SouTH CARoLINA's MODE OF ANNExING
TExAs.-The Richmond Enquirer copies
from the Charleston Mercury portions of the
proceedings of public meetings heldin Barn
well, Sumter, and Edgefeid counties,
touching the Texas treaty. The Enquirer
with much pleasure marks the favor with
which all these meetings receive the nomin-
atoms of the late Baltimore Convention, but
1t silently puts the seal of reprobatlon on
certain passages in the transactions of these
assemblies of nullifers,b y emitting such reso-
buttons and remarks as squirt at a dissolution
OF the Union. For instance, the Barnwell
meeting has this passage in the preamble,
the whole Of which is properly supposedly
the Enquirer, as an evidence of its disappro-
baton. The preamble puts the dissolution
of the Union in issue with the Texas ques-
tion, and SAYS: owe believe that the very
existence itself of this blood-bought and
blood-eemented Union will be determined
by it." Thefflh resolution takes the ground,
in regard to the annexation OF Texas, that
<sits final rejection is an evidence of that in
c~reasing hostility to the institutions of the
South which has already shaken the conf
dence of our people in the patriotism and
fidelity of our Northern brethren, and which
NAV render it necessary for US Tin the
words of our own Declaration of lndepen-
dence) sto provide new guards for our future
securIty.'n
The ninth resolution attempts to identify
the name of General Jackson with the new
design ofresolution, 'to provide new grounds
for our future security" beyond the Consti-
tuition. 1t reads thus: .
SO. Resolved, That in relation to the inn
mediate annexation of Texas, we view with
pride and satisfaction the conduct of the
venerable Andrew Jackson, whose heart
(though the hand of time and affection has
fallen heavily upon him) beats true to the
interest and honor ofhis country; and we re-
joice that his days have been so heightened
out that he might unite his name with on
third great struggle for independence"
Col. S. w. TRoTTI, who was at the heat
of the committee to prepare the preamble
and resolutions, after they were read, ex
planned them in a speech, the substance o
which is thus given, with The proceedings bu
= ii is omitted by the Enquirer, as well as th'
ninth resolution;
"Afier the preamble and resolutions were

of Texas as a measure of national defence
and exposed the deceitful position of Lort
Aberdeen and the British Government on tn
subject. He conclusively demonstrated tia
the safety # not the very existence of the il
s%titution of%slaVery is dependant upon til
success of the measure, and contended wit
great power and ability that THE ONL'
TRUE ISSUE BEFORE THE SOUTl
SHOULD BE TEXAS OR DISUNION.
The Sumpter meeting is one Of the sam
cast; and the resolutions are fraught with tn
same threats against the Union.
The 9Th resolution, which is stricken OF
by the Richmond Enquirer, is given in IL
Charleston Mercury:
as. ResoIUed, That we regard the oppo
ition TO annexation by a portion of the Pc
pie of these United States on account
the existence of slavery in Texas, as an u
warrantable attack upon Southern RICH
guaranteed to US by the Constitution, RICH
which we are determined at all hazards
maintain in spite of resistance either abro;
or at home"
Here it would seem that "opposition
annexation by portion of the people
these United States'' is held to be "anu
warrantable attack u pom Southern rights!.'
The sentiments of the Edgefeld coun
meeting (at which the Hon. MIR. Pickens {
fciated as a resolution mmittee man) we
in perfect keeping with those spoken by N
r. Barnwell Rhett's constituents of Bar
well. The disposition to dissolve the Uni
was somewhat better disguised, althou,
plainly limited at in the following r~esolutio
"Resolped, That the grounds upon viii
this annexation is mainly resisted compel
to consider this measure as a question as
the maintenance of slavery, guaranteed
us by the Constitution; and we avow o
determination to maintain this institution
gainst all the attempts of a%bolitnonists in O
own country or elsewhere; and we shall L
resist the separation from the Union of su
States as denounce the slaveholding me-
beers Of the Confederacy as unworthy of &C
