The Democrats from the northwest have
had several conferences relative to the pre.
sent condition of politics. They generally
approve of the position set forth in Messrs.
McClernand and Vallandigham's speeches
yesterday-that the Union cannot be
dissolved peaceably that the north west
will not, under any circumstances, consent
to be cut off from the Gulf of Mexico and
the city of New York; that the government,
whatever may be its faults, is of inestimable
value. The leading idea is, in the event of
disunion, central government, embracing
the middle, western, and border slave states.

Mr., Houston, of Alabama, urged prompt
action, and freely expressed the opinion
that the committee might adopt a report
which will restore union feeling at the
south and avert secession.
The committee organized and adjourned

ST. ANTHONY AND MINNEAPOLIS
FROM oUR OWN REPORTER.

RAILROAD QUEsT1oN.-As the time for
the meeting Of our Legislature approaches,
the interest in a proper solution of the
somewhat mixed Railroad question increases.
While q large majority Of our people are
decidedly in favor of such action as will in
sure the speedy construction of the several
roads projected under the land grant, yet Q
diversity Of opinion exists as to the method
to be adopted. Minneapolitans feel like in
sistiDg on the construction of the Cedar
Valley road at the same time they will
not resist the construction of any or all
others contemplated under the land grant
Our St. Anthony friends take the ground
that if all cannot be speedily built, then
they will favor the construction of the st.
Paul and st. Cloud branch of the Pacific
road. 1t strikes US as being essentially i'm
portant, that we have union of sentiment
and action. If that is not resolutely ac-
corded, "Old Hennepin" stands fair chance
of being tripped up on getting her just
