They are whatever, "of opinion that however tame lit' nnht accrue lo soma of the citizens of the Stale, the State, as a whole, cannot with propriety be asked to commit an act so suicidal as to lend her resources to the accomplishment of any work, the direct tendency of which would be to carry any portion ot her product, for a prinitiry maiket, without, before she has done wh;.t is in her power to effect, towards improvement within hci own limits, a.nd before proper exertions have been made to briit every section to bet own markets. 2. Therefore resolved, as the opinion of this Conven tion, that, for the foundation of a new system of Internal Improvements, in this State, the means of the State. aide, oy private su ascription, should be concentrated m the construction of a railway from some Nurlk Caso'.inu seaport town to the interior of the Stnte. 6.

Resolved, as the opinion of this Convention, that ii will be right and expedient that the State should ex tend this first improvement as well by a continuance of said rail way as by the construction of others, and by other modes "of improvement and the profitable resulr of the first work will increase the spirit of enterprise and and the means of the State. ddcll, I. Wad- any specific Internal Imp ment; but feeling the deep importance of the sub ject, and the necessity cf awakening the Public to their true interest, they respectfully recom mend the adoption of the following Resolutions: 1. latah-n!, That the present condition of North-Carolina, is, in the opinion of this Convention, highly dis coui nging and mortifying to her eitizei.s; that her trade is languishing, her agriculture is falling into neglect, lu r population is forsaking her, her political strength is withering, and her public and private wealth is declin ing; insomuch, that if these evils are not arrested in their course, she must speedily sink into ruin and con iempt; thai they owe their existence mainly to a want of State pride, and concert of opinion and action, and to the diliionliies of internal transportation, and the want cf 'primary markets within her own bosom; that for the remedy of these mischiefs, the active and zealous co- i r i . irii ifi.'i f )i .1 !

J. A. Hill moved further to amend tbe re solutions by inserting the following, to come in aftei the second resolution, to wit: 3. Resolved that, in the opinion of this convention, true policy requires that ihe funds ol the State ought, iu the first instance, to be employed exclusively in provid ing the means of Internal transportation, and in creating and improving markets within hfr on limits. . Mr. Iredell moved that the further considera tion of the said amendmer be indefinitely post poned; which was not agreed to. The question then rccuring on the adoption of the resolution., it was decided in the affirmative. j Mr. I h-bert. moved further to amend the re-! solution in the series reported by the committee Mr. Winslow also moved further to amend by striking out the fourth resolution. The questions on these motions were both decided in the affirma tive. Mr. J. A.
