Whether Bill was any relation lo General

Corporation.
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. The "enterprises" are fostered are
cherished, not by the pampering and doclering ot
the leniblature, b'lt by the support anil confidence !
of the Public. The Union w ill please to dislin- '
guish between the two. I

turning in twenty days, Col. Fremont started
himself for Taos, distant 350 miles, where he ar

Col. Fremont, though much emaciated anil
worn oui by anxiety and the deprivations to which
he had been subjected, accompanied the dra

of their comrades.

Come, build the nest, the hollow ail
Is where it used to be ;
The food ye want, it shall not fali,
And we will welcome thee !
