THE SALE OF THE P00R HOUSE,
BY reference to the proceedings of the Dem
ocralic meeting, on Monday evening last, II
will be seen that resolution was adopted by
that meeting calling upon our members OF the
Legislature to have an act passed authorizing
vote the people to be taken upon the question
whether the Poor House property should be
sold, or not, aud whether, in case II should be
sold, there ought to be another property pur-
chased in its stead for the maintenance of the
poor. We believe this to be a movement in
The right direction. If the people desire to
make any alteration in the management OF the
poor, hey will have an opportunity for saying
50, in The event Of such an act being passed
The location of the present Poor House is GER
iainv an unfortunate one for the tay-nayers, as
we'll as for the paupers residing 'bprrat, Hun
dreds of way-faring straggIers, on account OF
the Poor House brHg situated at so public a
place, yearly eat, drink and lodge at the ex-
pense Of he county. And these travelling pau
Pers are generally Ghhy and diseased, making II
impossible for the Steward, no matter how care
lul and strict be may BE-, TO keep the institution
clean and healthy. This would net be tht
case, were our Poor House located on a GOO,
farm in some retired locality. Professona
begsars, impostors on public charity, and othe
human vermin, could no longer, with TIE same
facility, find their way to the Po2r House
Their soccupaton would Be gone in 3edlorc
county. There are other potent reasons 70
the movement lnau.urated on Monday night
which we may alIude to in the future, bein.
preoluded from doing 50 at present, for want o
room. We ate for a vote THE people Oh tb,
