As Cheyenne is by nature and arti
ficial circumstances admirably calcu
lated and inevitably destined to be
come the commercial metropolis and
railroad centre of the Territory (and
the future State) of Wyoming, there
is every reason in favor o’s making it
the political caixijtiil of the Territory,
the hili for wiiicirXjiou uiiuStf cuii
sideratio;; Ly C has

most imjjoi tanl of which
owing to its central position
mirable climate, it is accessible fronv
any direction at any season of the
year; it is th * seat of the mos! popu
lous county in the Territory ; it will
soon be the most tiourishing manufac
turing tow n between the Missouri and
California, and now represents a
greater population and capital than
ail the other towns in the Territory
combined. That the capital of the
Territory will bo locrJed here does
not admit of a reasonable doubt. A
city that supports three daily papers
is not to be found in many portions of
the country west of the Mississippi
river, and there are but few towns in
even Indiana or Illinois that can
boast as much. Cheyenne is the very
heart and soul of the plains,and judg
. ing by her growth of the past year, is
soon destined to outstrip Omaha and
Salt Lake.
