present extraordinary excitement IN Delaware coun

formation, the excitement between the Antl-renlers
and their antagonists in that region, mas Increased
so fearfully of late, that must not be surprised 10
| receive intelligence of bloody work before weeks OF
| even days are over. We have despatched several
| correspondents TO different parts OF Delaware county
and they all agree in representing the state OF feeling
there, TO be such as TO preclude all moderation, all
reason, and even Just appreciation OF events and
facts, as they take place among them.
So deep is this feeling in Delaware, that large
portion of the people opposed in principle to the
tl-renters cannot tolerate any individual who feels
ess than they do, who will not go all the lengths
hey do, in denouncing the insurrecuon party. One
of our correspondents there has given us an account
of the procedure of the District Attorney of thai
county towards him, of so extraordinarya character
as TO show nat there prevails an extreme sensibity
In that region IN the public mind and TO such an
unwarrantablc length did that functlonary go, thai
we torbear to quote his remarks, lest they would
hardly obtain credence, extraordinary are they
Such occurrences, however, are only worth noting,
they indicate the depth of the feeling and passion
which seem 10 be growing every day, between the
different classes OF people in that county. In fact,
the movement seems now 10 assume the form OF a
wide and impossible gulph between the farmers who
occupy property by ease-who are very numerous,
and ranged in hostile array 10 the laws and the con-
stitution-and on the other side, those who are sup
ported principally by business, including the profess
sonal men, lawyers and politicians, who abound in
the villages Ii is rapidly taking the character OF a
deep seated and vlndictive agrarian war, in which
the towns and villages OF the county will be arrayed
on one side, and the surrounding farming population
on the other
Now this fearful state OF things might be eluded
were confined TO narrow region of country but
such, unhappily, is not the case in relation to those
enures and those holding them. There are, perhaps
eight ten counties in different parts of the State
with population of nearly million of souls, united
in this movement, and communicating with each
other by means of agents, committees and conven.
tons. They have already organized themselves into
separate and distinct political party in the disturbed
counties, and by this means will be able to WELD
fearful influence the authorities of the State
well as of the counties Neither of the two parties
from whose votes originate the authorities of the
State and countless can expect to reach power with
out the votes, in shape or another, of the Anti
Rent associations and those whom they CONTROL
This is the source of fearful influence over the ac
ton of the State authorities of all kinds, and will
tend still longer to increase their influence as the ex
cltement lasts
We are, therefore, strongly of opinion, from tn,
accounts we have received, that this fearful disturb
| ance Is only IN its commencement, and that il
| growth and progress have been encouraged by tn
| weakness of the Executive and other authorities o
the state, during the past few years We have al
ready pointed the origin OF these troubles amons
the political factions OF this city far back 1929
Since that period of time it has been extending ant
widening its force in the various counties of the State
in which property is held by long leases until now
it has acquired strength and intensity that gives il
dreadful hold on large portion of the farming in
terest, and lnsgates them to murder, insurrection
and the violation of law and the rights Of property
And SO rapidly has it increased in Columbia county
