The following reply to an invitation extended
to the Governors guards, was read by the com
mittee;
ARMoRY HALL, Columbia,
July 3, 1851.
i GENTLEMEN II is source Of regret to the
Governors Guards, that many members of their
corps having made previous arrangements for
passing the 4th of July, prevents their turning
out as a company, in accordance with the kind
invitation of the citizens of Columbia, to cele.
brate this day--a day halowed by the recoec-
ton that a few gallant spirits resisted success
fully, the tyranny of the many, and overcame the
| of fhair DIV tad in fha
history of the world as the time when thirteen
colonies declared themselves free and indepen-
dent States, and began a career of glory more
Respondent than any which adorns the annals
of the past.
The Declaration of independence, which is read
on this anniversary Of freemen, penned by the
strongest champion of State rights, contains
sentiments which awaken generous response
in the heart of every member of the "Guards"
1t is production worthy Of the evert it CON-
memorates, and of the heroes whose rights it de-
clares. Imbued with its spirit we will always
remember "who would be free, themselves must
strike the blow" With this declaration of these
men, and the bright example of their noble deeds
we would be base recreants, did we not main
tain our rights. We rejoice, however, to believe
that honor and patriotism belong not only to the
past, but that the spirit which animated the heroes
of the revolution, still CLOVIS in our hearts, and
determines us to resist tyranny in whatever
shape it appears, whether in the open attack of
foreign foe, or the more insidious garb of fed
eral usurpation.
The "Guards" are always ready to redeem
their pledge offered more than two years ago TO
the Governor And when our free and SOW
ereirn State demands our servic es We will cheer
fully obey the summons. At the tap of the drum
we will have our muskets clean, ready to take
up the line of march, and TO do our duty like true
and faithful soldiers.
Since it will not be our privilege as Com
pany, to participate with the citizens of Column
ba in the celebration of this day, we beg leave
most respectfully to offer the following sentiment
State Sovereignty. The Shield Of Liberty
Strong enough TO resist the morbid rawlings of
fanatcism backed by all the tyranny of federal
usurpation.
r. lIAWLEY, Sec Of Gov Guards
To Messrs. r. H. Goodwin, A. II. GLADDEN.
