PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNAL IM
PROVEMENT CONVENTION, HELD AT
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, ON MONDAY,
JUNE 17, 1841.
According to previous notice, the Inter
nal Improvement Convention assembled
at Huntsville, on Monday, the I7th day of
June, 1844, and was organized at the Me
thodist Church by requesting Gen. B. M.
Howe to take the chair, who called the
Convention to order. Delegates appeared
from South Carolina, Georgia, and Ten
nessee, and a numerous attendance of
citizens from the counties of I JeKalb, Mar
shall, Jackson, Limestone, Franklin and
Madison.
On motion of J. 11. Lewis, Esq., Hon.
C. C. Clay was unanimously elected Pre
sident of the Convention, and Wra. Spen
cer Brown and George Cox were appoint
ed Secretaries.
On taking the Chair, Mr. Clay address
ed the Convention, thanking the gentlemen
who composed it for the honor conferred
on him, and entering, diffusely, into the
importance of the objects for which they
had convened. The more immediate pur
pose of the Convention, to construct a Rail
Road from the Tennessee to the Coosa
river, thereby forming a connection with
the lines of Rail Roads from the Commer
cial emporiums of Georgia and South Ca
rolina and with the tributary waters of the
Mobile Bay, was particularly enforced on
the consideration of the convention. Mr.
Clay said that this enterprise called for the
instant and energetic action of the people
of the Tennessee valley, so as to meet the
Georgia works, which were advancing to
the borders of ou»* State and would be com
pleted within the year 1845. That per
sonal interest, as well as national security,
was involved in this great work, and he
appealed to the convention on these high
considerations to lend their aid to its ac
complishment,
Gen. Lowe then introduced to the con
vention the Hon. John P. King of Georgia,
who addressed the convention in an em
phatic and interesting speech on the sub
jects before the convention. He gave
statistics of the Georgia Roads to show
that by proper management and direction,
Rail Roads, judiciously located, could be
made profitable for investment as well as
beneficial to the community at large. He
dwelt, particularly, on the advantages that
must result to this country from opening
the communication with the Georgia Rail
Roads, in the immense saving of time in
sending Cotton and other produce to mar
ket and receiving returns; —in the charges
incident to transporting and selling; and.
in the reduced prices at which all articles !
consumed in this country would be im- !
ported. He suggested that the work could
be done without the assistance of a dollar j
more in money than would pay for the
Rail-Iron, Locomotives and Engineering.
That labor diverted from the production
of Cotton, which was likely to be greatly
depressed in price, would accomplish the
w'ork without embarrassment or hinder
ance to any one. He insisted, strenuous
ly, that the only way to succeed and pros
per. was to avoid going into debt for the
work, and gave interesting statements
illustrative of the correctness of this posi
tion.
On motion of Mr. Lewis, it was unani
mously resolved, that a committee of sis- i
teen be appointed by the President, to re- ;
port to this convention, at its next meeting,
the best means of accomplishing the ob- j
jects for which it was assembled.
Pursuant to this resolution the President
named the following gentlemen to com- ■
r o
pose the committee, viz :
Hon. J. P. King, of Georgia.
Mr. Reynolds, “
Col. Gadsden, of South Carolina.
Wm. Spencer Brown, of Georgia.
David Dcshler, of Alabama.
Col. Edwin Hickman, of Tennessee.
Gen. J. P. Frazier, of Alabama.

Dr. Morrison, “
Judge Wyeth, a
James I. Donegan, Esq. “
John H. Lewis, “
Thomas Brandon, “
Gen. B. M. Lowe, “
Wm. J. Maslin, Esq. “
and at the request of several gentlemen, |
the President was added to the committee, j
On motion, the convention then adjourn
ed, to meet again at 3 o'clock on Tnesday, j
the 18th June.
Tuesday, June 16.
The convention met and was called to j
order at 3 o'clock- P. M Alter the jour-
nal of yesterday’s proceedings was read,
the committee appointed yesterday, sub
mitted, through their chairman, Mr. King,
the following report and resolutions:
REPORT.
