PoudHKEEPsIE, Saturday, July, 1888.
thank you, my dear sir, for yours by the
post. Yesterday communicated to Duer our
situation, which presume he will have commu-
nicated to you. 1t remains exactly the same.
No further question having been TAKEN l fear
the footing mentioned to Duer is the best up
on which it can be placed; but every thing pos
sibe will yet be attempted to bring the party
from that stand to an unqualified ratification.
Let me know your idea upon the possibility of
our being received on that plan. You will I'M
derstand that the only qualification will be the
reservation of right to recede, in case our
amendments have not been decided upon in one
of the modes pointed out by the Constitution
within certain number of years, perhaps five
or seven. If this can, in the first instance, be
admitted as ratification, do not fear any fur
Their consequences. Congress will, presume,
recommend certain amendments to render the
structure of the government more secure. This
will satisfy the more considerate and honest OPP
posers of the Constitution, and with the aid
OF them will break up the party.
Yours, affectionately. A. HAMILTON.

The InlelIigeacer comes out with what
it calls an important development" in the
shape Of two short le ters from ALEXANDER
HAMILTON, and one from JAMES MADISON, which
it thinks, explode the right Of secession.
The following are the letters, with the pream-
bic Of the IntelHgencer:
The RIGHT OF SECESSION" EXPLODED I'M
roRTANT DEvEL0PMeET.---The doctrine of the
right Of any State TO secede at will from the
Union-being the ground upon which the State
OF South Carolina proposes to take up arms
against the government of the United States
has been defended as the doctrine of VirgiDts,
and especially of Mr.. Madison, than whose au-
thority none is entitled to higher respect.
We are indebted to our very worthy cQntem-
porary, the editor Of the Fayetteville IN. CO.
Observer, for bringing to light evidence of the
doctrine of Mr.. Madison, and of the Constitu-
ton, on this precise point, which leaves not
another word for any man TO say on the subject.
We now know upon what authority it was that
Judge Roane proclaimed at meeting Of the
electoral college in Richmond, in the year 1900,
that secession is treason"
The matter is so we'll introduced in the OBJ
server-the reason of this evidence only at this
day becoming public so succnctly explained, and
the necessary conclusions from it 80 clearly
stated-that we will not undertake to add a
word to the exposition copied from that paper,
as follows.

MY DEAR Sir felicitate you sincerely on
the event in Virginia, but my satisfaction will
be alIayed if discover too much facility in the
business of Misunderstanding. fear the sys
tenn will be wounded in some Of its vital parts
by too general concurrence in some very inju-
dicious recommendations. allude more par
ticulary to the power Of taxation. The more |
consider requisition in any shape, the more am
out of humor with it. We yesterday passed
through the Constitution. To-day some def
ute proposition is to be brought forward, but
what, we are at loss to Judge. We have good
reason to believe that our opponents are not
agreed, and this affords some ground of hope.
Different things are thought of-condiiions pre-
cedent, or previous amendments; conditions sub
sequent, or the proposition of amendments, upon
condition that il they are not adopted within
limited time, the State shall be at liberty to
soithdraw from the Union; and lastly, recon-
mandatory amendments. In either case, construct.
ipe declarations will be carried rs far as posi-
BILE. We will 60 as far as we can in the latter
without invalidating the act and will concur in
rational recommendations. The rest for our
opponents. We are informed that there has
been disturbance in the city of Albany, on the
4th Of July, which has occasioned bloodshed
The Anti Federalists were the aggressors, and
the Federalists the victors. nd our ac-
counts at present. We trust, how s,e,', the mat
ter has passed over, and tranquility been re-.
stored. Yours, affectionately,

IMPORTANT FROM MExrco-REvoLUrIo An
TlcIPArEp.-By nm arrival at New Orleans, We
have dates from Mexico to the 18th ult The
Picayune says:
Several large and influential parties in Mex
leo are plotting for change in the government.
One party wishes to join Mexico once more to
Spain, and counts upon the Spanish troops and
authorities in Cuba for assistance. Another
party-that of the manufacturing interests
trying quietly ard slowly to get up a feeling in
favor Of the return Of Santa Anna To power.
There is still another party. and not feeble
one, in favor of the immediate annexation to
the United States.

New YORK. Sunday Evening.
Ny DEAR SIR Yours of yesterday is this in
slant come to hand, and have but a few min
utes TO answer it, ! am sorry that your situa-
ton obliges you to listen to propositions of the
nature you describe. My opinion is, that a re-
servation Of right to withdraw, if amendments
be not decided on under the form of the Consti
tuition within certain time, Is conditional rati-
ficaton; that IL does moi make Ncp York a mem
Der Of The nero Union and consequently that she
could not be received on that plan. Compacts
must be reciprocal this principle would not in
such case be preserved. The Constitution re
guires an adoption in toto and forever 1t has
been so adopted by the other States An adop-
ton for limited time would be as defective as
an adoption of some of the articles only In
short, any condition whatever must vitate the
ratification. What the new Congress, by virtue
OF the power to admit new States, may be able
and disposed to do in such case, do not in
quire, as suppose that is not the material point
at present have not moment to add more
than my fervent wishes for your success and
happiness. The idea Of reserving a right to
withdraw was started at Richmond and consid-
cred conditional ratification, which was it.
self abandoned as worse than rejection
Yours, JAMES MADISON, JR.
Now We think that in publishing these letters,
with it's commentaries, the Inteligencer has sue
ceeded only in disclosing its anxiety TO explode
the doctrine of secession, and the want of an
argument to accomplish it. We agree that
when the Constitution was formed, Messrs
HAMILTON and MAprsoN preferred consolidated
to federal system. Mr. MADISON, as The pro-
ceedings Of the convention show, was opposed
to an equal representation of the States, in either
branch of Congress-. Mr. HAMILTON was in favor
of abolshing State governments altogether, and,
in the plan Of Constitution proposed by him,
gave the appointment of State governors to the
federal authority with power of vetoing any act
ola State legislature. Both of them undoubtedly
wanted the Constitution adopted without con.
dition or qualification. But it so happens that
the States to which they respectively belonged
New York and Virginia, differed from them
In both these States, strong opposition was
made to the ratification of the Constitution in
any mode But compromise was effected
and Virginia inserted in her ratification this
never-to- forgotten declarati0 irredng her
assent We. the delegates" &C., Do in the
name and in behalf of the people Of Virginia
declare and make known, that the powers granted
under the Constitution, being derived from the
people of the United States, maybe resumed b,
them, whensoever the same shall be perverted tc
their injury and oppression, and that every
power not granted thereby, remains with then
and 81 their will
