the jealousy of other State. Measures, night

condemnation. If South Carolina be ssEise,
she will wait upon her sistrr States, Jet's

There has been, / think, another error ID the
management of our great controversy, lsot ps-
culiar to South Carolina} I'VE: have had no
many Conventions. 70, Such assem6lages, are

almost all, if not all other OCCASIONS the organ.
lied power of Government is the safest grouad
of reliance. 1t is particularly so ig this case;
which is q case Of usurpation and tyranny on
the part of the General Government. and our
wise ancestors, with great jealousy, reserved
and secured the Independence ofthe Statessas
u proper power to control the ambition Of the
Federal Government when it might arise; aud
our great error and misfortune has been, that
we have allowed the State Goyermnentssto be
virtually nulli6ed, by not calling them early
and vigorously into action. A concert between
the State Governments. is the great want Of the
South, at this time; aud this great object will
best be attained by the Legislative and Execu'
tive fanctionaries OF their respective Govern.
