MESsRs. PRINTERS,
We are much pleased TO observe in the
Warrant for the annual Town Meeting, an
article, for the Towns consideration OF what
can be done " to check the increase of pau
pers-reStrain the practice OF begging--and
promote the interest and good order OF the
town" We consider it an important sub
iect, and one which demands cool and seri-
Gus attention. Permit Us, through the medi-
UNI of your paper, to express hope that in
the contemplation OF measures towards effect
ing the object in view, paramount regard
will be had to moral and religious improve
ment. Without this, we fear, that no plan,
however promising will prove successful but
if il should prevail, the noble design, we may
expect, will be accomplished.
Or, in the words Of committee of the So
ciety recently established ia New-York, to
prevent pauperism-" If,' they say, " as we
believe, nine tenths of the poverty and
wretchedness which the City exhibits, pro-
coed, directly or indirectly, from the want Of
correct moral principles and, if religion is
the basis of morality, then it will be admitted,
that TO extend the benefits Of religious instruc
ton, will be to strike at the root of that cor
rupt Tree which sheds dreariness and penury
from all its branches"
Though we do not apprehend that poverty
abounds so much, in proportion TO the popu-
lation here yet we know that it is produced
principally 1--WE speak Of town paupers) by
those streams which flow from tue dele,erious
fountain OF immortality.
