We have considered it a prOpOs ut
this time to throw some light upon
the Capital question, although it has
been settled in favor of Baton Rouge.
The Constitution of 1845, in Art.
ll2, states that the seat Of Government.
shall be .f;aed at some place not less than
Sirty miles from, the City Of Ne'c Or
leans. We will not attempt to repro
duce the reasons that actuated the IL
lustrious men,-many Of whose names
will ever he a precious heirloom in our
State,-to adopt such a measure. A
mere enumeration Of their names, will
in itself bear the guarantee that their
action was wise and patriotic. We

of that Convention .

THE NEW ORLEANS AND PACIFIC
RAIL ROAD.

We have learned from reliable sour
ces that this road is being rapidly and
earnestly pushed to it's completion.
There can be no doubt now Of the en-
tire success of this great enterprise.
When completed this line viii I've one
the best paying routes in the South,
and one of vital Importance to the
Crescent city and to the rich and fer
tile country it will traverse. To
Baton Rouge, it means regular and
rapid communication with the coast
parishes and New Orleans, Il point
of our city. We will also have access,
by this line to the Red River Valley
and the entire road system of Eastern
Texas. A branch of five miles in
length or ferry boat will easily con-
meet us with tie main trunck passing
about a mile west of the river at
Bruly Landing, in West Baton Rouge
Our city becomes naturally the OBJ
.jective point for our Clinton neighbors
to reach, if they too,-as we have no
doubt they do-desire to obtain rapid
transit for their merchandise and pas
sengers to the principal highways Of
commerce.. 1t is evident therefore,
that the trade of that productive
section of country lying between the
Mississippi and the Jackson road,
must now seek its river terminus
here, in order to effect its connection
with the Pacific route. Steamers ply
ing from Bayou Sara and points
North of us will also necessarily have
a terminus at this place.
1t requires but ordinary perception
to see that the location that nature
has provided for our city, is about to
turn the scale of prosperity to on.
doors. With the restoration of the
Capital, and the road and steamer
connections above mentioned, it can
not be doubted that Baton Rouge is
soon to become a central and impor-
tant commercial point.
1t beilOOves our citizens however
to he alive and doing, in order that

achieving these ends may be taken

are easily changed and swept away;
principles never!
While we point to what we deem to
be the interests of country and State,
we win not forget that our first duty
is to develop the resources of our
vicinity. We will sound the call re-
peatedly and untiringly whenever in
our opinion the prospect is favorable
to the achievement of some public
good.
We will not wait until others have
opened the way to speak out boldly
our ideas. The CAP1ToL1AN will ring
it's own chimes. We will also labor
to unite our people and endeavor to
prevent strife. To further this latter
object we will avoid personalities, so
detrimental to the concord of a COM
munity.
We will strive to render the CAPT
ToLIAN attractive and useful to the
housel1eeper. the farmer, the merchant,
the mechanic and the professional
man. BY these means we hope to
receive the material support and en-
dorsement of the public of this city
and section; public that we have
always found to be brave, liberal and
kind.
In entering the open field of honora-
BILE competition, we extend to our
brethren Of the press the right hand
of fellowship. We can assure them
that the remarks, that we may from
time to time have occasion to address
to them, will be marked with that
courtesy that should characterize
journalists, whose aim it is to elevate
the profession, as well as to merit the
esteem of their patrons and readers.

Left Lines Of men clad i'll blue are
formed in the suburbs of the city. A
fleet of war ships is aligned i'll the Mis-

cannoneers are ut their posts. The
vessels are there to cover and aud the
movements of the land forces. Sud
denly. at the dawn of day, the still
ness Of the scene is brol>en-vOlley
after volley of nusl>etry is heard, soon
followed by heavy discharges OF ord
nance. 1t is the attacl1-the attempt
to recapture the State Capital. The
heroic breckenridge is there with his
stalwart and unfaltering kentl,ckians,
closely followed by the patriotic Allen,
who leads his gallant Louisianians in
the onslaught. The rest is known.
The attack has failed, and the devoted
band sullcnly retires from the field.
The earth is tinged with the life blood
of the contending hosts.
Months have elapsed. The capitol
building is now a prison house. Sen
tries are visible at every entrance,
watching over captive citizens and
soldiers of Louisiana. The magnifi-
cent editice is in morning attire its
beauty is nov dimmed. Soon the
torch of the incentliary will do its
work. On Il December day, one that
Baton Rougeans will always remeln-
Der with the deepest anguish, the alarm
of fire is sounded, and from one OF
the towers Of Louisiana's Capitol,
the lulid flames are seen to emerge
high above it. The fire fend will
have done with his prey. Thank
God for it, the wall and towers are
left standing. There they are as
firmly rooted as ever. The demon OF
destruction has spared them. The
people of Baton Rouge are consoled.
They look to an early day, when the
war will have ceased, to see the Capt.
tol restored in all its splendor. Alas,
they have reckoned without their
hosts!
On Wednesday April the 9Th 1864,
so the records show-"A communica-

THE DELEGATES TO TIE CON-
VENTION

the people to select three delegates to
represent the parish in the Constitu-
tiUna! Convention. These delegates
will be expected to advocate the pop
ul,.r demands for Il thorough reform
of our government. These consist:
First-in the establishment of all
unnecessary offices, and Il reduction
of salaries of public officials to Il prop
er basis.
Secondly-in an adjustment of the
public Indebtedness in Il manner that
will be equitable alike to IT, State
and it's creditors.
Thirdly-in a material reduction of
taxation.
Besides these demands the delegates
OF East Baton Rouge, will be entrust-
ed with the all important duty of OBJ
tanning the ratification of the majority
vote given at the late election i'll favor
of Baton Rouge for State Capital.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
voters, white and colorad, Democrats,
Republicans and independents, cast
aside for this occasion, all differences
either political or personal, i'll order
that three capable, energetic and pub
lie spirited men be chosen to perform
these duties. 1t must be apparent to
all that the minority i'll that conVen-
ton will I've composed of Democrats.
Therefore, in order to exercise the in
flueDce that our delegation must hare,
the delegates must be in good stand
ing with that majority.
The convention has not been called
for the political advancement of the
Democrats: party, as is enormously be-
lieved by some of the colored voters.
The fact that the Democratic party
has noar an almost entire control
of the State government, aught to
dispel such fears if amy there are.
The convention will be held for the
purpose only Of ameliorating the con-
dition of affairs in our State, an end
that will be of benefit to all our citi-
zens without distinction. We do not
hesitate toassert, that the delegates
of this parish, will maintain and de-
| fend the true Democratic doctrine,
now ilrcvocably accepted by the
p;rrty-unirersal sugr0gc-and the
protection of the equal rights OF all
| citizens without distinction of race or
previous condition.
Let all private ambitions be held in
allegiance, in the face of this absolute
public necessity. Let the ''dog in the
Manager fccling-that if one can't
another must nt--be frowned down
this time The pay will barely meet
| expenses, and as to the honor confer
red, those only who will have done
their whole duty to this people, will
| obtain it.
For the sake of our common vel
fare, and the future prosperity OF ou'
city and parish, we appeal to all "u1
citizens, to join hands together and
make the best possible selection. Let
the, scramble for Office come some
other time.
Several names have already been
suggested by our local papers. We
pledge beforehand the hearty support
of the CArIToLIAN, to any and all
those who may be selected.
