We publish to-day the proceedings OF
the meeting held at the Court House on
Thursday night last, in which we have
Iendeavored to give Ms correct and full a
report Of what was said, as our opporlu.
mites and space will allow. We give no
opinion as 70 the propriety or improprie-
~ Of the citizens Of Dubuque investing
their means in that road. The vital
question with Dubuque is, will the road
terminate on the Mississippi opposite our
towns The siock ofthe Chicago and Ga,
lena Union Road may afford means OF
profitable investment, and doubtless will;
bu. If that road is TO 60 five or ten miles
below our, town, it would be suicidal 10 the
interests Of Dubuque TO lend its aid in its
construction to such point. The opin.
ion advanced BY Mr.. Drummond, that a
road crossing the river ten miles below
US, would be better than no road, is entire.
" fallacious. No means can be devised
more effectual for the destruction Of a
town upon nayigablc river, than to cross
ihatriyer by railroad a few miles from
such town. Wherever the road ives,
from Chicago shall cross the Mississippi,
there will be an importan: commercial
point. ~
Let Us, as we cherish the intsrests of
our own beautiful city, and the future
interests Of our own State, put forth our
earnest endeavors for the construction of
our own road west from this point. This
is the most powerful inducement that can
be held out 10 our eastern friends to d.
rect their road to an intersection at our
town. ''.-.

vantages octhis route.
The travellers to and from California
are afraid of a southern climate, Europe
is afraid OF a southern climate, the whole
travelling and CONNIE rcial world desire
this northern route. Ought we not to be
making preparations for It? Our south
ern rivals are provoking us to action up
on this subject; our own interests are i'm
polling US to action, and action is only
needed for its accomplishment.
Mr.. Ogden here referred to the pro-
gress which the Chicago and Galena
Railroad Company have made, and the
means they are employing for the accom-
plishment Of their portion OF this great
work. In three years from this time,
they hoped to complete the communica.
ton between those two towns. They
have already graded 80 miles Of thei.
road, and finished 10 Of it. BY next fall
AZ miles will be completed, to EIgin, on
the Fox river; and by the fall Of 1850 il
will be completed to Rock River. They
are now crippled in their means. When
:hey shall have reached Rock River, thei,
stock will be sought for. In three years
that portion Of the road will pay 20 pei
cent. upon the stock. III .aea
They have adopted the following mean.
to raise loans by tax. The people along
the route are petitioning the Legislature
ofsIllinois to pass q law, authorizing any
