Governor—Democratic State Convention—Genrral Railroad Bill—Appropriations Sor the complition of the Canale, $c. Encroachments continue to be made upon the free banking system in this State, and it may be doubted ifit will not soon be entirely superseded by the eafety fund banking system. I do not design to intimate that # bet- ter banking system than any of those in existence could Rot be devised, or that the time will never come when & positive and real mutual protection banking system will exist in America. A bill passed the House to-day sub- dJecting all banks or bankers, under the general law, to taxationon the full amount of actual capital paid in or secured to be pald in, which in no case (it is pro- vided) shall be less than the amount transferred to and held by the Comptroller aa security for the jemption of circulating notes at their actual value, stimated by the Comptroller, without any reduction for the debts ofany ruch individual banker or association. A bill has pues. the Legislature to provide for the election of a Lieut. Governor at the ensuing election, to be held in November next; thy officer so elected, will hold his office until, and including the 3lat of December, 1848. The following is the vote upon the bill as it pass ed the Senate this morning: Ayes—Mersrs. Backus, Beach, Beers, Burnham, Bm- mons, Folsom, Gridley, Hall, Hard. Jones, Morris, Rug- igen, Sanford, Talcott, Townsend, Van Schoonhoven, heeler—17. Nays—Mesers. Barlow, Crook, Denniston, Lester, J. B. Smith, 5 Smith, Williams—s. ‘The radicals (demecrats,) avowed their opposition to the bill upon Constitutional grounds; they denied the Constitutional power of the Senate 'to provide for an emergency which it seems was not contemplated by the Constituion; the Constitution of the United States says that “the Congrers may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inabliity, both of the President aud Vice President, declaring what offlcer shall then act.as President,” Ke. ; but Lbelieve the Legis lature has not been entrusted with similar powers. 8, commandant, at the ¢ Ae ae tna rent Honk, Coheine enn Ook ‘streets, District bounded by Norfotk, stan coer of Oliver and.

The democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor will be nominated at the State Convention, to be held at Syracuse on the 29th instant. It is stated here that the delegation in that cbnvention will be as follows :—Sixty-two delegates in favor of the re-nomina- tion of Mr, Flagg; fifty-six delegates in favor of * new men,” the remaining ten seats will be contested. ‘This situation of the delegation was declared to be accurate by ® prominent radical democrat ; it may be correct ; in apy case, I presume the opinion may be safely entertain- ed that the proceedings of the convention will be partic- ularly interesting to the people of this State.

I drop you @ line once in s while when I meet with any thing that I suppose will be of iterest to your readers. On my return from the Sault de St. Marie, s few days since, I stopped at the pleasant village of Geneva to see some of my old friends from the city, and while there heard much said about the Dundee salt works—whioh, together with the frequent notices concerning them that have of late appeared in the papers, induced me to visit this place, A pleasant gail ofa couple of hours on the Seneca, on board the steamboat Richard Stevens, brought me to the Dundee landing, whence mail carriage plies to and from the village—three miles. Dundee is a busy, thriving little village, situated very pleasuntly, contains about 800 or 1000 inhabitants, has four churches, ton or twelve stores, two taverns, numer- ous mechanics’ shops and several saw mills, grist mills, &o. Big Stream, which runs through the south-west part of the village, furnishes abundant water power for the numerous mills, and its banks from here to Seneca Lake, geologically considered, are singular and inter- esting. I visited the salt works yesterday. Ina bend of the stream, et tho west end of the village, 1 found a number oflaborers, some employed in sinking a shaft for salt wa- ter and others in erecting the necessary building, and masoning in blocks of large cauldron kettles, such us are used at Syracuse and Montezuma, for boiling salt. The shaft that is now being sunk is 104 inches in circumfer. ence, and has descended 143 feet. Several large sheets of salt water have already been struck, which, according to & comparative aualysis by an Albany chemist, is remark- ably free from ferrum and magnesia, The course from the bore to the streain, and the ground around the works where the water had overflowed from the bore and porated, was quite white in many places, with suline ticles. The bend in the stream where the boring going on, was formerly a “deer lick,” and the old salt spring where the Indians used to boll their salt, i» still visi Some four or five years ago the first effortaat obtaining salt water in any considerable quantity, were made, and a three inch shaft was sunk 107 feet. Plenty of salt water—brine, | might almost call it—was obta! & sinall block of kettles set up and considerable salt manu. factured for @ while, until some repairs becoming neces- sary, a disagreement took place among the several own- ers, and novhing more was done until « short time since. Some salt manufactured from the water wae recently analysed by neighbor Chilton, and, according to his cer- iperior in strength to Turk’s Island or Liver- pool, That block of kettles was morely set asa matter of experiment, waving found it successful, refused large offers for the preurises ; of course, on small a scale the works could not be made profitab! they were, and a farther outlay became necessary. Each owner was afraid if he advanced 8 to ge on,that the others would reap @ proportionate benefit, and conse- quently the works remained unimproved until recently, and the property, which was valued at $10,000, wae a tex burthen, instead of a benefit to the owners. By shrewd management for a long period, the present own- ers succveded in enticing * the dogs from the manger” by small slice, and have coneentrated the title. As the springs are on what is called the Gore, between the old ‘and new pre-emption lines from the Pennsylvania boun- dary to Luke Ontario, the salt that may be manutactured will be free from State duties, owing to the p-« uliarity of the original t granted by the State for the land compri-ing the gore—there being no reservations iu jt. The volume of salt water now is sufficient to supply six blocks of forty kettles each, day and night. ‘he gas forces the water to overflow ,and at times ejects it to the height of ten or fitteen feet above the orifice.
