' Had our Legislature seen the results which are apprehended, it would have imposed upon the company such restraints as would have induced them to make a speedy sale of their lands at a fair value, and the equitable rights o' the settlors would have been protected and guarded so that the relation of vas sals and Lords should never have had an exietepce. As it is, it is reserved to tho virtuous and enterprising settlers upon the Company's lands to unite themselves by the indissoluble tie of common interest and common suffering and coerce tho Company to a recognition of their ju s t and equitable claims. W h a t those claims are, and what are the equitable rights o f the settlers shall constitute the subject of a future article. I understand, and can quote unques tionable authority, that the articles o f as sociation of the Holland Company re quire that the Local Agent of this pur chase must be a fiutekman, or the Son o f a Dutchman, and that this provision can in no case whatever he waived or abolished. And is it true that the people of this Pur chase, and their descendants, to the “ third and fourth generation,” are to be cajoled and oppressed by a man who knows nothing of ouf wants and necessities, our feelings and our interests—who acknowledges no affinity with us, and feels that by residing among us in all the distance and reserve with which aristocracy is clothed, be con fers obligations which should silence all complaints, and shut our mouths from the utterance of murmurs against the evils we cannot endure ? I f it be true that the Lo cal Agent of this Purchase must be a Dutchman in perpetuum and that too as it would seem without regard to intellect or capacity to discharge the duties which devolve upon him ; then indeed, are we abject slaves, and our condition is deplo rable in the extreme. But it is hoped tffiere is nerve enough in the hardy sons, of this Purchase to resist, and successful ly resist the imposition of such unwar rantable measures, by any agent, as will tend to the destruction of our hopes of fu ture prosperity—As well may such an Agent bind the whirlwind with a thread, or controul the thunders of Heaven, as to at tem pt to overawe and subjugate the inde pendent judgm ent o f a free people, to the' standard of his own pusillanimity.—The people will think, and they will act, find it is seldom indeed that they think or act. wrong upon subjects of this sort.—There is virtue enough in this community to sustain a wise and good A g e n t; there is also intelligence enough to determine w h ether h e h as, o r has not capacity. An Agent possessing intellect enough to discern in what consistB the true inter ests of the Company and the S ettlers, aqd enough of kindness in his composition to induce him to adopt such asj'stem as woiild protect and cherish those interests, and, in fine, doing exact justice to all, would be hailed by acclamation as. the benefactor o f this commuiiity, and his virtues, and his good name would descend to our childrens children in lasting perpetuity. But if on the contrary, he should create around him a little aristocracy, composed o f the abject and servile, and should cut himself off from all association with the rest o f com- mimity, claiming to b e mfipitcly elevated above it—if he should employ agents and spies to convey to him' the murmurs, the complaints, the taqnte and the gibes of the. settlers—if through ignorance orin- tentioli, he should, in his agency, do man* iie0t injustice to a large portion those wijtffwhpm he did business, grantjing fa vors to some which be uncourteously re fused tO others, neither sustaining self t s a m a n o f sdhse qi^int0griis?,and firie qviricingflitqjll t^ f f a b s d u tf f i^ pfthe Poippahifsffhffthesettle^^^^ such a mfin. ciuuiotllfeil p f being appreci;|- ted as he ought to be, and “ mene mene tekel upharsin” will'^bo inscribed by this community on his forehead. ,At a future period I will communicate further facts which have fallen under my observation.

[ fo r t h e p e o p l e ’ s press .] The w riter of the piece signed “ Occu lus,” has abundance to say about “ Quack ery,” arid o f a noxious tribe of ignorant pretenders, which are headed-by the cele brated Thom pson; and that, from the lower class of the people of Genesee, there are not less than one hundred of these “ despicable mountebanks,” who are endeavoring to propagate a system which can scarcely end but in the destruction of its votaries. He also' says, “ In their practice there is no mistake”—(the only correct sentiment.) Now as 1 seek for truth, and that the public may be unde ceived, I think it would be conferring a favor on the people, for Occulus to point out the dangerous effects alluded to ; and also to point out some o f the good efieets which have resulted from the fashionable practice of bleeding, blistering, and the use of opium, calomel, arsenic, and other “ deadly poisons.” I wish, also, the writer would rite some o f these horrid cqges, of which h ’ says, “ at the bare r e c i ^ of which th'e heart would sicken,” &c.

The three Thayers, who murdered John Love, are now no m o re; having been ex ecuted yesterday, agreeable to the sen tence of the court, about' three quarters past I o’clock P. M. It was nearly twelve when the prisoners left the gaol. They were dressed in the usual manner of mal efactors, with white shrouds and caps. They tyere escorted to the gallows, erect ed a t the west p art of the viflage n ear the Black Rock road, by the rifle company ; the music playing a death march. W e noticed that the prisoners kept time, and advanced with a firm step. After taking their seats o n the platform, the Rev. Mr. ii’illmore made' a short .address, calling the attention o f the multitude to the unprece dented spectacle before them , and solicit ing the united prayer of every Christian present for tlie unhappy men, who in a few minutes were tp close their eyes on all earthly things. «JIe then addresfeed the Throne o f Grace—the prisoners kneel- prayer being finished, he addressed the people from lat Corinthians, x. chap, and part of the t l t l i verse,—^in which he in^ troduced the conl^lsion of the p iw n e r s Rev.

After parting with th^ir foiends, they tookl^avp o f each other, by shaking hands. It was a sight that touched every heart. The last they uttered were ejaculatory prayers ! may they have reached h eaven! In an instant, the drop fell, and they were launched in to e t e r n i t y N e l s o n and Isaac died with out a struggle—and but little was appa rent in the case of Israel. A momentary shriek followed among the people, and all was still. I ’he bodies hung for about half an hour, and then were d elivered to their friends; and we understand were carried to Boston for interment. The prisoners conducted with thg ut most propriety. It would be easy to swell this notice, by the suggestion presented to the mind in the awful spectacle that appeared be fore u s ; but we have no heart to do i t ; it must and will speak for itself. Suffice it to say, that the causes that brought these young men to the gallows, may be a ttri buted to the want o f parental religious in struction. How must these facts affect the h e a r ts o f p a r e n t s ! H a d th e s e youths been brought up “ m the way they should go,” we hfive no reason to believe they would have come to an ignprainious end. Nekson was 25 years old, Israel, jr. 23, and Isaac 21. The two eldest have left. Avives and children, that well demand our svtDDathies. Their anguish is extreme. They have a sister, who on her last visit to thorn, was so much overcome, that she uttered shrieks which reached every cell in the prison, and drew tears even in the hardy leIon'’s eyes. Their mother on the s.ame occasion, left them in indiscribabic airony. Tliere are various calculations of the number of people who were present—be ing differently estimated, from twenty to thirty thousand. Although the multitude was so great, we have heard of no acci dents. On t he morning of the execution the fath- cr ofrhe Thayers was released from pris on on his own bail. He has left the place, but alas ! can he ever forget th'-> moment of his last parting with hL sons. Thev were dres,secl in tin ir grave clothes; and the shock overcame him.
