ANTI-RENT TROUBLES.

These troubles have arisen from the TACT
that under the colonial Governors Dutch and
English, the State of New York, especially
on the Hudson, was early plastered over with
patents obtained by fraud or favoritism. A
very considerable portion of the Counties Of
Rensselaer,, Albany and Schoharie are Lord
ships, and the inhabitants tenants, paying an
annual rent. This sort of feudal tenure is
altogether too anti-democratic, to suit the
freemen ofthis country. The occupant and
cultivator should be the owner of the soil
Freemen can never passively submit to be-
come vassels to aristocretic PATRONS, who
like the lordly absentees of Ireland are forey-
er pocketing ground rents derived from per-
petual leases, " hich enables them TO roll in
splendor away from their estates, and upon
the hard earnings of their tenants. This spe-
cies of tenure is blight upon the agricul-
ture ofthe country. The occupants of the
soil have long been seeking to obtain the fee
simple TO their farms. The landlords will
not part with the unconditional ownership.
They have lost their patience. Disgaisedds
Indians, they set the executors Of the law at
defiance. They have shot Reifenburgh and
Smith, and are daily guilty of the grossest
outrages and violence upon the officers who
attempt to execute legal process.
But this is wrong. 1t is alarming to find
''the jurisdiction of Lynch Law extended so
far as to embrace districts of country in tine
very midst ofthe most orderly population in
tho Union. 1t is indeed the very disease Of
our republican blood, to start into violence for
the redress ofwrongs, which should be cured
by regular legislation.
The supremacy of the law must he sustain
ed II the laws are wrong we must appeal
to public opinion and not to violence and
blood to correct them.

DISTURBANCES IN COLUMBIA co
NEW YORK.

We learn from the Albany Argus, that dis
place among the tenants in Columbia Coun-
~:
The guardian of some infant children
last spring, rented several farms FOR one year.
and he tenants entered into written con
tract to pay the rent semi annually. The
rents were LIGHT, about 81 per acre. On the
Ist ufOct. the first rent became due. There
was no question of title. no back rents, and
40 quarter sales TO quarrel about. About
ihr Laws passed on,and no rents being paid.
distress warrants were lSsued by The guardian
ami pat into the hands of the Sheriff. The
Sheiif made the distress without auy OPP
position. and subsequently the apprisal, bur
he was then informed that the rents would
not be paid. aud that The sale would be pre-
vented. The Sheriff probably did not be-
lieve these threats, as he made no provision
to repel any opposition, hut went with sin
gle attendant To make the sale.
He was net by body of Indians, before
he reached the place, escorted to the place
OF sale, and there under threat of personal
violence, gave up all his papers and they
were burned in his presence. The Sheriff
reports That there wers on the ground over
20J men in Indian dress, and 1900 citizen
spectators, called there by the novelty of the
occasion. When the papers were burned
the whole asseublage gave three cheers,and
the sheriff left the ground without any ad
journmeIt CT sale, and there ends the dis
tress.
The Indians and many without any dis
ea;se, are holding meetings in all directions.
A general meeting for next week at Claver-
ack. and rumor says that the week after one
is 10 be held at Hudson. Every one is now
altrned.'

STEALING GARMENTS TO GO TO

The Buffalo Commercial Advertises exhib-
its Milerism in a new phrase. A female dis

sent TO the State Prison for stealing her As

TIE trial, not only from her own confession
but by other testimony, thai she had no
means Of her own for obtaining the necessary
miIenial dress, and being thoroughly con-
WINGED that the affair was to 'come off, on
the day appointed, and at the same time be-
ing unwilling to appear out Of fashion, she
just walked into her neighbours premises and
stole cloth enough for the purpose. She was
a woman of respectable appearance. and
considerable interest was made to let her off
with slight punishment; her former char
acter had been good, and even the owner of
the stolen goods inierceded for her; but be-
ing thief by her acknowledgement. and
having stolen to an amount large enough to
make it grand larcency, the law was permit

TO Auburn for two years: and all we have to
say is, that it is very great pity that some of

PAYMENT TO CARRIERS.

In our terms of publication from the begin
ming we have notified our subscribers that no
payments will be made to carriers We new
err designed to give them any trust in this re-
spect. We pay them out of our own pocket
except where we give them orders on subscri-
bers, and as fast as they earn. We did not
suppose under such a notice any subscribe,
would imagine he could pay in keeping. or
otherwise, TO carrier what he could not pay
in cash,as though this would not be just as ru-
nous toour income as any other payment. We
have therefore this week made our terms more
SPECIFIC as will be seen by reference to them.
Should any subscriber wish 10 pay otherwise
than according to our terms he can notify the
carrier and we can assent, and give an order
the next week.

