G. a. Trenholm, Esq. Charleston s.. G..
u. S.-Sncc writing the above, have
seen it inlimatcd, that this Convention wilE
be called upon 10 act much moro largely,
than was at first suggested, upon tho dfii~ +
cult questions between the South and tho.
General Government. Ifii shall do so. j
have 10 doubt the action viii be. unfortun-
ntc. 1t viii, among other evils. divide tho
people OF the State into two parties, instead
Of presenting that unanimiiy which now:
does it SO much credit, and will probably,
under future contingencies, give il much <
strength. Tie great activity and zcnl OF
South Caroline, have destroyed her moral
and political influence. That zeal and ac-
tivity we're not coiidcmnahle in themselves;
but, under actual circumstances, were i'm
polite. l. was s!andernusly called ambi-
ton and n desire 10 dictate, that excited The
Jealousy Of other States. Measures, right
and nrnncr, md patriotic, wore cnllhnmnefr
simply because they came from South Car
oina; and every bastard has justified his
recrcancy, under this prJudiced and SLAM
derous condemnation. Ii South Carolina
be wise, she wi)! wait upon her sister
Siatcs, yet long while. Let her bc pre-
pared to act, but leave other Stuies time to
deliberate and determine ls,r themselves.
Great changes must take p'rce in the SEN
timen's Of the Southern people, or history
is a fiction, and the nature OF man has

cd to join other States; but she cannot 20

common cause.
