n The Courier again misrepresen" usih ieeai'
to Anti. Rent We spoke in discussion from stringent
coercive measures agains, the Anti Renters as not
likely 10 mt down the spsrtt which impels the move
mon, we say again that this spirit Of inquiry into
tho ,a,u,e origin and influences ofextensve Manors
or Leased Estates is not 10 be put down by cannon
or bayoncs II must be overcome, If al all by argu-
nen,, fact expostula,ion. Those who insist on the
high pressure treatment Of the novel opinions do IN
deed rnisapprehend the age in which they i've
and are likely to do serious injury to those whom
they w ould seem anxious to serve. When we stated
tina, the Tenants could only obtain title by pur-
chase Of the Landlords, thought we were at once
dissenting from the Radical Anti Rent doctrine and
forbdding the delusive expectation cherished IN
some quarters and played upon by the Courier that
the Constitutional Convention may annul or inter
fere with the contracts between Landlords and Ten
ants This it has no power to do. On the other
hand, we stated ION the authority Of a Landlords
Attorney that itisvrtuay impossible that the Land
lords should collect their rents by distress warrants
while the general sentiment ofthe community on the
Manors il strongly adverse TO such collection, For
these and many other urgent reasons, we have en-
treated and shall continue to entreat the Landlords
not to rely muchon the ofthe Law and the
Tenants not to nss, on abstract notions about the
right Of to the Soil and the wrong OF monoPoH-
ing it but to come together as men loving JUSTICE
and respecting Rights, and compromise their diier-
ences at once We are this Is the best possiOie
course for both parties We desire to see the Tenants
become Freeholders but they can only do 80 by Pur
chase Of the Landlords We desire TO sec the Land
lords paid for their interests but apprehend this
Will not be very fthey insist on the utmost that
the Law would give them and rely on the power OF
the State TO enforce the wholesale collection Of Rents
In short, we hold the doctrines this subject which
were plainly involved in the treatment OF 1t by Gov
Seward and are expressly embodied in the late Pro-
clamation Of Gov Wright More 8 the pity that he
held different language in his Annual Message =
Why then does not the Courier assa these high au-
thortes instead of exhaus,ng all its venom on The
Tribune7
The Courier asks what we mean by our oil
fusion to Texas grants land scrip in our last arti-
Gle. We mean precisely that very much of the soil
of Texas has been granted out in vast tracts very
much as the soil Of our Anti Rent Counties were
originally granted-and TO which we are hostile, now
and evermore We mean farther that most of these
Land Grants, or Scrip owned in the United
States and the pecuniary interests thus created
were brought to bear with powerful effect on our
last Presidential Election securing the defeat of Mr.
Clay and the niquitous'uiumph Of Annexation
We mean farther that the course Of the Courier in
that struggle was such that Though we impeach not
its fidelity to the Wing and Mr.. Clay it was
constantly quoted and appealed TO by Birneyites to
prove that the Wing party not sincere in oppo-
sing Annexation, but weud wheel about and go for
it as soon as Mr. Clays election should be secured.
We mean to say farther that we can only account
for this mistaken and most injurious course Of the
Courier by supposing that it was under malign in
fucncc in regard to Texas though in what precise
shape that influence was applied we are ignorant.
So much we meant by our allusion to Texas grants
and land scrip.
