In the face of these facts, we are told there is great danger of that very township giving a larg cannot 2 ta. jovity vate in favor of the new Constitution, by the provisions of which all corporations are to be crippled and their very existence jeopardized. We cannet beli¢ve the intelligent people cf that township are so_ blind to their own interests or so ungratefulas to attempt to ruin the very incorporations that have been instremental in making them a prosperous commnnity. If the people of) that township desire to do an irteparable injury to the corporations and to themselves, they should vote for the infernal new Constitution. What They Mentiy Want.
