"That its members will be called the friends of the people, and not the friends of the landlords. Would any man tax his friends, if he could help it?"

There is not, at this instant, a man in power among us a senator or a legislator, who is now the seeming advocate of what he wishes to call the rights of the tenants, and who is for overlooking principles and destroying law and right, in order to pacify the anti-renters by extraordinary concessions, that would not be among the foremost, under a monarchial system, to recommend and support the freest application of the sword and the bayonet to suppress what would then be viewed, ay, and be termed, "the rapacious longings of the disaffected to enjoy the property of others without paying for it."
The most that can be made of the necessity here is to say it is cheaper, and may help along parties to their objects better. No man doubts that the State of New York can put down these anti-renters; and, I trust, will put them down, so far as force is concerned.

Things go ahead finely among us anti-renters, and we shall carry all our p'ints before long!"
"Nothing more probable, sir, if the character Patt has given of him be true," I answered. "She tells me he has been active in endeavouring to put down the covetous spirit that is getting uppermost in the town, and has even preached boldly, though generally, against the principles involved in the question. The other man, they say, goes for popularity, and preaches and prays with the anti-renters."

The patroon turned on him enraged, but the latter without noticing his master's displeasure, exclaimed hurriedly: "The anti-renters are coming!" The actress uttered a slight cry and stepped toward the window, when she was drawn back by an irresistible force. "Pardon me," said a hard voice, from which all passing compunction had vanished. "Be kind enough to come with me."
