The Anti-Rcnt Troubles in Delaware Co.
NIw-YoRK. Aug IL, l-35.
To he Editor Of The Tribune;
Abou, a month ago you published my reply to para
graph in your paper attacking the agents Of landowners
in the County of Delaware. After the lapse Of month
and during my absence from home find in the Tribune
an article signed T. in to my statement, and
Astounding in such gross abricaions designed to nc
deep injury on my character that am equally at loss
to account for the nagny Of the assaan and for The
TACT that gross libel could have found admission into
your columns.
Nv communication stated that had free and full
conversation with most Of certain Ann Rent Deegai on
that came 10 NewYork well as with the owners OF the
lands and heard Of acts committed by the agents Of
which their principals would not approve ! did not
assert that met the delegation in the presence OF the
landowners nor have learned that there was any sucn
meeting: bat cOnveTscd with several of the landown
ers for whom am agent and who had been called on by
the delegates and heard OF no act done by the agent
which they would not Justify and which was no, per
fpcty iusiiahlc itself The only act lusianccd by
is that writ Of cioctmcnt was served on David Taylor
the gnce OF leased lot (whOsc rent had run seven
years. without giving him notice where to pay his rent
OF the probability that Mr.. Taylor who does not reside
very far from Delhi and who written To sevHa tiincs
did not find out in the of years where 10
pay his rent the public must judge. declaration IN
eectmon served him because il was supposed 10
hc the only way the could be collected the lien on
the land being in this the only available security
and the heavy bin of costs TO which he was subjected

hundred sixty acres for I'VE hundred and eight dollars
at which time than two hundred dollars of rent
was thrown of by the agent besides the interest
Ia reply 10 the false and calumniOus statement design
ed show that suits have been brought merely for the
purpose of making bills Of cost, need only repeat sub
staniiay what stated IN my first communication, that
during any period OF time IN the last twenty years,
brought suits in scarcely in hundred of the
in which, in regard 70 any other species OF debt
such would be considered perfectly justihabc
and that in of the the costs had been entire
~ or in part reunited payment OF the rent and that
large tract belonging 10 the heirs of the late Gen.
Lewis) where great numbers in arrear. suits bad
been brOugh, since the commencement OF my agency,
except against single individual perfectly able to pay,
and that before he sued he was offered the privilege
Of settling his rent for considerably less than the
due winch offer renewed after suit brought with
the addition that of would be charged. and
thst time would be given for payment of part OF the
rent And the reply OF T. 10 this - tina, there has al
ways been doubt the land between the branches
fairly belonging the original grant OF the Hardenbergh
patent. This Is the aiment that up 10 THIS time has
kept alive the aniIc excitement SANDER of titles
Every thing has been done that the most thorough in
rendiarsm could do to infame the minds OF the people
n regard TO titles derived from lhe most authentic
sources and in various ways recognized by Judicial de-
islons by OF the Legislature and by Deaceabe
Oyment during the last niiy years Bat this preteXt be

treat public question" as 1t has been called has now
iwindltd down % mere personal controversy and mar
minded and malignant assaults upon the private
haractcr of individuals And the ,ppetie for personal
.andcr grows by what it feeds on ske that OF the tiger
that having tasted human neh never dessts from
pursuing mrn
In reference my statement that many thousands of
dollars of had been thrown of where the rents had
accumulated say tina, may be IN regard To ofhs.
but surely Mr. III does not mean 10 nsnuhie hat ne has
thrown off or been the means of having IL thrown Oh,
when he could collect H." &c do not insinua,e II,
but assert II as a fact easy 10 be proved
He goes on state that the tenants complained 10 Nj
White one of the landlords Of whom Mr. ii is the agent,
that ths tenants complained that they obliged 70
Jake yearly leases with the promise that they should

soil came sale and then have Il the same AS Wild land
and afer clearing and fencing II the rents had been
raised the making further Improvements, go
hat they cannot pay II. &c. To this reply that the
of that sort have been gwen with the express I'M
iersiandng that The tenant not willing purchase
and did not find purchaser when the land should come
for sale the might sell II 10 some other person
