The FORTY ACRE Act, so called, has finally passed
both Houses of Congress- and needs only the signature
of the President to become law. copy of the Bill,
forwarded to by Representative, Gen. Duncan,
given in today's paper. authorizes the division of
half quarter sections into eghths, by lines running east
and west; and gives the cultvator of the soil right Of
presumption for six months from its passage.
This law, though long delayed, now puts it in the
power of every citizen, with proper industry
himself and family home: it will, doubt be very
welcome to large portion of the inhabitants of the
state, particularly to those who have made i'm
provements public land. The first settlers,
who act pioneers to the great army of emigration
that follows, worthy of much praise and should be
cautiously protected in all their rights. The law in
question extends to them privilege quite too long
withheld: we reason why the laborng man, who
pay for eighty acres, should be allowed to
purchase smaller quantity, than he pay for nor
why the hardy emigront who first made little opening
IN the foret first erected his little cottage on the WIDE
lonely prairie, should not be reasonably protected
against unequal competition with the unfeeng specula-
tor, and relieved from the fear of being driven from his
home and the earnings of years. to begin his labor
and toll.
