THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
To- morbow evening, Mr. D.ick of Otago moves " That itis the opinion of this House that tbe interests of the Colony require the removal of the Seat of Government to Wellington.' Remembering that the Separationists^are satislied that the removal of the Seat of Government will go far towards remedyiug the evils they complain of, and remembering also that there is the fullest desire, on all hands, to give to Auckland a Lieutenant-Governor whose undivided attention may be devoted to the peculiar requirements of the north, there cau be no question that Mr. Dick has ample material for proving the correctness of the terms of his motion; but whether the House will be guided in its decision of the question by the tbe merits of the case remains t*> be seen. The question is an important one for the whole Colony, and, believing that its determination in the affirmative would conduce to the benefit of the Colony as a whole, we need not say how cordially Mr. Dick has our best wishes in the object he seeks to attain — independently of the many powerful local reasons which would also lead to tbe desire that his motion should be thoroughly successful.
