From the Coarier and Enquirer Of ys'teT2ay
The Tribune denounces the attempt 10 enforce the
law sgan. the AntReniers, and 10 bring them 70 JUS
tee for refusing 70 pay their debts ana ior nEae e
men who came to collect them effort 10 put down

~ We have here taken the trouble to pick out
and display three deliberate, calumnio1s, wan
ton falsehoods uttered in article leveled at The
Tribune in Yesterdays Courier. The first named Is
three times repeated. in defiance OF our repeated
and xpcit declarations that we aPprored OF every
effort 10 bring the slayers Of Steele to justice and
punishment We said this in our first article on the
subject written before we knew Steele was dead
and when we supposed he would recover, and we
have repeated il every week since True. we do
not think il judicious at this time to rack rent the
whole County of Delaware by distress warrants
served at the point of the bayonet but that ia quite
another matter from desiring impuniiy for man
slayers We have made this distinction so plain
tina, even the Courier only affect TO confound 1t
by sacrificing every consideration of truth, honesty
or decency.
We are pledged to advocate no measure whatever
TO take from any man any property which he now
lawfully holds except on the payment OF just ana
adequate compensation. We dispute the p0rer OF
the State to do any such thing. But that sound
policy and a regard for the public veal demand that
some limit should be put to future acquisitions or
aggregations of land by any single holder, we DO
indeed believe. But we have never intimated that
100. or even 10000 acres, should be the extent oil
any mans acquisition. We think. however that
the Eight Millions of acres owned by one Texas
Land Company, SIXTEEN Millions of acres by an
other. &c are more than can be so held without
peril if not inevitable detrment 10 the public wei
fare. What says the Courier
We never said that denial Of the requirements
of the Anti Renters will induce Revolution, while
we have twenty times expressed the opinion that
many of those requiremenis-and the most impor-
tant of them-cannot be granted. But we hare
said, and say again, that the treating of all Anti
Renters AZ rebels robbers and outlaws, the sweep
ing coniscaiion of their property by disresswar'
rants and the wholesale ejectmcnt of their families
from the humble homesteads they have redeemed
from the wilderness, will tend not to stlile inquiry
into the character and influences of the Leasehold
Tenures, as is anticipated, but to stimulate it, and
this in turn will enlarge the sphere and increase the
pewer of Anti Renism.-Lct tho issue determine
whether we are right or the Courier is
