THE MARCH OF EVENTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA
IN FURTHER CONTINUATION

In our last reference to this subject, not having
then met with any authentic report of the Proceed
ngs of the Convention of State Rights Associa-
TONS held at Charleston on the 9Th of May, we
inferred, from circumstances which appeared to us
to exclude any other conclusion that the object of
the originators of that Convention was to precipi-
tate revolutionary action by the State.

the "oflclal" account Of Proceedings of the
