cali fora National Convention,

The following has been issued:
The Constitution OF the United
States makes no acknowledgement OF
Almighty God, the Author of nations
existence nor of Jesus Christ, who is
the Ruler OF Nations nor Of the Bible, g,
which is the fountain OF law aud good
morals as we'll as of religion. This
has from the beginning been matter
of deep regret. II may have hecn an
oversight, but it was, and it is, both
an cri or aud an evil 1t does not re-
fleet the views of the grca' majority Of
the people upon these great matters.
II di,honers God. 1t ia inconsistent
with the character of nearly all our
State constitutions, and with all the
prccclents of our early history. 1t has
introduced, or furthered. views and
measures which are now struggling
for u banciul ascendaucy in State and
national politics. such as That civil
government is only n social compact ;
tha, it exists only for secular and ma
'eral not tor moral ends that Sab
bath laws are unconstitutional, and
that the Bible must be excluded from
our public schools. II is easy to sec
that laws for the prevention Of flntem-
perencc, blasphcmy, impuIi'y, or cruel.
". may be objected to on the same
grounds. Aud indeed we may expect
that law itself will be defined to be
the mere advice to the majority, with
no proper penalty but the disappro'
baton of the public.

Just after dark large crowd, nun
bering fully 500, gathered around the

took he keys from the sheriff aud put
him undcr guard. The mob tben en-.
tered the Jail, seized a prisoner, whom
they supposed TO be the murderer got
rope around his neck, and then dis
covered tha, they had the wrong man.
Ia the mean slime the murderer,
who was ia another cell, chained TO

iron bar aud as the leader Of the mob
appeared to open the cell door, he
warned them that he would sell his

produced change OF action, but did
not defeat the purpose Of the leaders,
and pistol shot through the head Of

Removal OCthc Nation al
(nuilal.

Frantic efforts are being made by
parties 10 the West, to have the Ma
tional Capital removed thitber. In re.
Cerance to this matter the New York
Sun says:
1t is probable that the removal Of
the Capital to st. Louis, Chicago, or
Cincinnati, would at once give to eith-
er of these places such 40 impetus in
growth and trade, aud such an ad-
vantage over their neighbor', as to
make 1t the greatest of our internal
cities. No other Western towo would
have any advantage over Washington
in point Of accommodation for Con-
gre, smen and transient visitors.
Judging from the police reports, either
of those p'ac' will now compare Ia
yornble with New York in the quaint.
ty and plurality of crime, or in other
terms, with the elements which 60 ic
make up the mob. The d'moralizing d
influences of the National Capital
would rapidly bring il up to the high
est mark in this respect.
1t would be well Tor the country moi
to lose sight Of these considerations
There are enough corrupt influences
already at work on the Government
Notwithstanding the iuacccssibility o
Washington aud its alleged deficiency
in hotels, lpdginp houses and aristo-
cratic society. Rome Controlled thC
Empire. Paris controls Frauce. Lon
don controls England Let it never
be said that tho Federal Capital con
trols America.
