The W ing State Convention held at SYRIA
cuse on the 9Th, seems to have been quite
harmonious one, very different from the
stormy convention Of the democrats. 1t made
the following nominations

Ex-Gov. Hunt presided, and made sensible
wing speech. The Convention passed the
following resolutions:
Rcsyired, That the speedy Enlargement Of the
Eric Canal, aud the completion of the material late
raj Canals, j. Wing measure now, it has always
been. That We pled-1 20 The Amendment, # the
I CONSTITUTIONS hunorjGiy carried through by the
aid of independent and patriotic Democrats, our
candid support, and we hail with satisfaction the
! prospect of a speedy completion, under Wing man
ascmcn, 80 necessary to the greatness and prosper
ity of our State.
R,soired, That the : tate Ticket nominated by
this Convention is worthy OF the support of every
Elcctor of the State, and that we will elect it.
Apparently the completion of the enlarge
ncnt Of the Eric Canal about which there has
been such display Of flithl ,ssncss for years
past by the Democrats, is to be made the
turning point of the election
