The Legislature of our State now 10 session, af.
fords to us the privilege and right of application,
either by petition or otherwise, for enactments by
that body, for the "pubic good" and general
welfare" of the community.


And it seems to US that duty requires that we
should call the attention Of our citizens to a few
facts in relation to the position of our already
furnishing town, and then urge with brevity, the
necessity of Legislative enactments for our future
benefit and advancement. We are now in popu-
laton, second only to any point in the State,
and in trade, and business, preeminently first.
comma nding an extended tributary. country, un-
surpassed in the extent and variety oft products,
by any portion of our State. With an enterpris-
ing and industrious population by whose energies
and perseverance,, we have been sustained and are
advancing to importance amidst the "blighting
Storm" that has prostrated trade and commerce
throughout every portion ofthe far pest". While
the industry of our yromanry The the bone and sinesc
of the land, have and are daily developing the su-
poror advantages Of our soil and climate, for agr-
cultural pursuits-whch now in their infancy
give assurances of the future. We know that OBJ
jcctions exist with many in everv community, to
Acts of Incorporation to towns and villages; nev.
ertheess, to us it appears at this time and place,
possessing the natural advantages together with
external causes, that no measure at this time, Is
more imperi,ively demanded either by necessity
or utility. than such act of our Legislature as
would give US Corporate powers for our own iu.
terna municipal regulations; at this time the con-
dition of streets and roads, point to this as tie
only remedy. While the entire want of a we'll
regulated police renders at all times victims of
brols, disturbances, and debaucheries that no, on
y corrupt the public mind but give tone to our
moral character abroad.


But Il further argument exists. If incorpora-
ted with suaicien. powers, all ordinances that may
be required from time to time, can be passed by
the body corporate, and under proper representa-
tires, and efficient officers, the most wholesome
provisions may be expected to follow, and the in
creased prosperity will be commensurate to the
aids afforded. Our columns will not permit US
further room this week upon this subject, our at
tenton has been more directly called 10 this subject
by the notice we insert at tho request of some of
our citizens, for meeting to be held on Monday
next at the Court House, 10 take into COZ sdera-
ton, the proprety Of applying to the Legislature,
for IN act of Incorporation for the town.
