Capital Removal.

This question is not one to be set
tied by the desires Of certain class,
or locality, who have alone in view
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and convenience
of themselves at the expense of tho
State at large. The main question
to be discussed is Will it be accessi
BILE. more convenient. to the whole
of Louisiana, that the capital should
be located ut New Orleans, or at
Baton Rouge In our Judgment. its
present location is tho proper one.
1t would, to transport the scat
of onr State Government to tho
village of Baton Rouge, entail upon
the whole Commonwealth nm amount
of trouble and expense, that the fu-
ture pomposity and highcockalorum
OF sticktown would never pay

Only a few years ago John Bull
sneered at any butter or cheese from
Jonathan's country as " tough or
strong," but there is now a steady and
growing demand for American cheese
and butter in the English and Scotch
markets, as there is for American
meats. The annual consumption Of
cheese in England is 800 ,000, ,00o
pounds, or ten pounds for each in
habitant, while in the United States
it is only l60, 900. 900 pounds, or on
an average of four aud one-hali
pounds per head.
