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." |
