The following statement. signed by the respective
non resident proprietors OF landed estates IN the sew
era Middle Counties, in which the antire feeling
has manifested itself has been addressed TO Us for
publication. 1t will be that they offer TO change
the tenures of their leased lands and TO make sales
in fee on terms which they consider fair. We do
not of course understand what the terms are
While we would steadily discOuntenance any IN
fraction OF the law. any resistance 10 the cOnstl
tuted authorities we would urge that the whole
question be placed by the propnetors on the most
liberal and equitable footing. Albany Argus

~ Since the Argus has made the meaning com
ment above we trust it will not be deemed Agra
Ran nor lnfidel in The Tribune 10 express hope
that the Landlords will make their offer precise and
specific Fair and equitable terms are all right :
but would it not be better to say. We will take so
many years rent if paid before the lst of January
next for our reserved interest in the leased lands
that is to say where the rent is $50 per annum
We will take fifteen years anticipated rent, $3.50
or twenty years future rent 5000 for our interest in
the soil If some general rule ofequitabe redemp
ton were thus propounded, the supporters OF Law
and Order would be- gratihed and invigorated the
Tenants would know Just what they must do, and
perhaps be saved expensive. time wasting journeys
and public tranquility would be greatly promoted
Why not
