From the Courier 4 Enquirer.
The WIG NomIsArIoH FOR GovEksog--The nominh-
top Of Hon. john YOUNG 10 be the Wing candidate for
Governor the ensuing Elect ~ took The Wings Of this
City by surprise yesterday and general gloom pervad.d

hts receiving the Wing nomination by the An,i'R Renters IN
Convention gong over TO bun IN BODY dSes not le.sen
what into detail on thes biec;.
Upon reflection, however we have determined not
say nught calculated in any why 10 co, ourselves IN
relation TO this nomination. until those who made II have
been furnished opportunity 10 Justify iAelr act but hsI
and Mr. Yousc i. relieved from The charge Of Ambient

"As II regards Anti keniism the votes IN Convention
show. that Ira Harris the AniRenieis man. Its
very that the second third baloting they went
for Nj Young but Their. can be no DOUBT from the peril
nacity with which MI Harris was pressed prior The
day Of the Convention, that he was tue Anti Renters can
are told iha; Mr. Young has no conceumen, and that he

only say tina, much we hate LocoFocosm we consider
An,I-Ren,ism, an isn Infinitely worse
p. OF the 81 votes cast for Ira HARRIS on the
first ballot four at least must have been cast for
Mr. Fillmore on the second, and certainly not more
tuau eISNL lCI MI iOuHS w thitiE- tHSN -toSt
seuen to fpe So much for the assertion of the
Courier that Mr. Young was nominated by the
Anti.Rentcrs in Convention going over TO him il a
body"
And now to the more material charge that Mr..
Youngs views respecting Anti.Rentism need ex-
planation-the limitations of concealment' or mys.
terry OF some sort. We do think the conductors OF
Journals OF as high pretensions the Courier and
Express ought neither TO be Ignorant nor to Affect
ignorance of the notable facts in the history Of
our time. and especially that of our own State
Last Winter or Spring story was raised that
John Young was disposed TO dodge the Ambient
question, because, having been appointed one Of
the Committee Of the House on that subject, he
was detained nthome. by successive illnesses and a
death IN his family during most of the time it was
in session. When the Report OF the Committee on
this subject was made by Mr. Tilden. March 2sthl
Mr.. Young stated that circumstances beyond hi.
control had kept him away from the deliberations
Of the Committee and he did not desire TO be con-
sidered among those who had prepared and con.
cured in that Report, nor ye, dissenting from it.
Ho trusted an early day would be set down for the
consideration OF the subject, when he should take
occasion 10 express his views distinctly and speci-
acally, See Tribune of March 30th for fuller
summary Of his remarks)
Accordingly when an opportunity was afforded,
Mr. Young addressed the House fully on the sub.
ject of these Manorial Tenures, setting forth his
strcns convictions that they were adverse to the
general welfare but his equally decided objections
TO any other than constitutional and legal means Of
over,hrowng them, We speak from recollection,
not having at this moment succeeded in finding a
copy of our correspondents synopsis of Mir. Young S
Speech. We recollect however. that he spoke IN
fasor Of the bills to Abolish Distress for Rem, and
to Eqnahze Taxation as Constitutional and equita.
BILE. but aseins: the proposition 70 allow Lease,
holders to question the titles OF their Landlords as
susvsrtins fundamental! principle OF Law ana
opening the door to infinite litigation and abuses
Such, as we recoect it Were substantially the pc,
sitions taken by Mr.. Young in his Speech, OF which
the Courier viii probably find synopsis reported
by its correspondent in its own columns
On the 18th day OF May, the House proceeded 10
vote on the several bills reported by Mr.. Tilden
from the Select Committee 10 redress the Manorisl
Grievances. when al,hree were passed that abol.
ishins Distress for Rent by vote OF AYES 94 Noes
:: that TO EqaaEze Taxation by providing that a
Landlord srentcharge reserved interest IN LEASED;

corded as voting in the affirmative. along with three
toarths 10 ninesenths Of the Members. We believe
tho bill allowing Tenants TO call in question their
Landlords titles did noscoue up:or decisive acton.
yet Mr., Yoanss position was as clearly indicated:
by his Speech as 1T would have been by his vote
We cannot now reoolect or discover any o,bsr

to act on these questions, there NIGH, be SOME
plausibihN in demand for expressions OF his views,
bu, from a man who has thus been speaking and
voting upon them only few months since, we
canno, perceive thar any new revelations are re-
CURED. Vet we doubt NOT Mr.. Youns's ability and
disposition to satisfy all reasonable inquiries
