X. j To the Manners of Ihe Alius House and H »jfc of Employ. GESfJ-EMLX, . BV your account Ir>ft year, the number of Paupers received into the Alms House was 7266 ; that is 605 on the average of a month—a number far exceed ing any former period, even the years 1793 and 1797, wbtn the yellow fever prevailed. To one of the causes of this incredible in crease, I wish in a particular manner to call vour attention, as it is inexpedient, and in the opinion of ma nv very oppressive. I mean your detemiination to grant to the poor, no more pensions in tlieir private habitation!. By tluie meaj:s you force thsm from cruel neceifity upon the public for entire support, when a much fmailer gratuity than the sum which they cofl you in the House, would render their condition more comfortable and eonfiderably kilen the public burthen. There are othei caufrs for this excess ; I allude to all the apprentices that go to the Alms House to be bound to their trades and return from thence -without breaking of bread. The Paupers lent by the Guardians to the Hos pital are likewise included, although they me no expenceto you but for cloathing and far.ml charges: and it is well known that «on!iderable numbers pass in and out 6 «r 7 times in a year, who are always entered and >count as ciiflintt persons ; all these coutri but- to si- , U your deceptive lilt, and create a fislie divifcr that dwindles down the cost _ of a Pauper to a dollar a week, at the very , time it is likely to be nearer two than one. But if I «nif. allow that you have 605 in the Ho'ufe, I will tell you plainly that it is a meafare of crueltyj unless I attribute your jconauft to a want of judgment, whi«h I am very willing to do ; but I have no allowance to make for your Physicians. The owner of a Liverpool slave (hip may as well bo'att of humanity,-as they, when he weighs out •air, with exactness by the ton, to a miftra file crew, that art panting for breath. Is the poverty of our fellow citizens a crime, that should condemn them to be smothered in luch a wretched place ? Wretched do I fay ; yes miserably wretched : for your doc tors know very well, tljat! In your House you can never accommodate such a number 'of people in this climate ; they also know, it is impoflible for them to fulfil their own public and private engagements, and give at the fame time good attendance to so many sick people. It would be a' wicked undertak ing, the very idea of which implies a degree of fullering at which humanity Ihudders, and which I charitably hope and believe they would' never be the authors of infli&ing. Your Phyficiaw iruft therefore deny the pre fampticus aflertion of Semper ego, their Qtuxc'tical champion, ia refpeft to the amount of Hospital cases, or submit to the charge cf inhumanity and cruelty in their mode of prtAice. There is -no other alter native. A few words more will close this number. The whole tenor and spirit of the poor laws, that are made for the government of your Corporation, admit only of two ideas, viz. an Alms House and House of Employ, and although the former m.iy partake in a very small degree of the nature of a Hospi tal, yet I deny the propriety of making it so, beyond what imperious necessity demands; more especially as it tends to ruin all manu factures, in the House, which forms a lead ing and principal feature in the laws. Will you not then make a momentary pause, and seriously consider what may be the conse quence of railing ycurfitlves, paramount to legiflatk-e afts that are made to limit your proceedings, before you lift the arm of your mighty poiver, against the Alms House and House of Employ. If however to gratify your own vanity, if to humour the whim and caprice of projecting physicians, or if from afty other improper considerations you rashly determine to pursue your ridiculous scheme, of grafting a public hospital op that institution, the lead you can do will be to relieve our well grounded anxiety for .the lives of our fellow citizens entrusted to your •tare, by reducing your complex-cperations, to a more O&nfifteirt system ; foryou now exhi bit the only example 1 know, of a Hospital, in which only four Phvlifians, who attend their private practice, and some of them in other public institutions have the care of a Hospital that contains 2GI patients on an average, of whose admissionS, diseases,* cures, reliefs, elopements or death, no account is .given. * Difeifed cases fubjefls only for a Hospital. are pr per for your lift : drnf jacobinic confufion, affording a mo|l de icious regale to the frivolity of Frenchmen. But their frivolity, like their Itomaehs, equires vanity, and with the capricioufnefs if an ii fant, cries for new rattles. They low look for conquests and trophies, and ;he national vanity can no longer be flatter rd by unimportant, and often unfuccefsful Irays with a handfnl of Arabs. But what can be done by the Direftory and Councils ? A mod terrible coalition afiing against them, without a friend in the world, a; € scarcely a dupe left for cajole ry J They try the old cant—but in vain. Tbev (hake their robes—-but it will not do. Pefte 1 Austria, England, Turkey and Rus sia come thundering upon them They fight, but are every where beaten. They trump up the worn-out taleof anexpiring sol dier crying "Vive