The Railroad.

MANY members of the Legislature still
doubt the policy of extending time to the
M.& NV. R. R. Co. We regret this fact;
but if there must be sacrifice of the best in
terests of Minnesota merely to sustain the
consistency @ Of our cratic executive, who
had it in his power to kill the original char
ter at the time of its passage. but did not do
it-then so be it!
We feel that the whole press of Saint
Paul and the Territory-with very few tri-
fling exceptions-has done its duty; that
the sincere and rightly directed men of the
Territory have done their duty; and now,
if faction, jealousy, and political coalition sue
ceeds in snatching the beneffce from our
grasp just as we are about to realize it, the
consequences must certainly fall with crush
ing vengeance upon those who perret rated
the deed.
Two Of the st. Paul morning papers of
yesterday contained extracts from letter
from Hon. Chas. Stuart, Senator from Mich
igan, in regard to the present position of the
Company with the courts, and the Govern
ment We quote the following:
"The court held that plaintiff in error
had not theright of course to dismiss his writ,
but it was matter resting in the discretion
of the court, and that inasmuch as the At
torney General insisted that the record did
not present all the questions in the case, but
expressed his willingness to do all that
should be proper to facilitate the decision OF
another suit, which will present them, they
granted the motion-at the same time say
ing that all the questions embraced in the
record, were well presented, and in Law
yer-like manner.
My own convictions are and have been all
the while, that the repeating act of Congress
Is nullity, and that the Supreme Court
VIII hold it SO whenever the question shall
come before them. And there is no difficult
ty, you well know, in bringing f. before
them in more ways than one. The Gonna
ny am satisfied are determined to do If and
to push everything on to successful result, );

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.

. +
The Tribune's Reporter of the doings Of
the American Convention at Philadelphia,
saws the motion to strike out the 18th Sec
ton. will probably be made by Southern
man, and the Northern delegates are quite
confident that it will be carried. Then the
Ohio men will propose the minority resolu-
tions Of June last and 60 out, unless that is
in or something quite as strong.
TEN CLOCK z. NJ. .l8th.-Some of the
Northern delegates W o have been in caucus
tonight, talk confidently Of success, not on
ly in abolishing the 10Th Section, but in sub
stituting an Anti-Nebraska or Republican
clause. If SO, of course the South will bolt.
The Southern members in caucus tonight
decided to stand by the 18th Section. At
last the Northern delegates decided that the
18th Section must come out if they remain
in. They will not go into caucus with a
Pro-Slavery platform under any circumstan-
ces.

AMENDE.-The Governor informs us that
the statement which we published from the
Pioneer yesterday morning, wherein it was
asserted that he had approred one of the acts
passed last Winter in relation to the M. &
N. w. R. R. Company, was an error; that it
was wrongly printed in the Session Laws
He did not approve of it; he aNoaoed it to be-
come law by keeping it in his possession
over three days.
ssA mighty difference thus you see.
