States, for the purpose of holding Convention, VIZ
renquish the intention of publishing the further evi
dences in our possession of the unconstitutiona
objects of some of the favorers Of that Convention
with the exception of one of them, which is in its
nature too formal and authentic not to be entitled to
particular notice. We find it in the South Carolina
Telegraph" of Wednesday last, in the form of a
speech delivered by Col. s. w. TRoTTI, of Barn
well, in South Carolina, at the meeting held at
Marlborough for the purpose of elecing Delegates
to the Nashville Convention. For the information
of our readers as to the purposes for which these
and other Delegates from that neighborhood have
such extracts from the speech in question as are
calculated TO shed light upon that subject, viz:
! EXTRACTS FROM TRorTI's SPEECH.
"n the great revolution which achieved own indie
pendence years discussion had brought redress and
nothing done until the thrown overheard Bos-
ton harbor. And have thought in the great struggle in
which the South has been long engaged and which
required discussion convince that contend
ing for rights clear as though they had been written by
the hand Of God with sunbeam in the heavens that some
one Southern State should make the issue, and that the
Others, having interest," couh be compelled to
stand her. Men may differ immatea points, and dis
puaton may widen the gap Of their differences But when
the ship is in the midst Of the sea- tossed by the
when the tempest is breaking wildly over her
When the strained mast quivers like reed
| And rent canvass fuerng strews the gale
it then that each man ,cH fly to the post Of danger-al
will contend for the safety and he who at such
would fater in his duty coud be s,cung from the
yard arm have thought that in case of common inter-
and Dangers action would best promote concert but it
has been supposed by many that will beet promote
action and that should be united before act. The
gallant State Of Mississippi fresh from the field Of Buena
VISTA with the gaands Of victory clustering her brow,
indignant at the wrongs heaped upon the Southndgnant
that she should not be allowed equal interest in the terri
for which she had poured out her Southern blood has
recommended to her Southern sister States to appoint dele
gates meet in Convention Nashville next month"; to de-
wise plan of united Southern action against the efforts of
the non-savehoding States to deprive Of rights
South Carolina ready to act and at the time de-
sous promote harmony and concert has responded to The
recommendations of her noble and valued sister, and in obed
her wishes have been assembled here to-day, to
appoint delegates represent in the Nashville Convention the
seventh Congressional district, &c.
"What that Convention will do is not for to dictate
Our delegates should go untrammelled and free to consult
with the leading neects that will be brought together from
all parts OF the South But individuals may entertain
and express opinion to what it should do. That Con-
venton should say the non-savehong Saes the South
will maintain her rights and Equality in the Union, she
,CiH dissolue 1t. '....<' .."" ~
ssWhat else is left for US do ; Can rely the Con-
stuton Why the constitution has long been utterly dis
regarded. You have and again it kicked out
of both halls of Congress. The great and good who
achieved independence have passed away and the caon
that the halls of Congress have esmer=ed
the constitution and made i. speak in any language they
wished. The constitution is rather impeachment than
protection the South The South regards the obligations
imposes, whilst the North them with contempt
But for the fact that have been comorted with the belief
that lived under constitution that protected rights it
not improbable that Southern army ,oou long agOhaue
gone to Washington and dispersed Congress Much
boast freedom, doubt any Legislative body
cng the Unlimited powers the Congress of the
United states would be tolerated in any part of Europe
Good forbid that the people of the South should ever have
greater attachment for the Union than for their sacred
rights If the Union be asunde then Congress
omnipoen, and Government despotism. The Union
is King When the emssaries of George the Third were
endeavong crush the rebel spirit of the South they made
your swaups resound with the shouts of God the King
And the Northern fanatics while ramplng on the consti
tuon and wagng Of determination against the South,
hope check the proud spirit of resistance ny making the
wekn ring with God the Union. But the South
derstands their miserable hypocrisy. We will not permit
King Union to deprive US Of rights which our ancestors
would not have allowed King George to touch. We shall
be deferred from doing duty by the cry Of dunion-
ist, REBEL traitor. The who achieved indie
pendence dsunionss They had all been British sub
ec and rather than submit what wrong and UNJUST
declared their separation Washington, the great father of
his country had borne British commission, and had fought
by the side of Baddock. We Just such dsunionss
they Rather than submit continued acts of injustice
prefer separation. We have their bright example
| cheer u.s.
"In what have said have had in contemplation the prob
ability the dissolution of the Union, and the foundation of
separate Southern Republic have not the slightest idea
that the people Of the non-savehodng States will respect
rights, until they made TO feel srengh-our capacity
for not only sustaining ourselves but iuring them And
when they find themselves stripped of their commerce-heir
manufactures crippled and their houses and lands sinking
value then you may find greater efforts put down abolition
at the North than made put down slavery the
South If dsunion comes, would find the South better pre-
pared defend her institutions against the world and she
still continue in the Union she would have acquired
that power and influence which would her rights be
| respected"
