Of Pendleton.
A communication appeared i'm the
Messenger ofthe 23d of August, over
the signature of Seneca River in
which the writer gave his views rela-
tive to the policy of introducing the
present canvass for members Of the
Legislature, and propounded certain
questions TO the Candidates for the
Senate and House ofRepresentatives.
1 agree with Seneca River in most
of his views, and deeming the duty
of candidates to notice any proper
call on them, for an expression of
their opinions relative to any question
of public interest, will proceed TO an
swer the questions; which ar, as fol-
lows:
"lst. Will you, if elected, vote
against any act, or resolution of the
Legislature, the effect eof which will
be TO place the Bank in liquidation, or
to compel it to wind up its affairs at
the expiration of the charter, or at
subsequent period during the term
for which you are elected"
Twill, if elected, vote against any
act, or resolution of the Legislature,
to put the Bank in liquidation pre-
vions to the expiration of it charter,
and after that time would be willing
to allow reasonable period (say six
or ten years,) to bring to close the
business of the Bank, without OPP
preston to the debtors, and injury to
the State.
1t is known to you, that ! was in
favor of the bill introduced by Mr..
Memminger, at the last session of the
Legislature, Ito put the Bank in
gradual process of liquidation,) and
voted against its indefinite postpone
ment. In Difference 10 The opinions
of a large portion ofthe partyopposed
TO the connection of Bank and State,
and being unwilling to contribute to
any Unnecessary excitement, on a
question of State policy at this event
ful crisis of our national affairs; j am
now in favor of permitting the Bank
to run its chartered term, with
some legislative action, requi
ring the officers of the institution to
collect all debts of long standing, and
to shape their business operations
with an eye to the termination ofthe
charter.

posed,) yechartering the Bank, ,ddtd- ddtd-

IN favor of the principles publhshed
