DENVER CITY, Feb. %, 1871.
Ed. TRUE NoRrHERNER In this my tontn-
uous letter, | will tell you more OF the city Of
the plains. 1t has excellent common and high
schools; Wesleyan and Episcopal Seminary,
also Convent. They are large fine edfces
that would be an ornament to any eastern city.
There are wooden factories, foundres, two ma
tional banks, and several private banking
houses, iewery establishments, where they
manufacture fine native jewelry, etc. several
large and commodious hotels-in all some
three hundred places Of business OF various
binds.
The markets are unsurpassed; you will find
choice fruits ana fish from the Pacific coast,
besides meats OF home production, such as
Buffalo, Antelope, Mountain Sheep, Venison.
Rabbits, Fowls, etc. Real estate is very firm.
From the Araphoe County records from Dec
Goth, to Jan. GOTH there has been transfer Of
The trade of Denver for 1870, fpots up, Sill

secured some sixty thousand acres of land

There ls much public spirit manifested here
in identifying and making pleasant drives
around the city. There are now in progress
several large brick buildings and 1t is contem-
plated to build ten business blocks during
the summer at a cost of 81 100000 Plans are
being consummated for supplying the city with

This is a healthful and invigoratng climate

as gold seekers. The winds have = broad ex-
panse of country IN which to perform thsir

During the forenoon of the next day we do
voted to looking around generally. We visited
the various State offices, and also the Lansing
Democrat, the organ of the Democracy OF Ing
ham County. We found the proprietor genial
and companionsbe fellow, who let the office
and paper run themselves and Micawbsr-like
was waiting for something to turn up" to i'm
prove his and his papers prospects.
The hour for the assembling Of the Conven-
ton having arrived we repaired to Representa-
tive Hall for the purpose of attending to the
duties OF the mission for which we had been
sent. On the organization OF the Convention
it became apparent, as indeed it had been from
the first that a determined and persistent ef
fort was to be made against the re nomination
Of Judge Campbell, by the railroad interests
Professor Kent of Detroit was put forward
rius Monroe nominated the Hon. Charles Up
son; whereupon the opponents of Judge Camp
bell generally went over to his (Upson's)
support. 1t soon become apparent, however,
that the ma orlty Of the delegates were for the
denomination of Judge Campbell, who was
nominated on the first ballot by a very decided
majority.
The great struggle was on the nomination Of
Regents for the State University. Candidates
were not wanting and the scrimage was lively
finally resulting in the nomination of Claudius
b. Grant Of Ann Arbor and Charles Rynd Of
Adrian.
In the evening we all assembled again at
Representative Hall and listened to lecture
by Hon. Moses w. Field on the subject OF d
high Protective Tariff. The lecture was I'M
doubtedly highly satisfactory to the orator; but
lacked, in an eminent degree, that quantity
nearer. His premises were not well taken
and his statistics were Of a character not to
strengthen legitimat argument in favor Of
High Tarif-such as he appeared to advocate.
At tho close Of this lecture Of illogical gen
eralitIes, everybody repaired to the Lansing
House to attend she Governors Reception,
which was magnificent and expensive affair.
Five or six hundred people congratulated the
Governor and his estlmable wife and thereafter
partook Of sumptuous supper, gotten up in
the best and most SNOWY style, by mine host Of
the hotel. The tables we're handsomely and
richly decorated, and everybody seemed pleased
with themselves, the Governor, his wife, and
everybody generally. one feature Of the en-
tertainment the absence OF alcoholic or spirit
uous beversges-s long stride in the right
direction and the example should be followed
by all others.
