If our State; and the enquiry has been frequently
made of me by my friends, isome of them delegates
10 that Convention whether or not would again
suffer my name to be brought before the people,
% which have invariably replied in the negative,
here take occasion to say, in order that may be
more fully understood and desire my friends who
may attend that Convention, to bear it in mind
hat 1t Is my earnest request that my name should
not be mentioned in Convention with that object
IN doing SO, cannot abruptly turn my back upon
hose of my friends who may desire my reelection
without saying, that it does not proceed from apa-

shrink from an imperative demand upon my services
such as they might be-but duty to my family

be able to make another and hope more suitable
selection. At the same time, however, am far from
forgetting the honors which you, in your kindness
have fit to bestow upon me former occasions,

Great Improvement in the Man ufact grc OF Salt.
1t is we'll known that the salt brine obtained from
the borings at Saliha and Syracuse, New York.
tains other matters-impurities-t the pure
shlorde of sodium table salt iron, Plaster of Par
is, and carbonate of lime the impurities The
methods heretofore practised for obtaining the salt
evaporation by solar influence, to produce the
purest kind in large clear crystals and boiling down
in kettles, to obtain an impure but rapidly formed
salt. By neither of these processes the salt OBJ
tanned pure, and the boiling plan was expensive
one. A new process has been introduced into the
salt manufacture by the discoyerer, Saml B. How'd,
of Syracuse New York, the inventor of the we'll
known 9 How'd Wheel His plan is entirely differ
ent from all others 1t consists in forcing the brine
directly from the State Reservoirs into heaters, and
from thence to upper steam chamber, from which
it descends to a receiver then up into main evar-
Grating boiler, and from it into open or crystazing
vessels where the salt is deposited While the brine
is going through these separate processes, the iron
and plaster are thrown down in the heaters, and
the brine is contemplated in the upper steam cham
and when it passes into the receiver it settles after
which the brine that is left is pure containing the
chloride of soda only and is passed into the evapor
atng boiler, where the surplus water is removed by
evaporation until the brine is very strong about
one hafbeyond saturaton in which state it is blown
out into the crystalizing vessels. and the complete
evaporation is then accomplished by the heat of
waste steam. The impurities are thus removed. by
the principles involved. of Their great gravity when
thus mechanically suspended in the liquid. The
new process is scientific onethe salt produced is
like driven snow. and the crystals exceedingly
beautiful. The discovery is of great Importance to
the State Of New York. and we told the process
economies much fuel in comparison with the boil
ing process for producing the common impure salt.
