st. Anthony, Minnesota-A Now Paper.
1t is not many years since the Falls of ST.
Anthony was far-off military post, which tc
many people seemed nearly as remote as Kan
schatka, or even as Symmes's Hole, as the polar
region was then loosely denominated. But
where at that time was nothing but q rude
picket fort to mark the existence Of civilized
man there has now sprung up furnishing
town, which, at no very distant day. bids fair
to become broad city-after the fashion Of
Cincinnati, St. Louis, Buffalo, Milwaukee, sc.
Almost simultaneously with the rise of this
town, too, we have received the inseparable
companion of American civilization, news
paper-a large and handsomely printed news
paper-entitled the St. Anthony Express,
which ministers, we presume. to the intelli-
gence and business wants of the St. Antonians.
1t is pleasant to observe that the political opin-
ions ofthe Erpress are such as meet our hearty
concurrence. We subjoin paragraph from
the editors salutatory:
Believing that the measures and principles Of
the Wing party are best calculated to promote the
prosperity of the country and this Territory, and
to develop most perfectly the advantages Of free
government, they will receive our most cordial
aud hearty support. Especially will all the lead
ing measures Of the present Administration be
fully endorsed in the Exprsss The policy of our
Government, set forth in the last annual mes
sage Of the Chief Magistrate, is characterized by
wisdom and moderation, and eminently calcu.
lated to promote the best interests Of every section
of the Union. In the integrity, wisdom, and pa
-
Gdence may be reposed. He is q staunch supporter
of the Constitution as it it, and not " AZ he under
stands it," He is firm executor Of the laws, and
thorough going Wing, and yet not the President
of n section or party, but the Union. For such
principles and such 4 man the Wings Of Mime
sofa will at all times be ready to do battle against
any Antagonist"

MIR. Corwin.

We Inadvertently omitted to mention, in
yesterdays impression, the departure of the
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY for his home in
Ohio. 1t is something more than two years
now since MIR. CoRwIN's last visit to the
West, and in all that time he has applied him
self to the discharge of his public duties, first
as Senator in Congress and then as Cabinet
merit universal respect. Some relaxation was
due him; and we feel satisfied that the people
of the whole country will be gratifed to hear
that he has gone to spend few weeks among
his nsighbors and his personal and political
friends in the beautiful valley of the Ohio.
1t is matter of honorable pride with Mr.. Con-
WINS numerous friends in this city, and will
be one Of general songratulation among the
commercial communities of the large seaboard
cities, that he has not deferred for future ac-
ton single one of the very large number of
cases that have been submitted for his investi-
cation and decision since he took charge of the
Department, or one Of those which at that time
remained over. Every thing has been cleared
from his table in business-like manner al
though the labor to do this required him to de-
lay his departure more than month beyond the
time at which he had earnestly desired to leave
for Ohio.
1t will not be unbecomng in US to say that,
in the present organization Of the Treasury De-
partment, and in its recent transaction of bust
ness, Mr.. CoRwIN has displayed great practical
wisdom and very high order Of administrative
talent. He has drawn about him those who are
not only able to work, but also ,cilling and
hence has given to the important commercial
circles of the country the best guarantee that
their interests will be promptly and efficiently
promoted.
During the absence Of the Secretary the able
Assistant Secretary, WM. l.. HODGE,, esq,
acts as SECRETARY ad interim.

surance that you will receive universal and sin
csre welcome in the State Of Maine.

Chief Magistrate OF the nation but there il no State
in tho Union which has deeper interest in the
wise administration of our common Government,
and mono which will more promptly recognise and
honor a truly national statesman.
The leading interests of our city depend greatly
upon the proper and harmonious adjustment OF all
the principles and the sympathies Of national
economy and policy.

terests Of different sections Of the country. This
duty, your part has boon faithfully discharged,

regret that my official engagements are such that
cannot allow myself the pleasure Of complying
