If these voluntary declarations of his are
admissible in evidence against him, he
stands before us condemned out of his
own mouth.
Why, it may be asked, with these de-
clarations, and entertaining the above
views in regard to Northern men of all
Parties, will I support Gen. Pierce at all.
answer, simply because he is Demo
crat, and the only man Of that party, that
is, orr can be placed before us. I perfer
Gen. Pierce to Gen. Scott because re-
gard Scott as unsound on this question as
Pierce, and because he is Wing.
This brings with it new objections to
Gen. Scott WHICH turns the scales Of
judgement against him completely. l
have always been opposed to the latitu-
dinarian construction Of the Wing party,
and 1 believe if the principles of this Par
ty prevail in the administration of the
Government, the Constitution must even
tualy be undermined, and the strength and
vigor of the Government completely, and
forever sapped.
In supporting Gen. Pierce, l shall also
as matter Of course support Mr.. King
for the Vice Presidency. AS it would
greatly add to helength of this commun-
ication, to accompany it with my views on
the Bank and the Free School System,
shall give you my views on these subjects
in the next paper, simply adding that I
will vote for re-chartering the Bank under
existing circumstances-and that l am in
favor of wise provision for the education
al wants Of the State.
That the wants Of the people in this
respect will eventually be met, we have
reason to hope, from the fact that the
State has manifested laudable spirit by
continuing the present Free School System,
Notwithstanding it is generally admitted
to be defective, and radically so.
With sentiments Of the profoundest re-
spect, | am

IFoR THE LEnaRR.

Mr.. Ed'tor:-In your paper Of the 9TH
inst, observe call upon the candidates
for the Legislature In this District, for an
expression Of their sentiments upon the
Presidential Election, the Free School Sys-
TEN, and the Bank Of the State of South
Carolina. In response to which, rs one of
the candidates for the Senate, ! submit the
following:
The state Of parties in the United States,
with the authoritative manifestos oftheircon-
ventions, make IL necessary that this State
shall either vote for Pierce and King. the
Democratic nominees, or for Scott and
Graham, the Wing candidates, or give IN
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1852-08-18

from the Senate in lS49, for concurrence, to
be peculiarly proper and necessary, rs a pre-
cautionary measure. For, if the Bank was
not to be re-chartered, II was certainly pro-
per that the Bank should so shape its policy
as to prepare for tho approaching termiaa-
ton Of its charter, and to be ready for any
event at the time. The third resolution, al
though have voted against it, still having
passed, it was the declarative opinion of tho
General Assembly, and stood forth rs a
warning unmistakable. He who does not
provide against danger when It is made
known to him, is either reckless or stupid
Every thing which was necessary to full
understanding, and thorough examination
Of the affairs of tho Bank voted for, whilst
Mt the same time voted against all unneces-
sary attacks upon Il.
The charter Of the Bank expires in 1856.
The question now arises, shall the Bank bo
re-chartcred! If entitled to n vote, | shall
vote for re-chartcr Of the Bank The aues-
ton Of tho connection of the Bank and the
State is now question OF expcdicncy. The
policy of the measure is no longer an open
question. 1t must now be regarded rs an
existing institution, and as such, to sever the
connection demands tho same considerations,
which should influence Legislative body to
enact new law. The fact that the Bank il
an existing institution is n reason 10 favor of
rc-charter, unless there was strong md de-
cidcd public opinion in favor ofthe severance.
That public opinion is wanting, and re-
charter must be the consequence. The price
Of liberty is eternal vigilance-thc evils of
the connection may be avoided by constant
care and attention, and jealous watching of
the peoplais interest. The old law maxim
that the King of England can do no wrong,
may suit the English nation, but such blind
confidence will not protect the people from
the corruplions of n monied power.
In conclusion, must express to you, Mr..
Editor, my thanks for the use Of your valua-
BILE paper. have made my reply something
longer than expected; but " Many Voters"
have asked for "our views" upon the fore
going matters, and of course these cannot bc
expressed in a satisfactory manner, without
writing at some length. have, however,
endeavored to condcnse my ideas rs much rs
possible. I am glad that "Mcny Voters
have also given me an opportunity of express
sing my views upon these subjects in writ
ing. Writing is moro certain, and It may
serve to stay the hand Of Misrepresentation.
If not Of detraction.
l have thus formally submitted my views
upon tho various subjects proposed by
"Many Voters" ! have 10 political opinions
which wish to conceal but, on the con-
trnry, am always willing, and shall ever
hold myself ready to express my opinions
whenever my fellow-citizcns may desire
them.
Very respectfully, yours, &c,
GEORGE McC. WITHERSPOON.-

TREAsURE IN New JERsY.-The Mt.
Holly Mirror tells an almost incredible
story, that some Of Capt. Kidd's treasure
has been found among the Pines, and that
the occupants Of that region are in state
OF intense excitement. A man dreamed
for several nights successiyely that ho
should find this treasure, the place 20 be
indicated by fur iron bars projecting from
the earth. He went and found his dream
realized. Two hundred and forty thous-
and dollars had been discovered up to the
I'd instant, buried in iron chests, and the
people have turned out with their pickaxes
Ia further search for the treasure.

[FoR TIE LEDGER.

Mr.. Editor:-In the Ledger, of the 4th
inst, notice communication signed
"many voters" requesting the candidates
for the Legislature, to give their respective
views, on the following questions. The
Presidential Election, the Free School Sys-
tenn, and the Bank Question. AS have
no disposition to keep my views concealed,
| will define my position upon these ques-
tons, as briefly as I can. With respect
to the Presidential election; will only re-
peat what have said publicly, on several
occasions-that in my opinion, it would
be highly improper, and altogether out of
place, for South Carolina 20 take any
thing like an active part in the pending
Presidential election. But under existing
circumstances, and with the lights before
lis, believe South Carolina ought, and
will cast the electoral vote, for the Demo
cratic nominees.
AS to the Free School System of South
Carolina, | must say that in my humble
opinion, it is very defective-not only de-
fective, but almost useless, as far as some
of the upper and less wealthy Districts are
concerned. All are aware, 1 presume,
that the Legislature appropriates annual
ly $4,000 for the purpose Of educating
the poor children of the State, and that
tho distribution Of this appropriation, is
based upon representation. Now, as tax
alton forms part Of the basis Of repre-
sentation, and as representation is made
the basis for the distribution Of this Free
School fund, taxation in effect, is made
partly the basis Of distribution; here I be-
lieve, is where the present system is most
defective, for / cannot be pursuaded, that
taxation ought to have anything to do in
forming the basis for the distribution of
this Free School appropriation, l believe
the poor children of the State, is the only
proper basis Of distribution-giviug to each
District IN proportion to the number Of
its poor Children.
With regard to the Bank question, l
will say that in 1850, when this question
was so warmly discussed, in our District,
my opinion was that the Legislature should
have the affairs Of the Bank thoroughly
investigated, and if found to be in that
unsafe condition, as represented by some,
and il the abuses could not be corrected,
il would be better to discontinue the Bank.
But on the other hand, If found in safe
condition, it should be continued. Since
that time, pretty thorough investigation
has been made, and so far as I am able to
understand the reports, the Bank has full
ly sustained ITSELF am, therefore, in
favor Of its being re-chartered.
have tried to be brief; still hope l
have been sufficiently plain, to be under
stood by all.
Respectfully,