The Committee to w hich was referred the
subject of deliberation, beg leave to report, j
That the Legslalure of Alabama, at its |
last annual meeting, granted an act of in
corporation upon certain terms therein ;
named, the object of which was to author
ize the construction of a rail-road, from
some {joint at or near Wills’ Creek on the
Coosa river, to Gunter’s Landing on the
Tennessee.
The utility of this work, and the means
of its accomplishment, have been duly
considered by the Committee, with the
limited information at present before them.
The subject has been, recently, much dis
cussed, and the Committee do not deem it
necessary to dwell upon the importance
of the short link in a great line of improve
ment. It is the last link unprovided for,
in a continuous line of Rail Road and
Steam boat communication from the sea
ports of Georgia and Carolina to the Mis
sissippi River. The Committee have the
fullest assurances that lines of rail roads
from Charleston and Savannah will con
nect with Rome on the Coosa River in the
course of the next year. They are also
assured, that the Coosa river is navigable
at all seasons, for boats of moderate draft,
from Rome to the mouth of Wills’ Creek
—a similar capacity for navigation is at
all times found in the Tennessee River
from Gunter’s Landing to Decatur.—
The Decatur and Tuscumbia Rail Road
avoids the Muscle Shoals and connects
with the navigable waters of the Tennes
see below them; which, through the Ohio
connect with the Mississippi. The com
mittee also entertain strong hopes that a
growing conviction of the importance of
this great l|ne of improvements may lead j
to new and successful efforts to revive \
and complete the Memphis and La Grange
Rail-road, leading from Memphis direct
to Tuscumbia. This work is partially
executed, and, it is hoped, is only tempo
rarily suspended.
The vast national importance of this
line of improvements has been frequently
noticed by the .statesman and politician,
and being too obvious, to question* will
not be dwelt upon in this report. Its im
portance to the people of North Alabama
and of the valley of the Tennessee, it has
been the duty of the Committee more es
pecially to consider, and its importance
to them the Committee believe cannot be
too strongly urged. It will secure to
them a cheap, easy, expeditious and cer
tain outlet to the Atlantic coast, open at
all seasons of the year, and from eight to
fifteen hundred miles, shorter than those
channels of open to
them, and which they have been hereto
fore accustomed to use. The vast im
provements in the locomotive engine, by
increased adhesion and improved power,
—the saving of insurance,—higher pri
ces north of the Florida capes, lower
charge and the great advantages of quick
and certain returns, induce a strong con
viction upon the Committee that a very
large portion of the cotton crop of this sec
tion will be transported over this line with
much advantage to the producer—and
the conviction is y r et stronger that the
freight on merchandize, in return to the
same point, will bear no comparison to that
now j>aid.—Little doubt seems now to be
entertained by practical men connected
with Rail Roads, that icith a heavy busi
ness,owe dollar and thirty throe cents per
one hundred miles, will pay a fair profit
on the investment.—No good reason is
perceived by the Committee, why this line
should not, with the same heavy business,
transport as cheaply as any other. Its
cost will be less and an examination of of
ficial reports will show that the economy
of management has been as good, if not
better, upon those links of the line alrea
dy in operation. Making the liberal al
lowance, however, of $1:2,50 per ton for
the entire distance from the sca-coast to
Gunter’s Landing, being about double the
estimate named, and the consumer will be
taxed only one-sixth of the freight he now
pays from the ports with which he is now
most accustomed to deal. He may deal
even with the same ports through this
channel and a coast navigation, at gene
rally much less than one-half the rales
he now pays. The committee could not
without statistics approach accuracy on
the subject, but do not believe they would
hazard much in assuming that the saving
to the people of Tennessee valley, by the
completion of this work, will pay the en
tire cost of it in a single year.
The committee having duly considered
the importance of the contemplated im
provement, will now briefly consider its
practicability, and value as an invest
ment. On the first branch of this subject
it is regretted that more satisfactory in
formation is not immediately at command.
