''IIIF propost n made by Representative Voorhees of Philadelphia to remove the ( !apital from Harrisburg to Philadi Iphia is being very much discussed. The bill provides that the question of removal be submitted to the people at the fall election. Whythecapital should he re moved is a question that has not been answered, except it be to enrich Philadelphia at the expense of the Siate. Harrisburg is centrally located with railroad connections diverging in all directions. The state has millions of dollars worth of proper ty at Harrisburg which in case of removal would be a total loss. Business interests in Philadelphia are d diverscund the best interests of the Coram -wealth would not be promoted. Harrisburg lias always shown her ability to handle lie crowds. Besides if Harrisburg shall no longer be considered the State Capitol, trad a removal proposition be in order, we suggest Middleburg and we call upon Representative Smith to intro duce a bill to submit Middleburg as a candidate for public favor.
