REsri1,TrN SOUTH CAROLINA.

W. have every tay the pregnant ADM sons Of the disu
no orans Of South Carolina that the late election seals
the fate OF her separate secession at least for the present.
The Palmetto Flag employs the following emphatic Ian
euage:
As there ia apparently variety of opinion the effect
Of The late graccu election the action OF the State,

The necessity for this distinction is obvious Charleston
