I think it.bad policy to erect a poor house. Not more than one out of ten of our poor are able to earn anything; in comparison to their m ants. The poor house would destroy that interest which now stimdlays people to keep their poor relatives for the smallest sums pos sible. A poor house every 'Fall and Winter, 'gather large numbers of idle loafers, and tiplers, and all manner of vagrant's, to sap their living from the hone‘t and ifiduArious, in the Spring they will be gone with the wind.

' - ..itonrs„Ac., ibaop. fir,. qu), mus. • For the Montrose . Democrat. Shall we have a 'Co. Poor House. • "Tbis questiOn is soon to ho submitted to a vote of the,people„; and a. serious qtesstionit is, for if- such - en listitutionbe established in our midst, and it prov t e disastrotia to the in terests of the people, we- shill have a birden upon es difficult, if not itepoisible_to be re moved. Our condition monk' be -sinoilar to that of the Tailor in fabled story, who took ,upon his back a load-fie afterward could not 'bake off. An obnoxious Peddling. Act, Road Law, and various other legislative en actments, may be easily—revoked ; but all can see that an act like the one in question, from the consequences which - must result from its 'acceptance, would not be speedily repealed, however universal and strong the popular voice might be for its abrogation: We hear it- said that the:Poor House will sustain itself. In some counties, under pe culiar circumstances, this may be true; but it is exceedingly doubtful whether it will do so. here ; so much so that prudence would. seem to dictate that we should not hazard the experiment, unless under a thorough convics tion, of its practical utility. The male-portion of our,. pauper., able to work at all, would be employed either in shops or on the farm. On the latter, they, would not find steady employment more thir half the year ; and how much labor would be done, one day with another, by men and worrien reduced' to a state of pauperism I At this day, when money is plenty, business prosperous, mind - and muscle in active de mand, it-is folly to• presume that many of the able bodied will throw themselves. upon the County 'fiA support. We know that, generally, they are only the feeble, and the impotent that invoke. public charity, Ei traordiniry - contingencies, however; which sometimes happen in manufacturing, and in mining, but rarely in agricultural districts may furnish an exception to ibis rule. Let us suzpose trio Poor House in opera tion, and a portion of its tenants able to work, yet who will not : What then I Pray, tell us, you, who aver the Poor House- will susi tain itself. Whip -.them I -Starve- diem t Either would he torbarous. Expel them bo so, and they are paupers still, entitled, as such, to support. :Further, we are gravely assured, that it will be cheaper for -the several townships to keep their paupers at a Poor House than at home, because the entire county will-then have to bear a proportion of the, 'expense re quisite for their support. With due respect for the sincerity which may have prompted such a declaration, it can be regarded only as an assumption, a statement unsupported by fact or argument. Such an institution, properly managed, might be serviceable to boroughs and townships,, at .present burdened with poor; but we call for the data from which the advocates of this measure draw their conclusions, that the establishment of an as ylum for the poor ill( our county., would op erate advantagebusly to the financial inter ests of the several townships, as a - whole. If, in some sections of our county, poor taxes ere high, at present, this affords oci - good reason for those sections desiring a Poor House.; for time has shown that a township laden with paupers one year, may, the next, -be nearly if not entirely rid of them. It has been very properly suggested, that a statement of moneys, expended for poor put pcses, in the respective townships, for the past year, he sent for publication; but with this knowledge. will it not still be difficult to arrive at a. s3tisfactory conclusion as to the fund created by pauper labor 1 Such .a no tion is too absurd for serious consideration. Defray these expenses' by a general tax, it May be said. True, Ibis is the way it would have to be dope; but the query arises, wheth er, by so doing, our taxes would not be heav ier than they are noir. A.scorrect solution of . this question can be obtained only by a prac tical application of the provisions of the Bill. The history of the. past clearly demonstrates, that experiments in legislation, involving the welfare of communities, are dangerous and should be avoided. In the present instance, we Lave the power, by a direct vote, to an nul a legislative proceeding, which, if sanc tioned by us, may prove a serious drawback upon our, prosperity. Shall we do this, and while. rid :A. an evil . , remain so I • Let every voter respond affirmatively. The friends of this Act, for reasons best know; to themselves; hive not, as yet, furnish- ed os any estimate of the probable cost of a plantation, and appurtenances necessary for the - employment and accommodation of our poor. Perhaps they think their prospect,. would be damaged by . so doing.. tf, as has been auggested,.the matter can be kept quiet,' and just before election, emissaries sent through the county to persuade a smajo - rity to vote the thing blindfold, (which it is be lieved cannot be done,) the ends of selfishness. will be accomplished ; somebody will bare a farm to sell ; somebody money to loan; afew in certain localities engineer thilooncern, and reap.a.goldea harvest. thereby ; while the la boring masses will be taxed heavier than aver before. "Tax-payers of Susquehanna county,, weigh well this matter before committing an act, which. afterward, when too late, yob may deeply regret!

