The Capital Question.


This capital question is one to which
We wish TO call the attention OF the
whole people. Hitherto the masses OF
the people have appeared TO care but
Verv little about the location OF the seat
of government. They have been indit-
fprent upon this subject while IL has
been the cause of their Legislators do
ing much that was detrimental to their
own interest Mind we do not accuse
all of the members of the Legislature
or even a majority OF them of having
been influenced by this Capital ques. .
lion, nut we do say that ii, combined
with other local questions, has caused
much improppr Legislation, and the peO-
pie must take the question in hand.
They must see that its baleful influences
are ended. They must urge their legls-
latOTs to settle the question and not per-
NIT it longer to stand in the way OF
every thing else-not let ii remain in the
Legislature as II Iog-rOllinR machine.
Heretofore some OF our legislators have
gone up to Wheeling, regarding the
CnuitnI question as a kind OF stock III
trade that they had II legitimate right
to make the most OI they could. DINERS
have gone there, determined to control
their actions entirely in such manner
a. to make votes for their place for the
Capital. II is not difficult TO see the re-
suit OF such Il state OF affairs. IT votes
could be procured Tor certain place rs
the seat of government, 1t mHttcred not
with some what injustice and wrongs
were inflicted upon other portions OF
the State. That suCh has been me hc-
tuml condition of affairs during the past
two sessions of the Legislature, we
presume no person who has kept him
self posted in regard to the proceedings
OF that body, will deny. Let this state
OF affairs be ended by locating the Cupi-
tai, and let the convenience OF the peO-
pie be consulted, and locate il in Clarks-
burg.
REV. Mr.. DALI, the Unitarian mis-
sionary at Calcutta, in describing the
way OF life in summer, with the Their
10 $50 in the night, says that wnkeful-
ness is the exception and browsing the
rule. The poor, old or young, who
brings YOU IL not" from his "master,"
no sooner delivers il than he filings him
self on his back, at full length, ana IL
sound asleep in three.quhrters OF
minute; so that it is hard to arouse MN
il you are five minutes pennlnS your
reply.
USQUEsTIoSABIY within ten years {"
great change has taken place regarding
labor; but the New York Tribune, we
think, rather exnggerates when it says:
"The majority of mechanics make
more money than the majority of pro-
fessional men; and common Iaborers
| get more money than clerks. In ten
years more the difference will be still
| greater. We look TO see labor rise to
the dignity Of the professions, when,
perhaps as much will be paid for split
ting IA hundred rails as for preaching a
Sermon"

CoSSISTESCN is not one oi the le"elS
of Conservatism. Down East we lind
one OF the shining lights Of the party
publishing paper whose sole object Is
TO convert the people to thu principle oil
the taxation of United States bonds.
The " Bond Taxer" omits news, eschews
the bAser issues OF me'esp1rty politics,
and gives its columns entirely TO this
one subject of national interest. Nor Is
the theme wholly partiZah one. Some
sensible men of all parties, though re-
cognizing the pledge givenlby the Gov
eminent when it was Obliged, by hook
or crook, to get money, are casting
about for some means oil equaliZing
taxation upon all property, and i'll
future issues of Government stocks OF
making them liable, like everything
else, TO taxation for government sup
port. This subject was even broached
at the late extra session Of Congress.
Mr.. washburne, of 1ndianat introduced
the following resolution:
"ResO{Ued, That the burdens of the
Government should be bOrpe equally;
that taxation should I've in proportion
to property held; that exemption oil
auy material portion of tho wealth OF
this country from its due proportion OF
taxes is wrongful, unjust, and should
bl. avoided; and to carry out these
views the right to tax bonds OF the
Government should he given i'll any
future system of funding said bonds
or course this ignorant resolution
evoked discussion, some members con-
tending that it swas not keeping faith
with the holders of Government bonds.
Mr.. Washburne, however, expressly
denied his intention OF interfering with
any contracts already madet-a princi-
p!e which the discussion showed WIS
held by all. But the NdtiOndl Htciti-
genccr, forgetting that bond taxation is
conservative plank in the platforms OF
the Maine Democracy first declares that
the scheme for taxing Government Sc
curities is rank reputation, and :hen
that this is what the radicals" are
after. Quoting the resolution and dis
cussion above referred to, the htelh-
0encer says:
The work of reputation sind confis-
cation, so prOnisingly begun, Will UNI
doubleday be prosecuted AT the next
session. II amounts to a general sys-
ten OF division of proPerty)in accord
ance with the principles OF what Mr..
Wade considers as radical righteous
ness" The property of individuals is
TO be absorbed by the radical rulers.
In this great game it is easy TO see that
the government will get nothing, and
that the people will lose everything.
The usurping radical demngDgues will
sweep the bOard."
We confess that we are unable to see
in the discussion even support of
bond taxation. Where the L4:ettigemcer
finds its general system of division
"of property" and Senator Wade's
agrarianism, is entirely beyond our
comprehension, except upon tae ground
that the desperate needs OF conservh-
tism require desperate shifts TO sustain
its fortunes.
