appear before yoa In obedience TO your COM
nands, to enter upon the duties yon have assigned
me. The Chief Magistracy Of South Carolina, at all
times an office ofiigh dignity and trust, has now as
sumed an importance which might well induce the
most highly git1d amongst us hesitate in taking
upon himself the fearful responsibility which belongs
toit Putting out Of view the considerations which
would have Induced ME at any time to desire to be
excused from this seryice-a sincere distrust of my
abilities to discharge, in satisfactory MANNER the
various and tryiDg dutie. which must Mt this mome-
fous crisis deyo|ee the Executive, would have de-
tered me from making the attempt, but for the con-
viction, that every man INV owes duty to his
try which he 10 bound atevery sacrifice, to perform
Deeply sensible Of the high honor conferred upon me-
in being selected to presde the destinies of the
State at this interesting erod, and feeling myself

to yield implicit obedielce to the public will o
oialiy made known to me through yon.

citemcnt, threatened with hangers from without, and
embarrassed by unhappy divisions at home, it be-
longs not to any wisdom oryirtue, merely human, to
reconcile conflicting opinions, haYmonize discorsant
views, and meet the expectations Of the public. f.
mergcnces will probably arte, concerning which o.
Jinions will be SO divided, tint act as he nav vour
Chief Magistrate will have toencounter the severest
censurc and reproach. Nevertheless will not shrink
from the task you assigned me but relying with con-
fidence on your cordial support, and on the wisdom
and virtue, courage and patritism of the People,
will walk steadily forward in be path of duty, To-
dulging the hope that until efforts for the pro-
motion of the wcfare honor ami saety, Of the State
may be crowned with success.
