templatcd, and opened for the purpose of ma

section, hessrs. Wright and White, engineers,
together with several other gentlemen, started
from this village in the Chief Engineer. and
followed by three other boats with passengers,
performed the first trip on this interesting

lfany person shall inquire, what have Che
convention done during their session of "a
days, it will not be amiss to point out some OF
the benefits they have conferred upon the
community. For this purpose, Messrs. Prn-
tiers, send you what consider fifteen of the
most important provisions in the netu consii-
tuition, and appeal TO every honest, dispas-
sionate man, whether these alone do not en-
title the convention TO the gratitude of the
state, and the new constitutions to the warm
and undivided support of every friend to his
country.
l. The councils of appointment and reyis-
ion, are abolished by the new constitution.
9. The right of suffrage is extended, and
the odlous distinction between voters for gov
ernor, senator's, aud assemblymen, is abolished
s. The Judiciary system isimproved by the
establishment of circuit Judges, aud the ex-
pense Oft that system reduced by lin iting the
number of judges of the supreme court to
three instead of five.
4. Fifteen or twenty thousand dollars will
be annually saved to the state, by limiting the
number of assemblymen to 1913, instead of 40.
or $50, TO which the census would have en-
titled us, under the old constitution.
3. The senatorial districts are increased
from TO o, thus enabling the electors to
know the candidates better than they possibly
could under the old system.
G. The people to choose their own SherGIs
coroners, and clerks.
T. The Justices will be appointed in their
own counties instead of being compelled to
come to Albany and electionecrwth the coun-
Gil.
8. Undue influence and corruption prevent
ed by forbidding the members of the legisla-
ture from holding any other offices while

0. The wages of the members never TO cx-
coed 50 per day, thus saving thousands to the
state.
10. That pernicious and demoralzing sys-
tenn of GaInlng, under the alluring form oil

poses, unless two thirds of each branch Ul

1t IS confidently expected that this great
national enterprise will he taken up with great
vgor, decision, and success, by the Ohio Le-
gslaiure, at their approaching session, guided
by the intelligence and patriotism of governor
Brown. This canal is to be about 200 miles
in length, and is intended to connect lake
Erie to the Atlantic Ocean, by way of the
Ohio river. In time, when the New York
and Ohio canals are completed, we shall have
Il line of canal navigation, in one direction, of
more than 500 miles, from lake Champlain 10
the Ohio river. Well may Europe pause
and wonder at the grandeur and boldness of
our public works IN Y Ere. Post.
We agree with the editor of the N. York
Evening Post in all he has said, as to the in
telligence and patriotism of governor Brown.
But we think it viii puzzle him and governor
Brown to tell us where the money is to come
from. The state Of Ohio has been endeavor-
ing to borrow 10000 dollars for months past.
but without success. An empty treasury and

Gen. Washington during the latter part Of the
eventful period of his life, and who received
him on board his barge after he had taken
leave of the army at West Point, and con-
Quoted him to New York and from thence to
Elizabethtown, whence he took his departure
for Annapolis, where Congress was then sit
ting, to resign his commission. The ruider
of the Chief Engineer was surrendered TO this
gentleman, who guided her into the first rock
at The Falls, while the band of music PLAYED

cannon reverberated from the surrounding
hills. On landing at the Falls procession
was formed and marched to the house of
Colonel Meyers, where large number of
gentlemen partook of an excellent dinner
prepared for the occasion. part of the
