| REMARKS ON coLoRED CORPORATIONS.
Mr.. Vosheu said that the bill to in
corporate the Sons and Daughters and
Beneficial Society of Smyrna was got
ten up for the special benefit of the
colored people Of that town. He pre-
sented it at their request II is purely
for beneficial purposes among them-
selves; nothing political in it; noth-
ing by which we can be injured in
any shape. They seem to be desirous
to have an association Of that kind by
which they can accumulate q little of
funds and relieve eachother in cases
of sickness. &C. Consequently they
offered the bill He did not see any
Just reasons why their request should
not be granted. That class of people
have had prejudice to the Democrat
ic party and he thought this bill might
be the means of wiping some
little of the prejudice away which had
unsettled their minds by oppposi-
ton to us heretofore. The
committee on Corporations consists of
5 and it takes majority Of the conn
mittec to report bill.
