REMOVE THE CAPITAL Since the scenes Of
violence which have characterized the presen
Congress, tactly encouraged as they have been
by the people and authorities of Washingl on
city, the desire is growing in the North to have
the Capitol removed; and the late brutal as.
sault upon Mr.. Sumner, ending in the semi.as
sassin being held to bail in the paltry sum of
500, the desire has broken out into a general
demand, which will sooner or later be heard
The seat of tie National government should be
where freedom of speech can safely be toler.
ated, where men can traverse the streets with
some degree OF personal security and where
murderers and cowardly cut-throats cannot run
at large to frighten day and night from their
proproty, This cannot be had at Washington
City. Free speech is not allowed there, and
Northern men who stand up there for the
rights Of the people, do il with vision of
bludgeons and bowie knives dancing before
their eyes. The northern Senator who does his
duty there is beaten within an inch of his lira
and the Congressional assailant goes free: the
editor who speaks his mind is brntaIlv knocked
down, and the member of the House who as-
saults him goes unpunished !; and another
member, who bears upon his hands the stains
OF murder passes unrebuked by his colleagues
and finds his offence palliated by the ministers
Of the law. It's plain, therefore, that Wash
ngton City isnot the place for the capitol OF a
great, manly republican nation. The seat Of
government must be removed. There is an a.
bundance of places in the heart orthe free west
where all who have occasion to visit the capi.
lol will be secure in life and limb, where men Of
all sections will be free to discuss all questions
without the restraint Of bodily fear, and where
prisons are provided for murderers and bullies.
The Capitol must be removed, or else cease to
become city Of refuge to murderers and COW.

Big Gun

Joe Billings, . rOmaneiOg Yankee, was one
evening seated in the bar-rOoms Of a country
Gvsrn in Canada. where were several of bis
pld cOuntryuen, discussing various matters con-

them stated that the British government pos
sessed the largest cannon in the world-aud
gave The dimensions Of one he had seen.
JOs's Yankee pride would no, allow him to
let such an assertion pass uncOntradicIed.
