SENATE CHAMBER, DEC. 26, 1843.
Dear Sir: On the meeting of the senate this morning, on calling for petitions my colleague, Gen. Semple, gave notice that he would on to-morrow, ask leave to introduce a bill to grant an additional quantity of land to complete the Illinois and Michigan canal.
I have strong hopes we may succeed in getting an additional grant. Gen. Semple takes great interest in it, as do all our delegation. I have talked with several senators from distant parts of the Union, who say to us, they will sustain the application.
Yours Respectfully,
SIDNEY BREESE.
J. S. ZEiGLER, Esq., Peoria.
