solved on resistance to the encroachmeIts Of the
federal government, and ordered the State to
be armed, no wrong that was complained Of has
been redressed-that no indemnity had been Of
fered for the past, and security for the future

vaunted Fugitive slave law. it costs the owner,
in some instances, over four times the value of
the slave recovered, and in others it has cost the
owner his life.

patriotism of the people to resist the attempt to

along the coast and alludes to the guns of
Castle Pinkney and Fort Moulirie frownng on
the city of Charleston.
