Relief Keeling- >i
It haa barn suggested to oa to request a *
meeting of the citizens at the Court Mouse
en Matnrday uext, (the .Mat inst,) for the 0
purpose of taking concerted aetion for the
relief of the poor of our District The v
measure haa not been proposed by a auf. v
ticieut number of persona to warrant us in t
anoouneing that a meeting will certainly be |,
held ; bat i^ any considerable cumber of |,
parsons, in the District, approve it, and will f
come up on that day, there Will be a meet
I lug ; and we suggest that they do so. It is
' doubtless obvious to every one that aorov\
thing must be done to relieve the families "
of aoldiera and other destitute persona ; and j
jf not done spovdily, certainly much suffer*
ing, and probably civil commotion, will en j1
sua. We ars told that females may be ^
seen almost daily upon our atreeta anqni
ring for corn, and that but few are to be*
* found wty> will sell them enough, even for a
present nvcessiliea. Ii
Hems producers, we believe, are doing I
4heir duly ui this reapeel, but they are ex "
rrptiona. There should ba a meeting of
the cilizans, and an iulelligant public opin |
. ion should compel every planter to share *
his supplies with these needy people ? | I
Other sections sis moving In this important <
jnatter, and we should likewise discharge i
our defy to tha Reedy in this Dietrich?
Soma of our citizens hnva expressed, within
our hearing, fery liberal views upon this i
subject. One gentleman said that ho will

the destitute, let all be animated by a ,

universally admired and beloved. Ilia re

by the rudeness ( camp life. That zee