ANOTHER MESSAGE.

On Thursday, last week the President sent
to Congress Message in relation TO Next
CO. 1t is too long for insertion in our paper.
1t contains history Of the indignities offered
by Mexico to this Government by the APP
probious language used by Mr.. Rejoln, by
The delay of Mexico in paying over indemni-
ties. and expellns our trade from within her
borders. The President thinks these griev-
ances would justify Recommendation of
vindi:tive measures, but he refrains be-
cause he thinks orr cause will be admitted TO
be lust bv the whole world. His Message
does not recommend any stepexcept to adopt
m. ure f r Annexa,io forthwith. The pa
ci!ic tone of the Message created great sur
prise in the House as it was generally believed
that the Message would be quite war-like.
The IutelIigencer has the following CON-
menis on the Message:
We cannot dismiss it without observing
that the disproportioD between the nagnilo-
quence and solemniry Of the oody Of the
| Message aud the comparative in consequence
of its conclusion, would justify beiiei IN The
truth of the report which has circulated for
day or two past. that The origina draft of
the Message actually closed with the open
recommendation of open war upon Mexico,
aud that the delay in lis transmission TO Con-
gress is attributable to a change which has
been wrought in the Message under the joint
| influence of unmistakable public opinion and
| Of cooler and wiser counsels than those by
which The first course has been suggested.
A WAR, indeed 4 lcar against Werico
because the paper pellets of MIR. Rejon have
| hit rather harder than those which MIR.
shannon had discharged at him. War with
Mexico to salve MIR. Shannon's bruises!

| pie, like those of these United States. would
for moment tolerate the thought of SO con-
sum mate folly ?

MoRMoNs-The Illinois House, by vote

The vote on the question of reference was,

This action shows plainly enough the folly
OF any sect leaning upon the arm of par

The opposition led on these Mormons, sep
by step; they gave an extravagant charter TO
get their votes; that done. and there being ho

NATURALIZATION.

We rejoice TO find Congress engaged uron
the Naturalization Laws. When the public
authorities of Europe have made it a princi-
pie of their policy to empty the inmates of
their jails and poor houses into ships which
land them almost daily on our shores, it is
time to guard against the influence which
such rotten masses of ignorance and crime
under the present lax system of naturaliza-
ton may exert at the ballot boxes. We per-
ceive from the custom house returns that
nearly one hundred thousand of emigrants
annually land upon our shores, capable every
three years Of forming state as large as YER
mont. The people should be aroused to the
vast importance of this subject, and every
statesman. and especially every member Of
Congress, irrespective of party. should in
staDtly apply his best energies to prevent the
injuries to our political institutions which
threaten them from this quarter But we
fear the influence of party spirit will preveDt
any salutary action. The Loco Foco party
have carried the Presidential election by com
biniug the great mass Of foreign votes on Polk.
Power obtained, no matter how, is not easily
relinquished.

DORR IN THE SUPREME COURT
PROSPECTS AT WASHINGTON,
&C.
Correspondence of The Tribune
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28th, l544.

w ASH!NGfON, DcC. ~@Otii, iCff.
Yesterday, in the Supreme Court, Mr..
Justice MCLEAN delivered the opinion OF
the Court, overruling the motion Of Mr..
Treadwell for writ Of habods corpus in
the case of Thomas w. Dorr. So that
matter is set at rest.
The members of both parties are pre-
parinclwith might and main for the struggle
which is come off next week mean
the discussion of the Texas question. 1t
is, after all, doubtful whether the ques-
ton will come up on Monday. Should
there be previous understanding that the
House, upon assembling on Monday, ad-
journed over till Thursday, it will not, of
course, come up until that day. The
Senate will, in all probability, adjourn
early On Monday, and I should not be at
all surprised if the House should follow
its example. Whenever it does come up
1t will be the stormiest debate of the ses-
sion. Its possible that Mr.. lugersolPs
joint resolution may pass the House by a
small majority, although some are very
sanguine as to its defeat, believing that
most Of the Northern Loco-Focos will
vote against it. But have reason to
think otherwise.
The debate, as l before observed, will
be a stormy One; and as it wakes fast and
furious mems feelings will become excl
ted, partizan spirit will predominant, and
the vote will be, in my opinion, more
strict party vote than people generally
imagine Should the party in power per-
ceieve, after the first or second days dis
cussion. that there is certainty of sue
cess, they will move to cut short the de-
bate by naming a certain period at which
it must terminate Should they, howev-
er, entertair any doubts on the subject,
they will suffer it to continue from day to
day until they an bring other influences
to bear upon it.
