TiFNENr The anti-rent difficulties. our readers
are aware, have created great deal of trouble and
excitement IN several counties Of this State, and

present condition Of these difficulties is this. The

expectation that they would induce emigrants from
the Old World 10 settle on them. The grantees
did so, and betrayed the expenses of many who
were unable TO provide means OF Transporting
themselves and families 10 the New World. The
