State, lands and negroes, goods and chatteIs,

and navy capable of defending our nationality
five years! Our weakness and inslgniiicancc
i'll the eyes of the world, would almost deprive
us of admission into the family Of independent
nations. If admitted, the republic, or kingdom,
OF oligarchv of South Carolinl, could hardly
maintain her foreign missions at the different
courts of Europe. Hundreds and thousands of
her citizens would leave the State to avoid the
burdens of taxation. and that general blight and
gloom which would pcrvade the land. No one
however, could move out Of South Carolina
without being an alien for five years. lie would
lose the right Of citizenship, the right OF voting,
holding lands, serving on lurlcs, and holding
commissions under the United States or State
in which he might settle. Living i'll South Car
olina, we shall neither be enabled to inherit the
lands of our parents, children or kindred i'll the
other States, nor will they be ublc to inherit
ours.
"Thc President they add) is sworn to en-
force the laws, and for this purpose he IS put III
command of the army and navy of the United
States. The collection of the customs on board
vessel in the hnrbor of Charleston, might al
once check-mate secession, md prevent re-
sort to force. But if it did not, who can enter
tain doubt as to the result of n contest be-
tween South Carolina without an army or navy
and the United States with both, equal to any
in the world for skill and science. A fearful
responsibility rests on him who urges the State
into SO unequal a conflict"
