A Stste Temperance Convention
was held at Crestline on the 14th
and 18th inst, and it is announced
that State Convention, under the
exclusive control Of the Temper
ance organization, is to be called at
Columbus to put in nomination
candidates for State offices. Now
we trust that the intelligence of our
temperance friends generally will
not allow them to commit such a
palpable and objectionable folly as
this would be. Such movement
can only result in a victory for the
Democracy, and most deplorable
disaster to the cause they would pro-
mote. Our earnest advice to our
Temperance friends, who may de-
sire to accomplish any permanent
good, is for them to work for the
cause in their proper sphere. We
are opposed to dra ~ging questions
of temperance and religion into the
political arena.

THE Cincinnati Commercial, of
the 10th inst, in lengthy editorial,
advocates the removal of the nation
al Capitol to New York City, and
gives some very good reasons in
support of the proposition; but, in
our opinion, one might as well
talk of locating the moon in New
York as the Capitol Of the Repub-
lie.
When the national Capitol is
relocated, and we doubt not this
will be done before many years, it
will be to some more central place
Of the Republic. 1t will move
Westward and not Eastward.
