Court House on MONDAY THE 17rH OF MARCH next,

1t is believed by the friends of the rights of the
South, that the State by prudent, peaceable and
constitutional legislation has in her power to rem

ragement of labor and manufactures at home-by
ajudiciOus tax operating upon the produce and
manufactures of those States which have particpa-
ted in robbing us of the vast empire which we as
sisted in acquiring, and by establishing direct
trade with our Southern cities-Charleston, Savan-
nah, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston-instead
of supporting the negro thieves and harborers OF
the North, who are fattenng upon our substance
and living upon our toll and labor, while they are
insulting our citizens and degrading institutions
and destroying our constitutional rights and equal

Boston is no exception to the rule. New York and
Ohio will sustain Massachusetts, and if the South ex-

towards the North for it. 1t is wrong to expect the

city marshal Tukey do not manifest any anxiety for the
enforcement of the law when informed that 'We have

Evils Of Land NlOnOpOliCs.in Canada.

We have recently published proceedings
of conventions of Christian, in which reso-
lnlions were passed condcmatory of Land
Monopoly, The Catholics OF Canada have
taken up the subject, aud twelve priests of
Lower Canada have issued an address in
which they say Land Monopoly is the chief
cause that is driving the population of Low
er Canada TO the United States. Lower
Canada is rich in soil, timber, and water.
power, with hundreds of miles square un-
peopled, and the decendants of old scatter
ed settlers leaving their native land, and seek
ing home in a foreign country. The culls-
es that impede settlement are thus stated by
the twelve priests:
"The high price of land; the burdensome
conditions imposed by certain great proprie-
tors; occasi ionnlly the utter impossibiliIy of
acquiring land inaslnuch as the proprietor
is unknown; and the want of roads aud free
communications by land and water. But
the master evil is this, that large part of
the Eastern Township lauds has fallen into
the hands of a small number of proprietors,
whose only aim is speculation"
The doings of the land monopolists arc
thus described in the address;
"ln the hands of certain of them (tho
monopoists) II farm becomes n very piiiall.
A man takes possession of il, in good faith,
bnoyant with hope, needless Of the fate
which awaits him. Too soon, after a few
years occupation, does he find out the trnp
into which he has fallen, and is driven forth
in rags and poverty. Another succeeds to
his hopes and his disappontments. These
we may be told, are the exceplions-that,
such barbariiy is not the common law. Un-
happily facts in our possession youch but
too well for its prevalence"
Land is held by these monopolists at from
$3.50 TO 30 or $40 an acre. Some of them
own as much as 10000 acres each, obtained
at an early period either as free grants, or at
merely nominal price. Elections for non
payment Of the exorbiant rates demanded
are frequent, and whole families are turned
helpless into the forest. Land Monopoly is
the giant evil of the 18th ceniury.-10ledo

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Republic Of Sierra Madrc.

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph of the
18th instant think that the failure of the Gu
ban Expedition will help OH the new "Re-
public of Sierra Madre," proposed to be
carved ont OF the Northern Provinces of
Mexico. 1t regards this as fixed TACT, and
then gives clear intimation of further un-
lawful enterprises against Cuba, which are
to he made dependant upon it. We haze
seen nothing in print, even in regard to this
Cuban matter, more Gaugft with wiliul
madness aud reckless lust Of conquest than
the following propositions and argument of
the Houston papers:
Whatever may be the power of the
General Government to prevent the Cuban
volunteers from prosecuting their expedition,
it cannot prevent its citizens from emigrating
to the Northern Provinces of Mexico. In
one or two months the new Government of
the Sierra Madre Republic will in all proba-
biity be organized, and an army capable of
maintaining its independence against the
whole power of the Central Government of
Mexico will display its victorious banners in
the valley of the Rio Grnnde. When the new
Republic is established, who is To prevent
the viciorius troops who have achieved its
independence fitting out n their own ports,
aud under their own flag, an expedition Gu
pable of subverting the power of old Spain
in Cuha' IL this Republic were ut this lime
established, who eau doubt that All army OF
five thousand volunteers could be concentra-
ted at Tnmpico or Matamoros TO aid the Gu.
ban patriots?"
A brief Telegraphic bulletin, the truth of
which we cannot voucb, mentions that the
hrst movement against the Mexican Provin-
ces has been so far successful that the nsur-
gents huve seized the public funds and
marched TO join Carrabajal, who is designa-
ted us the leader of the intended revolution.
The Philadelphia Ledger supposes that the
term insurgents" means "Texun volunteers"
and adds that "lhis movement appears pret-
ty much Of the same character as that
against Cuba. The revolution commences
OH this side Of the Mexican Boundary, and
is TO be followed up by the Mexicans OH the
other side, on the arrival of the volunteers"

lrOntOn and the Iron Railroad.

