Policy Of restricting slopery.--The
late decision of congress, in rejecting the
admission of Missouri into the union, as
a slave holding state, has called forth
from various public writers an express
sion of sentiment highly honorable to
the national character, and peculiarly
flattering to the progress OF liberal
opinions on this interesting question.

[rRoM THE ST. LOUIS rNau1REn.]

SIR-In addition to the notes of Mr..
Sullivan, the surveyor, which describe
the face of the country over which the
lines were run, we beg leave to suggest
some views which occurred to us on the
subject of communication between the
river Illinois and the Michigan lake.
By reference to the map herewith for
warded, it will be seen that the little
river Plein coming from the northwest
approaches within ten miles and quar-
ter of lake Michigan, and then bending
to the southwest unites with the 1hea-
Xxi at the distance OF about fifty miles,
and forms the river Illinois. The coun-
try between the lake and the Ptein at this
point of approach is prairie (naturai
meadow without trees, covered with
grass, and to the eye a perfect level.
From the bank of the Plein, standing on
the ground, the trees are distinctly seen
with the naked eye at Fort Dearborn,
ON the shore of the lake: from Fort
Dearborn they are in like manner seen
on the bank OF the Plein. Standing on
any intermediate point between the lake
and the river, and the Judgment is at a
loss to say (Which side the ground de-
clines; and whether the level OF the
Plein or the lake is the highest. 1t was
however determined from certain data
that the level of the river was two feet, or
thereabouts, above the level of the lake.
From this view it would seem that the
cutting OF canal in this place between
the Plein and the lake would be work
of neither skill, difficulty, or expense.
Small however, as the labor would be
under this view, it is still diminished up
on closer examination and by finding
that an arm of the lake called Chicago
puts out in the direction of the Piein,
and that an arm OF the Plein also called
Chicago, puts out in the direction of the
lake. They approach within two miles
of each other; SO that in common water
there is only dry ground to that extent
between them.---The character of their
two arms is essentially different; that of
the lake being about 60 feet wide and
from 10 to feet deep; that of the river
being in high water from to feet deep
and in places a mile wide; and in low
water either dry or reduced to a gutter.
Between the head of these two arms is
also gutter which is dry in the dry sea-
son of summer and fall; and full of
water in the spring and when thus filled
with water, the boats of six or eight tons
engaged in the Mackinaw and Mississippi
pi trade run through, backwards and
forwards, SO as to make no portage be-
tween Mackinaw and the Mississippi;
this gutter Judging from the appearance
of others now forming, was at first path
