The citizens Of Lyochburg regard with 'leep
anxiety, the aspect of political affairs in the United
States, as exhibited IN the proceedings of the Com
vention aud Of the Legislature Of South Cato,lna,
and in the Proclamation, Of the President OF TIE I'M
ted States. But this anxiety is not without the pat
riottc hope tina, more lively sense Of the dangers
10 which the blessed Union of our country is,x-
posed, viii, 6eo,c il is too late, induce the good
people Of South Carolina 10 Withdraw, or at least
10 delay, their threatened istance t ,he laws IT
Congress, Imposing imposts upon Foreign con.
merce, until every peaceabe effort has beou used to
redress The grievances OF which they rumpaia
This hope is Strengthened by the consideration
that there is now fair ground of belief that the
oppression of the Southern Stat, $, Of which South
Carolina complains, viii reasonable tine be
removed by regular and constitutional means
But whether South Carolina shah be influenced by
the consideration just above mentioned or not tta
