Letter from the State Capital.

AUGUSTA, Feb /, 1864.
To The Editor Of the Press
The business Of the legislature is going on
swimmingly. Committees are all hard at
work and every day furnishes matter for the
House and Senate to digest. The question of
removal Of the Capital to Portland which is
assigned for Tuesday is just now the all alb
sorbing question. The State paper is resort
ing to its usual unfairness in making partial
and perverted reports of the debate in order
to influence the action of the members on
the question which is to come up for decision.
On Thursday of last week quite debate was
had in the House on preliminary question
connected with the removal and finally the
bill ordered to be printed, and Tuesday of this
week assigned for final action upon it by
agreement of the friends and opponents of
removal. On Friday morning the bill was not
on the desks Of members and no report was
made Of the debate. Attention was called to
the matter which called out partial, one
sided report. Very full for those who op-
posed and very meagre and perverted for
those who favored the measure and leaving
out entirely the remarks OF Mr.. Porter OF Bur-
lington. No explanation was made as to why
the bill was not on the desks of members as
usual. The inference is irresistible that it
was to defer distributing it until Saturday
when most of the members are away and thus
keep the matter from the people as long as
possible. How long the members will submit
to be thus imposed upon by those employed,
to make fair and impartial reports oftheir pro-
cecding, for the purpose of influencing the
legislation OF the state remains to be seen.
The troops are leaving for the seat of war
as soon as they are in condition and are de-
pleted Of what money they have received for
bounties.
Col. Beal left Sunday morning in fine order
The Cavalry acted as escort and made fine
appearance. Capt. Twitchell's battery will
leave tomorrow.
The places made vacant by these troops
will be Immediately filled by recruits on the
new call so that the crowd will not be dimin-
ished. More anon, CUMBERLAND.

The Copperheads and Slavery.

We have said, and We repeat 1t, that the
last men in the United States to give up
slavery will be the copperheads of the North.
To this the Argus takes exceptions, and
threatens, unless we prove the statement
prove statement that looks to the unfolded
future for its verifcation. this is smart cor
manfully retract it" TO place us In the catego-
ry Of those unworthy the respect OF decent
men. II the Argus means by this that it can
force us into the disloyal position ii has long
occupied, and thus render us unworthy of a
decent mans respect, we have only to say
that it oyerestimates its power. We shall do
no such thing. There is no law of the COM
monwealth that will compel us to do SO. We
shall continue, as We have done heretofore, to
support the government, to oppose slavery
aud to fight treason; and for SO doing we
shall, as heretofore, incur the hostility of the
Argus, and continue to receive full share of
its abuse, for which we hope ever to be truly
thankful.
That PAPER says" by copperheads" it UNI
derstands the Press "to mean Democrats"
Egregious fallacyl BY coperheads we ncv-
er mean Democrats; no Democrat can be
copperhead; Democrat always stands by
his government, and will oppose to the death
all treason and traitors, and frown upon ey-
cry institution that rises up in opposition to
Union and Liberty, which, with him, are zone
and indiyisible, now and forever" The COP
perhead is only self styled Democrat, one
who, under the mask OF an honored name.
would stab his country under the fifth rib. 1t
is the man who believes in such doctrines as
are filtered through the Argus, and regards
II with favor. 1t il the man who feels no
blush of shame mantling his cheek when
found with the Argus in hand, and does not
feel called upon to apologize to honest men for
patronizing such an organ of disloyalty.
Such is the copperhead-a man either per-
yersely disloyal or so ignorant that he mis-
takes opposition to the government for lhstri-
otsmi aud that that man will be the last to
give up his hold upon slavery is as plain as
the sun in the midday heavens. The best
proof that such proposition is susceptible of
is found in the columns of that paper. which
growls and whines, mourns and slobbers.
ioams and RACES over every act calculated TO
weaken slavery, while it puts ON its blandest
smiles whenever that institution seems to
gain advantage, or when it can utter heart
less ribald joke at the expense OF the down
trodden and oppressed.

sE-The New Orleans Times In speaking
of the Importance of selecting the right man
for governor, says the State has great cause
for regret that the constitutional provision
requiring four years residence for eligibility,
stands in the way of Gov Shepley's retaining
the chief magistracy. Able, patriotic and
honest, he has labored zealously and eiiec-
lively for us. There is no one Of the long
list of Governors of this State to whom more
praise is due, and will be due from posterity,
for successful efforts to render enduring ser
vices to her. Did our laws admit it he would
be our first civil Governor; and the regret is
everywhere expressed that he cannot be. The
loyal electors would be relieved from all diff
Guilty as to their choice could his name stand

Ex-senator Grimes of Iowa, who has been
almost unanimously reelected for six years
from 1865, was born in New Hampshire, edu-
Gated at Dartmouth College, and removed to
Burlington, Iowa, in 1886. Two years later
at the age of 81, he was elected to the first
Territorial Legislature, and made Chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee. The Wings were
then in the minority, but returned Mr.. Grimes
for several terms. In 1854 he was renomin-
ated for Governor, made a most thorough
canvass, and was triumphantly elected. His
admins tration contributed much I, the pros
perity of Iowa, and was marked by rare abili-
ty. He is regarded as the father Of the present
Constitution of his State, the protector Of its
Lunatic Asylum, the founder Its noble sys-
