r. doctrine yet condemn Anti Rentisml
The Commercial Advertiser very properly recon-
monls that competent lecturers be sent into the
Ant, Rent districts to set forth the right OF the case
and expose the fallacies and misrepresentation OF
the Anti Rent orators. There is great deal more
sens, ia this than in declaring the disturbed coun-
ties IN state Of Instruction, and filling them with
troops We believe that, even yet the people OF
ali parties would far assemble to hear the mat
tr reasoned out than TO join in fighting 1t out The
peaceful resort is far the cheaper why not have II
fairly tried The fighting could be done after

Looking over the whole ground, we do not see
how the Anti Renters can succeed in obtaining titles
io their lands otherwise than by paying the land
lords for them but they render the collection OF
rem, very slow and difficult and in many Instances
make il cost more than it is worth But we hope an
carly and reasonable adjustment will yet be effect
"a. by which the Landlords shall receive fair
compensation for their interests and the Tenants
shall become the owners OF their homesteads.-
hould other counsels prevail we believe all parties
viii be suferers-that while the Landlords Will re-
GIVE less the Tenants will fare worse than under
such adjustment. They may be put down, yet in
their fall they will make themselves felt in the iu
iurc legislation and policy of the State. And those
who are urging the most stringent coercive mea-
surcs in the pecta,on that the spirit which under
lies Anti Rcntism will be for put down by such
n course, do greatly misapprehend the Age In when
they live and the tendencies of Opinion. 1t was at
the taking of the Bastile, ii we rightly remember
that the dull Louis XVI. aroused to so,ne gimmer-
ing iiea of things as they were by the tbunders OF
cannon and the tdngs of the rabble victory, ex-
claimed, Why this is a reroh = No, Sire, re-
