TRIED wlth. or that ths plghsea faith u tie
state can ever b. violated by any Lerisla-
tBre. The gentleman from Augusta haE re-
sorted 10 another topic which was extreme.
y sorry 20 hear. that of the improper iaHu.
ence Of Portland cannot bring my mind
70 belief that the mcmbers Of the Legisla-
ture, or the inhabitants of Portland have
been or ever will become 80 degraded a. 10
merit such insinuations, which I have nov
Cor the FIRST time heard, and which ! believe
% Be utterly groandsess.
fcannoi conceive that the interest Of the
State viii be IN any degree promoted By tx
ing the seat Of government on the spot 81
land conveyed By this deed. II Is described
as one third Of mile from Augusta village,
and still farther from that OF Hailowell, and
every oae knows the difscuIiy Of procuring
comfortable lodgings when a large plumber
OF visitors are suddenly crouded toto villages
"a small population, and the competition Is 80
limited that the expenses are always much
greater than 10 larger towns.
But is there any need Of taking tho ques-
ton now New tswus are constantly inul-
uplying on our Northern and Eastern territory
and i Augusta is central now. where will be
the central point fifty years hence
Our buildings are sufficiently commodious
for all the purposes OF legislation and il will
be recollected that the Old State House in
Boston served for their use until about Is
years ago.and the state OF New Hampshire did
not End il necessary 70 fix their seat Of govern
ment until about seven years since. The
Governor has recommended economy as a
public virtue, but shall we show much regard
20 this sentiment by putting ourselves 10 a
way 10 exrend thousands Of dollars in addition
10 The 10000 dollars debt we now owe, when
we are already well enough provided for with
out expense
But the public sentiments oy no means yet
settled as to the best and most convenient place
for permanent seat Of Government. Even
the committee who have reported 10 favour
Of Augusta seem to be quite as much satisfied
with Wiscasset, if maritime town should be
preferred; aud on the other hand Waterviie Is
said by many to be much mere central point
than Augusta. Since then the population o!
Maine is so fuctuating and so many rival
places are already 10 competition with the one
proposed hope the whole subject will be al
rest until some more powerful reasons COM
pelus to fix upon permanent place, as our
future capital.
I'VE are obliged to defer the remainder Of this
debate until our Hsrt.