DR.. G. BRIGGs, the President of the Iron
Railroad, is now in our City, lie has been
east and purchased locomotive which will
soon he placed on the road, ten miles of
which will he in operation this Fall. Iron
ton will then be tie depot for eight blast fur
nnces aud large amount of hituminous
! conl.
This Young City of the Iron region is not
yet old enough to have its name on the maps,
but the day is fast approaching. Its location
is healthlul aud beautiful, on the banks of
the Ohio, in Lawrence County, o., one hun
drCd and inrty miles above Cincinnati. Two
years since, the ground upon which il IL built
was II farm, covered with fields of wheat and
corn, and even now traces of the plough and
hoe nle visible in all the streets aud alleys.
One year since the town contained about
five hundred inhabitants, last April about
nine hundred and now not less than one
thousand two hundred. 1t boasts of n week
ly newspaper,-thc Ironton Register, the
Iron Bank of lronton, two saw mills, one of
the largest foundries in the West, an exten-
sive rolling mill, and machine shop aud ioun-
dry in progress of erection; twelve stores,
three respectable hotels, four physicians,
three clergymen, five organized churches
Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Reformed
Methodist aud United Brethren-and good
system of public schools under the super
vision of competent teachers
The progress of this town is almost with
out parallel even in the West, where towns
spring up in ii day. In the short space of
twenty-iour months population of one thou
sand two hundred souls has been collected
who enjoy all the advantages of an old set
tied place. This remarkable growth is ow-
ing to causes with which the public is not
generally acquainted.
|. The location is in the heart of one of
the richest iron regions in the world. Thir-
ty.tow blast furnaces are in operation within
n circle of twenty-five miles.
= Most Of the proprietors are men of in
fluence and wealth. Their aggregate annll-
al income is about 100000. And as they
nave means aud facilities they are determn-
ed TO build up a large manufacturing town.
With this view they have appropriated lots
for schools, churches, County aud other
public buildings; and have even given sites,
for the erection of manufacturing establish
ments.
1t is temperance town. There is not a
grog shop in the place. All conveyances of
property have been made up on the express
condition that no Intoxicating drinks shall
ever be sold thereon. Hence the high char
cter of the population for industry, intelIi-
gence, and moral worth.
1t is the terminus of the iron railroad,
which when completed will pass for fifty
miles through the iron and coal district to its
connection with the Cincnatli and Marietta
Railroad
With all these influences and advantages,
the rapid growth OF lronlon is no marvel. 1t
could not have been otherwise. CleaveLand

Liberty for Shareholders.

Mr.. John Cornutt, citizen of Grayson
County, Va, Virginian and a Stakeholder,
had somehow imbibed the 'lanaticar notion
thut it is wrong to hold human beings us
chuttels, TO deny them any education, to
force them TO work all their lives for n rude
Subsistence to fog them when they are slow,
10 sell wives away from husbands, and chill
dren from mothers, aud to kill any who dare
resist the masters will. III short, Mr.. Cor
mutt, though surrounded from birth with all
the blessings of The 'patriurchal institution,
had become such n fanatic that he could not
perceive them-a blindness which inpels
us to apprehcnd that he has not been n reg
ular reader of The New-York Express for
The Union.'
Whereupon, while he is quietly at work
on his farm, mob surrounds him aud de-
MAIDS that he shall "renouncc his Abolition
sentiments" He cannot do it--he might
as well renounce the suns shining. So
they proceed to strip him, tic him to n tree
and whip him until he is frightened aud tor
tured into asserting to anything they exact,
even to his own exile FROM the State. sand
the COMMITTEES is off in pursuit of Others"
Such is the liberty enjoyed by citizens
and shareholders in democratic Virginia,
which cherishes so profound horror OF the
Alien and Sediion laws. We make great
ado (uot unreasonably) about Italian des-
potsm, but wherein is it more attrocious
than this Tribune.