The whole of the route has never been sur
veyed. and no part of it, perhaps with that
attention necessary in fixing a final loca
tion. From information received, howev
er, and facts communicated by persons
well acquainted with localities on that
pan of the route where most difficulty is
supposed to exist, the committee entertain
i but little doubt that a route may be pro
-1 cured by no means expensive, and with
grades not objectionable. It is deemed
i unnecessary further to enlarge on this
branch of the subject, as prudence will
dictate that no decisive step be taken fur j
the execution of the work until a careful i
survey of the route shall be made by a i
| competent engineer. From views alrea- j
i dy expressed by the committee, they can
entertain no doubt, that the proposed road,
■ if practicable, will be a profitable invest- j
I ment to the stockholder. Every element
of cost in the construction of rail roads is
j now extremely low’, and no probable esti
| mate for the work can greatly exceed
i 8300,000. On this small capital the pro
j fits would be large, unless the committee
have greatly over-estimated the business
■ that will be done upon the road. Free
from all apprehension of delay in summer j
by low water, or in winter by ice, this
route will naturally be preferred by a
vast section of country, to the uncertain
and dilatory route of the Ohio river. It
will also, to a great extent, concentrate
the intercourse between North and South
Alabama, which will probably be much
increased by an ultimate extension of the
route to Selma and Wctumpka.
The committee are not deterred from
the opinions here expressed, by the gene- ;
ral opinion, which they know prevails, i
that rail roads have, heretofore, proved an j
unprofitable investment. This impres
sion has been produced by general results, |
but without a know ledge of facts, ora full i
and proper understanding of the subject. |
An examination of the subject has fully |
j satisfied the committee that rail roads, |
j well located and w'ell managed, are, per
haps without exception, yielding a fair |
and constantly increasing net profit, and j
j if the stockholders in all of'them do not re- !
i ceive regular dividends, it is because the j
profits are applied to make up a capital, j
originally deficient, instead ofmakingad- !
ditional calls on the stockholders. It is ■
importaßtfurther to consider, in this con- i
i nection, that the roads now in operation
| were built anterior to many great im- :
' provemento in rail road economy, and at
a cost more than double that at which simi
lar works may now he constructed.
Though the committee are decidedly of
opinion that the stock, with good manage
ment, will be a profitable investment, they
are unwilling to believe that this is the
only consideration that will stimulate tire
peopleof North Alabama to accomplish a i
work so clearly within their means. A
glance at the map is only necessary to de
inonstrate the effect of this work in the |
emancipation of their commerce. Land- ;
locked at present in all directions, and j
compelled to seek distant seaports through j
obstructed and uncertain channels, they j
will, on the completion of this improve- i
ment, be able to reach healthy seaports, j
in their oxen latitude, in 48 hours; and be- I
ing north of the Capes and Straits of Flo
rida, will have before them the cheap na- !
vigation of the broad Atlantic, to foreign j
ports, if they wish them, from Archangel !
to Calcutta. No one can be charged with
disaffection to our political union, by exhi- |
biting a wish to do something for that sec- |
tion of country to which lie belongs. All |
good citizens wish to be recollected after
j they are gone, and by their useful works
| whilst living, to establish a just claim to
i the gratitude of posterity.
! As the whole subject has recently been
| much discussed, and, it is hoped, general
ly understood, the Committee deem it un
necessary to extend this report to an in
convenient length. They will, therefore,
| close, after adding a few words upon the
i means necessary to execute this short but
important work. They cannot doubt the
ability of those most immediately interes
ted, to complete this work without delay
ior embarrassment. The work, however,
| should not be left to a few public spirited
; individuals, but a confiding spirit of co
| operation should prevail; each contribu
ting acccording to his means, and no one
be asked to exceed them. A large amount
of money will not be required, as the char
ter contains a provision which authorizes
an arrangement with stockholders (who
: prefer it) to work out their subscriptions,
i It is believed that this privilege may be
used to great advantage by many of our
planters, upon the contemplated work.—
There seems to be every indication at pre
i sent of a very abundant crop the present
i year, and the market for this staple being
now much depressed, a still further decline
i may be reasonably apprehended. The
committee therefore believe that many
j planteis could not employ their labor and
I surplus provisions so profitably in anv
| other way, as to rest their cotton lands,
and execute contracts for stock during
the next year. In this way much of the
work may be done without embarrass
j ment to any, whilst the benefits will be
felt by all.* Whilst making a profitable
i investment for themselves, they will be
i contributing to the accomplishment of a
great public work, the benefits of which
will descend to their posterity, and be felt
by millions yet unborn.
