REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL-O On
Saturday last our contributor y in his
'Jottings,' unknown to US and entirely
without our appreciation, introduced
Representative Myers resolut ion for tbs
removal of tie State Capital to Philadel-
phia, with approving comments. ,Alo
though not responsible for his utteran-
ces or opinions, We feel deeply mortified
that our columns have been so used.
~ is Philadelphian, and speaks from
that standpoint, entirely disagree with
him and MIR. Myers. There is abso
lutely no good, reason, in our opinion, for
such removal. s-. .....
The resolution of Mr.. Myers was en-
tirely uncallcd tor, an / we are surprised
that he "a Democrat-should SO readi'
ly fall in with the Radical mania for
change-for. leaving that which has
been tried aud is,good, for that which
is untried and Of questionable utility.
Democrats should be conservative in
action as well as in principle.
The State Capital is very we'll where
it is. The public buildings have re-
Gently been enlarged and improved and
the grounds have been enclosed with a
costly iron fence and beautifed to such
an extent as to be credit to the Com.
monwealth. The location is central and
of easy, convenient and speedy access
from the north, south, east and west by
meaDs Of five railroads which radiate
from Harrisburg in seven main lines,
with which almost very branch railroad
in the State connects. Ten hours trav
eI suffice to get to the extreme western
boundary, and from four to seven hours
to the lines of New Jersey, New York
and Maryland Members therefore,
can spend their Sundays at home, which
many OF them could not do if change
should be made. True, there do not
exist here the same enormous corrupt.
ing Influences of wealth that Philadel
phia possesses, nor that immense popu.
Iation in which the moral delinquencics
of pleasure seekers may be completely
covered up; hut, though lacking these
TO same legislators potent considera,
tons--Our city possesses every Other
merit aud ADVANTAGE which honest, mor,
al and upright law makers should desire

MONDAY, FEBRUARY ls, 1867.

what we have seen during the last twelve
months, it is folly to maintain that En-
gland has nothing to dread from Fenlanlsm.
The organization known by that name Is un-
Questionably power, and it is power because
it has sprung from a sentiment deeply rooted
i'll the Irish heart. England, by the confession
of some of her own most patriotic and worthy
sons, has greatly wronged the Irish; and, what
is worse, she shows little or no disposition to
apply a remedy to the evils which her policy
has inflicted on Ireland. So long as she con
tinues to pursue that policy, so long Ireland VIII
be a thorn in her side. The Fenian organiza-
ton is but an accident. 1t may be crushed out;
it may fall to pieces any day. But that sense
Of injustice which the wrongs of Ireland has
awakened in the breasts of Irishmen Will have
a vitality commensurate with the reign OF op-
preston and injustice.

NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE,

Of the seeded States to take the steps neces-
gary for its restoration to self-govenment on
the one hand and to representation in Con
gress on the other. Had it been passed year
ago. we believe every State would have been
represented in the XLth Congress from the
outset.
1t is easy to cavil and to criticise. We could
wish. most certainly that our own simple plat
form of Universal Amnesty with Impartial Suf-
frage had been made the basis of this propo-
sition, We think that would have been more
polite as well as more generous than the con-
ditions actually proffered. We could wish, too,
that this bill had not only provided way by
which the seeded States might resume their
forfeited prerOgativcs, but had prescribed
that they should do so-directing how and
when elections should be held and conventions
assembled for the purpose. But We have not
insisted that Congress should initiate and pro-
vide for Reconstruction in oar way, but In some
way. Mr.. Sherman's bill is a great step in the
right direction and decided improvement on
the two bills it superSedeS We hope to
chronicle its final passage at very early day.
