column, that the friends of Rev. Mr.. CARMAN
propose a Donation Party at his house on Mon
day evening. We have no doubt but that the
proposition will be heartily responded to by our
citizens, as there are none who do not admire
Mr.. C. for his talents, and very few indeed, if
any, of whatsoever Christian Reorganization, who
do not hold him in high esteem for his genu-
inc piety.
While on this topic, we may be permitted to
suggest. that the Donation Parties usually CIV
en- clergymen afford very little practical aid.
People crowd in with a lotof"store goods, such
as muslins, cloths, cassimeres, tea, coffee, su-
gar, &c, "a, and give q sVrfait of these sta5
pies, while their friend is permitted to starre
or go unclad for those articles which his fam
lily really need. We respectfully suggest,
then, on our own account, that the contribu-
tons be either IN cash, in orders upon some
store, or in subscriptions to be paid in money
or goods at a future day.
We don't know what others may think
about it, but we endorse our remarks as yeEy
sensible and very practical! Wa have never
conversed with a clergyman upon the subject,
but if we had, we believe that he would say
that the ordinary donation PARTIES amount
10 himself and family TO ABOUT 20 per cent. or
,the sgra actually expended by the donors.
