to this county in our last paper, the value
of the real and personal estate was com

valuation is g7,34S,305.
Gov. ReicTs Inaugural.
The reader will find this interesting
document on our first page. It is such a
one as was confidently anticipated by the
democratic party, and we doubt not they
will unanimously give the sentiments it
contains a hearty approval and support.

The Legislatnrc is "busily engaged with

Christmas Eve. The House of Com
mons assembled on Tuesday afternoon in
an informal session, for "fun and glee "
and resolved itself into Committee of the
whole, Mr. Brogden of Wayne, in the
chair.
If is needless to attempt to give an ac
count of all the sayings and doings on the
occasion the wit, native and borrowed,
with the "attempts at wit," the sublime,
farcical and ridiculous the whole set off
by the good natured humor and mock
gravity of the Chairman. The reader can
form some idea of this "flow of soul," by

Mr. Editor: It is very evident from
the style and tone of the article in your
last paper, signed "Philo Veritas," that
he .is one and the 'same with my old an
tagonist. Indeed, "an apple cleft in twain
is not more like." I shall therefore draw
no line of demarkation, but consider him
as the same and frame my. -answers accor
dingly. But to the, questions.
The first question is in substance: Is it
allowable or : proper that paupers should
receive more than is necessary for their
comfortable support? A definite answer
to this, would have ho bearing on the
question at all, as the word "comfortable"
is an .indefinite -or comparative term, vary
ing in meaning with the diversified opin
ions of mankind. To verify this we hare
but to notice the wide difference there is
between the provisions made for paupers
in different countries and we readily per
ceive that what is considered comfortable
by one government is not considered so
by others.
Secondly. Arc not the paupers of Edge-1
combe entitled to a comfortable support?
And if they do not receive it, is it not the
fault of the Justices and Wardens? They
are entitled to a comfortable support, in

and Wardens are fclamca'de. But ;I would
ask. Is the conduct ( the xlispenscrs of
the English poor fund reprehensible when
they furnish, in accordance with the spi
rit of their laws, a support much less com
fortable than ours? If it is not, as they
justly consign their paupers to a lower
degree of tomfort than our State laws do.
may not a private individual, by a dona
tion, justly and generously elevate the
support of the paupers of his county to a
higher degree of comfort?
Thirdly. Do the lawsoflhr State per
mit the paupers to receive more than a
comfortable support"? and if not, may noi
"use and benefit, " without perverting tin
language, be construed to mean a support?

Fourthly. This requires no answer as
I have maintained from the commence
ment of the controversy, that the construe
tion of Veritas" would benefit no one
but the tax payers.
Fifthly. I believe the poor of Edge
combe have received what they are legal
ly entitled to, as a comfortable support
and that the Wardens and Justices, have
done their duty. But this is immaterial,
! as reason would certainly say, that if our
laws permit private denations to increase
the comforts of our paupers, the Warden?
. .
and Justices would be the persons most
suitable to effect a judicious dispensation
of such donations. And I cannot perceive
how it would require either "greater dili
gence or more honesty." It is analagous
to providing for slaves. Some masters
require more clothing for their negroes
than others, thinking that more is ncce-
sary lor xneir comiort ana no one
would hold that it requires more or less
honesty to carry into effect a contract
to furnish a slave with two pairs of shoes
or one, three shirts or two.
Sixthly. To this it is impossible to
frame a concise answer. The two pre
liminary questions, no one would hesitate
to answer, as the propounder desires, but
they bear not the slightest analogy to the
present case As for the main interroga
tion, it is based upon three distinct sup
positions, neither of which can be verified,
and yet from these is complacently dedu
