%n.oI;Do nv the recent Charleston Convention. How
will Rbet and his followers receive so cutting re-
hike to their scheme OF disracting the South, such
a decided homage the cause OF the Union ana 10
the public sentiment at the South
Gen. Quilman, however, still adheres TO his own
nIan as contadistnguished from the South Carolina
Scheme. 1t is substantially, 10 prepare the South
orD States by concert with each other, or among
number of them, in some form to secede from the
ITnion collectively simultaneously, II, on the re-
fuss of demand by one or more OF them, congress
sbalI not repeai the Compromise measures. The !
particular acts which this scheme insists on as In
dispensabe are the repeal of the bill for abolishIng
the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and the
division of California the line of SO deg 80 Inln
with the Missouri compromise as to slavery attached
Without these concessions, the recovery, as he terms
i, -of all that was lost by the Compromise, the only
conrse of safety is The peaceabe secession oil the
aggrieved States; that is, the destruction OF the |
Union by concerted withdrawal of Southern States
These demands, all reasonable men must admit, !
are impracicable, and if sanctioned by the South,
must lead TO dissolution. The South has aVowed its
acquesce in the past, but 10 require
security for the future That is now the only safe
ground, upon which the South can and will rally,
and, out of South Carolina, We do not believe that
more extreme measures will prevail In any Southern
State"
