Jasper County Employment Society.

For tho Banner.

| A meeting of the citizens of Jas*jper county was convened at the i Court House in Rensselaer, on Saturday March 3d, to take into consideration the expediency of forming a society for facilitating the transportation into the county of such laborers, as the community; agricultural and others, might need. j Until an organization could be affected, Judge R. H. Milroy, was called to the chair, and Dr. C. A. Logan j elected Secretary. Rev. R. B. James, in a few plain and pertinent remarks, stated the utter destitution of a great number of mechanics and laborers in New i York city, owing, not as is supposed by many,to theirentire worthlessness, but to the increased influx of foreigners, thus producing a superfluity of j laborers of all kinds, which, added |to the financial condition of tho ’ times, has brought about a state of i suffering and degradation which we tin the interior, can have but little ■ idea of. A feeling of benevolence ■ and humanity has prompted certain gentlemen of New York to form themselves- into an association styled ‘The American and Foreign Emigrant Protective and Employment Society;’ 'for the purpose not only of alleviaj ting the distress now existing there, | but for furnishing to those who may ' need them, able-bodied, moral and industrious men and women, who, it is confidently expected, by establishing homes in their new localities, will -ukim-ntely form porjoiTbf thciFcommunities. In View, then, of the fact that the lack of\uch help is felt more keenly every yeas, in this county, especially amongst our farmers, it is proposed ito form a society here, which shall hold daily correspondence with tho New York societyxand whose object lit shall be to furnish men, women :or children, of whatever age, occupation or country, to suc\a« may apply for them. \ In pursuance of this intent it wai ; moved and carried that a committee of live be appointed to draw up a a constitution to govern such society. After a short abscencc the committeex ■ returned, and reported a constitution, [ which, with some sliglit amendment, was unanimously adopted. The Constitution provider, Ist. That the Society shall be called the Jasper County Employment Society. 2nd. The object of this Society shall lie to obtain information from the different townships in this county as to the demand, for labor era both male and female, and so far as may be, supply that demand. 3d. The officers shall be a President, a Vice President in each township, a board of five Managers, a corresponding and recording Secretary. 4th. Every person requiring the aid of the Soeie ty in proe ur in g l aborers shall pay to the Treasurer, one dollar for any number not exceeding five, and one dollar for every additional one; one half of the money being returned if the laborer is not procured. sth. Any person may become a member of this Society by subscrit bing to the. Constitution and submitting to its regulations. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Wm. Tichnor; Vice President* in Marion, Seth Bakar; in Newton, in Hanging Grove, John Jr.; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. R. B. James; ’Recording Secretary, Dr. Q. A. Lo■gan; Managers, Messrs. R. H. Milroy, ,W. J. Laßuc, 1). Snyder, W. D. Lee and A. Rowen. On motion of W. J.
