Public Meeting.
A meeting of the citizens of Anderson
Uistrict was held in the Court Ilou.se on
Monday, Juuunry 3d, 1859, to take into
consideration tho action of the Legislature
it its last session on the JJluc ltidgc ltnilroad,
and to make such expression of their
sentiment* at the failure of the Legislature
:o grant further aid to this enterprise us
night be deemed lit and proper.
On motion of Dr. C. L. (iaillurd, tho
nceting was organized by calling J. P.
Ileed, Esq., t > tho Chair and appointing j
lames A. lloyt to act as .Secretary.
The chairman briefly expluiued the ob- I
ject of the meeting, and announced that lie
was prepared to bear any proposition that
i i... ii. ...
iiu^ui uc Miumiiica. nepeaied calls were j
untie fur (leu. James \V. Harrison, who in i

minutes in explanation of tlio progress of
the lload and the nature and cliarnctir of
Lhe aid voquested from the Legislature; nl- J
o, a brief summary of the proceedings ofj
that hody on this important measure. He !
believed that the necessary aid wcnld he t
grunted sh ?u!d his Excellency the Governor
convene the Legislature in extra session,
which the friends of the Road desired
might be done in the mouth of February.
On motion of Dr. O. 11. JJroyles, a Committee

and Col. A. Rico, reported the following
Preamble and Resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted :
Wijf.rkas, tho citizens of this District
liavo heard with disappointment and regret
lie action of the Legislature at. its lust hea>ion,
in declining to grant further uid to
,ho Blue Ridgo Railroad Company; and,
whereas, in our judgment* nromitt in<yi>s
ires should l>o taken to save the State uiul
M Company from the groat loss which will
result from an abandonment of the work,
fhercforo
IlcxoU'cil, That the construction of the
BIucRidge llailroad is essential totlie commercial
independence and prosperity of the
State of South Carolina.
llesolvwl, That tho aid asked by the
Company from the State at the last Lcgulii
lure was under tho ciruumbtanocs reasonable
*nd proper, and should have boon granted !
without hesitation.
jy i > m. . ii A - k
i nai me notion ot tlic Legislature
mui t have resulted from t misapprehension
of tho importanco of the work
tml tho wishes of a majority of the people
)(tho State, and should be corrected at
the earliest convenient moment.
Jirnolvcdf That in viow of tho ru'nouw
3onscc|uencea of an abandonment q!' the
work to the Company, to the State, in.d to
many contractor* now engaged |n tlie work,
it is wuH worthy the cmmiucrcuion of his
Kxcollenoy the (tovornor, whether tlio Legislature
should not be convened in oxtrajrdinary
session, to adopt suc.li incamircs as
would prevent so great a low and distrenH.
Kruolved, Thnt the i'rtwklout nod !>ii-eotora.of
the Company should, if possible,
