An interesting debate took place in the Senate to-day upon the removal of the capital, when the question came up on agreeing to the amend- ment of the Committee of the Whole appro- priating £50,000 to carry out the law of 1361 to enlarge the Capitol grounds. Mr. Harlan — it useless to spend money the seat of government would be re- move Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, regretted the agita- tion of this subject, as it was dat ing to the dignity, character and stability of our Govern- ment. It was fixed as fate that the capital would never be removed, and it was unwise to harp uvon this subject. Mr. Yates thought it a mistake that the capi- tal would not be removed, and hereafter not a man would come to Congress from the West un- less pledged for the removal of the capital. Mr. Tipton thought there was no public opin- ion in the West in favor of the removal of the pe ey and he for one did not propose to be the orig ot instructions in favor of such a propo- sition. Mr. Stewart thought the agitation of the sub- Ject of removing the capital was an absurdity, and it was economy to vote now for all these improvements in Washington. He did not be- lieve that the capital would be removed; but even if it should be, it would be taken to New York in preference to the West. Mr. Koss opposed the appropriation, and thought tne capitol would be removed. Mr. Fi ded the name of Washing- ton as sacred, did not believe a eorporal's 'd could be found to be in favor of remevin; See ae ‘ipes would float over the Territories of Mex- ico and Cuba, and Washington would still be the seat of government. Mr. Howard was opposed to the agitation of the rubject of removing the capital, and did not brajrda the people of country were in fayor o Mr. Stockton was in favor of the sppropria: tion. He hoped the streets would paved here and the city improved £0 as to be enjoyed bo the people of the whole country. This city belonged to all, and all felt an interest in it. Messrs.
