THE ANTI-RENTERs -GopernorS PToctamafion.
 The public expectation, which since the murder of Deputy Sheriff Steele by the Anti Renters of Della ware county, has been looking for some dec.ded ton on the part of the State government, with view to the suppression of the spirit of disorder, violence and outrage, which prevails in that county especially is not to be disappointed. We annex Proclama- ton by tae Governor, declaring said county in slate o imu'recton, provided by the law of last April. The effect of thus Proclamation is, to make all person: in said county guilty o felony and liable to two yeas or longer Imprisonment m the State Prison, wlo shall resist the execution of any legal process. attempt to aid the escape of prisoners, or resist al, force which may be called out by the Governor. Such force win be called out, as matter of ourse. The Albany Argus says, "Adlu- tant-Geneal Harrington proceeded yesterday aiter- in tln steamboat. via Catskill, to Delhi, and will pesonally that the require emens or the Pro- clamaton ire promptly carried out"
 The course of Gov. Wiighi will be approved by all bur agrari;ns, rebels and pick pockets. It is time
 that inc question should be decided, once for all, whether lhs State is under government of laws, or subject to the capi ice of men who ca themselves Indians bt disgrace the they assume, by their scandalous violation of their obligations 10 society, and to theg0vernment under which they live. The Governor ms set forth there camly in his Pro- camatiOn and we trust they will ponder it we.- We too wnuld be glad to the tenants in full pos session oiihe lands they occupy, whenever il can be done withte free consent oI the owners but not tl men, IF pDli6dttuns uy tue Wclc voluntary the part of themselves or their ance stois the rents which they pay, very small m propor- ton 10 th value Of the land; many of the owners have oterd to se the fee for much less than It's Iesi valut Anti Renters say they want ihe the lands in he: why, then, do they not accept them m fee. oler men receive lands m lee, for a far e. quivaenl!

Destroy the faith of contracts, and all conf dence is anihated, both social and conimei clal.- Society is 'esolved into it's original elements, and personal s;feiy depends upon physical force. But happily, we have not reached ths extremity. and sha II not. The Renters will return to their du ty,-volunarily if they will, ,iorciblv if necessary They csnending agaInst laws which the people have ordained, ,-against principles which all civlI- Zed nations have sanctioned ,-aganst reasUD, con | science, and the Bible. They can triumph in such caue and if they could. 1t would be, m the
 end, the greatest calamity which ever beiel Ihem.- The Proclamation may be found on our first page.- The Albary Atlas (democratic Daper) contains the following us and spirited remarks in reference to | this painful subject.
 The existence, among self governed people, in a prosperous, equal community like that oi Delaware, of hand of 1000 conspirators against the law con situting part of and upheld by larger association enrolled under secret and immoral oats, acting in disguise, and encouraged by lh's cowardly protec ton to the perpetration of fragrant crimes agalns ther fellow citizens, seems anomally in civiliza ton and in lepublicansm, difficult to comprehend much more credit Yet il exists; it has selected it's victims from among the magistrates of the land, and demands, as the condition of its obedience 10 the State, the subyersion of all law Fraught as this combination is with danger and present evil to the mass of peaceful citizens, it is hardly less injurious to those who compose il, or in whose behalf Il ls maintained From the first moment of organized defiance of law, the property of the tenanty has de terioraied in value Those of them who have become embarrassed m their pecuniary affairs have been unable to find in their ample property the security for the smallest loan; those who have wished 10 se
 have been unable to find purchasers; the tax for the ordinary expenses of the organization has been heavy, and, coupled with that levied 10 support the Indians, has greatly exceeded the rents complained of and in the later stages of the organization. the peace of families has been destroyed by the crimes which their members have been led to commit by these secret combinations; the Indians have begun to demand and to lelvy the contrbation they before awaited-ior u community hls crime given them Il hold upon their richer assoc ociates-large districts have been lhoown into anarchy, the harvest Jeff un- gathered, and part ofihat r"in which is the in eviiable avenger of guilt has followed with close steps the authors of these crimes Journal of Com merce.
