Merchants W T w w BROWN WARDNER i1 is n Goods its by the Society On motion a committee of three persons was appointed by Chair to draft Resolutions ex- pressive of thi sense of the meeting which in order reported the following Resolved Vhal it is a matter of the highest importance to every country and especially to the Territory of Wisconsin mainly relying as she ever must upon the products of the earth for her prosperity to encourage in every ful her Agriculture and tbe various brandies of business necessarily connected with il Resolved That it is in our opinion a long established faet a high state of Agriculture is the basis of all individual as well as national prosperity and in whatever thia ence is raised to the level w bich it so sally the people must as a necessary consequence be in the same proportion happy prosperous and independent Resolved That lie inhabitants of the be solicited to take some immediate steps to set forward this noble unite with us their voices ing for S me Legislative aid to this all tant occupation Resolved That our Legislative Assembly could in no manner better serve their ents or a more and inestimable benefit upon hem than by making liberal visions and appropriations for the ment of Agriculture in all its branches and that they be requested to pass a law at then present session providing for the annual dis- of s ich an amount of money to each of the different ot the Territory in proportion to their in the AND MISSISSIPPI To tbe Editor of the A t He induced to embark in the it would share the sad fate of its not soon to be forgotten In my former communications to the pu Milwaukie and Rock River I stated three propositions in relation to the canal I doubt not that the Legislature will two-thirds of these manufactured goods weie position of the land granted by Congress to aid at jtB gran a charter with such allowed to come into this country ficc of duty in the construction of the Milwaukie and restriction and with such privileges as will on But not one worth of amounting to francs and she took from us goods in return to 000.000 aud the balance iu Now River Canal but these were mere alterna ive the one hand protect the people and on the would they take us until w e paid them a propositions involving no inconsistency mdf other hold out such liberal inducements to the heavy duty for the privilege of tending them to indicating no preference in the writer at d T am surprised that any public journal shouli reckless ef its own character as to i change of mind in the of these now before the public In my first I sei that the grant be applied by the Territory tc thff construction of a McA dam road from Illinois will be turned to the subject and west the construction of a Railroad king up to her own true interests will takt Milwaukie to the Mississippi River by the et- or that the proceeds arising from the sale of the grant be given to the Company should construct this Railroad In my last I repeated the proposition tke subject of a McAdam road and pointed t a mode of arriving at the result This proj tion has been considered and treated in tbe ab- stract by but I perceive tha he has entirely misapprehended me lie has not only my meaning but is in his estimate of the cost of the work A investment of capital aa will secure the com- thar country The French people make us of the work a duty on our 5 per cent more Now is the auspicious time and I trust there lnan nations This is to encourage nations and injure us So again permit Great to send her manufactured articles here almost free of cost for the highest charge we can make is 20 per cent upon the value in England Consequently they invariably Invoice the goods at much below cost and thus elude the extra expense which a tai iff is intended to create But I am too much upon the time of my and will close with the will be a united and vigorous effort on the part the people to carry forward this great prize Jf we delay the attention ot northern wa- take ad- of it and open a Railroad from cago to the Mississippi and then the project of constructing a road through our own Territory meet with but little favor and it will be W the work at once ant with n tion to carry it forward and our neighbor will labor under a similar difficulty The people of are too intelligent and ing to allow sectional feeling and petty ies to prevent Hie of measures enlarged views and an enlightened policy would Adam road from Milwaukie to Rock Ri er j dictate and i feel confident that this great work which I am satisfied data upon win h I which will produce such important results not can rely could be built out of the proceeds an- only to tlie present but to the future will be- sing from the sale ol thr munificent gr nl within three years would prove as cial to the community as the Canal 11 ave shown would coat more than twelve hum red thousand one to be owned and on- trolled by the people the other be controle by a Company while the ownership is be- tween such Company and the people fore I prefer the Road to the Canal prov ded the latter could be built within the time limited by the charter which however is en- tirely out of the question Of the three nr des fore five years be consummated Truly yours P S In my second article in the Courier I said the work would cost over This does not fall short of the estimate above made which includes the cost of cars depots In that article I was made to say 200 miles of canal instead ol 100 miles of For the and cts per Ib for UNITED STATES England levies a Tax of 75 as shall be by said Counties for purpose Resolved That the interests of Agriculture require prompt and united action of the Farmers of the Territory in forming and County Agricultural Societies Resolved That the attention bestowed by the Farmers in County tii the selection of stock and the improvement of their farms affords a sufficient guaranty of the future success of the interest of Agriculture Resolved That the extensive circulation of Agricultural publications in the Territory is eminently calculated to advance the cause of Agriculture ind to encourage and promote the interests of community

