ANTI-RENTIsM IN l1LINoIs.-A new anti-rent war
is likely to spring up IN Illinois, along the line OF
the canal 1t seems that the Trustees looking the u
innate value OF the lands which border the canal have
taken steps to lease the lands question at nominal
sum, but which would still keep the title in them The
settlers these lands claim right preempton to
them; and urge that alurements held them
by the Legislature, to enter upon and cultivate them
that they were guaranteed the right of occupan.
cy free OF charge until they brought into market
and the right to purchase them then their
value. 1t Is contended that the boudholders were not
ignorant Of their guarantees that they repeated in
the law under which the lands yed and if they
wanted the right to lease them they should have spoken
in time.


The settlers ask more, says the Ooaca Free Ira
der than that their rights shall be respected and the po
Icy OF the Stnte be adhered to- That policy
courage the settlement OF these lands and to bring them
into market sufficiently fast to meet the wants of the
country. II they lease these lands nowlands which
they have already perpetual lease-and pay "nom.
nal rent next year having conceded the right to lease
them they may be required to pay real rent and that
may continue to be increased diminished according
to the caprice of the trustees forever and good
brought into market II is the attempt at least the
danger OF an attempt to create serve of this
kind to these lands that the settlers resist and it per-
iectly idle to imagine that they will submit it,


Among all the settlers canal lands with but a few
exceptions not worth taking into account far
Information extends, there exists but determination
on the subject OF these lands. They will lease
them themselves and will not suffer strangers lease
them; and he who with lease from the board Of
tees III his pock dspossess settler of his
'claim," will find himself in hot water. Ii is not little
thing to take away from his house and home
ever humble they may be, and there few men who
will not fight for them, unless opposed by the clearest
right


Such being the them we repeat the hope we ex.
pressed on former OCCASION that the trustees will
suit their interests and the of the State and
the peace ana good order OF the community by
tempting to lease the lands in question least that
portion OF them to which individuals have pre- emption
rights"
