At meeting of the citizens of Tndependeee. county, holden on the evening of the fith inst the undersigned were appointed to prepare au al. dress to their felow-citizens of northern eastern and western Arkansas, who are interested in Ina improvement of the navigation of White and Mask rivers, and their tributaries, and in other rrrs, works of Internal Improvement. In discharrw this duty, to them a pleasant one, they take ec. casion at the outset, distinctly to avow that sayts politics has nothing to do with it they seek hIrs, and nohler purposes; objects which if they can 4. feet, win be productive of great and lasting benefit to all residing in the dis.-ict of country to whom they appeal.

 That the improvement of the navigation of Whhs Black and their tributaries, would tend directly to advance the interests of all residing near them VI deem 'fixed fact,n beyond cavn of dispute; that 1t can be done, issuseeptible of demonstration The means have been provided, and it remains with us to apply them. It is fortunate for ns, no abstrus questions of constitutional power arc in the way We have the fund appropriated specifically for ths great purposes of Internal Improvement and il re mains with us to harmonize, and then 20 to wotk in the right manner. How we should proceed does not become this Committee to say. inasmuch as the Convention, if holden, will be the proper time and place to discuss this subject But we conceive 1t to be within the legitimate sphere of our duty, to invite, nay, to impore those whom we d. dress Co be up and dolng-we have the country, we have all the natural advantages, If we put car shoulders to the wheel, to make our portion of Ar kansas garden spot;--but VIC must not like the indolent farmer, "Whu had COW and had no hay to give her,

 Took his pipe and began to blow, consider COW

 We have used every exertion, to arouse the pee pie to the importance of these works of lnterns lmprovement-of what use Is all the produce ths we raise beyond home consumption, if we have nc facilities of getting 1t to marketf Then the i'm Provernent of rivers, in the first and great ob ject which should demand our attnnton--our de pendence for market must he ut New Orleans; and so far as corn and cattle are concerued, the mos huctuating of all the markets in the United States and hence the vast importance of improving cu nasIgaiion 60 as to enable us to take advantagr of any rise in the market As It k now, strange mhB may seem, the most knowing ones, preier starting to market when the news reaches them that pro ! duce Is low.

 Our share of the 50O0O0 acre fund, on hrE division, mustbe at least $l25, ,000. If we eannis and act harmonionsy this will be sufficient to dek much good. There are many willing to donasf from their own fands for this purpose--lct fl bat be startedlet men of energy and talents take hos of it, and there will bs no lack of means for its sc complishment.

 In conclusion we earnestly beg that you may tak prompt measures, to secure delegates to this Cos vention, pledginga hearty cooperation on the par of Old Independence C. F. Nj NOI,AND Ckaiyuan
