FOR TUE SUN.

Enrrott,-i-,Perhaps you do not know that
there has been a contest in the Journals of our
cOunty respecting two institutions for the recep-
tion of insane persons, which has been agitated
with so Much zeal by the several dispntants, as to
shen, they are.tbeinselves in a state of mind that
well entitles them to a place in one of them. I
shall not enter into the merits of the controversy
any farther than to observe, that one of these in-
stitutions is under the protection of that mild fra-
ternity denominated Quakers, and that the other
is managed by a Physician, who seems to have
given offence in having advertised his receptacle
for insanity. like an Empiric, though he is a regu-
lar Poilactitioner. 1 shall at present merely con-
tent myself with transmitting to you th.follOwing
charge against one of the institutions, and 1 doubt
noC.that. you .will agree with me in thinking, that
it calls ttprAt ,those.coricernei in it for a full ant!

is understood,. is eonimitted to the care of a vhy-.

of any Committee or Visitors in the internal JIM'
nagefnent. Thrts,::instead of being a public chit-