of having i When stemmed or pressed in they j D T call Jt and tax our citizens plied to a Railroad from the Lake to the D T the small amount of two dollars But I cannot agree with ze JJ in the view which he takes of this I am opposed to and as a citizen of the Tern ory would protest against placing this grant al the disposal of any Company I do not object to a bonus to the full amount of the sale of this 1 aid being paid to a Company that will construct this great work but the Territory should sell this land as fast as required for settlement and improvement and hold the fund arising tl pre- from until the wotU shall have been oomph ted otherwise the affair might fall into hands and disastrous consequences he th re- sult 1 hope that the grant will be disposed of in such manner as to the rights and interests of those who have se tied and hereafter may settle within its limits and thereby promote the public good But v ever disposition nay be made of e be applied to a Railroad or whether it reverts to the General Govern nent or believe that a Railroad from the jahe to the Mississippi will be undertaken that within five years this great chain of comu uni- cation which is to command the whole V illey of the Upper Mississippi and the miner 1 re- gion of Illinois and Wisconsin and make the Queen City of the west w 11 bs I now propose to treat the subject of the Railroad independently of the grai t I believe that this work is feasible and tha it is expedient to commence it within the son I have conversed upon the subject competent and practical and wi h in- gentlemen well informed as to cost of such works and well acquainted witi the country from the Lake to the Mississippi ing viewed it with reference to and I am well satisfied that this 160 miles of can be constructed and tlie necessary car and the depots built for Let ca ists be satisfied that the business of the road would pay an interest of six per cent 01 the capital invested and the stock will be tak n I believe that it can be shown th t the transportation of Lead from the mines of owa Illinois and Wisconsin would the first ye r the road is opened pay an interest of 5 per c-f and that the revenue which would be from the and merchandize passing over this road would increase this interest to more than seven per cent The Legislature should grant a liberal ter authorizing a private Company to con truct and maintain this road By liberal chaiter 1 do not mean that it shouM be divested all proper restrictions such as banking eges and a proper tariff of rates for the trans tion of produce and but th t the charter should be perpetuated and not re ble at the will of the Legislature D lation and the property of the Compa ly be exempted from taxation but the should reserve the right to purchase o it the work at some future 30 yeara ing should be prohibited for the very ot vious reason that the stock might be ed by speculators merely for the purpose of iag those privileges during the time allot ed to construct the road and thas by r sub- stantial capitalists from investing dele t the of the grant The Legislature should gress asking a grant of land to the Company that shall construct the road which I dou Jt not would be made upon condition that tbe Com- pany carry the mail over the road free but the Legislature should reserve the n to locate the as it could not otherwise erly ask Congress to make such a grant s this right conferred upon a Company might t J verted to subserve mere private interests and especially should the right be reserved is the State mar at some future time buy o it the work But should the road be located Company a large amount of the capita stock should be required to be subscribed and t cient sum to be paid in upon tbe before any organization of the Company to prevent tbe possibility of its falling hands of mere speculators who have r ot the means of constructing the road but la e tbe stock in order to make something out of

The convention again met on Thursday 13th at 6 o'clock P M and Collins of Iowa was called to the Mr Thomas chairman of the committee pointed submitted a report with the following memorial to the Legislature of the lo tke Honorable tha Assembly oj Wisconsin The memorial of delegates and citizens in general convention met represents that the benefits which would result to the b of a IJL Michigan 10 the Mississippi Uiver bi vast importance in every point ol view with the general business and of the country It is not deemed to impress upon your honorable body the most truth of tins proposition by a argument setting in tbe effect or rious These reasons it may safely be presumed are within the knowledge oi the members of the two Houses it un- necessary to present though the medium ot a memorial a detailed view of the immense sources and prospective of the try Thus much being assumed as self-evident Your would pray your j body to adopt such measures il j the present session as will insure construe per pound which is two thousand per cent upon its cost The direct tax thus laid upon one of our staple productions produces to Gieat Britain alone the enormous amount of seventeen lions two and seventy-five thousand en dollars or about Hogsheads and we now pay to Europe a tax to thirty millions of dollars or about which in this country costs only Again on another great staple production of our country which is Great Britian taxes our Planters an extra 73 per bundled which only costs 25 in this country They tax us six dollars on a barrel of salted They will not permit an American sel to enter their ports with lumber they ing this great carrying trade for their own ships and the consequence is that of the ot two-thirds of ilia of gia about one-third of the whole commerce of these United States is carried in vessels This shows why ship building is de- creasing in this and why tbe British shipping increases Great Britian taxes us SI 44 per cwt on our Pot and Pearl ashes while the same articles manufactured in Canada are admitted fire of duty They taxed us nearly two million and a half in on our Cotton The above were obtained from the reports ot the various Departments at Washington and were introduced in a very able Lecture delivered by Mr James Tallmadge of New York before the American Institute a society for the motion of American and tures And Mr Editor what a comment is this brief statement 01 facts upon our Government at Home Is there one American who can read these without tha blush of shame lise to face That our own beloved and free country be taxed by Brit- ian on one Dingle Maple a sum cient to pay one half of the expense of her navy and which sum exceeds the whole ex- pense of our for one year This is true in regard to her restrictions on our bacco trade leans why do you submit thus to be trampled upon by Why allow them to tax us for the support of their What is and what has the cy of Great Britian Has the Farmer has the Mechanic has the looked at this question carefully t I fear not politics excludes all discussion on one of the most important subjects ever pre- sented to the understanding of all Great says to the inhabitants of these United We want your lumber but will send our own ships for it and you are to understand that we will not allow your vessels to come to our ports with that article for his