When we:first invited .a disc'ussion of this subject in oar &donuts, we intended to leave it entirely in the handa4 others, as we felt but little interest in it, and only desired that be public ibould be prepared'to vote under- standiogly ; for One, wo'expected to vote just as we might make op 'our miod, after hearing argument from others. But as we desire that the question should be both fully andfairly-discussed, we nsake a few comments upon."Tax.Payor's" arcle in our columns, last week. He first says thsit "the, ey . sbstn ... ii in,otiora- tion in the larger part orthe counties of the State." We do not know his source of infr.4- mation„ but think he is very much its error. We doubt whether he tan give the names of over ten counties that have poor houses.— Business, pleasure, visiting friends, and view ing various matters of interest, have induced 'us' to spend, at interval; over two years in traveling through and temporarily residing in various counties of the State, in addition to which we have over three years experience' in our present business, and receive county papers froin all sections, and have, from these, a good opportunity to be posted on this sub ; ject ; and we-give it.as our belief that but a small proportion have poor houses. If any think this incorrect, give us the facts. lo- tells us the poor tax of the county aver ages over $lO,OOO per year, but gives no fig ures to show suoh to 4 the case. We have made a good deal of inquiry, and so far as we can learn, not over $5OOO is levied, out of which other expensesare paid, leaving, per haps $3OOO to the benefit of the poor ; which sum will not more than pay the expense of officers, repairs, etc., of a well kept poor house. Re states that a huge Share of the tai is absorbed to pay overseers expenses. No doubt of this; but can it be shown how a county house-can be kept without the name result ? If a considerable sum is often spent in de termining the settlement of the pauper, would not a county house cause each locality to feel leas interest in the subject and thereby suffer many to become a charge who really belong ed to the neighboring countleg ! As to paupers laboring to help pay their keeping, we suggest that if they can labor in a county house, they can as now kept. A man cannot be compelled to work, but if able to work he certainly could not and would not be in the poor house io Summer, while in Winter he could do little or no work in art agricultural county. - The idei is advanced that humanity prompts the'adoption of the law, as the poor will be beUer provided for. •So far as we know, paupers are at present - quite comfOrta hip maintained.- Put a crowd of them to gether, and will not strife, crime; and pesti lence be the result I 13e says that many towns are ... pay.in,g_from $3 to $6 per week for supporting paupers. We never hear of such cases, and think some instances shobld be - given to make the `gtatement good.

The fact is interesting to all Masons, while it is espe cially a source of pride to the old lodge at Fred ricksburg, It has been deemed' proper to procure a statue of Washington, by Pow.' era, and an order .to that effect was given some time since. The- statue arrived at New York. from Legh‘rn...a few days since. It is, the property of the Fredrickaburg Lodge, and has been paid for by voluntary coot ibutions of the Masonic order generally. It cost $5,000, and is somewhat. larger than life. It - was , proposed also to erect a building•at Fredricksburg , soitable for the statue, and to inaugurate it with-appropriate ceremonies. Hon.
