,hos the assumed fact thu. the negro

ably true. The master having lost his
slave and his title 10 ownership, is not
particular as to what becomes Of him.
Thi. is true OF the masses: there are
exceptions. But should VT grant both
facts alleged to be true, we ask these
Confederate editors why they fought

Tie Capital Again.

TaEKR Is no question, wc suppnsc
in any ones mind in regard to the
moaning OF the section Of the Con >ti'
tuition establishing the Capital Of The
State. II any gentleman who enter,
tains cxtrcne doubts of the matter
would take tho trouble to read the
Constitution he will fud that the PIG
section Of An. ": says:
THAT the seat Of government shnl!
be at the city Of Wheeling. until Il per,
nanent seat of government be esiab-
lished by law" yo--',...'
-.. That Ia the declaration Of the Con-
stitution. The next question is, has n
permanent location been established
By law? .
There eau be no doubt Of that. for
tho act passed. in relation thereto de-
clarcd Charleston to Be the permanent
location Of the Capital. ....
Thus has boon fulfilled all the re-
quircments Of the Constitution In re-
gard to this business. The difficulty
appears to. be with those gentlemen
who contend that tho act in question
50 simple act Of the Legislature and
a, such Is susceptible Of repeal and
amendment. We're this 50, the action
OF. the Legislature might be revoked.
But that this ism OF the case in relation
to the Capita. is evident from the
fact that the location, of q perma.
nent Capital was provided for by tho
trainers Of the Constitution, and tina,
when the Legislature acted on the
question mud fixed on place that that
action became part Of the Constitution.
Suppose, for instance, THAT instead Of
Wheeling" being inserted in the par:
Iagtaph quoted above, the francis of
the Constitutions had inserted "Clark-
burg and that the Constitution lad |
been no submitted to the people audi
ratified BIZ them, does. anybody sup.
pose that tho Legislature could by any
means have repealed, altered or amen
ded the verdict thus" rendered. We
think not They would not have at.
tempted anything Of tho sort. Blu,
because they loft part Of the work to
be performed by the Legislature, and
which that body has now performed, /!
therefore, tho Legislature can undo |
what it hsS done. Don't you sec how !
ridiculous such an assumption is? AS;
tho law now stands, It became on i,s |!
passage apart of the Constitution and
can no more be affected by tho action /;
of the next or any subsequent LcsislA-
turc than can any other portion Of that
instrument. 1t is decisive, and must
stand until repealed or,amended in the
some manner as any other portion OF!
tho instrument Of which 1t forms Il
part, must be repealed or amended.
