It may be well here to mention, to correct misapprehension which seems to prevail with some, that the services of the officers of this Society are entirely gralvitous,.fix\A that their only recompense for the time, trouble and expense which they use in its service, is found in its prosperity and usefulness. Resolved, That a Tariff with discrimination for revenue, is decidedly opposed to protection, and that a,I the pretences of our political opponents, that (hey are in favorofdiscrimmating duties, are calculated to deceive and mislead. Resolved, That the joint resolutions passed by the Congress of the U S, at its last session, pro her for tire-Inst \days has been extjemely warm. • The Ther mometer kept at the 0. C.

Resolved^ That t||e nnhnynfinn ofa Inrg«-»lave— holding territory by tho Udvernmcnt of (he United Stales, with the declared intention of giving strength to tbe institution of domestic slavery in these Stales, is an alarming encroachment upon the rights of the freemen of tho Union—a perver- ainn of tho principles of republican government— n deliberalo assault upon the compromises of the Constitution, and demands the strenuous, united and persevering opposition of all persons who claim to be the friends of human liberty.

The greatest descent is about four miles distance, where the stream falls 140 feet at a shiale 1cnp, surrounded by nil ihe rioncomhaTrrs of wild and beautiful scenery which render such places attractive to the lovers of nature. I shall not bore any one with statistics of the number of factories, the quantity of spindles and looms, or the grossatnount of the annua! products. It is sufficient to say that they arc probably not a tenlh part of what they might, and very likely ot someday, will be. The stream is most interest- injj to the stranger from its picturesque falls, upon which art has as yet made no greater encroach ment than a defunct saw-mill, the dilapidated tenement of which, perched on the rocky summit, is rather a pretty iteifiin the scenery. \ThcLlke is a beautiful blue sheet of clear water spread be tween gently descending hills—but UjaV »«• *\r thins more' lhan.a pleasant mewerit'in the land- ^cape-on-owartefhoon^s-rideiJid -it -not-also afford the means of recreation and exercise -by sailing nnd rowinff, and of rare sport to the fisherman, its waters teem with perrh and pickerel, and an abundance of more common fisB. I am told—and my own experience so far as it goes, confirms it—that there is not a drive in the vicinity of Cazenovia which does not open to view the most beautiful landscapes. From each bill the village and the lake are presented in new as pects. The roads are always good, of which I had abundant proof in going to Fayetteville, on the Fourth. It had rained almost uninterrupted ly, except on the day immediately pre'ccdinp;, fur four days, nnd yet it would have been easy to have avoided muddying more of the carriage wheels than the tire, in a drive of nearly SO miles. On ibis ride we came to the brow of a hill more than 900 feet above the cannl, nnd nearly 1300 feet above tide level, from which one ofthe most magnificent views in the world Was presented.— The Oneida Lake in its whole extent, formed a principal feature in front, behind which the un broken woods extended till they were blended with fhe sky. Itls'tbounht that but for the woods. Lake Ontario would be visible from this point, and on a frosty winter's rooming the mist rising from its waters is discernible. To the west, the Onondaga Lake.appeared, and at the east, the hills 6f the Mohawk valley for n consid erable distance. The view in front extends more than 40 miles, and the sweep ofthe horizon must embrace several hundred miles. At all events, although there may be many as fine views else where, this is very well worth looking at, when one is on the spot. We were oo our way to the celebration ofthe Fourth at Fayetteville,\ but we turned aside about a mile from that place to examine oneoftbe mos£ remarkable natural curiosities 1 have ever seen.
