustained his high reputation

Indications are daily multiplying that cer.

We shall see. "
In the Senate, Mr. Washington th distin
guished Senator from Craven, who was enti
tled to the floor, addressed the Senate tit much
length, in support of Mr. Woodfin's resolutions.
He began by expressing his gratificatiofi at
hearing the patriotic and noble sentiments ut.
tered by the Senator from Buncombe, Mr.
Woodfin, arrd he desired as an Eastern rhan,
to respond to such sentiments. He warmly: and
eloquently urged their adoption, as the means
of rescuing North Carolina from her present
deptessed condition, and elevating hef toj the
position she is entitled 19 assume among her
sister Stales dwelt ut large upon the many
advantages she possessed in agricultural, min
eral and commercial wealth and said, ; she
only wanted these resources lo he developed,
lo place: her in the: front rank of the Atlantic
Stales. Th connexion of Beaufort vii h ihe
Western cpnfines jof the State, by means of the
Central Bail Road, would effect all these oh.
jects, and nothing short of that improvement
could bring about results so desirable.
Mr. W. drew a-graphic picture of the State
as it is, and what it might be, if the proposed
improvement wirre completed, fie said that
Resolved, That the Executive Committee be
directed to prepare and publish an address to
the people of North Carolina, setting forth the
objects of this Association, and asking the co

ests.
The' Hon. John M. Moiehead, of Guilford,
was unanimously elected President ofthe Asso

Resolved, That the Executive Committee of
the Industrial Association of N. C. present a
memorial to the Legislature, now in Session,
selling forth and showing ihe importance to the
welfare of the Slate, of Geological, Mineralo.
gical and Agricultural Survey.
No further business arising before the Con
vention, and after some highly practical and
sensible remark from Mr Makepeace, of
Randolph, a resolution was adopted requesting
the Editors of the several Newspapers, in N,
Carolina, to publish the pr6ceedings of this
Convention ; whereupon
The Convention adjourned to meet again in
this city, on Wednesday, Oct. 1st, 1851.
Ly which we shall be governed
In politics we will be decidedly Whi, and shall en-
deavor with all our ability, to sustain the cause of this
I great Republican Parsty, consequently we will" give the
I present administration our hearty support. We will at
1 all times, however, reserve to ourse-lves the privilege of
I condemning whatever we may think wrong, either in
j friend or foes. While, we shall use all honorable efforts
to advance the interests and defend t lie conservative
principles of our Parly, we' will practice a system of
courtesy, towards our opponents, so long as they conduct
j themselves in such a way as to deserve it.
! " Perhaps it is useless to say we are true Southrons,'
I though we consider the Compromise, effected by the last
Congress on tht Slavery question, as a great and patri
otic measure, well deserving the approbation of all par
ties who desire the peace and happiness of their country.
But while we are in favor of the late Compromise, we
deny the charge made against us of being 'submission
ists,' and will t;ik.e occasion to hurl it back upon it? au
thors let them 'commend the poison challice to their
own lips,' we'll none of it.;
We will endeavor to make the 'Mercury' interesting
to all but particular attention will be made to the de
partments of Mining and Agriculture.
The size of the paper has not yet been determined on.
If about the same as the 'Lincoln Courier' the price will
be 1 50 per annum: if the size of the 'Salisbury

in the Deed of Trust law has been reported against by
the Judiciary Committee more on account of the diffi
