Canal Celebration.—On Friday morning last the Committee of the village of Gene­va proceeded to Lyons, to carry the con­gratulations of our citizens to the Govern­or and various Committees on board the first boat passing from Lake E r i e into the Grand Canal . This boat, having on board his Excellency Governor Clinton, Lieut. Governor Tallmadge, a deputation from New-York, Buffalo, k.c. he. arrived in the afternoon, a quarter of an hour before the appointed time, and was hailed by dischar­ges of cannon and reiterated cheers from the numerous assemblage of people. A procession was formed and proceeded to the Hotel, where the congratulatory Ad­dresses were delivered. T h e Governor, L t . Governor, the several Committees and a number of Citizens then sat down to an ex­cellent Dinner, at which many appropriate Toasts were drank. At 4 o'clock the boats proceeded on iheir route eaM, amid the roar of artillery and the acclamations of the peo­ple. [A more particular account may be expected hereafter.]

2fif/t October.—In Buffalo, on the morn­ing of this day, an immense concourse, as­sembled from different parts of the country to witness the celebration, formed in pro­cession, and moved down the main street to the head of the canal, where the Boa t " Seneca Chief" was in waiting. O n board of this boat the Governor, Lieutenant Gov­ernor, the New-York delegation, with the various committees from different villages, embarked. At ten o'clock the boat started, accompanied by a great number of other boats which joined in the celebration, and the signal gun was discharged from the brow of the Terrace, and repeated in quick succession along the whole line of the ca ­nal and down the Hudson to Sandy Hook, where it died away on the vast bosom of the Atlantic : a return salute then commen­ced and reached Buffalo at one o'clock, hav­ing passed a distance of 1088 miles in about three hours.

W e may now (in the language of the ed­itor of the Catskill Recorder) pause and contemplate the completion of the most no­ble work ever executed by any people.— T h e project from which, in its commence­ment, the timid shrunk back, ( and which startled even the bold, has been successfully accomplished ; and the waters of the Wes­tern Lakes are now flowing calmly on to the Ocean, in a,channel destined to become the thoroughfare through which the treas­ures of avast extent of country will find their way to our own markers and those of E u ­rope.

T h e eighth and eleventh toasts were drank s tanding; and we could not but re ­mark the feeling which seemed to pervade each individual, when the President an­nounced the toast to the memory of the la te Charles Will iamson. T h e memory of this individual is intimately connected with t h e early history, the advancement, and the pre ­sent prosperity of the western district; and we fancied that, during the brief but im­pressive silence which succeeded the toast, each one offered u p the silent aspirations of his heart in remembrance of that patriotic and good man, who during his life emphat­ically made " the wilderness to bud and blossom like the rose."

T h e Messrs. Twibels, celebrated singers from the city of New-York, who happened to be in our village, were invited to partake with the citizens of the dinner, and enter­tained the company with patriotic Songs, which not only enhanced the pleasures o f the festive board, but furnished conclusive evidence of their superior vocal talents.— T h e r e was not any thing wanting to add to the pleasure of the entertainment; t h e viands were served up in Noyes' best style, and the very best evidence the nature of the case admits of was then and there furnish­ed of the satisfaction of our citizens with the matter, and t h e manner of the enter­tainment. T h e wine was excellent and t h e company in gladsome mood.

A t half past six o'clock the bellsragain rang, which was the signal for the I L L U ­M I N A T I O N . In a few minutes our village was brilliantly lighted up, and presented to the eye of the beholder a n exhibition a t once novel and splendid ; although the time for preparation was extremely limited, the recommendation of the committee having been announced only in t h e morning, ye t such was the enthusiasm and public spirit excited by the occasion, tha t the illumina­tion was general.

