By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Oanal Commissioners will receive proposals at their office in l.ockport, until the 20th of September, for the construction of forty-six sections of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, lyiua between Dresden ami the Kankakee Illulfi nnd Marseilles, nt the Rapids of the Illinois river, togcthervith all the mechanical work upon that part of the canal." We are pleased lo see tlio Commissioners pursue this course, as the completion of the western portion of this work fust, is most certainly the only truo policy that can or should be adopted and had the lite Commissioners pursued this policy, the work might now be beyond the reach of tho combination of circumstance thai press so heavily uporf it, and this section of country, in xvhich the State is deeply interested, bo' exempt froin the many evils that every citizen now sadly experiences. We will mention an important one. When the late Commissioners sold town-lots in Ottawa, they valued them unusually high and gave as their reason for so doing, that tho surplus Water of the canal at this place would bo immense, far exceeding any town in tho Stale, and that in a short time the feeder would be completed and the writer ready for uso. Has this promise been fulfilled? Let uur silent streets, and the generul stagnation of business answer the question Had this work been completed at tho time it should have been, the State would now receive sufficitnt revenue from it to psy the annual in terest on the money invented for its construction. Small ai this am.

unit may be, yet this sum a Ided t.i the increased value state property in this loan, would be no inconsiderable amount, and the work would not at tima stand as an apparent monument cf fully. We, however, now hope for a better state f.f The disposition manifested by the present donor to liiii-h tint portion of the canal tint can first be available, certainly argues much for the spcc.1v completion of the feeder, side-cut tin basin, so that thevcan also be made available, and be of advantage to the State. Wc are i.iformcj that the expenditure of 1,000 will biin the water to the ba-in, an.l three times that amount will finii.li the basin and render the water nl tun na.ill amount, or ten ti nes this sum, prevent the Com-nUsionera from linisliin-; it We hope not! livery considera tion demands it the interest of the State requires ii and a town laid off and yet partly owned by the Slate, is sutlering ami bleeding nt every pore, an.l stands as a bruised and broken reed ami 1 the general growth and improvement cf other favored nn 1 flourishing towns.

The simple point presented for dchate by tlie amendment, was, whether the Presi dent, in tisino his discretionary power to crer.te a public debt of any amount not to exceed twelve millions, should or should not he empowered to make a loan to en able the treasury to distribute the amount received fioni the sales of the public lands aiuono- th( stales.

Jttlif 17- Senate Mr. Calhoun presented resolutions from a meeiinir of citizens of nuckinoliatn eonniy, Virginia, at which Charles Yancey, a venerable republican of Mr. Jefferson's epoch, familiarly called the wheel horse of democra cy in Virginia, The resolutions h-clare that the extra session was uncalled for and produciivc of an improper ox pen-diliire of ihe funds of the nation: they earnestly protest against the distribution scheme, a protective tariff, a national hank, and that, in case a national hank should be chartered hy congress, rco.irdinr: it as unconstitutional, they hold it their rioht as as an indispensable duly to waire ajrainst it an nnceasinij war. and to use iiiitiriiiir exertions to secure its RK-l'EA at the earliest practicable day. Mr.

Calhoun expressed his hearty concurrence in all the sentiments of the resohtiions. This is voice, he said, that will reverberate from every state in the Union. It is portentous of the fate of the hank hill it ever pass into a law, and shows that "rf.pkal," will he llio rallying cry of the people. At the request of Mr. C.

the resolutions wore read and laid on tho table. The discussion of llie loan hill followed, and was protracted throughout the day. The first amendment was proposetl by Mr. Allen, and was in the nature of a proviso to llie loan, reslrieiinn- its application to the actual wants of llie froverii incut, and excluding- llie surplus of money raised hy loan from distribution. Mr.

Allen referred lo ihe various senii-ollicial statements mailt; in the National lntelli-Sencer, and showed that tlio deficiency at the end of the year could not exceed three and a half millions. To this statement Mr. Kvans, secretary Ewiiiff's mouthpiece on llie finance committee, assented so that it was a settled point with the whiles that this was all that could be. required to meet the exigencies of the year. Mr.

Woodbury then showed that to make out the $3.5110,000 deficit for the year, the calculations were based upon lalso data and gave the clearest evidence that hut for tho appropriations of I his extra session, estimated at four millions, and forcing uncalled for expenditures on outstanding appropriations, there could he no pretext lo say, that there would lie any deficiency to supply. Hut Mr. All cu'h fair proposal was lost hy a strict parly vote 19 to til. Mr. Woodbury next proposed to strike nut twelve and insert millions as the amount of the loan.

