we know precisely, what construction you mav put upon the constitution, with regard to the right of congress to make improvements through the several states. It is S3id that tho you may have felt friendly to our policy whtn in the senate, yet, that it formates no conducive evidence, that you will be so as president, if elected by the states now in your support; inasmuch as you ate supported now upon tho open and declared intent of clucking its progress against an administiation hit ndly to it. It appears evident to me, that the state of Indiana, and I think all the western and northern slates, can never support any administration or party understandingly, consistent with their true policy, composed of ami tariff or anti-internal improvement men. It is possible, ttiat the southern states, and perhaps tho one in which you reside, may feel but little ia
