[A] " 'A Balk is a Base' --Any one having a remembrance of the ball games of his youth, must recollect that in he game of base if the tosser made a balk to entice the individual make the round from hid post, the latter had the right to walk to the next base unscathed. Pity it is that the Hudson folks engages in the late political movement n Columbia County did not remember that 'a balk is a base' in the children of a larger growth. When the frequent and flagrant outrages of the Taghkanic Anti Renters had apparently aroused the people of Columbia County to a true sense of their position and duty every friend of good order rejoiced.
