against the wealthy, and thus they become
the disturbers of the repose of society.
Agrarianism may be defined the device of
a knave, and the toy of the fool. It never
did, and it never can, successfully exist. So
long as the earth will not produce without la
Dor, SO long must man bestow his toll upon
1t; and SO long as one man shall have more
physical power than another, there will be
difference in the result of their labors. The
same too may be said of the mental faculties
of the human family. There has been, and
there always will be, some master mind in
every community-some mind, which in a
country even as extensive as ours, will soar
above the rest, and like the eagle, occupy
height which none of the others can reach.
And such an intellect will, for its researches
in the endless paths Of science, receive re-
muneration, which others cannot obtain. Is
this right! The world answers in the affir-
mative-the laws sanction 1.-THE leveller
only opposes it.
We allude to this not merely because it is
a frebrand to the best interests of society,
but, because it is most intimately connected
with the object of our paper. Agrarianism
is monster of Foreign growth. 1t existed in
all its fury in the bloody times of that French
Revolution, which, in the language of cele-
brated writer of that day, should serve Gas
bloody buoy" TO all the nations of the earth
it exists in the land of our ancestors, threat
ening the destruction of institutions which
ages have revered and by foreigners, has
been introduced into our own country. In
any land, but especially in ours, why should
this doctrine be propagated Here, all men
are free, and pursue that course which to
them seems best. Here, labor meets with its
reward; and the industrious and careful are
certain to acquire independence. And here,
the law-the law to which all should yield
obedience--protects each man in his property
as well as liberty and his life. Agrarianism
comes to PROSTATE this law, and to destroy
this security. 1t comes to disturb the repose
of society, and, in word, to demolish the
only foundation on which it can possibly
exist.

FIRE.-A small stable on D, between 9th
and 10th streets, was destroyed, on Monday
night last, by this, in our city, of late, stable
CONSUMING element.
A War;" Order No. 37'' states that
tremendous battle took place on the 9Th ult !,
between thlrty-fve U. s. men, and eighty or
one hundred warriors, on the Wacohoota.
Ihe cool bravery and undaunted courage of
Inc offcers and men in this fight is unpar-
allelled! The Indians were driven from their
ambuscade,-but the number killed and
wounded, on either side, is not mentioned !:
therefore our readers will have to find il out
the best they can!
STRANaE.--The country for miles around
New Orleans is very unhealthy at this time !;
but the city itself, it is said, was never in a
more healthy state.
