when that i settled il will be time 10
take up the state Capital.
CAPTAIN Dennis characterized the
speech OF the Senator from Taylor u
sectional and undemOcratic." He said
that II the friends of Wheeling wanted 10
yyecipitate matters, he was for rallying
the forces who would stand brave
ly by the wishes of the people ex-
pressed al the polls and remove the
Capital from Wheeling tomorrow.
lie thought the amendment had
nothing 10 DO with the Capital.
The two wears provision for the draw

That they meet only biennially, il wa,
reasonable % alter the time 10 three

the money appropriated for the erection
Oi the Charleston State House.
Dennis asked if he did not mean 10
cripple the law referred 80, and Indirect
Is defeat the will vi the people in the

ridiculous % commence To- repair and
alter tine building at Charleston six
years before it can be- used, when the
Wheeling capital was constructed m t1to
i'm less than one year.
Mr.. Faulkner, though a disintercstcd
party, wanted To- explain why he should
vote AGAINST the amendments. He had
voted Tor the bin with his eyes wide
opyn, and the people, with their ewes
Wide open. and in good iaith had or
drrgI the removal; and he proposed To
stand hv their choIcr.
Mr. Adams opposed the amendment
of Nr. Woods, and spoke at some length,
AMI with force. After speaking some
time, Captain Dennis interrupted him,
anil Adams announced that he hat
risen with the intention oi maEinga long
speech. but aS his colleague, the Senator
from Grccubricr, had told him tn ",it
