pondcnt without comment. We do
not suppose for second that lit bears
at all, on our own case {:
An incidental remark made in de-
bate at Albany, yesterday, shows that
the notion entertained by members
from the rural districts. Of removing
the Capital from Albany to point fur
thcr north, it is not yet abandoned
though the threat is used as a lash to
tinglc the raw of the members from
the southern and eastern portions Of
tho State. There is something in it
of more significance than a mere threat
The influence exertcd by great cities
on the business Of Legislation is an evil
often pointed out. and it would not be
surprising, if, in a very few years, the
collected wisdom of the Empire State
should find itsc'f assembled at Utica.
Albany, though over hundred miles
distant from the commercial capital,
is not considered far enough away from
pcrnicious influence Of the great Goth
ham.
The State Haper publ:shcdat Clinton
says, on the subject Of the removal OF
the Capital from this place, that" The
continued agitation Of the removal Of
the scat Of Government from Baton
Rouge to N. Orleans affords another
instance Of the greediness and monop-
olising spirit Of the latter city do they
ever expect to be Accommodated in Bat
on Rouge in that style which they seem
to desire. when they will give no en-
enlargement justifying suitable proper
atoms when they are etcrnally mouth
ing, grumbling and threatening. If
they do not like the place. the people
and the fare of Baton Rouge, why let
them stay at home, we presume that
mono Of them will be compelled to
come. and if they cant come, and at
tend to the public business without
grumbling about it, it would show good
sense in them to leave the public bust
ness to others who will think more Of
discharging their public duties and less
Of the few privations which they may
have to encounter.
The great interests of this state,
and the still greater republic have
never yet been, or ever will be. devel-
oped or advanced by the effeminatc
votaries Of luxury and SPLENDID ease,
at the public expense; such delicate
public servants make no impress upon
the country. they are but accidental
innovoters in the public service and
soon they must pass out of it leaving no
recollection or trace behind them.
We hope that men of stamina and good
sound sense will give no more atten-
tention to the senseless agitation Of
removeing the seat Of government.
We would caution our friends Of the
country against such useless and ex-
pensive measure it is one of the
schemes Of New Orleans to draw the
country more completely under its
power and control, and if successful,
its consequences and effects will be
sorely felt when it is to late to remedy
the evil.