To the Electors of the County of Ontario— Having in our last numlief*given t h e dis­

trict system a full and, we believe, a n im­partial examination, we will now consider the general ticket majority system. Upon this point there fortunately exists but little dif*. ference of opinion. Al l are agreed that whatever mode-may b e determined upon, it should embrace tha t leading feature m our government, ' that the candidate who unites in his favor the greatest number of his constituents, shall be declared elected. T h a t elective mode which, requiring a ma­jority of all the votes, furnishes the most decided expression o f public sentiment, would, a t first view, seem to b e best. But without controverting t h e many arguments that might be urged in favor of a system so very plausible in theory, it is -ufficient to observe that it is utterly impraeticable. In this republican government, where the high­est honors are open to all classes of com­munity, and where competition for popular favor is as unlimited and ceaseless as the ambition of man, it cannot rationally be expected that public opinion will be so far concentrated as always to select some one from the crowd that shall throng .the area of political contention. I t would besides lead to frequent elections, t he most dangerous and alarming evil attendant upon free gov­ernments. In the great and powerful state of New-York, embracing such a variety of interests, and holding ou t such powerful in­ducements to the ambitious, it would be ut­terly impracticable to unite a majority of all the votes in favor of any set of candid­ate, before the t ime appointed for the elec­tion of chief magistrate had gone by ; and it ought not to be forgotten tha t no provis­ion is contemplated against a contingency, which, under the operation of such a system, would be extremely likely to occur. The general ticket system by majority, there­fore, is equally objectionable with the dis­trict system; since by t h e former we should have no Electors at a l l ; and by the latter t h e Electors when chosen would neutralize and destroy their own strength by a divided and inefficient vote.

We now come to the last division of our subject—the general ticket plurality system. And here it may not be improper to suggest what must have occurred to every man who has reflected at all upon the subject, that no mode can be pointed out which shall.be en­tirely free from objection. T h e days of Utopian speculation have gone by, and per­fection in government n o longer dances in the eye of visionary philosophy. If we are determined to adopt n o mode till we can agree upon one nicely adapted to the most exact standard of perfection, we m a y at once renounce the attempt as fruitless.— And we are free to admit , that if the gen­eral ticket system shall be found as little worthy of our adoption as either of the modes we have examined, there can be no doubt that the choice of electors had better be left with the legislature—an expedient tha t should be resorted to only in the last ex t renv . But if, on t h e other hand, it shall be liable to some objections, but less numerous and formidable than attend upon every other proposed p lan , then it will de­serve and should receive our preference.— We are now proposing a plan o f defence; a means o f consolidating our strength, and of preserving a bold and unbroken front in the struggle for state supremacy. The gen­eral ticket system is admirably calculated to effect th is end : it is practicable and pol­itic ; equal and just in its operation, and necessarily effective in its result. Upon this ground alone we should be willing to rest its claims for our support—that it is the on­ly conceivable mode that will safely secure the influence of the state. But to render " assurance doubly sure," we will examine some of the objections which political des­peration has conjured up against it.

T h e first and main argument against it k; tha t under the operation of the general ticket plurality system a minority may choose the Electors. I t is not saying too much to assert that no man of common honesty and common sense would ever seize upon so flimsy a pretext for opposition. T h e same objection may be urged, and with in­finitely greater force, against every elective office in t h e state. Those who advocate it would entirely re-model the whole system of Sur government, break in upon one of the most essential and salutary legislative provisions, and denounce as inexpedient and unsafe a principle which has been in active operation for nearly forty years.

Again, it is said that th is system involves the occasional surrender of that cardinal principle o f democracy, " t h e rule of the majority." If our constitution were anni­hilated ; if society were again dissolved into its original elements; if the reins of gov­ernment, l ike ancient R o m e and Carthage, were in the hands of the undisciplined mul ­titude ; if a wild and ungovernable demo­cracy, as many seem to wish, had usurped the place of social order and salutary re­straint—then indeed might there be some ground for such an objection. T h e " rule of the majority" is emphatically a cardinal principle of democracy, and it will ever be the care of a well—regulated representative Republic to guard against its pernicious ef­fects. In deliberative and legislative bodies, where the point to be determined is always reduced to a simple alternative, amy dispo­sition of the question necessarily implies a majority; but it can never safely be engraft­ed, as a principle, into any elective system.

