Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Removal of the Seat of Government to the District of Columbia: Two Papers Read Before the District of Columbia Historical Society The removal of the seat of government from Philadelphia to Washington was completed as far as the executive offices were concerned by the 15th of June, 1800. Congress adjourned May 14, 1800, having directed that the next or second session of the Sixth Congress should commence in Washington, November 17, 1800. The departure of the Government officials was considered of so little consequence by the editor of the General Advertiser, a daily published in that city, that the only reference to it was a brief paragraph of some three or four lines in the issue of June 12, 1800, stating that letters and newspapers must in the future be directed to the respective offices of the Government at the city of Washington. As is well known, Philadelphia was regarded during the ten years of the location of the seat of Government there as merely a temporary abode. Many of the Philadelphians, however, entertained the hope that the law which was passed in 1790, directing the removal of the seat of Government to Philadelphia, pending the building of a capital city on the banks of the Potomac, would in some way be repealed, and that the Government would remain permanently in Philadelphia. No doubt the clerks, to a large degree, shared this hope, especially when they looked forward to making their homes in the wilderness, as Washington was then generally characterized.
