 And Uhereas,thc Legislature South Carolina now in session, taking into con sideratien the matters contained in the said Proclamation ofthe President, have adopted q Preamble and Resolution 10 the following effect, viz:
 "Whereas, the President of the Uni. ted States has issued his Proclamation denouncing the proceedings of this State, calling uponlhe citizens thereof to renounce their primary allegiance, and threatening them with Military CO., eFeion, unwarranted by the constitution, and utterly inconsistent with the exist enea Of il free State, be ii, therefore,
 Resotpsd, That his Excclleney the Go vernon be requested, forthwith, 10 issue his Proclamation warning the good peo- pie of this State against the attempt of lhe President of the United States to se- daee them from their allegiance, cx- horting them to disregard his vain mena- ees, and 10 be prepared 10 sustain inc dignity, and protect the liberty of tho State, against the arbitrary measures proposed by the President
 Now l, ROBERT Y. HAYNE, Go vernon oi South Carolina, in obedience to the said Resolution, do hereby issue this my Proclamation, solcmnly warii. ing the good people of this State against the dangerous and pernieions doctrine promulgated in the said Proclamation oi the President, as calcul lated to nislead tflelr judgments as 10 inc true character ofthe government which they live, and the paramounto obligation Whiehlhey owe to the State, and manifestly intend- ed to seduce thcm from their allegiance, and by drawing them to the support of the violent and unlawful measures con. templated ythe President, to involve them in the guilt of Rebellion. would earnestly admouish tlsem to beware of the spacious but false doctrnesby which it is now attempted fo be shown that inc several States have not retained their entire sovereignty, that sstlie allegiance of their citizens was transferred sn the first inStance 10 the Government of the United States" that ga State cannot be said to be sovereign and independent. whose citizens owe obedience to laws not made by it." that sseven under the Royal government we had no separate character, that the Constitution has created Ca national government which is not Ca compact between Sovereign States"-s'that State has no right to secede''--in a word, that ours is .Nation- d GoDerpnaeas, in which the people Of all the States are represented, and by :! which we are constituted sso1e people aud "that our representatives in Con- gress are all representatives of the Uni ted States, and not of the particular States from which they come''-doc. trines which uproot the very foundation of our political system-annihilate the rights of theStates-and utterly destroy the liberties Of the citizen.
 1t requires no reasoning to show what the bare statement of these propositions demonstrate, that such Government as is here described, has not single feature of confe'serated republic, IL is in truth an accurate deIineation. drawn with bsld hand, of great con- solidated empire,-ssone and indivisi-. ble," and under whatever spacious form, it's powers may he masked, it is ia fact the worst of all despotisms, in which the spirit of an arbitrary govern ment is suffered to pervade institutions protesting to be free. Such was not the Government for whichour fathers fought and bled, and offered uptheir lives and fortunes as willing sacrifice. Such was not the Government, which the great and patriotic men who called the Union into being, in the plenitude of their visions framed. Such was not the Government, which the fathers of the republican faith, led on by the American Liberty, promulgated and successfully maintained in 179S, and by which they produced the great po- litical revolution effected at that auspi- cious era. To Government based on such principles, South Carolina has not been voluntary party, and to such q I Government she will never give her as- sent.
