had taken place. In this opinion we arc

CORRESPONDENCE.
Copy of Letter from the President Of the
Bank Of the State of Souh- Caroliaa 10
the Hon. George McDuGe.
BANK STATE SOUTH CAROLINA, ]
Charleston, 10Th Nov. lS43.
Hon, GEORGE McDuFrIE:
My dear Sir.-Govcnor Hammond has
Just Doli6ed me that he shall fee i, incum
bent on him 10 recommend in his Message
to the Legislature, that the Bank Of The
State be wound up. and its funds taken
TO pay The public debt in seven years.
This will be by The | 81 January, 1851.
The Fire Loan negotiated by you with
the Messrs. Barring, Brothers and Co.,
will fall due in 1858 and 1868.
BY the several sections of that Act,
numbered I, 10, IL aud II, at pages 43
and As of the accompanying copy Of a
compilation Of the laws, s., relating to the
Bank of the Stale Of South Carolina, which
| send wherewith, you will see The various
pledges of the faith of the Stale, aud OF
the profits of this Bank, ''fOr the punciual
payment of the interest,"" and "for the ul-
liinate payment of the principal" oflhat
loan.
The proposed recommendation of Gov.
Hammond, il carried out, will annihilate
the principal, and of course prevent any
profits.
| am directed by the Board to procure
all such information az may be needed to
set the proposed measure iu proper light:
and it has been deemed highly important
that should address you, as the agent by
whom the loan was negotiated with Mes
srs. Barring, Brothers g. Co., on the seve.
raj points stalled in the enquiries below.
lst. Was any value attached by Messrs.
Barring, Brothers s. Co. to the pledge Of
the profits Of the Bank, and the security
offered by the several clauses, of the Act
for either the "punctual payment oflhe in
terest," or .for the final redemption of The
principal ?''
Cd. Did you, in your several negotia-
lions, yourself, lay any stress, or hold these
pledges as giving any higher value 10 our
bonds?
Sd. Did The fact, that corporation
was liable to be sued, which State was
not. and that in addition 10 The usual
pledges Of the faith ola State, there was
on our bonds The liability of our Bank,
givelo our bonds an advantage over other
State Bonds intlIe market?
4th. Do yoa suppose that the withdrawal
