hlesSry Editors: To the several inter
rogatorics proposed to the candidates Tor
the legislature, | return the following an
swers
l. AS to the electoral question, which
appears likely to cngross most of public
attention during the present canvass, | re-
ply that am in favor of letting the appoint
ment Of electors of President and Vice
President remain in the hands Of the Leg
lisIature. This opinion have uniformity
entertained upon this ssubject, and have
seen nothing 30 far TO cause me to change
my sentiments in respect to it. As to the
constitutionality of tho Legislatures cxcr-
cisng this prcrogative, deem it sufficient
to say that the Federal Government has
ever acknowledged its ConStilmionalnv by
receiving the votes cast by electors ap.
pointed By the Legislature. And there is
nothing i'll the practical operation of the
general ticket system, as exhibited in the
other States OH the recurrence of the Pre-
sdcnlial election, that causes me to desire
the election OF electors given TO the people
Grca! political cXcitcmcn,s are TO DO de-
prc:atcd as dcmorallzing tc socety-they
have ever proven the banc Of republican
institutions, and experience has shown that
high political excitement cannot bc dIsCon-
ncctcd with the clccting OF our chief Mag
lstrates have when the election is in the
hands OF the Legislature. But while these
arc my sentiments in reference 10 this
matter will add that would vote for a
bill, Should cine be proposed before tho
Legislature to send this subject directly
to tho people to be decided by them.
| in frv rf IL
present appropriation for the Free School
Funds, and would vote for any improve
mcnt on the present system that promised
to be more ctfrclual and speedy in the edu-
cation of the masses.
B. | have no objection to modifying the
present militia system in such 4 way AS to
render military duty less oncrouS to the
people oflhe State.
i. With the light have upon this sub
ject am disposed 10 doubt whether the
PcnitcniIary experiment has proven to be
the most successful means of suppressing
vice and crime. At any rate, under the
existing circumstances would advocate
the pos;poncmcnt Of the subject for the
present.
8. AS to treating al elections, would
fam hope that no formal declaration OF
opinion Is necessary TO convince my fellow
citizens that am opposed to practice 30
rcpugnant 10 my sense Of propric,y and so
rcvoiting to all the principles of humanity
and religion.
