why the proprietor Of a town should not

Can money, designed for the use Of this

citizens of this Territory-some new
scheme FOR the furthcrance Of his and the
Interests Of a few, who are willing TO as

new evidence Of his determination to
control if possible, the Territorial Legis-
Iature, and centre in himself a power lii

TIE BUaLE AND GOV cuv1Ea

Our friend OF the Bugle seems 10 think
the Governor is one ofthe best Of men.
and the wisest Of rulers-and himself one
Of the most disinterested Of men-claims
to have been a "quiet locker on" while
The fierce struggle for the location Of the
Capitol was going on. 1t is very true the
struggle belonged 10 other points, and
should have been carried on by them
but SO far from this having been the case
the Bugle has been the foremost and III.
most desperate in the struggle for victory
Such has been the position Of the Bugle,
but il is not our intention 10 find fault
with the course pursued in relation TO The
CSpitol-but with hat never assumed
namely: that it has not been engaged in the
contest, and claims credit for having been
an unconcerned spectator.
We are told, also, that tie Capitol is
located at Omaha. We deny this state
ment, il Is not located at least il should
not be. If it is located, it is the work Of
a tyrant, and therefore null and void.
The Nebraska Bill does not require the
location Of the Capitol by the Governor.
The people are 10 control its location, and
hey are going TO locate ii where it suits
them best. as they have an u~nIoubted
right 10 do. AS We have repeatedly said
he Capitol is not located, and cannot he
located by the Governor any more than BY
a private citizen.
