CANNON ClTY.-Amoug the returning wanderers
who left here last fall, W notice Mr.. OF .Corwin, unlike
the rest, however he wisely kept within his own State,
and has no cause to regret it. He has been visiting his
friends 10 the vicinity Of Cannon City, and found the
people in that region worthy Of the fertile and beaati-
fsl spot on which they are located. They did not 4.
lows themselves to be oppressed with gloomy fselibgs
on account Of the prostration Of the commercial world,
bat with a confident and cheerful hope in the future,
they enjoyed the blessings they had in store, and inside
the past winter even more gay aud pleasant than usual.
Mr.. Corwia extended his visit to various towns back
and along the Minnesota river, and everywhere found
the people cheerfully enjoying themselves, and no~ise
disheartened at the temporary embarrassment il bust
ness, so seriously affecting their Eastern friends. Food
has been abundant and cheap all along, owing 70 the
fine crops harvested last year. Our own settlers speak
in ~extolling terms Of Minnesota, and have great faith
in her future prosperity.
When our friend left, bust ness was being resumed
and ~emigrants coming in buildings were being ereossd
and mills set agoing, and trade becoming brisk. When
the railroads are built through that region, Fari-
bault, Cannon City and Mortified, will all rise to i'm.
portance, far exceeding anything yet in the interior,
and one of them, which is not certain. must becomne. an

THE PRESS ON THE SPECIAL MESSAGE.

We publish this morning number Of extracts
from the democratic press of the country upon the
special message of the President enclosing to Con-
gress the Lecompton constitution. We might fill
our paper many times with similar opinions from
our side of the question: and in some instances from
that of the opposition. We have no desire to add
comments to what is presented so well by our coem-
porarcs The question involved is ofproiound in
terest to the country and we feel sure that the more
the attitude of the administration upon it is
ined and criticised, the more will public sentiment
endorse and sustain the which had been
marked out. The great effort of tho party and the
government has been to remove fretful and dis
trbing element from politics This it is proposed
to accomplish by clothing the people of Kansas
with the habilimcnts of sovereignty. A measure SO
liberal to them, so just to all parties and neces
sary TO the peace Of the country, is met neverthe
less, by violent, factious, and secpcss opposition
