The Railroad Imbroglio. A contemplated railroad througl Oregon has been the subject of much consideration and conversationfeeling, sparring ana newspaper criticism. All, we believe', acknowledge its im portance and necessity, but the great questions seem now to be first, who shall build the road second, where shall it runj and third, how shall it be built These 'are questions of vital importance, and must be met and sat" isfactorially disposed of before success ful progress can be made in its con etruction. And now, while the project is in its incipiency, clouds have arisen, andunpleasantfeelings exist in certain quarters two companies now claim the "rights and franchises given by congress and ouiTlegislature," which have a tendency, more or less, to throw a damper upon the enterprise. We, and all true friends of a railroad through o.ur State, fel "sorry that such a state of affairs exist.

We do not pretend to decide the question as to who has 'the best right, but sin cerely hope that it may be speedily disposed of, and that the work of construction may proceed at once. We want a railroad. Of we would rather have it through our county and city we believe them to be in the most direct and practicable line to best subserve the? interest of the State at large but father than see the project fail we would favor a road on the other side of riveri The following resolutiops and proceedings of a railroad meeting held at McMinriville on the 18th inst, were ordered published in, the Courier and Unionist only; but being deeply in terested in. the subject ourself and wishing to keep our readers posted, as far as in onr power, of the movements or counter movements relative to the same, we quote from the Lafayette Courier, without: at present, express ing approbation or -disapprobation, leaving the people 'and the proper tri bunals to decide which is the legal" company Whereas: The Congress of the United States has i granted several millions of acres of land to aid. in constructing a Ilailroad through Oregon, and made it the duty of "th Oregon Legislature to designate the Company which should receive land grant apd whereas, the last Legislature did designate the "Ores goh Central Ilailroa'd Company," a Com-; pany then incorporated, and whose Incorporators and Articles of Association were then before the Legiidatureand possessed its connaence iuil whereas; the said, Legislaturtrarited 'further aid in inter est pledged to said Company: "therefore, be it resolved, by this; meeting: 1st.
