During the night the camp Of the piI.

assembly of Christians. The present
race of Greeks retain almost ali of the
manners-and customs of their Pagan an.

the crowd, and in haitian hour afterwards
they were all on their march for the river.

Gentlemen:-I have the honor to &C.
knowledge the receipt of your letter ofthe
22d inst, in which you express desire to
learn if any dissatisfaction exists in the
minds of the people of the State of Illinois
IN regard to the manner in which the work
upon the Illinois and Michigan Canal is
conducted, and, If SO, the protessed causes
ofsuch dissatisfaction. | wish it to be
distinctly understood that | wholly dis.
claim the slightest in ention, or even wish
to dictate TO the creditors of that State
what course they ought to pursue, but
leave it entirely with them, 1t may also
be proper for me to remark further, that
| shall undertake nothing more than to
express, in brief but frank manner what
understand to be the causes of complaint
of the People of the State of Illinois, as
they have reached me, leaving all infer
ences to be drawn from them to your own
Judgment. With the foregoing qualitica-
tons. any information on the subject OF
your letter, or any other in which that
State feels an equally deep interest, will
be furnished by me with great pleasure
and cheerfulness.-
know that there exists great dissatis-
faction in that State because a majority
ofthe trustees, in fact, all appointed by
the bondholders, reside so far fom the
field of operations, (far beyond the limits
ofthe State) as to render il nearly imprac.
ticable to preserve ready cooperation
with the State trustee, in matters of i'm.
portance, connected with the canal with
out mourning great delay and embarrass
ment, or the entrusting of the execution
to Subordinates of what could only be
properly discharged by the trustees in per.
son. 1t seems to be generally believed
that owing to this fact, the work has not
progressed as rapidly towards completion,
as it would and ought to have done, if a
majority of the trustees had been present
at all times, to act and move promptly for
ward. In support of this statement OF
what ] regard as the prevalent feeling in
the State Of Illinois in regard TO this mat
ter, Twill refer to the fact that, shortly
before the adjournment of the last Gen.
eral Assembly, a separate letter from each
branch off was addressed to me, express.

From the State Register.
THE CANAL...THR RNNlH0LlERS.

1t will be recollected that just before
the last Legislature adjourned each branch
addressed letter to Gov. FRENCH on the
subject Of the Illinois and Michigan Ca
nal, complaining in pointed terms that the
trustees appointed by the foreign bond
holders very seldom visited the work, and
delay in its progress had res lied from it.
These letters were signed with four ex-
ceptions, by every member Of the Gener-
al Assembly. The salary Of $4,000,
paid the trustees, when the State Trustee
received only $4,000, was also protested
against. From the proceedings Of meet.
ing ofthe bondholders in New York, we
are glad to see that this subject has enga.
ged their attention, and that the view OF
the matter taken by our Legislature. and
particularly the Governor, is universally
approved of, and we soon hope TO see re .
moved any, and every canse of grievance
which may have tendency to impair the
harmony of feeling it is SO important to
preserve between the State of Illinois and
her creditors. The bondhoIders, during
the stay of Gov. FRENCH in New York
took occasion to address to him the fol.
lowing, which, together with his answer
and the resolutions of the meeting, and
the remarks of the Courier and Enquirer
on the subject we give below:
NEW YORK, May %, 1s47.
Strive baye in various ways heard
that the People of Illinois are not entirely
satisfied with the arrangements and pro.
ceedings of the Trustees of the Illinois
and Michigan Canal--and as a meeting
of the subscribers to the loan for the com.
pletion of the Canal. and also ofthe bond
holders of the State, is to be held early
next week, in reference to the election Of
Trustees, which is to take place on the
9th inst, we avail ourselves of your pres.
ence in the city 10 request you to state,
for the use ofthe meeting, if such dissat.
isfaction does exist-the cause or causes
from which itappears to arise-and what
measures in your opinion, can be adopt.
ed by the bondholders, or their trustees,
which shall have the salutary and very de.
sirable effect of restoring and preserving
harmony offeelings between the citizens
ofyour state, and its creditors, as repre-.
scented by the two trustees elected by the
bondholders.
