In all the opposition which the Land 1imita-
ton bill has yet met from the press of this state
We have not seen one argument attempted against
the principle involved in it. 1t meets with JUS
such opposition as does every reformatory meas
ure. Men allow themselves to be governed en-
tirely by thcr old notions. old prejudces, and
when these rcformatory measures are proposed
the first thing we hear is that creation general
ly is about to be broken up and destroyed. They
scorn to give any reason for it !; it is too rdicu
lous, too absurd to reason upon. 1t is agraran'
ism, locofoism, destructveism, and every other
ism,not even excepting rheumatism, some think
We don't think these men who talk in this man.
ner are bit moro certain as TO the destructive
tendency of this measure, than they were that
the homestead exemption was 70 ruin creation
and when this is passed. and its operations give
the lie to all their predictions they will be just
as certain that the next. thing proposed involves
runation in its character. Enlightened Legisla-
tors will not be influenced BY these conservative
notions, which have not the slightest foundation
in reason. They know il the principle involved
in the bill BE- correct it must work out good fol-
the people. Now tits certainly correct princi'
pie that the Land shall not be monopolized. Fit
be correct then it is duty to prevent its being
monopolizod and it is folly to say or suppose thai
any harm will arise to The people from enacting
a correct principle into law, or in other words
"re-enacting the law Of God"

|. P. WAIVERS SPEECH.-Mr. Walker has
either a more heartfelt sympathy with the inter-
ests of the working masses of the country than
we have heretofore been disposed to give him
credit for, or else he is most consummate ac-
tor. In the extracts we give from his speech
IN our paper of to-day, he points out clearly and
teellngy the wrongs practiced by our national
Legislature, as well as what is demanded Of them
by regard for the interests of the masses of the
people. 1t is a fact that nine-,enths of all our
laws is special and class northumberland
TO guard and protect, and add to and build M
wealth. The industrious, the laborng people,
do not ask of Congress any protection. They
ask simply that their rights shall be given them,
and then that the power of the government shall
not be used to build up nor protect any individ-
uals or classes. Give those who produce the
wealth of the country fair field, and there is
little danger but they will be able to protect
themselves but as the matter now stands, they
are not only robbed TO start with, Of their right
to the land, but every other act of Government,
is in some way to protect those who are area-
dy well enough off, against them.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has been zealously
parading the experience of Michigan under the
abolition of capital punishment as detailed in the
Detroit Advertiser, as an argument against the
abolition of the death penalty in this state. Won
der if it will have the magnanimity TO copy what
follows on this same subject, taken from the De-
troit Tribune:
Take the murders committed in this State
since the passage of the present law, and we
venture to say, could the real truth be known,
not one of the murderers ever had the thought
enter their head, before the execution ofthe aw-
full deed, whether the punishment was the gal
lows or imprisonment Look at the murder in
this city, lately; the one in Lenawee county,
and, now recently, the Vienna murder. They
were all the results of intoxication. Fit subjects
all of them, 10 reason on the death penalty, I'M
der the Influence of liquor. The idea is ride
ulous. We think our Legislature will hesitate
long time before they repeal a law that public
opinion, has so long sanctioned. tits the bright
est jewel that adorns our Statute books, and has
already given Michigan better name than any
law ever enacted. Let it stand where it is.
Strange indeed, that men gifted with ordinary
intelligence, should employ such arguments as
do the friends Of capital punishment to sustain
their position We find in these results occur
ring in Michigan, the best argument against the
continuance of the death penalty. Recollect,
these very men who ore committing these crimes
were brought up and educated under this gaiows
system. They have lived all their lives under
it, and it had its dnc and natural weight in moul-
ding and fixing their minds. Now if the tenden-
cy of the gallows is good, how does it happen
that these men who have enjoyed its influence
for years, manifest no better spirit. We say,
the results witnessed are the legitimate effects of
the teaching, and we may look for similar effects
until we have generation educated under bet
ter auspices. And if this law be repealed in
our state, we shall expect to see for time az
parently bad results. Under brutal laws men
have brutality instilled into them and they mani
fest it, and under humane laws we have human
ity "a the fruits.
We are glad to see the expression we quote
in the Tribune, and we trust there is no danger
of Michigan going back to the bloody code
