-Cannon of ths "twolve",nnd ninny oth
ers who have been long find f.ivorihly
known, at Council Lluffs and On the
froatiers, as among tho earliest pioneers.
We hot no hesitancy in expressing our
ticarty good will, nnd kindest wishes for
the welfaro of tlicso men, though, by
many, esteemed religious fanatics, for
.such self-denial, nnd devotion to the
dictate! of their religious belief as im
pels them to leave comfortable homes,
families, and firesides, and their various
ibdastrial pursuits, and bravo the linrd-
ahips and storing in crossing the moun
tains and deserts, and traveling ou foot
and otherwise by land and by sea.
Such persevering energy nnd industry
as the display should, at least, com
mand the respect and admiration of nil

yesterday morning. We wish him every
-reasonable success in obtaining the rights
-of bis constituents in Utnli-whioh, if