la Republique buttheir warriors, it now seems, like the notion of living themfeves. Le Diable ! What (hall they do now ? When lo ! the virtuous De Brie, the philantbropift who had pro posed a Legion of 1200 affaffim to murder the monarchs and aristocrats of Europe, fends them a whining detail of the afiafiiria tion of his eoncitoyens Instantly, asif blood 'and murder were as rare to a jacobin as rain to an Egyptian, they vote it the most horri ble outrage that ever was perpetrated, and decree a funeral fete to the manes of the butchered innocents. Hewen and earth are invoked to aveng# the deed, and the na ti/jrlal energy developed atnidft the rci' crated cries of Vengeance 1 Vengeance ! Vive la Republique 1 Ah ! Ob ! MR, FESNO, Among the numerous labourers in the field of republicanism, who, with a disinterestedness, peculiar to exclusive patri ots, have generously ftept forward to eradi cate the weeds and the tbiftleS of priefchood and aristocracy that have fo plenti fully oj late, none fulely labor with greater energy, or are entitled to a more splendid re ward than the fix pure 2nd spotless republicans who have appeared as the bumble champions of democracy in our happy state. To be sure, Gr, it appears rather a departure from their ufuai consistency, that they have ven tured to inftruft the Sovereign people in the choice of a Servant. But, perhaps they deem (and no doubt justly) that the people 'are net quite as sovereign in gcod sense and penetration as they are in power. This idea may or may not be erroneous. At any rate, we would not be so uncandid as with an improper view their 'trifling errors, while their virtuous and patriotic acls, as individuals, fland 011 records that we pray to God may be preserved with greater care, than the late public records of Georgia, As one of those Sovereign People, whole footfteps have been guided through the drea ry paths of fuperflition and aristocracy, to the land of libfrty by the lamp of republi canism in the hands of those worthy six, I should evince a deficiency in the mad exalted and most common attribute of popular sove reigflty, gratitude, were I not to exejt my talents in proposing a reward for our guides. I am not puzzled in fixing on thaheft method of rewarding.—We all know their aversion to a pecuniary compensation ; this favours of the feature* of a bribe ; and we have been told often enough of the detefhtion in which they hold the principles of fectet service money—Well, fir, it (hall be a post of honor ; there is but little doubt of their filling an honorable station be it so ; in this arrangement I would wifli to consult not only the talents of eadh for the station which he is to dignify, but their.dif pofitioris and their former prattice ; theex commiffioner is certainly entitled to priority of notice on every ground. Some twenty years since, we were honor ed with the visit of a number of foreigners from a certain European island ; they arrived here well provided with the noceffaries and conveniences of life, but unfortuitately, in a Ihort time they became embarrafled in their circumstances, and stood in need of a guide to conduft them through our dreary woods and marshes toaplaceof security. At this moment our patriot ftept forward ; his bo som glowed with every humane and patriot ic sentiment, and became to this wandering tribe a second Moses. Now, as such has been the humanity of his practice, as we can possess no doubt of the purity of his in tentions, at that time, and as from appear ances we rtiay expect another crowd of fo reigners from another foreign country Ik irt ly, I would humbly propose that the ftateof Pennsylvania Jhould affix a competent salary to the office of" President of the Emigra tion Society," and that this office Ihould be offered to our worthy patriot. I would apo logise for offering a station so bumble as this to a man who deserves one so much more ex alted, were he not a republican ! The next on our lift is a Physician who has been equally fuccefsful in curing the disor ders of the body politic, as those of the na tural ; or at leuft understands them equally j I feel myfelf atalofs to fix on a station that could possibly do honor to this man. I know indeed, of several offices that have been es tablished for the purpose of issuing certifi cates, but as I ljuift confine myltlf to the rule I have' laid down, of conuilting the practice and the inclinations of these wor thy citizens, as well as their talents, I would not offer a post of this delcription to this patriot, but wait in expedlatio.n that the government, for his accommodation willercft one for the foJe purpose of receiving cenifi cates. As to the Secretary, who appears next on the lift, I will fay nothing. A writer ot' good authority, a republican, has.told us h that he has already his price, and if he will, deign to mention to the foverctgtrpeople that - ■ * price, it will certainly t>e piid him without rtny inquiry as to the mode by wfa&it • ( bo* been Calculated. I will, probably, fir, take notice of the remainder of these toot toy citizei.s .it ano ther titne j but in order to atcommoduti the: offices they are to occupy to their forma practice and difpoiitions, I fancy we will be obliged to coin new ones, as well as the mo ney to support them.
