The Capital.
(From the Weston Democrat.)

(FrOm the Weston Democrat)
The removal Of the State Capital to
some more eligible place than Charleston,
is now demanded by every consideration
Of the public interests. Charleston, the
present capital OF our young State, has
been tried and found wanting. 1t Is too
inaccessible, and too much out of the way.
The people Of new State, in this great
age OF progress, improvement and civili.
zAtion, demand aud require that their
State Capital should be at some central
and accessible place, where they can reach
1t without having to go around through
Ohio or Old Virginia 70 get there in dry
and cod weather. Population should and
must now be consulted. So long as we
have Republican government, majorities
must be respected. The Representatives
the creatures ot the constituent body Of
the voting masses, must obey their SOW.
ereign masters, or vacate the places and
give way for others who will. The
political ruSe that placed the Seat OF Gov.
ernment at Charleston to prevent q loca.
tion at another and central place, must
now be eEpun1ed from the statute books.
A new shuttle and new deal, under the
new order Of things, must now take
place. "Let justice be done, though the
heavens fall" Is the old Roman maxim.
Give US q location where o majority of the
people can reach their State Capital In
the shortest time and shortest distance,
and all will be well. Otherwise, storm
Of popular indignation will burst out
which will shake the very hair on the
heads OF tho peoples representatives. II
y permanent seat cannot be agreed upon,
let q temporary one be fixed upon for ten
years. We prefer Wheeling Tor the tenn.
porary seat, because oil her peculiar ad.
vantages at the present time, and the lib.
erAl offer made by her citizens to'provide
a most excellent State House and Offices
free Of charge, so long as the State may
want them.
To be or not to be, Is not at this time q
more vital question in which large ma.
jority Of the people OF West Virginia are
more seriously interested than the proper
location of heIrl State Capital. Indeed, II
Is only secondary 10 the stability and per.
manency Of their young State; and that
now having been assured, aud a new form
Of government decreed by the people, and
so guarded by limitations, upon lcgisla.
tive action, that life, liberty and property
can never again be triaed with, 1t is but
common justice to all the citizens Of the
State who contribute with their taxes 10
swell the public revenues, that the State
Capital bs located where the greatest
number wish it, and at some more con.
venient and accessible place than Charles.
