A paragraph in last weeks paper. In
relation 10 the organization Of an i'm
migration meeting here, made US say,
III the people Of the Northern States
were acquainted with the true cendi'
ton Of things here, that this county
would be decimated Of its population
in a few years by immigration here. .
Instead Of this comfy, it should read
these tStote'; and It's population should
read their population. We had4aken O
trip ofpleasure to that nice little town,
Jasper, and did not read the proof
sheet, hence the erra,um. While at
Jasper, VIC "put up" with our incom.

tofore given him the credit for the ex-
eellency of that hotel. but seeing things
in their true light, we find the "better

Removal Of the National Capital

Removal Of the National Capital.
Western papers are again urging the
necessity Of removing the National
Capital to some point nearer the Mis-
sissippi valley. They declare that the
completion Of the Pacific Railroad
brings the Pacific coast nearer to Chi.
oago, St. Louis or Omaha than to the
city of Washington. Hence we may
anticipate pretty strong pressure from
California. Oregon, Nevada, together
with the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
States yet to be organized, in connec-
ton with the power of the older West.
ein States In favor of such q project.
Eut it is all idle TO talk about the old
or new West becoming for at least
half century the centre Of civilization
and enlightenment on this continent,
whatever it may be geographically.
Steam and electricity have recently
brought all sections Of the country into
= closer alliance than ever before, but
no change Of the government capital

The great want of this age is men
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest sound from csntrd to cir

Men who will condemn wrong in friend
or foe, in themselves as well a. others
Men whose consciences are as steady
as the needle 10 the pole. Men who
will stand for the right If the heavens
totter and the earth reels. Men who
can tell The truth and look the world
and the devil right in The eye. Men
that neither fog nor finch, Men who
can have courage without shouting to

Men who do not cause their voices 10

not fail nor be discouraged till judg.

ing Of May 22d, at the Capitol in Nash
Vile, ! heard a speech from General
Stokes, in which he said "that in his
opinion the time had come when the
enfranchisement Of the DISTINGUISHED in
Tennessee should be commenced" On
that same evening l heard Gov. Senter
say, in his speech, "that the time was
far distant when he should advocate
universal suffrage" On the morning
Of the 22d my letter you refer to was
written. ! supposed the gentlemen
had taken their sides, but it seems they
decided to swap horses before they
took full start. On June 18th, wrote
an address to the citizens Of Lincoln
and Franklin counties, giving in my
full opinion on the issues Of the can
7ass. On tue 5th, at the Capitol, the
canvass commenced; and in the Press
