RADICALISM.

1t is amentable fact that spirit of resistance
to the wholesome restraints of the laws, spirit of
radcalism, of agrarianisn, which if not checked,
must lead to anarchy, to removal of all protection
to person and property, is prevailing in the land
Our government is believed TO be the best govern
ment on earth. 1t is truly republican government
and the laws of every State guarantee TO every per-
son all the rights and privileges of human beings,
consistent with the restraint of evil passions, and
regard 10 the dictates of justice and the happiness
of others. Here every man is the architect of his
own fortune and his fame. Here is field for en-
terprise, for industry, for the full exercise of all
the noble faculties with which man is so richly en-
dowed by his Creator Why then should a spirit
of discomfort prevail among any portion of the peo
pie, adverse to social order, and which urges men
to trampe beneath their feet all restraints upon the
vicious propensities, and all regulations which
good government provides for the protection, the
peace and the happiness of the people.
But history teaches us that in every government
which has existed, men have been found eager to
demolish its foundations, and establish reign OF
anarchy. They have been urged to this destruc'

The Fan RENSSELAER, .Manor. Existing disturb

The Yam RENSSELAER, .Manor. Existing disturb
ances in New York may render the following facts
relative to the Van Rensselaer, manor interesting:
LIST. Of the Title. 1t was derived through pur-
chases from the Indian aJo' igines, more than 200
years ago, and has been confirmed by the success
i've Governments that have since held the country,
Dutch, English, and American,-and it is ex-
pressly recognized in the revised Constitution now
in that State. Universal recognition, and unnter
rupted possession, for more than 200 years, make
this title mpregnable.
I'd. Of The Tenure. Rent payable In good mer-
charitable wheat, four fat fowls, days service Of
horse and wagon, and the payment of all taxes are
the annual conditions Of tenure-with reservation
to the landlord of all the mines and streams of wa
ter-and one quarter of the amount for which any
lease may be parted with by the tenant, except by
last will.
Sd. The Rent. 1t averages about IL bushels Of
wheat for every 100 acres, and in no case exceeds
IA bushels for 100 acres-so that the produce of one
acre would easily pay the rent of one hundred a.
ores!
The old Rensselaer, manor reached from miles
below Albany to above, and was "a miles wide,
embracing both sides of the Iludson-a pretty nice

"A Factory Gm-'rhe Kennebec Journal gives
the following description of the romantic adyen.
lures of New England Factory girl y"
Miss Irena Nichols, daughter Of Mr. Nathaniel
Nichols, of Monmouth. Kennebec County, while at
work in Factory in Dorchester, Mass, some years
since, was offered very liberal wages to go to Mex.
leo, and engage in factory just established there.
She, with eight others, accepted the offer. While
there, she became acquainted with Ferrera, the
present revolving and successful General, with
whom she contracted marriage. She made visit
to her friends in Maine, last summer, during which
she received frequent letters from Ferrera. She left
here in July or August last for Aexco, via New
York, where she obtained license and was united
in marriage TO Gen. Ferrera by his representative
the General not being able to leave Mexico--a step
rendered necessary, as the parties were both Protes-
tants, and could not be married in Mexico, Cath.
Ole country. Ferrera is now President of Mexico
having his head quarters at the National Palace in
the city, ami this Kennebec Factory Girl" now
"reueis in the Halls Of The .Nonte=umaS." Genera
Ferrera is of German extraction, and we are
given 10 understand is an ardent admirer of the in
stitutions Of this country and would not be oppos
ed to the union of Mexico with The United States
A Society, extensive in its ramifcatons, all eady

Destruction Of Missionary property. The Indian
Manual Labor Society and Missionary property
of the Methodist Episcopal Missions connected
Herewith, in the Cherokee Nation suffered great
ly by fierce tornado on the 24th October. Its
course was from southwest to Northwest, striking
mill, and moving the frame work so as to derange
the machinery. The dwelling of the missionaries
was seriously damaged, the dining room partially
unroofed, and the end of the kitchen, two story
brick house, blown completely out No lives were
lost at the mission property. An infant was near.
ly smothered among the rubbish and an Indian
boy had thigh broken. The tornado passed on,
and in its course several persons were killed.
The damage to the mission property is estimated
at $1,000

IDLE VISITS.

The idle levy very heavy tax upon the industri-
GUS when by frivolous visitations they rob them Of
their tine. Such persons beg their daily happiness
from door to door as beggars their daily bread and
like them, sometimes meet with a rebuff. A mere
gossip ought not to wonder if we eynce signs that

their eyes to her enormous guilt, they very wisely
shut her up in prison.
"On one OCCASION" says Miss Webster in her
letter, perhaps when over excited, remarked in
company, that if all the black population could be
banished from our loved country, would cheerful
y 90 myself to the wild and desert shores of Affi-
ca to teach them that they have immortal souls
This was perhaps an imprudent remark. Ifso, par
don Inc. II is the only one am guilty Of Attic
time felt it, and even now know not that | am
prepared to recall it," She not only confesses her
guilt but she justifes it, very dangerous per-
son.
GAL ! need here is friends" says Miss Webster.
She probably wants to brbe the upright Judges of
that gallant State. al have only one hundred and
fifteen dollars by me. This will not do much to-
wards paying lawyers. The fees of lawyers al
ready amount to seven hundred and ffty dollars
These expose themselves to great censure by ap-
pearing at all on this exciting occasion" Great
censure probably from the other members of the
profession for working so cheap. We are happy
to find by this part of Miss Webster's letter that
the profession maintains its dignity in Kentucky
by taking all it can get, even from friendess
man in jail confined on suspicious of having an in
tent;on of going cheerfuly to the wild and desert
shores of Africa to teach the blacks that they have
| immortal souls.
| Miss Webster we believe, is still in prison, at
least we have seen no account of her release, and
of use her situation as principal of the Female
Academy Of Lexington is vacant. Here is de-
sirable situation for some northern woman of prop
er accomplishments. The successor of Miss Web.
ster in the Female Academy will have the happi-
ness of knowing that in the event of her ever be-
coming her successor in Jail, she will have the en-
tire freedom of her dungeon without any Of the
hindrances of double chains about her wrists and
ANGLES.
1t was in Lexington that The first blood was
shed in the cause of American independence. 1t
was very proper therefore that the first imprison-
ment of helpless woman for her sympathes in
the same cause should take place in a town of the
same name. But lest future historians should con-
found the two places in narrating these illustrous
events, we think that the name of one of them
should be changed.
