tablishmant of direct commercial intercourse
with foreign nations, by steamships adopted
to the purpose of war, in case OF need.
TX This Convention of the people OF
South Carolina thus, from stress OF clrcum-
stances, openly placing their beloved STATE
in the position-which has, in point OF fact,
been long her actual position-of conquer
ed province submitting, for the nme' 10 ".
ranny and oppression, which they nave nos
the power successfully to resist, ana, tnere-
fore torbear to attack, resting here, until, oy
the blessing of God, they shall acquire sum,
cient strength, either by the cooperation OF
others or their own exertions, to assert and
maintain all their just rights.
N. B. BY the adoption of an Ordinance
such as this, the Convention will redeem all
the pledges of the State-actual and attrl-
buted, and will maintain unimpairted her
honor, dignity and influence. All collision
with the General Government will be OBJ
waited, vet South Carolina will be morally
out of the Union, and blow stricken that
will be fatal to the moral power of the Un-
ion itself. The Slave-holding States will
not feel themselves rebukcd, but conceded 10
and their jealousy will cease, their sympa-
thies will be enlisted, and should the plat
form thus erected prove safe and peaceful
one, number of them will no doubt place
themselves upon it at the next aggression Of
the General Observation-Disclosures Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi come to it
the Union is dissolved and Southern
Confedercy formed. In the meantime South
Carolina can lose nothing that she has not
already lost in this Union And those who
really desire to see its dissolution will rejoice
to lind the entering wedge fairly fixed, while
those-if there be any-who are merely
playing game in politics, and moving the
people of this State as they would pawns
upon the board for their own ends, will be
defeated and exposed.
If the Union is to be dissolved it is belived
il must be done by some such process rs that
here suggested. 1t is altogether improbable
that any number of States will ever, either
conseataneously or in Convention, together
deliberately resolve on direct rapture
when the highest excitement is created by
Northern outrages, the area of the Southern
States is too large and the population too
scattered to expect that sufficient number
of individuals, TO accomplish any thing of
moment, will unite and act in concert upon
sudden impulse. And the present state of
things furnishes convincing proof that if any
one State assumes the lead, and endeavors
by a violent course to scduce or compel other
States to follow her, they will almost certain
" draw back. The only plan that promises
success is for the aggrieved States to wheel
out of line, each in iier own time, and on her
own sense of provocation, and having secured
an impregnable position, calmly to wait until
proper number snail have formed on the
same ground, and then TO close up in solid
column.

The Publisher, though fully aware that the COM
mercial necessities of Columbia do not require the
assistance OF another journal, is yet well satisfied
that the questions now agitating the state demand
more thorough and searching examination man
thew have vet received To the furtherance OF this
object, will the energies of this journal be direct
ed in order that the people may have al! the lights
before them, in deciding upon the policy TO be
adopted by them in seeking for their rights and
dress for their injuries and grievances.
Though they entertain no doubt ABOUT the rtgnf
of State to secede at any time, and that upon this
right depends the sovereignty of the States, and in
this the only protection Of the citizen against q
centralized consolidated power yet believing, as
they do that the exercise OF this al TINS clss
by what is now called Immediate seperate State
action" is q hazardous remedy, If indeed a RENE
DIV, at all of those grievances, involving dangers
which no ken can foresee, and perhaps the blight
ing of the now cheering prospect OF a Southern
Confederacy, the publisher will devote their
columns more particularly to the exposure OF those
dangers, and the ruinous consequences which wiil
in all human probability grow out OF uch action.
He will further, by all just and honorable means
sustain the wise and prudent measures indicated
by our State Legislature, in conformity with the
suggestions Of the NASHVILLE Convention, which ook
to The harmonizing of sentiment, and soothing. OF
preiudices in the Southern States, that by union
among themselves, they might redress themselves
efectIally, without the possibility of lncurrlng
those evils which will certainly grow out OF Prema
ture and hasty action. it is then sincerely hoped
by the publisher, that the friends of corporations,
united action, or united secession ns it may be
called, throughout the State, will promptly aid
him in thit enterprise. Upon them it mutt depend
for its support If, as even the most violent advo'
H. sow m.
federacy is ultimately inevitable in the nature Of
thugs, who shall we, who believe that premature
action by this State will forever blight the hope,
not rate our voices against it, and use oil lawful
means in our power to prevent it! Then aid us in
this work; fol we labor in its behalf
