Removal OF the Capitol.

JEThe Lynchburg Republican suggests
the expectancy Of removing the Capitol of
Virginia from Richmond to some more
healthy and central position. and names
Lynchburg as the place. We cannot say
tha, we are decidedly in favor Of remov-
ing the capitol at all, but il it should be
removed, Staunion. and not Lynchbur9 is
the place. From Its central positlon-the
great facility Of reaching tits growing
importance asa city Of commerce--,he
largencss Of many Of its inhabitants, and
the general reputation of the people and
the city, all combine in lis favor with
force of argument impossible to resist
Here we would be IN reach of the tower
ing cliffs Of the North and Blue Ridge
Mountains, whose sublime scenery might
awake the slumbering poetry of numerous
Rip Van Wrinkles, empowered to leg,s-
late for the Stale. Here, too, lie those
glorious old bills Of West Augusta, where
Washington would have rallied around the
standard of liberty the sons of Freedom to
resist the march Of the invading foe, which
fact nigh! have considerable influence
upon the imagination of some youthful
Demosthcnes. If any aspiring young man
should desire t. follow The example Of the
orator from Randolph, aud snatch from its
high abode some tall mountain peake, and
hurl it Indignantly iuto the Atlantic, II
would only be necessary for him to reach
forth his hsnd and grab one Of the nume-
rous crags 10 sight. Here, too. we have
a number OF distilleries of the best Wits
key in the country. and another being
completed. Aud last, but DO, least, the
country could be saved from the mad rant
ing Of lunatic members by placing them
under the charge Of DR.. S,libling with
instructions to prescribe three times pei
day until cured Can Lynchburg offer as
favorable inducements? We opine not.
