SEAT or GovERSMEsr-lti is rumored that the Pre-
sdent and the heads OF departments intend to remove
back 10 Austin IN the Of few weeks. The ca
bInet officers, we understand have all united in favor
oil this measure and are strongly urging the PRESIDENT
TO return. We believe there is but one opinion upon
this subject among the people, aud that is, that he
ought to return to the legitimate capitol of the Re
public. The causes that induced him TO remove from
Austin having ceased TO operate, easona
BILE excuse Tor his remaining a. Washington. According
TO his own declarations the hostile tribes Of Indians are
disposed TO remain al peace and the President Of Next
co has agreed 10 give due notice before hosites will
be resumed by him. consequently the contingency de-
sgnaIed IN the Constitution for the removal Of the Off
GERS OF The departments, no longer exists
we believe there is mol man 10 be found who Will
now admit that there is any emergency now existing,
winch requires those officers 10 be removed from the
seat OF Government 10 avoid danger from an enemy;
and as the Constitution only authorses the President
10 remove them I'm cases OF emergency in the time OF
war, lie cannot withoua violation of the Constitution
refuse TO return with the heads Of Departments the
