ANOTHER ANTI-RENr OUTRAoE.-It will re
collected by our readers that Mr.. Fish wa bru-
tally treated, tarred and feathered, by ertain
anti-renters last spring, in the town OF Btne, in
this county. An examination in relation TO the
matter has been going on in this city, forseveral
days past before Justice Cole. In the cousc OF the
examination it was deemed important to ummon
additional witnesses, and Franklin Smith was do
puted with subponas to the town Of Bcrrr for that
purpose.
He was proceeding quietly in the discharge Of
his duty, and had served four or five d the sub
psnas, when three persons, disguised as Indians.
came up, dragged him from his wagon, took away
his papers, tied his hands behind him, bandsged
his eyes, and commenced tarring him. Az this
Juncture fourth man came up, also disguised az
an Indian, and advised them to let him go, which
they did, fret extorting promise that he would
make no return of the service Of the subponas al
ready served. II lie thus that the laws AMI course
OF justice are set at defiance, in very midst, by
a set OF lawless men, who courted By certain
politicians, and who aspire TO make the governors
and name the legislators of the State. n is time
for these things to come to an end.

TOBACCO CROP IN MARYLAND.-The Marlboro
Gazette of yesterday says;
The tobacco planters of our county have with
in the past ten days, been favored with fine rains !;
but the accounts we have received from various
sections assure Us that not even half the average
crop has been planted, owing to scarcity of plants
and lateness of the season and that the meaere
crop already planted will not mature unless the
fall be very favorable"
A correspondent Of the Howard Gazette, writing
from Elk Ridge Landing, makes a similar state
ment:
Tobacco growers have had a very unpropitioy
season. In the fret place, there was a scarcityf
flies; and in the second place, a great portiorof
those that we're set out have been dried up; aus
the want OF plants and he lateness of the seson

What arc the Grounds of Opposition to
President FiIImores

Amidst all the defamation of journals unfricnd-
y othe President OF the United States and the dis
| hnguished gentlemen who associated with him
in the National Administration, we have not been
able to discover that their most rampant antago-
nists have ventured on the romantic enterprise of
founding opposition upon their ACTS since the
duties and responsibilities of the Executive branch
OF the Governments were entrusted to their hands
From The industry and perseverance with which
every recorded speech every published letter, and
even some prirIte correspondence Of the Chief Ma
| gistrate and heads of Departments have been ran
sacked, examined, and silted in the hope of finding
matter that could be used against them, may
justly infer that if an opposition could be rallied
upon the ground Of their public private conduct,
it would be done at The loud tocsin of party
would toll the alarm the notes of a thousand Jour-
nails would peal in unison-and forthwith would
be heard the volleyed thunders of the indignant
pretenders to all patriotism, political purity, and
public virtue.
The silence Of our adversaries in this respect
shows incontestibly that they despair of gaining
any advantage by open assault or insidious insin-
uation against the PRINcIPLEs or the MEASURES Of
the Executive department of the National Govern
ment at present directed and controlled. But as
| they have not the magnanimity to yield to the
general voice of the people, whereby the most
equlVocal marks OF approval have been given to
President Fillmore, never surpassed in cordiality
or Eve may add in unanimity, since the times of
our earliest Presidents-we would like to know
| specifically what the why the National
Administration ought not TO be continued in the
hands to which il is now confded?
To this question We want facts, not assumptions
and in support of their application would be
glad to receive rsGSoning, and not unargued dog
matisn or idle defamation.

Can't the editor of the Journal show sthat the
! Wings Of Ohio particularly sound on the Com
| promise! We should like 10 effort Of his TO
that ect?-Dtmocrat.
| Well, we think should find no great difficulty
in proving that the Wings of Ohio arc at least as
sound upon the slavery question as the Locofoco
party Of Ohio, which, through lite representatives
in the Legislature elected Mr.. Chase the United
States Senate.
The Wings of Ohio, at their late convention,
finding that most Of their number were for the
Compromise, yet some few against it, and thinking
probably, that they had strength TO spare, re-
solved that they would not make the Compromise
test in the elections. The very adoption of such
resolution is disproof Of the calumny put forth
and reiterated by the Louisville Democrat that call
tho Wings of the Notwithstanding States are as
| much Free. soilers as those that bear the name -
We have no manner of doubt that the Compromise
will receive far more support in OHIO from the
Wings than from the Locofocos.

The estimate Of freghts is low, and frcights will
probably yield as much as passengers, and the way
travel will be very large. The objection that the
railway cannot compete with the first class boats in
carrying passengers, il answered by reference to
the operations of the Hudson river and the New
York and New Haven railways Both these lines
run full OF passengers, competing with the most
splendid steamers, though the road charge exceeds
that of the boats twenty per cent.
Firmly believing that tho road to Cincinnati will
yield the largest dividend ofany road in the world,
with one or two exceptions, the Intsiligencer ex-
horts the directors to go and prosecute the en-
terprise with vigor. We second the motion.
