THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.

the long agony is over" Mr. Fisk of
New York ha, introduced into the House Of
Representatives a proposition to enquire in.
to the the expediency of 4 temporary Reno
val Of the Seat of Government from the Civ
OF Washington. which proposition for enuui
ry has been AGREED TO and a commit
tee pointed accordingly.
LII is subject on which we cannot
speak as we feel without risking the impn.
tation OF disrespect to that elevated Body,
which we have ha5itually held in the grea
test veneratioD. We will therefore only re
mark, that, If we could Anticipate its even
tual success, we should for our own part
have regarded with as much consideration
proposition to enquire into the expedien
cy u spunging off the whole public debt. as
such proposition as this, which. on every
consideration of principle. policy aud huma
nifty. must be revolving tn the feelings of nine
tenths OF the people of the " States.
we are therefore happy in being able to
assure our readers generally. and our city
patrons M particular, that after the deve-
lopement OF Yesterday, they have no cause
to appfehend any thing from the projects
which appear to be on foot AGAINST the per
mauency Of tn seat of government. There
cannot, we trust, be found majority of The
popular branch to vote for removal of the
government; and, II there can, we we'll
known that there will always be found one
uiird OF mat body firm enough to support the
Executive IN refusing his signature to law
m ~, win such dangerous consequences.
The greatest evil of such proceedings. which
promise no success to their movers is In
ther certain injury to the People Of this CT.
W and District, who are far from deserving
such treatment at the hands of their constiS
tutional protectors.
