their studies But being full of zeal for the great
doctrine of State rights, and justly appreciatnp the
momentous interest of the question now before the
people, which is soon to be decided either in abiect
submission to palpable, acknowledged wrong, or in
manly resistance; and not at all sympathisng with
the narrow, petulant views of the Southern Patrot
that young men at school and college, should. in
this crisis, ever stick to their books, and lei politics
alone, (Which, by the by, they would do, if there
were no such politicians in the State as the editors
and supporters of that msna,ned organ.) There.
fore, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resotced, That certain gentemen-Delegates

Well, law nbolisbing the slave trade

EXTRACTS FROM McDUFFIE's SPEECHES.
&c.-It is impossible to contemplate the
conduct of our ancestors, when placed in
similar circumstances, without blushing for
our degeneration. They commenced the
Revolution that secured our liberty, when
their expressions were not one hundredth
part as grievous as ours. A miserable
tax of three pence a pound on tea was the
extent oftheir grievance. Being dependent
colonists, they had no organized sovereignity
to protect them from the perils of rebellion
and treason. With halters round their
necks, and the stigma of treason on their
foreheads, nobly disdaining to count the
costs Of contest which, though they should
perish, was to secure liberty to their pos
terity. they fearlessly encountered the a.
gantic power of mighty nation. And
with this glorious example before us, shall
we basely surrender the inheritance of our
children, from disgraceful panic excited
by imaginary dangens9 Shall we be terri.
fed by mere phantoms of blood, when our
ancestors, for less cause, encountered the
dreadful reality2 Great GodI are We the
defendants of those ancestors; are we free
men; are we men-"grown men"-to be
frightened from the discharge of our most
sacred duty; and the vindication of our
most sacred rights, by the mere nursery
stories Of rawbead and bloody bones, which
even the women of our country laugh to
scorn."
We have but one difficulty to prevent
Us from achieving q glorious victory over
our oppressors; it is our own unfortunate
divisions. / have most consoling conf
deDce that the intelligence and patriotism
Of the people will overcome this. With
united .counsels, The State cannot fail to be
triumphant; but with divided and distract
ed councils, It will be vain to hope that We
shall ever be relieved from our expressions.
