THE Movement

This is the title of a new paper about being
established in New York to advocate the found
ing of mammoth farm uron socialistic rim
ciples somewhere in the West. II is prof osed
by the Snobs Of the cast "to herd several
thousand laborcrs on a plantation OF s0o,OVO
acres and by subecting them to low diet and
steady work to extract from their blood every
drop of that individuality which is the leading
characteristic Of an American. Such schemes
may be measurably successful in Europe where
the rich arc supposed to take care of the poor
by robbing the latter Of their earnings, but no
nonsense of this kind that dreaming 'refor-
mer" every afflicted himself with, will ,rork in
this country. If an American, either native or
ecclimated, buys piece Of land he calls it his
oun, and no persuasion will induce him to
place his rights in the hands of neighbor or a
company with the promise Of being taken care
of Our people are too proud to be dependents
uron the bounty or the skill of others, and ii is
this which renders them so formidable in the
battle of Life. All etfoits at socializing them
or budding them together in masses to be gov
crned and fed and clothed by superiors in juds-
ment, will fail. The idea of being bound, the
notion of compulsion, is rcpugnant to Yam
KEGS reading of the Declaration, and you can
no more get him to consent that You shall
manage his business for him, than you can stop
his tendency to emigration. He must lose his
nature before he can lear, subordnation it is
as much as he can do to observe tie laws which
he las participated in making but since the
next election will give him an opportunity to
coHsidcFed Oppressive, re usuuny Eupmrrs wfru
grace to the prevailing authority. Know
Nothingism tried to clan tho American people,
but it was impossible. No sooner did jonathan
learn that a German or an Irishman, whether
Catholic, Protestant, jew or lnfdel, was impor-
tant to his interest or his happiness, than all his
oaths were broken as readily as were the withes
with which Delilah vainly essayed to bind the
shallow Sampson! The distinctive feature of
our people is indipiduafay-the doctrine of the
K.N.s was the destruction of this principle
and hence that Order lasted through but one
canvass.
Thus will it ever be with all schemes, wheth-
er political OF social, which are designed to ulti-
mate in beautiful state of serfdom, where all
are fat and healthy-where all is regularity and
order, but where no man can have the luxury
(and it is a glorious privilege) of padding his
own boat over the pillows of business or the
POOLS of politics. 1.-THE Movement will lie a
failure.

Thieves.

Thieves.
For the first time since we have been a resi-
dent of McGrcgor, we are obliged to chronicle
tho existence of thieves around us. Last week
good business was done in the line of rob-
berry. The first demonstration was the taking
of barrel of Flour from the levce; the next
night several rooms of the American Hotel
were entered by means of false keys, and boar
ders and travellers were robbed OF change,
watches, clothing, &C.. the third night about
$50 worth of boots and shoes were stolen from
the shoe-shop belonging to one Of the Proprie'
tors of this parer on the fourth night Geo
Everest, the butcher, lost sos, 90 worth of meat
Some boats have also been stolen which leads
to the conclusion that the villains have thei,
rendezvous on the east bank Of the River.
Officers are on the look for the gang, ant
and it may be gratifying to the public to learr
that several very suspicious characters are al
ready spotted and closely watched. A few
DAYS may devclopc state of affairs here which
will be of great value to future security.
| While VIC arc handling this sub Jet we woult
say that the DEBORAH Gazette of last week in
forms us that chap who registered &C. E

games of skillful robbery at that place. He

them are thieves, counterfeiters and professions
gamblers-this latter class are sboat as mea
as any villains that can be named. Good lock
and loaded guns are fine tonics for the diseas
with which such gentry are afflicted.
