Yet it has been the policy of the loco foco par ly to oppose enterprise of this kind, and a bill to incorporate the company, which was the first to embark in manufacturing here ; and which is now the pride of this cily, was twice made the subject of an executive velo, and it is even yet allowed to proceed under many embarrassments, for want ol a charter. Lancanter Union. The article from which the above is an extract, relates to cotton mills in the city of Lancaster. We do not intend to write a homily on the subject of Corporations, although the present occasion seems to court it, and the time is not inopportune. To these mills, particularly and lo the above ex tract only, we w ish to call attention. We all know the language of that champion of Democra cy, Col. Frazerupon this very subject whui he was among us during the late campaign. Him self a stock-bolder in the old or first company, to which the Union refers ho gave it as his deliber ate opinion, that the company would, before that tune, have gone to pieces had they been incorpo rated. He spoke by the book ; he knew all about the business of the mill; was conversant with its operations, the amount and disposition of its cap ital. Ho was personally as well as politically opposed to an act of incorporation, giving the most solid and substantial reasons for his position. And what now is the situation nf affairs in the Demo cratic city of Lancaster? Thefi'st mill without an act of incorporation has done so remarkably well, that a seamii is being erected. Why, if they have to "proceed under many embarrassments for want of a charter," does a second company erect a mill under similar "embairrassmenls .'" Hut of what consequence is all this flummery about "want nf a chuter ?' None whatever, for notwithstanding all these disadvantages and em barrassments, this mill "in nnw Hit grille of fiiv ritij " Will the Union tell us how much gieater confidence the people would have in the company, in the event id" an act of iucorpoiatioo ! Would business increase faster or bo more firm .' Is it not a fixed fact that if a company rely upon the community, they will in return confide in and support the company, and viit vrna ? And is it not equally true, that if they rely upon Ihrir rhartcr that they are looked upon with distrust .' They day for the.ne things is passing away. The people know a corpoiation is iinaicuuntaHe ii reponible and entiri Jy souths. The very facts in the case disprove the aiticle in the Union. The Democratic party do not "op pmt enterprises of this kind". Hut they Jo, in all possible- cases, "oppoie" spreitil Itgihlalinn. They ask no special protection and extend none. They ay that in " enterprises of this kind," the company should rely upon themselves and their integrity.
