Item Title
"No Removal of the Capital. "
Description
This article refutes rumors that the Confederate capital will be moved from Montgomery , Alabama to Richmond , Virginia , mentioning the expense and loss of stability such a move would cause : "We can hardly conceive that a body composed as is the present Congress of wise , calm , far-seeing statesmen , and whose measures have met with such universal approbation , should imperil the success of our Government , and endanger their reputation for stability , by exhibiting such capriciousness with respect to the location of the Confederate Capitol...The various departments are now fully organized...The charge spoken of, would disorganize all these - would require a considerably [sic] outlay of money which might otherwise be expended in maintaining our liberties , and defending our firesides , and would strike every one with the idea that there was a want of stability which at the outset augured badly for our permanency. " The article also addresses an apparent complaint about the hot weather in central Alabama , noting that "there are those connected with the Government who suppose they could spend the summer more pleasantly farther north , but...patriotic members of the government may well afford to submit to some personal inconvenience for their country's good.
