The above remarks are made in reference
to the meeting at Tyler, in which the Con.

TO which the Herald strongly objects; and
ascribcs this policy 10 the cl wing Of the

Tho above establishes the fact, that
both Madison aud Washington believed in
the right Of secession, and that il was not
denied even b. Alexander Hamilton, the
leader of the Fcderalists. We have preyi
ousy shown that /, was fully sustained by
Mr. Jefferson, the leader Of the Republican
party of that period
It is well known, however, that Il wag
the policy of Mr.. Hamilton to strengthen
the power Of the General Government, and
to weaken that OF the States. Dat of that
policy grew the questions of Tariff, Bank
Internal improvements, &c, which were
intended 10 effect these objects. These
were stcrnly met by Mr.. jefferson ard the
Republican party, who were determined
advocates Of the rights OF tho States, aud
who believed with Mr. Madison that t" il
adds TO the stability and dignity as well as
The authority Of the Constitution, that ii
rests on this legitimate aud solid iounla.

consideration OF our Democratic friends

In the list of the great improvements
which have given to this age tie charac-
ter which it will bear in history above
all others--the age of happiness to the
people, the plank road will bear p.ouf-
inent place, and il deserves il. 1t chan
ges the condition of the farmer wherever
it is found. Itgives a thoroughfare, Sec
ond only to the railway; and in this res.
peci, superior to it, that it may be used
by all, without being subjected to the
rules and regulations of others, as to the
time, speed, or equipage in which they
may choose to travel. II annihilates one
of the sorest evils known to our rural
life--an evil which has hitherto made
farm in some--in many parts of the
country, an involuntary hermitage, Sc
cluded and a,taiLahle only by a weary
pilgrimage over--no, not over, but thro'
roads which seem to have concentrated
all the evils that could embarrass trav-
eller. A bad road is no longer known
where there is plank road. The far
mer is, brought in the vicinity Of the
village and city, enjoying its benefits,
and exempt from its inconyeniences.-
The plank road finds its way TO the for
est, first, building itself from them, and
then bring the wood treasure into active
use. 1t allures the settler to redeem
lands hitherto set down as desperate re-
al estate, unreal as to income, and real
only to taxation. 1t goes up into the
wild lands and ciyilizes them. Itthreads
the environs of city with pleasant
drives. 1t magni6es the means used by
the farmer in taking his produce to mar
