For the advertiser.

As your valuable paper has thrown much|
light, on many subjects ofgreal importance,
I'VE deem it expedien, to expose 10 light
that highly interesting subject viz: the
Poor House System: 1t appears from in
formation, i, contains from six to eight
pensioners yearly, who would, no doubt,
;be much better satisfied to draw pension,
sof from $50 TO $50 per year, aud remain
among their relations or friends, than be
|, s,aken to the Poor House, and treated, il
imatters not how well. Suffer US there
fore, to propose some calculation on the
subject: the Overseer's salary is $3.50 per
] year, with tile expense of land, houses,
gclothing, boarding, &C., which must at
ileas, amount to seven or eight hundred
sdullars yearly, expense to the Slate, when
sa sum of two hundred and fifty or three
dollars, would answer The same, or
better purpose, and would in our opinion,
5make difference OF at least hye hundred
sdollars year in favor of the State, provi-
filed, the present system was abolished.
aBeleving as we do, that economy is the
aonly saviour of our State, and that the
apriucple could not, in this case, be too ex-
apediiously put in execution, and believe it
sto be the indispensable duty of the Com
gmissioners of the Poor, (should they believe
las we do TO make an estimate Of the diff;
aference between the two different arrange
aments under consideration, and present il
Ito the Legislature at its next session, for
1 the consideration Of that honorable body.

Sir Robert Walpole once remarked, that for man
in power " to deny an unreasonable request was to
make patriot If he had lived in these times he
might have instance, at least, of such de-
NAL making man almost a maniac. This enables ms to
place charitable construction upon the frantic con
duct Of the editor of the New York Courier and En-
qurer.
We have seen no locofoco paper since the 4th of
March more abusive Of the President and his Cabinet
than the Courier and Enquirer, and we not aware
that any sufficient for il has as yet publicly
transplred,
Having assailed the President and members Of the
Cabinet friend informs that we also are honored
with his abuse. The article alluded to we have not
seen Was that number of the paper withheld, Ii
IS however matter of no consequence. He may
abuse us to his hearts content If he was more of
philosopher, he would learn that as you cannot ef-
feet that which you wish, you should wish for that
which you may effect" And as violence does not
last long, il is pity il should not have been bottled
up until there more occasion for IT,
