The regular monthly meeting Of the Aux
iliary Southern Rights Association Of St.
Philips and ST. Michaels, was held in Charles
ton on Monday, 9th ult., hePresidcnt, Hon.
John S Ashe, in the Chair.
Maj. Edward Manigault, Chairman Of the
the Executive Committee, presented the fol-
lowing Address and Resolutions, which we're
unanimously adopted:
ADDRESS.
Inasmueh as since our last meeting, the
party to which we belong has been defeated
in an election in which we had confdentlyex-
pected decided majority, it becomes us to
consider, and decide upon, the position to be
taken by our Association, in the present al
tered state of AFFAIRS Inso deciding, we wish
it to be distinctly understood, that We assume
not to indicate the course to be adopted, even
temporarily, far less permanently, by the par
ty at large, or the Southern Rights Associa-
tions throughout the State; such a course
should be decided on by the Associations for
themselves, III concert with the State Central
Association, which, by the terms of It's for
nation, should be shortly called together for
its semi-annual meeting. Our object now
is, simply to lay down the course We deem
at present proper for our individual Associa-
ton.
Our Constitution provides that 'fhe Asso-
citation shall continue in existence, and per-
severe in its efforts, until the wrongs Of the
South are redressed, or the State resume the
powers heretofore delegated to the L. States
for especial purposes. Neither e these
conditions having taken place, We must still
look forward to the attainment of the grand
end for which our Association was formed.
Yet, as from being in a minority, we feel our
inability to effect any thing decisive at pres
ent; and furthermore, as the successfnl party
have ayowed themselves to be as highly in
dignant at Northern and Federal aggression
as we can be, and as jealous and earnest in
their intentions and efforts to redress our
wrongs, we deem it proper to suspend for the
present our meetings, and to abstain from ag-
itation, in order that they may have fair
opportunity of carrying out their plans fer
the redemption of the South, and the sccuri-
ty of the State. We had an honest faith in
the remedy We proposed, namely, Secession,
or the withdrawal of the State, in its sovcr-
eign capacity, from the Union-and VIC stu
have full faith in its justice and propricty.
and in its efficacy if fairly and firmly carried
out-we were willing 70 have assumed, if tt.
party to which We belong had been in ms
jority in the State, our full share Of lber.
sponsibility Of endeavoring to pa. it.a- g.
ccution; but the matter has n9W a1 aHef
out of our hands, and upon the sucass
party must devolve atprcscntthe rc.p-,l>. 30
Iity Of dcyisng and sustaining Dleasure- F..
carrying the State through the dificgi:
which encompass her.
Impressed with these considerable 81
present the following Resolutions.
Rc2a{e4d That We still regard -a.
State action TO Re in the last resort t!.e TIA.
and effeetual scmedy for the cyilsundy wael
we labor
Rosolced, That this Association doappoint
the Constitutional number Of Delegates e
represent it IN the next meeting Of Tic
State Central Association, whenever 1t shall
be held
Resozrcc7, That feeling that we have don.
what we conceive to be our duty, so far as ul-
der present circumstances we can, and look
ing to the successful party to devise or main
tain measures to relieve the State from her
position, we viii for the present suspend the
regular meetings contemplated by our Consti-
tuition; leaving our Association to be special
1 " called together again, in the manner pro-
vided in the Constitution, whenever circunl-
stances may render such call expedient
