Mr.. EDIroR:-seeiug by an order of the Coun-
ty Cour, of Berkeley. that election is to be held
about the first Of april Tor Operseers Of the Poor,
the idea occurred to me- that now would be ia
vorable time 10 ask, why it is that no annual state
men, is made TO the tax-paying portion OF our com
munity. with regard TO the above institution
There is no necessity for any thing like iabored
report or a report in detail, but ono embracing at
least the number of P0upers received, the number
Of deaths, the number dismissed and the humble,
remaining; with, also the amount Of provision con-
,umea-gving each article separate
This is an important Institution, and must Deces-
sarily ens, the feelings as well he interest Of
every citizen Of our county Consequently the a.
boye information, would always be locked for with
anxiety and with pleasure. We pay tax, but
are ignorant Of the amount Of benefit We are con-
ferring the unfortunate portion of our race, by
the paymen. Of these taxes.
The Sheriff comes with his bill, and perhaps with
some hard thoughts we pay it, forgetting that one
item Of that bill appess to humanity, whereas, it
we had the information called for annually before
our eyes, we should look for the Sheriff, coming
as the happy opportunity efJrded US to admins
ter to the wants Of the sons and daughters of af-
Election.
| This Institution beirg surpmted by the public,
the public have right to know the operation and
condition Of the whole affair. and it should be
pleasure as well as the duty, of those to whom this
business is entrusted, TO make yearly cShibi, OF
the good conferred and also the cost of that good
do not know that it is worth while to aftemp
any thing like reasoning to show the propriety
and necessity Of this information, more than has
been said, for pte.ume it has been omitted being
done from the fact, that it has never been called
FIR by those interested.
While am asking for the foregoing, should
like to know, also, why the good citizens of Mae
tinsburs are not informed by the Trustees of the
same, the amount Of taxes assessed and the e.
mount cullscted as well as the dsbursem' nIs
made and for what made, that ut the end Of
each year. all nigh, know the condition well as
the prospects of our town.
| These appear to me, 10 be matters Of deep pub

good or indeed any reason why they should no, be
attended to-olher than, that demand has been
made on the part of the public. 1t ia to be hoped
that an exhibit will be forthcoming, when the pre-
sent year shall expire from both the sources nam

these requests cannot be complied with, il is hoped
the public will be put in possession of the same.

PRESIDENT TYLER.

The New York Aurora and Union, I

following reasons for dropping Van Bu-

that is that the democracy" should do

in the arguments Of the Aurora. We are
satisfied that neither Mr.. Van Buren, nor
Mr.. Calhoun can be elected. Richmond
Wing.
The nomination of Mr.. Tyler by the
convention would secure the triumphant
ascendancy OF the republican party but
the dexterous, inexperienced, and Ut
scrupulous leaders may proven, that, if
his friends commit him to general con.
vention. The question then recurs-what
is TO be done?
Mr.. Van Buren, cannot be elected. For
his success i. would require rot only every
elector who voted for him before, should
support him again, but nearly one hun
died thousand Wing voters must 60 over
to his standard. With The avowed enmi.
ty Of fierce free trade democracy TO that
gentleman, therefore, It is hardly possible
that any far seeing or sagacious politician
can anticipate his election.
As to Mr.. Calhoun, every body north
Of The Potomac, knows that with his fam
tastic notions of free trade and his ultra
position in reference to the peculiar insti.
buttons of the South, he could not carry
FIVE States, even against MIR. Clay.
President Tyler, then, is the only GER
tam or safe candidate for the Demo cratic
party. But in what manner shall he be
presented to the people? His friends,
fresh and inexperienced, ignorant Of in
trigue and party wiles, are incapable Of
contendng with men familiar with the
process of getting up conventions, and
versed in all the arts Of managing primary
meetings, In this state Of things, the
business must be managed by the people
themselves. 1t is the bold and patriotic
stand he has made for the people whichls

They know il and feelt. IN all directions
we behold evidence Of the wish Of The peo-
pie to break off from hackneyed party
leaders. They claim to support their own
candidates, and who goes Tor them and