The committee conclude by offering the
| following resolutions—viz;
1. Resolved, That the completion of a
rail road, connecting the waters of the
I Coosa with those of the Tennessee at
Gunter’s Landing, is a work of great na
tional as well as local importance, and es- I
pecially to the peopleof the valley of the
Tennessee.
2. Resolved, That the commissioners
named in the act of incorporation be re
quested to take early measures to procure
subscriptions and organize underthe char
ter: first being satisfied of the practicable
1 ity and cost of the work from a careful
J survey by a competent engineer.
( 3. Resolved, That the said commission
| ers be requested to raise the necessary
funds for said survey, by a provisional
subscription or otherwise, as they mav
| deem most expedient and proper.
Previously to taking the vote on the
I adoption of the report and resolutions, the
President invited Col. Gadsden of South i
Carolina to address the Convention, which j
he did in an earnest manner, setting forth !
the vast importance of the work in con
templation to the people of the Southern
States. He said that South Carolina had
: been the first to project and execute Rail
1 Roads in the South, and had turned her at- |
i tention at an early period to the trade of the :
Mississippi valley; but through ill-advised
friends her energies had been directed to
wards the city of Cincinnati instead of
Memphis. That this work failed because
of the impossibility of constructing a Rail
Road across the impassable chains of
mountains that interposed. The observa
tion and sagacity of Col. Elliott of South
I Carolina bad first directed attention to the
: proper channel of communication through
I the Coosa and Tennessee valleys towards
1 Memphis, and more recent observation
i shows the practicability and usefulness of
I this great project. Coi. Gadsden then re
peated the assurance already given to the
; Convention, that Rail Roads could be
i made profitable for investment and cheap
1 modes for conveyance for any description 1
l of produce. The planter would thus be j
; enabled to get his cotton to a better rnar
| ket and to realize returns (at aconsidera
i ble saving in charges and insurance) with
in a week or ten days. He did not doubt |
| but that the people of this fertile valley I
1 would go to work, immediately, to over- I
j come the only remaining obstruction in
■ the line of communication with the At
! lantic seaboard; a work which, compared
-with what has already been accomplish
ed in Georgia and South Carolina, is of
inconsiderable magnitude.
The Report and Resolutions were then
unanimouslg adopted.
The following resolutions were then
offered by Gen. B. M. Lowe,
1. Resolved, That a committee of 21
I members be appointed by the chair to pre
i pare a memorial to the ensuing Legisla
ture offfie State of Alabama, asking the
; application of such portion of the “two per
| cent fund,” relinquished to the State to
; aid in the connection of the Tenncsse river
; with the navigable waters of Mobile Bay,
j as they may deem just and reasonable, re
j garding the spirit and objects of said act
\ of relinquishment.
2. Resolved, That said committee cause
| copies of said memorial to be distributed
| in the several counties of North Alabama,
and elsewhere if they deem it expedient,
| to procure signatures and the most gener
! al expression of the sense of our citizens,
j 3. Resolved, That a committee of cor
! respondcnce be appointed by the President,
' to consist of three members, w hose duty
it shall be, to communicate with those en
j gaged in the construction of the Mongome
| ry and West Point Rail Road, and with
i such others as they may deem necessary to
i facilitate the accomplishment of the pro-
I posed measure.
