igan City, passes through this place about an O.
quail distance between the two important points.
The fact is admitted that it will be one of the
greatest thoroughfares in the western country.

for many distinguished favours and honours con.
lerrcd upon my family, ] am bound 10 her by al
the motives which could operate upon grateful
heart. In my long absence from her boundaries
(Which circumstances forced Upon mc,) have new
er for moment forgotten the obligations OF haI
duty which were inslillcd into my mind in my ear
lest infancy, and which had entwined themselves
with every ieesling of my heart before reached
the age ofmanhood The part'acs ofinfancy and
the ardent affections Of youth have been stregthen-
ed and confirmed by the comparisons l have
been enabled To make by increased experiences and
more mature Judgment. Virginia has indeed no
son who looks upon her viii, more reverence and
affection, none who would do more to promote her
interests and happiness, when not opposed by OBJ
legations to other communities, and OF which nci-
ihsr her moral nor political code would sanction
violation. The great outline of the latter has had
and still has my warmcst appreciation. 1t has i'm
deed been my guide throughout my public course.
II there should appear any inconsistency between
this declaration and my support OF some OF the
measures adopted by the General Government, II
must be rccollrcted that some OF her statesmen, as
distinguished for talents aud patriotism rs any others
of the Democratic School, have differed from o.
Tiers in the application of her general principles To-
particular subjects.
II | was in erro, in giving 10 the Constitution
construction 10 authorize the tariff or protecting
system, there will, hope, be found pall'ation,
il not an cntiro redemption for that supposed po-
tical hcrcsy in the OF, repeated declaration, made
as well in Congress as in addresses TO the people,
thai if the predicted malign effect OF the tariff upon
the Southern States should be verified by its oper-
alton, no advantage which it could bring with II to-
the State in which lived should prevent my
utmost cxcrions To procure the immediate repeal OF
the laws hy which il was sanctioned.
For the very favorable opinion which YOU have
been pleased express for my public character,
and your latterng antcipa,ions of my conduct in
the event Of my election to the Presidency, beg
YOU to accept my sincere thanks.
