PLANK RoADs.-It should be lost sight of,

There three great means of connecting the city
with the country, and thus at length bringing about
perfect union of the three great departments of
national existence agriculture, manufactures and

and railroads.. The first Is not well adapted to this
region OF country when they much Travelled, but
nevertheless acts ms a check upon ibe second, while

Consequently no raiirond should be without plank
road running along side of it, and no plank road
should be without common road, to act as a check
upon the avarce Of it's proprietors. Thus the prncI
pie of competition should also pervade this department

Another why should pay attention
to plank roads, moy be found in the fact, that rail-
roads tend to destroy, in a greet degree, the retail
trade of place. The trade of this description which
came long distance, is most generally lost, and the
city must replace it BY that drawn from lesser dis
lance. This can only be done by roads which open
