anti-renters INDUCING in threats, and declaring
that the Jail will never again hold any Of them long
correspondent of the Evening Journal states tha'
the governor will be requested TO declare the county
under MARTA law.
| meeting was held on Saturday at the town OF
Moresvie, at which the Hon. John T. More pre-
sided, and resolutions adopted, strongly expressive
Of the horror and Indignation OF the people at the
murder, and Of their determination to maintain the
supremacy of the laws. From the feelings mani
tested and the alacry with which the sherlh rallied
a strong posse around him, one would suppose that
the power of the county would be sufficient Tor the
arrest and punishment of the murderers, although
ii is stated that grand jury cannot be found IN the
county who will indict them. This, for the honor
of Delaware, we are bound not to believe.
The Emmett Guards and the Burgesses, with
commendabe spirit, have rendered their services
to the governor, and hold themselves IN readiness
at a moments warning, in the event OF their being
required.
The Freebooter the anti-rent organ in this city,
has the following remarks:
"We forbear to comment upon the tragical occur
renee in Delaware county, until we hear more d.
rectly from our own sources of information from
that quarter, and until what action the gov
ernor in his wisdom may take. We are sensible,
however, that there is more OF gratihcauon IN the
camp of our enemies at this event than among the
anti-renters. We seek not to excuse or Justify the
act; nay, we condemn it uncalled-for and merci-
this matter with the calm eye OF PATRIOTISM and
philosophy, and to trace it down to its orgin-the
system of patroonery--and 10 remember that every
revolution of the machinery Of society brushes a hu-
man being in some form or another and at all times,
when not in unison with the general and particular
interests and welfare Of the people, rives amid the
6bres Of sensitive bengs--not insensate matter. We
in this deplorahle event, however, no cause to
relax efforts to suppress patroonery and injus-
tice in the land but additional incentives TO exert
every energy of soul possess to bring these to a
speedy dissolution; and we adjure our feow-citi-
zens, and the press, men and brethren, as demo-
Gratis, wings, patriots, and Christians, to unite with
US to suppress these crying evils.
"The ghtning-like diffusion ofntelligence through
the land, without correspondent development of
the moral sensibites of the masses, or changes in
our system that shall equalze the burdens and Joys
of life, where all equal, is well calculated to
arouse men to Of their abstract rights, and
impe the mpulsve of our race to acts of rashness,
and to array them in hostility to what seems to them
the execution of unjust laws; and there are, as a
consequence but two remedies for evasons and vio-
ence against the law among the irascbe; and these
are, either an organic change of usages and laws
not founded in justice, suppression Of schools and
an humiliation Of the press. Choose We between
them The ignorant ever debased and hum
BILE; and the partially informed too much inspired by
abstract patriotism to clearly discern the ntricacy
of the social machine, or to be submissive to the
laos delay"
