Look at 10th Sides.

< One source of objection to Mr.. Lin
COINS policy is, that enforcing the laws
and upholdfng the Constitution will
destroy the Union. Will disregard
of the law, and surrender of the
Constitution to the seceders, save the
Union? But it is further commended
that the latter course will avert civil
war. 1t will do nothing of the kind.
A war of boundaries, of the naviga-
ton of the Mississippi, of the coasting
trade, of fugitive slaves, of foreign
policy, would be. just as certain to in
tervene as day is to succeed night, if q
dissolution of the Union eyentuates.
The only-safe way is the right way
to uphold the Constitution and enforce
the laws. If any one is hurt in doing
this it will be some rebel and law
breaker, for the punishment of whom
laws are nade.-Det. Adc. -lo

The Homestead Law.

We publish in another column the
Homestead law which has passed both
branches of our legislature. 1t do
mates to the actual settler 80 acres
instead of 20 acres, as under the old
law. 1t also throws around the State
new and, as We think, very complete
safeguards against imposition and
spoilation. The concluding section is
one that experience shows was deman-
ded, and will be of positive use to the
State in enabling it through its dona-
tons, to sell its remaining lands, at the
same time that it will accommodate
settlers who want larger farm than
80 acres would give them. 1t will also
be noticed that drainage, is, as it
should be, indispensable to acquire
title from the State.

A State BOARD of Agriculture.

1 have just received number of the
Detroit Tribune, containing the bill, as
it passed the Senate, reorga6izing the
Michigan State Agricultural College,
by placing it in the hands of a State
Board of Agriculture, consisting of six
members, with the Governor of the
State, and the President of the College
as exofiicio members. The member.
of this Board, hereafter chosen, hold
their Offices for six years two of whom
are to be appointed by the Governor,
by the consent of the Senate, biennially,
from candinates nominated by the Ag-
ricultural Societies of the State; each
Society to nominate one candidate.
This Board are to appoint the College
faculty. and have control of the entire
interests of the institution. The first
Board, as constituted by the Bill, is
composed of the following persons =
David Carpenter, of Lenawee: Justus
Gage, of Cass; Philo Parson, Of
Wayne; Hezekiah g. Wells, of Kala.
mazoo; George w. German, of Ionia
Oh aries Rich, of Lapeer. This Board
is to meet quarterly at the College, and
at such other times and places as they
may choose, in the discharge of their
duties. M .T.
The following remarks from the cor
respondent of the Tribune. expresses
our view of this measure. @. E. d.
'It is a good measure, and will, it is
hoped, place the Agricultural College
in more successful and permanently
useful career. Great credit is due Mr..
Butterfeld of the Senate, and Mr..
Childs- of the House, chairmen of the
Committees of the two Houses, for
