In the annual message Of Gov. GoRxAX
to the Legislative Assembly, he recommends
that body. in granting charters. to carefully
scrutinize the powers and privileges confer
red upon capital This Recommendation has
ever been advocated and enforced by the
Democratic party Of the Union. and is Justly

faith. AT the present time, there il an ap-
preparedness in the observations Of the

entitle them 10 the careful consideration Of
the Legislature.
Past sessions Of the Legislature have ac,u.
ally tioaiel our Territory with grants Of
dangerous powers to associations. At
present, but little Inconvenience Is expe-
renc'd by the people, from the chartered
corporations, but at some future day, every
county and community in the Territory, will
suffer from them. Associations Of wealth and
influence, are necessary, especially in new
countries, to the accomplishment OF great
works Of internal improvement, bu, in grant.

great care should be exercised, and every

numerous streams so well adapted for that
purpose. and indeed all the evidences of
