Charleston the Permanent Capital

Charleston the Permanent Capital.
1t is claimed by the friends Of Par
kcr>burg Clnrksburg and other con-
testing points. that the act OF the l.cgis-
laturc permanently locating the seat
Of government for this State ut
Charleston, can be repealed by the
next Legislatures. I;ut We fear they
will find themselves mistaken. The
Constitution Olives, Virginia provides
that the scat Of government shall be

Of Daniel Lamb, Esq, who drafted tho

Of The Constitutional Convention. and
also, we understand, Of Judge Bcrk-

wicked Wava

We are under the painful necessity of
charging the Stokes organ with stealing
our thunder to eubserve the purposes Of the
devil. In its issue of yesterday it calls
upon its friends to rally to the support of
free government in the State, In order that
the aforesaid free government may not be
for time 30 badly crippled as to have to
60 on crutches. A paper devoted to the
continued Acknowledgement of large
majority Of the people of Tennessee
paper which continually talks as
though it's conductors thought colored
men the only citizens of the State
whose rights ought TO be respected, is not
the proper kind of paper, according to the
lights now before US, to call on its friends
to rally to the support of free government
or to boast of its adherence to the princi'
pies Of progressive republication. Rather
let the conductors of the Stokes paper a.
sert that they and their great champion
"Bald Billy" desire to see free government
and progressive republicanism going sid'
by side on crutches through all coming
time. When they speak out this, their rea
sentiment, we can give them credit 70
| candor, at least.

Beware of Bogus Tickets

Not satisfied with the appeals they have
made to the passions and prejudices OF the
ignorant, in order TO secure the success OF
their desperately wicked cause, nor yet
willing TO build hope of victory on the
importations of non-residents which they
have made TO participate in the election
to-day, the enemies of the people have
resorled TO the trick Of having tickets
printed in imitation Of those to be used by
the other side. On these tickets, samples
Of which are now before Ia, we observe
the names of all but one of the Conserva-
tive candidates. For this name is sub
stituted that of Stokes candidate for the
Legislature. Look out for these bogus
tickets, and warn your friends against
them. See that the ticket you vote con-
iains only the names of those properly
belonging on IL.

If it had been "Whiskey" instead OF
"Lethe" we would not have been surprised
at the raid he made upon it. The editer
regards it as a hopeful sign eviucing a

literature is SO cheap, it must be very

An Immigration Move.

A company has recently been organized
by the Germans at Cincinnati, under the
name of the Tennessee Homestead Society,
for the purpose of purchasing lands in this
State, and giving to each shareholder a
farm of from eighty to one hundred and
fifty acres. The initiation fee has been
fixed at $40, which sum is TO be set aside
for building saw mill in the vicinity OF
the colony 10 be occupied by members OF
the society. Each member also contrib
utes 81 so per week, which goes into the
treasury, and will be used in the purchase
of the lands. The Society now numbers
two hundred, and the Tennessee fever is
running high.
