nitude The mighty question of the public works looms
up in the future, fraught with the difficulties which
have already divided the democratic cohorts into antago
nisc and hostile factions and the utter impossibity
OF agreement between the conflicting elements is proved
at by the vague canal resolution upon which
the last Syracuse Convention compromised, and by the
debates OF the present Legislature.
There are two plans proposed for providing to pay OF
the present ncumbrances of the State lin the shape
of canal csrfcates,) and to prosecute the enlarge

The initiated long by Governor Marcy, then
bunker and Governor Of the State, namely the compel
ling the canals to ode out Of their surplus revenues
for their enlargement The other Is the pr ect Of
the barnburne faction, following the lead Of Michael
Hoffman and contemplates enlargement when needed at
all by means of funds raised by State taxes. Your
readers all know that in the Convention Of 1s46 which
formed the present State constitution the principle
ADOPTED and incorporated in that instrument of setting
apart the surplus canal only for the purpose OF
enlargng the canals These surpluses FOR several years
past have been proved be insufficient for the required
Expenditure. What then to be done2
The legislature of 1851, in which large whig
majority attempted under the lead Of Mr. Burroughs to
anticipate these revenues without amending the cons

its fate summnry and justly declared unconstitutional
1t was by the Court Of Appeals But the same difficulty
now occurs again which occurred in 1S51-the canals
must be enlarged and the democrats being the party In
power are nov the party held responsible to provide for
the enlargement.
Following out their original distinctive principles we
find the two wings Of that party divided as to the proper
method Of resuming the work The hunkers stick to the
canal revenues the and only proper means and
propose amendment of the constitution by which the
work be done and the canal tolls Of future years
pledged to pay for It. The barnburner and sots on the
other hand propose direct tax upon the real and per