After ho had concluded, Mr. Nicholson oll'ered an amendment to tho effect that the branches of the hank to he located in the slates shall ho subject to taxation by the states.

Mr. Clay op posed the amendment on the ground that it would place the bank in the power of each one of the tweniy-six slatps, and possibly they might see fit to embarrass it by imposing onerous restrictions. Mr. Hen-ton said it was clear as tw and two made four, that when the supreme court made the decision that the hank had power to establish branches in the states, tliry did not take from the stales the power to tax those branches, and should one be introduced within the borders of bis stale, il would bo seen whether she would exercise that power. Mr.

Huntington remarked that if what the senator from Mo. said was correct, there was no occasion for ihe amendment. Mr. Nrfhotson said it only isserted the power. Mr.

Young said if branch should go into operation in his state, perhaps not a thousand dollars of its stock would be held by resident slockhol- lers the rest would be owned by persons who resided at a distance, who' could teaclied only hy a provision similar to lhat which required the bank of Illinois lo pay a certain per centum upon its stock.

Walker said this was tho sixth amendment be had oll'ered four out of the five first had been adopted, and this was proof that be did not oiler them fur the purpose of embarrassment. lie bail od'ercd this amendment in the same spirit, and he believed that confining llie hank lo the business of exchanges, would give suf ficient employment to its necessary circulation, and tender the stock more secure in the ratio of ten to one.

Froai the iuincy of the 23d ult. AlioiiiiouUi in Trouble. There was considerable talk in litis cily last week, and some excitement, growing out of certain transaeii ins which transpired on tho Missouri side of the river, on the 12th inst. We have the particulars fioni a gentleman who lives on the Missouri side of ihe river. It appears lhat three indiiiduals from the ''Mission adjoining this cily, by the names of Jamks lluiiit, a young man, about six feel four inches high, spare made A.

Work, sandy complexion, about -10 years of age, with a family at the Institute anil (Jkokok Thompson, about 2.) years of aje, five feet high, black hair and when apprehended, bare fooled took it into their heads to carry out their particular views of philanthropy on the 12lh hy en-licing slaves from their masters in Missouripromising them liberty, a free passage to Canada, fcc tc. Tor thU purpose, they pro-nrcd a skiff ou the day mentioned, and crossed over to the mouth of the Fabiiis, a stream which emptied into die ssisippi from Missouri, three or four miles below Quincy. The first house at which they slopped, ufier landing in Missoi ri, was a Mr. Woodfolk's, two and a alf miles from the mouth of the Fabius. They found nobody ut home except IJurr commt need a conversation with a negro, woman about the house made her promises of such a character as caused her to open both eyes and ears.

She finally agreed to meet him, with the understanding that she would leave her master. From the bouse, Hurr and Thompmn Work was left behind lo take care of the skiff) went to the fields to operate upon the malt: slaves. The negroes were perfectly willing io talk on the subject cf "liberty" and all lhat and were ready to fall into the views of these emissaries of mischief. The negroes agreed to meet them at a certain point designated, for llie purpose of leaving Missouri and their matter. Hut il seems, lhat llie negroes were deceiving Hurr and his comrades.

The place of meeting was to he the -mouth of the One of the negroes as soon as an opportunity offured, went to his master and revealed to him ihe whole plot. Mr. Wood folk, one of the owners of the slaves, immediately spread the news among his neighbors, and a sufficient force was collected at the point of meeting, designated by the missionaries," to apprehend tlicin. The negroes true to their appointment, went to ihe niouih of the river their masters having concealed themselves in the bushes near bv and while the lliroo abolitionists were making preparations to take the negroes into the to transport them to tlit Illinois shore, the slave holders sprung from llieir concealment and made them prisoners. They were soon after taken lo the Palmyra jail, whore they now lie awaiting their trial for kidnap ping.

The laws of Missiuriare very severe upon crimes of this character, and considering the stale of feeling on the otiier side of ihe river, those individuals will probably suffer a long confinement in the Mis souri penitentiary. This transaction will likely operate as a warning to the abolitionists on this side of tho river. They enjoy their own peculiar opinions in this Slate and we should suppose they would be satisfied with this. If they will so far forget every principle of prudence anil propriety, as to violate the laws of a neighboring slate, to carry into effect their misdirected and mistaken views of philanthropy, and what is due to the rights of others, the consequences be upon their own heads.