B u t conceding, for the sake of argument, that, by the mode we are now recommend­ing, a minority may choose the Electors, and that this is i n reality as serious an objection as some would have us believe; is it pecul­iar to this system? Does it not apply to the District, and to every other practicable mode ? By the system now under consid­eration, if there are but two sets o f candi­dates, neither can be elected without a ma­jority of all the votes: thus far the two prin-, ; ciples coincide. Bu t? i f there a re m o r e * than two, (as will of tdi .be the case,) then there will either be no l l ec t ion , or the can­didates whose superior claims unite the greatest number of votes in their favor must be elected. T h a t the latter result, in" any shape, would be preferable to the for­mer, will not be denied. B y this system there must, at all event!, be an election : an8 though management and intrigue may #irow the*weight of the state in a wrong di­rection, and shift it from o n e scale to the other, they c a n never create a counterpoise; its preponderating influence miist be felt in its fulf force, and no political chicanery can neutralize and destroy it by an equal or partial division

the general ticket system gives to t h e ma-, jority a greater or more undue influence than the district system; for it will be re­membered that the latter, as well a s the former, embraces the plurality principle. If the mode be by general ticket, and there are three sets of Electors, that class which gets any number of votes <pver either of the other two, is elected. Fo r instance, if there a re 90;,000 votes given in the- state, and 30,000 votes are given for one candi­date, he will be elected, while there is a minority df 59,999, which, it is said, are unrepiesented* I t is true indeed tha t this large minority have not succeeded in choos­

i n g their favorite candidate, for the very obvious reason that they were not united upon any. Bu t although they may b e dis­appointed, they have not succeeded in sac­rificing the vote of the state. T h e result is, as it ought to be, that the predorqinat-ing%iteres tof the country has succeeded ; and whether tha t interest embraces one-third or one-sixth of the state, she is as ful-t i a n d as efficiently represented as though e v k y •vote had been given for the. same candidate.

But suppose the state of New-York to be divided into thirty districts, each contain­ing 3000 voters : suppose ten of these dis­tricts to give each 1001 votes for A d a m s ; ten others, 1001 votes for Jackson, and the remaining ten, each 1001 votes for Claw-, ford : Now then, not only is the vote of the state absolutely lost by being divided be­tween three candidates, but there is besides in each district a minority of 1999 who have no voice in the election, making in all 59,970, or about two-thirds of the whole number. T h e argument, therefore, that is so loudly urged against the general ticket system, is equally true of the district, while the latter is subject to the additional and insurmountable objection, that it jeopardi­zes the vote of the state. Suppose again, that the counties of Wayne , Seneca and Yates were each a Congressional District, and that each county contained one thou­sand voters—that there were two candidates, Adams and Jackson, and that the county of Wayne , (as is frequently the case with Congressional Districts,) were a fraction larger than Seneca or Yates." The district system might present us with this anomaly, this intolerable absurdity—that two thirds of the voters in these three districts might be in favor of Jackson, and yet Adams get two thirds of the votes. Any system which involves the possibility of such an absurdi­ty, can never receive the sanction of a judi­cious and enlightened community. These are not speculative objections, but such as are inherent in the very nature of the Dis­trict system, and will characterize it whene­ver it shall be reduced to practice. All these difficulties will be partially or entirely obvi­ated by a general ticket, which, in whatever light it is viewed, will be found to hold out considerations for our support, we shall look for in vain in any other. And although objections may be urged against it, they are less numerous than attend upon everv other proposed p lan ; if it has defects, we should remember that imperfection characterizes even the happiest of human institutions; if under it the individual interests of our ci­tizens may not be as fully represented as we could wish, it is because, overloooking mi­nor consideiations, it has for its object the protection of the honor, influence and sove­reignty of the whole. T o this end it is ad­mirably adapted, and no division of sen­timent, no intrigues of demagogues, no le­gislative chicanery or political cunning can vary the result. A N E L E C T O R .

