for tho tino hs actually did keep lin! aud
il the county had to Pay anything towatt
the keeping Of said paupcr, ttidt amount
would be dedGctsd from the allowance
due him. Thatis'theNay the thing stands
for tho year ending on ihe,3O,L Of April
next, Now, as 10 the prics'of doctors
instruments, &c, That puts mo in mind
oflhs mileage When one Of these doc,
tors goes Ito see patient, if he has TO
stop On his road at half a dozsnrplaces,
he will charge mileage for every place he
stops at, although be only travels the
road onetims. This is about the WY
dustori is trying tt make you believe that
lie has to buy new set Of instruments
every time he uses .lLeni-all Of which is

q T, b, Camden says something about i
being the sworn duty Of the Supervisors
70 sec that,ths fshpers arc supplied With
tho necessities of!ile This Oserserr of
the Poor who orders person to be put
upon the couniy,:is also sworn TO do his
duty according to the best Of, his skill and
Judgment. lie has rtot ehly 70 order on
The COUNTY those who need help, bu. he
is not to order on the county those, whom
'he thinks do not need such help; and he
has to do al Of these thugs under oath
How will it bsiif TT. IL iCaisacn super

will'here give The four last lines Of
the 9th section of chapter +46 Of llle Code:
"BA the Board Of Supervisors Of a
county mat clange or resciud any order
or direction given by each Overscer, and
may direct any person or family to be pro.
yiled for or assisted, .hossh the Over.

So" l,,i.ss9a5 4 II. ~ IN, -. : 3 Y.
I 60 tits plain to everybody not expect.
ing to make afce that the Oystscer must
first be consulted even before the Super
risors Gun take any Steps in the matter Of
putting persons upon the prsper list.
DR.. Camden appears to misconstru.
my saying tDst "th thing might have
been compromised il it had not been made
so public" Mr.. Doctor, II here is what !
meant I could have got some person to
show yoti the hw and explain ii to you,
30 that l should not have Mud to publish
The Code to get you to see that you were
wroag 10 tie assumption ofpowcr. II
vas 81 your, account ! was willing to com
promiscLnot mine. Tho doctor raid lie
could not see Why tse Supervisor, passed
that sinful ordinance unless it vas "for
Political cnds, or to show that might was
right" ffshi he comedies that The
Board had the right 70 enss the ordinance,
and thus contradicts HIMSELF If he had
only admitted that before, it would have
saved me publishing the Code. lie said
again, "fot political ends" He raid
that to make somebody think i. was .
radical doctor who was wiring. But |
saw bis game, aud before | pretended to
answer hisipiece addressed an article to
TIE DEnccAAr, asking bin oigiye bis
name, as | before stated. 81 Is be 60
ing 10 leave the Democratic party?-ns it
is VIGOROUSLY known that four out Of Eve
Of tie Supervisors are Democrats. So
you can see that Mr. Doctor has some de.
sign in talking the way be does. 1t does
not Or should not make any difference
what party Supervisor belongs to. II
they have to serve party cnds. the man
tha. does it is not ct to bc J a Supervisor
Or anything else. Since The doctor has
raised this question, | must say for tie
radical doctors that they did put in The
most reasonable bills. In fact, they had
very little taken of their CLANS If all
the doctors bills had been like .heits, We
should not have had alluthis writing TO
do. The ordinance says "qhe Oycraeer
Of tito Poor Of ltu proper Township" the
law says "tlicl Ovcrsccr Of t.iy township
in which such settlement rasy be- SO /
cannot sec any conflict between tie law
aud the ordinance Suppose the Super.
,isors should order that any Overscer III
tile county might give orders all over the
couhtp, or tSe doctor might be- Ovcrseer
himself, to practice among the paupers Of
the county. aud put persons on the eour.
iy, then Mr.. Doctor might say with good
grace that it Isis unwarranicd BY law and
a gros, assumption Of power" q ..5 ~
The doctors said q great deal about their
professional rights. and professional
dignity and c.isrecler." They doa,e,p.
pea, to understaaas tifst the tax. pages
have any rights forth looking after. II,
puts NE il MUD Of little article | read
10 'rns DkMocRGr few days ago, which
said tia, Families of real position are
not jealous of it, but Upstairs are cor.
staptl y srsrding their rcspcctability."
The doctors do not' iks that part Of The
ordinance which says that Ill claims
must be sworn 10. They would not like
to swear 10 the ju,tness Of all their claims.
The law requires Other petsons to make
o,tl, to their bills, who don't profess to
half Is much correctness as these doctors.
Mr.. Doctor, will you be SO good as
to show me one section Of law where you