j Col. Terry of Limestone here asked
i permission to make a statement relative
i to his vote on the bill offered to the last
| Legislature to loan $120,000 of the the 2
i per cent to the Tennessee and Coosa Rail
| Road Company. It had been whispered
i about for the purpose of injuring him that
;he w r as opposed to the Bill and that it had
I been lost by his vote.—His position in the
j Senate was such that he had to record his
i vote before any one else, and, of course,
i the fate of the bill was not in hands. But
his reason for voting against the bill em-
I bracing the loan to the Tennessee and
i Coosa Rail Rail Road Company was, that
it came before the Senate as an amendment
; to a bill to loan a similar amount to the
Montgomery and West Point Rail Road
Company, on what he deemed insufficient
security. He had always been willing to
appropriate even the whole amount of the
“two per cent fund”' to the improvement
now contemplated by this Convention.
The President here rose and gave the
i Convention a history of the “2 per cent j
| fund,” its origin and object. It had been i
; relinquished to the State of Alabama on I
the express condition that it should be
faithfully applied to making a connection
; between the Tennessee River and the wa
ters of the Mobile Bay; and also for a
road leading from West Point on the Geor
gia line towards Jackson, Miss. The
; State had accepted the fund on these con-
I ditions, and the Legislature had no right
Ito dispose of it for any other object. It
I certainly had no right to lend the money
i to any company, but was bound in good
i faith to appropriate the fund to the works
j in question whenever there was an assu
; ranee that the money would be faithfully
i applied and the works completed.
The resolutions offered by Gen. Lowe
j were then unanimously adopted.
Col. Gadsden offered the following re-
O
solution, which was seconded and unani
rnously adopted, viz:
Resolved, That the Committee of Cor
respondence be requested to inform those
interested in the construction of the Mem
phis and Tuscumbia Roads, and of the j
link of communication between them
through Mississippi, of the proceedings of
j this Convention—and asking their co
! operation in awakening ’he public atten- |
tion in Tennessee and Mississippi, to the
importance of adopting measures calcu
lated to complete the entire chain of Rail
Roads from the Atlantic to the waters of
the Mississippi, as now projected and un
der charters granted by the respective Le
gislatures.
James J. Donegan, Esq. offered tiie fol
lowing resolution, which was seconded
and unanimously adopted, viz:
“Resolved, That our fellow-citizens in
the different counties of this valley, inter
ested in the important work before this |
Convention, are requested to use their
best efforts to accomplish it, by obtaining
through their Representatives in the Le
j gislature the proportion of the “2 per cent I
fund" to which North Alabama is entitled, !
lor this object—and, also, that they hold t
meetings in their respective counties res
ponsive to the views of this Convention.”
On motion of Gen, B. M. Lowe, it was
unanimously Resolved, That the thanks
of this Convention are due to the Trustees
of the Methodist Church for the use of the
churchduring the sittingof the Convention.
Gen. Lowe then rose and proposed to
the Convention a vote of thanks to the
President ot the Convention for the able
and highly satisfactory manner in which
he iiad presided over the deliberations of j
the Convention, and also to the Secretaries
for the services rendered by them on this
occasion.
The proposition was submitted to vote j
: and adopted unanimously;—whereupon
l the President rose and tendered his grate
ful acknowldgernents to the Convention for '
this flattering tertimonial of their approba- i
tion, and congratulated them on the inter- j
| est which they had evidently awakened :
| amongst such of our citizens as had at- i
tended the Convention. He felt confident
that their efforts would be crowned with
success, and was happy if any effort of
his had contributed, in any way, to the i
attainment of the objects which had been !
presented.
Gen. Lowe offered the following rcso- ■
lution, which was seconded and unani
mously adopted, viz:
“Resolved, That the proceedings of
this Convention be signed by the Presi
dent and Secretaries, and published in
the newspapers of this place;—and also
that all newspapers friendly to the objects
of this Convention, in Alabama. Mississip
pi, Tennessee, So. Carolina and Georgia
be requested to copy the same.
On motion the Convention then adjourn
