The citizens OF Niagara county have memoriallzed

unfinished canals, and the enlargement OF the Erie
canal which latter object they believe 10 be JUSTIFIED
by the State finances the canal revenue, the ncreas

having their outlet in the Erie canal.
The greater part OF the day was occupied IN con
sidering The powers TO be granted 10 the Governor
On 90 of Mr.. Morris's Report which provides that
neither the Governor nor The Lieutenant Governor
shall hold situation under the United States or
any other Government there was q discussion OF
three hours; and All amendment. by Judge HUG
Giles was adopted, 10 the effect that the Governor
might be empowered TO take command OF The nj
ted States troops within this State, in time OF war
or insurrection. Mr.. BRowS had endeavored To
get % struck out tailed he said that there was
now peace with Britain, but time OF war might
come and another Governor be required by the
Federal authorities TO act as important part az
former Governor tTompknsl did Last War. This
was frontier State and the Governor might be use
full in negotiating &c. Mr.. MORRIS said il was i'm
porant that officer OF this State should be separa
ted from the influence OF the General Government
MIR Hoffman smied.l Was ii best TO suffer the
Governor of this State be al the head Of 100000
hired troops besides the militia
Mr. JORDAN proposed 80 TO amend the section as
that the Governor and Lieutenant Governor could
hold no other Office of profit
Mr. HOFFMAN thought that Governor OF this
State had enough do. without accepting appoint
men,s under the federal authorities. He Hoffman
was here holding office under the people OF this
State and another under the Federal Government

had the bill calling this Convention required that
federal funclonaries should be excluded Those OF
them who had seats would al once have resigned
Office under the t. S. Government and come 10 the
Convention If required 10 do so. He was in favor
OF having the Governors on the Canal Board, and
tina, they should have seats al all Boards where
State finances are considered but that they should
hold no office under any other Government what
ever
Judge RUsGLgs remarked that when the L. S.
troops in war time, were under the command OF a
Governor of the State, they were under the com
mGnd Of riend-lhet in case of War a unity OF
action between the State and Federal Governments
would be very desirable. That the act OF the latter

Tompkins was much approved and gave security 10
the frontier Where was The greatest danger i
Was II more dangerous that our Governor should
command United States troops or that United States
officers should command our Militia
Mr. SIMMONS would not separate the Governor
from the administrative duties of the State. Some
of the most important acts of one OF our Governors
mad been performed in another capacity, witness
Dewitt Clinton and the Erie Canal.
General TALLaApGE was opposed 10 giving any
Governor military command under the U. ). Gov
erument Who did not know that that emnently
patriotic citizen. Gov. Tompkins sank under the
laborous duties Of Major General Governor, Pay

Mr. SrETsoS went heartily with Messrs. Jordan
and Hoffman in their views OF separating the State
authorities from Federal Offices and the influence OF
