IMMERSION or MICHIGAN.

1t will become the duty of the Board of Re-
gents, at their annual meeting next month, 10
elect President of this institution.
The selection of this officer is matter oil
deep interest to the people OF this state, be-
cause upon it will depend the issue OF the ques-
ton, whether the institution shall occupy the
bigh station which its endowment and powers
entitle it to; or whether its energies and capa-
cities for usefulness, shall be wasted and worn
away, until it becomes scott and by-word
among the people.
The President of the literary institution, gives
tone and character to all its operations; he
calls around him and organizes an adminlstra-
ton: he is, or would be, the head and ANNA
ling spirit of it's administration. If the Presi-
dent is weak and inefficient man, the Univer-
sity, under his guidance, sinks into insignii-
canoe and contempt If he is strong, ener-
getc, efficient man, the institution fourishes,
and proves strong and useful under his influ-
ence.
In the first place, in selecting this most i'm
portant officer, regard should be had to what he
should not be.
And first, he should not be politician, or in
any way connected, or committed to political
party, so as to influence or warp his judgment
in the conduct of the affairs of the University.
In the second place, he should not be par
tizan of any religious sect, or so connected with,
or committed to any religious denomination,
as to lead him in any possible degree to make
use of his position to advance the interests of
his suit.
These are difficulties Of most delicate char
acter we know, but they must be met and dis
posed of by fearless and unhesitating action,
or they will become the rock on which the well
being of our University will be wrecked.
We think it must be manifest to all thinking
minds, that the moment this or any other liter
airy institution, becomrs 4 bone of contention,
or matter of speculation and use, for politi-
clans or religious sects, that at that moment
their doom is sealed and its usefulness done.
1t becomes therefore of the first importance to
guard rs far as possible, against this evil.
A respected correspondent handed us the
foregoing for the Free Press, and as the views
are we'll expressed, and embrace our own as far
rs he has gone, we cheerfully give it place.
The Importance of the University to the people
of Michigan, can not be over stated--and Judi
cious men will readily appreciate the views ex-
pressed by our correspondent on the particular
point touched upon by him. We are utterly
opposed to all sectarianism in the management
of the observation-disclosures it cannot fail to i'm
pair its usefulness. The names of several per-
sons have been mentioned in connection with
the Presidency--the Rev. JOSEPH PENNEY, Of
Grand Rapids, late President of Hamilton Col
lege, N. Y--and Hon. HENRY BARNARD, and
perhaps others. We give no opinion concern
ing individuals--the principles upon which an
appointment should be made, ought first to be
settled. bet, Free Press.

The Legislature of Connecticut adjourned

The Legislature of Connecticut adjourned
sine die yesterday. The House, previous to
the adjournment, passed resolution endorsing
the compromise resolutions, and sustaining the
Fugitive Slave law, by a large majority; but the
Senate declined to concur. 1t is this difference
between the two branches which has prevented
the election of n United Stntes Senator. 1t is
to be hoped that the next Senate will be wiser
and more patriotic than that which has just
adjourned N. Y. Herald, July 3, 1851.

THE COMPROMISE" IN THE SOUTH.


According to the New Orleans Bee, the Com
promise is SO strong in the South that it is highly
questionable whether any State, except South Ca
rolina, numbers majority of its opponents. GEoR-
eIA is willing to take it; ALABAMA makes wry
face or two, but will undoubtedly swallow it
NORTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA, and MARYLAND are
overwhelmingly in its favor; FLORIDA is decidedly
for the Compromise; in LOUISIANA thsre are abso-
lutely no fre-eaters, or none that dareavow them
selves such; ARKANSAS is so much ont of the way
that we hardly know the true state Of public opin-
ion there, but we believe it to be soud; Missouri,
TENNESSEE, and KENTUCKY are CLEARLY and une-
quivocally for the Compromise; n MISSISSIPPI
alone does there exist wel-defnedand broad diff
ference of sentiment and there ontest is even
now in progress that will satisfactorily attest the
true feeling of the State. We are firmly convinced
that MISSISSIPPI cannot be induced 10 waver in her
allegiance to the Union, persuaded to reject the
measure by which peace and harmony were re-
stored Petersburg LateMgencer