The General plurality ticket is acknowl­edged by all sound and patriotic statesmen in this state, to be, at present and until a uniform mode is established throughout the United States, the best way of choosing Electors of President. It will secure an undivided vote, preserve the influence of New-York unbroken, and give her her just weight in choosing a President. T h e dis­trict system is advocated by the Regency party, because they wjsh our great and flourishing state to continue subordinate and subservient to Virginia, where, very wisely, they choose by general ticket.

Electors of O n t a r i o ^ Y o u who, at the last election, gave such glorious evidence of your detestation of political profligacy and such convincing proof of your determina­tion to prostrate a corrupt and dangerous faction, which had with bold and reckless hands, violated your dearest rights, and dis­regarded your anxious wishes—You who then convinced the world that 'you could not be cheated or deceived by the hypocritical canting of pretended republicans; that you could distinguish between names and things, and that the open-mouthed and long and loud repetition of the word " Republican­i sm" could not be accepted as an expiation for the most daring crimes, or furnish a passport to your favor : 'Remember that the victory you then achieved, however glorious and overwhelming, was not complete ; the beaten and mattered forces of your enemies have again rallied and are now in thCfield, actively and laboriously endeavoring to re­cover the ascendancy which they then lost. I hey come forward under the same ban­ners, are led by the same men, are actuat­ed by the same motives, have in view the same objects, support their claims by t h e same empty and unmeaning pretensions, are in every respect equally obnoxious, and merit, as they then received, the utmost exertion of your active opposition. Wi l l you suffer them to recover from their r e ­cent defeat ? or will you sustain your for­mer victory, and preserve your consistency by giving them another and final overthrow t A second evidence of your righteous indig­nation will rid the state of the Regency combination, which, while in power, most

It is matter of extreme regret, if n o l surprise, that those who oppose the efol of T R U M A N H A R T should have » | lost sight of truth and common honesty! to speak of him in the manner they dJ From reading the effusions of their fej and bewildered brjiins, those unacquakl with his character and their standing, wol suppose him the veriest dolt and scoun* in the community.

SENECA.]

Mr. B O G E R T — A week or two ago, your paper, two queries were addressed! the friends of Aaron Younglove. I hi no other motive in view but to gain corref information whether or not.Mr. Younglol was Cha i rman of a meeting denouncil the conduct of the Seventeen Senator! and, subsequent to the meeting alluded f whether he did not electioneer, and final vote the Byram-Green or Regency tick! T h e fact (if it is a fact) came to me secoj handed, and all I want is a comet answf and this I expect; not however from "tj Unfortunate Fair" Young Man who edi the Geneva Palladium, (latterly christenj the Geneva Chameleon,) but from sonf more disinterested person.

QUERIST.;

From the Ontario Messenger Extra, Oct. 31 In the Messenger of the £6th instant,«

statedn that Aaron Younglove, tbeSegenj candidate for Senator, was opposed tot election of Justices of the Peace by t! people. This statement created no mi prise in this county, because it was know, to be correct by all who had any opportMJ ty of' knowing Judge Younglove's sent) ments. But, to our astonishment, and " believe to the surprise of this whole coi munity, Judge Y. has, in effect, cojitri dieted this charge in a letter to which hi name is subscribed, and which appears the last Palladium, in answer to oneao] dressed to him by John T . Wilson. 'I tha t letter he s a y s — " I this dayreceire your note stating that my sentiments on subject of the electoral law, and weF" sed amendments to the constitution, had oea called in question. That these objection. must have been raised by a stranger 1 can, not but believe," fcc. " I am decidedly favor of the proposed amendments to ra constitution of this state, as well of g1™' to the people an extension of the elec franchise, which will enable every free cu-izen to vote at the elections, as the pci of electing their own Justices of the feac.

F rom these extracts, it would seem u i J u d g e endeavors to represent the charg ; so grossly false that ' i t could only be by a stranger, and proceeds to state sentiments as if there had never been any change in them. From the fclIowinK«J tificates, which are signed by some oi ^ most respectable citizens in our county, neighbors of Judge Younglove anei -dents of the same town, it will be percti
