WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.

At the late session Of the General
Of this state, the Governor
was requested to open corresPon-
dence with the Governor of Ohio, hav-
ing for its object an adjustment Of the
terms upon which our Wabash and
Erie Canal should be continued to the
Lake. The correspondence termina-
ted favorably, and the state Of Ohio
has undertaken either to connect the
Canal with the Lake or authorize this
state to do so; which undertaking (by
Joint resolution Of the Legislature.)
was published in the Journal sometime
last spring. This pledge, 1t will be
recollected, was made by Ohio since
the adjournment of the Legislature Of
Indiana. and has given great value to
the public lands on the Canal route
beyond the Ohio line, in consequence
Of which entries were rapidly making
at the land offices in Ohio. Aware OF
the new character that section ofcoun-
try would derive from the success OF
the negotiations, Knowing that the Ell
/ tries at private sale would increase,
and that a public sale OF land On the
canal line along the Rapids of the
/ Maumee would take place this sum
