Nor PLEASED. 1T is a. true now rs in
the times Of Hudibras, that no thief ever
felt the halter draw with good opinion of
the law. That the loyal Leagues should
be displeased with the recent action Of the
Anne Arundel farmers in this State is
therefore, quite natural The thing, in
fact. was to have been expected. The
experience Of mankind shows that pro-
scription has no fercer enemy than the
proscriptionist VIXEN it is himself and not
some ether mar who is .'ofth faction that
rs wronged." But is intolerance Untitled
70. or has it right to expect liberation !:
Tc tolerate intolerance j. to encourage and
eonnive at intolerance. Hence, it is the
duty Of enlightened men to prescribe pro-
scription and hence again it is the duty of
good men to prescribe the Loyal Leagues
in our midst. The head and front of the
Anne Arundel offending hath this extent,
no more. 1t is weak invention of the
enemy. besides being falsehood, to as
sert that the Anne Arundel farmers have
proposed 20 prescribe Iaborers simply be-
cause Of their connection with secret co.
cieties. II is not against such secret So
cieties as the Masonic Order, Sons of
Temperance. Odd Fellows. etc. which
are known to be organized for charitable
or reformatory purposes, that the farmers
Of Anne Arundel have set their faces, but
