THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.
"\Vc learn from the Edgefield Atlvertiwr tliut j
tlte Blue Uidgc Meeting on Sale dfiy \vn.-? well
attended by citizens from nil parts of the Distri'si.
and furnished a fair representation of tlie
spirit, intelligence nnd wealth of Edgefield, on
the occasion. The design of the meeting was
to test the public sentiment of tlie District as
to tlie policy of extending further niil k> i
Road, nr.d we nrc glad to see* that the measure j
received the enthusiastic npproval of the meet- i
ing. This result' will go far to remove the |
doubts of llie wavering, ami to givo renewed !
hope to the friends of the enterprise. We look J '
upon it ns one of the best auguries of success.? : (
The Advfrlitrr eays:
The aHaernhly wad organized with Col. John j
Iluiet in the chair, when decided Blue Ridge '
resolutions were proposed as a test of the sense !
of the meeting on this very important measure
of State policy. i
Ahle speeches were made by Jndge'Vrost 1
and Mr. Geo. A. Trcnliohn in favor, and by I
Mr. Ww. Gregg and - Hon. J. P. Carroll in
opposition to'the resolutions. The two former 1
gentlemen were present by special request, as '
the people, wished to hear the truth and the '
whole trut1, on this momentous subject. It wa?*J
well considered, that this could he obtained"?
from none more fully,'or more clearly, than ] '
from these conscientious and - enlightened nd- | 1
vocatesof the enterprise. It is needless to |
ndd that all present were grqjd&ed by their
powerful anil eloquent appeals fnd enptivuted J <
t?V the considerate courtesv with wlii<.l> 1
addressed themselves to a compliance will) the <
wishes of those who had invited their attcii- 1
dance. !
We perhaps err in saying that Col. Carroll 1
made a regular speech against the resolutions.
It was more properly a response to a call 1
strenuously made upon him by the opposition, \
in the course of *vhioh he briefly indicate#* c
some of.the rensons which prevailed with him t
in hia vote of last Session. The Honorable r
Senator discharged this with his usual |
elegance, and high toJTe. .Mr. Wm. ".Gregg t
followed on the same side in a long eia- i
borate flfort? nnd was evident in gooff*^>li^ht f
for the onset. But it was nil in vain. The t
plain trutli6 of Judge TroS? nnd the fervid rea- c
soiling af Mr. Trenbolm were too much for r
thai worthy gentleman's polalo pflteh prae
licalities' The result was a most triufiiphaut t
adoption of the resolutions,Ind a general out- q
burst of approval as the meeting odjuuriieo. 4
Otaing to the length of the debate,.,contiim- a
ing to a late hour in the'nftenioon, thetffeembly : c
wnu considerably diminished before tff&lote wa3
taken. Yet every one will agree ylth us .in
saying, thai at its full et, tlie same inar'*<>J
disproportion in tbe vote would have Occdpku.
