The REAson.-The following paragraph,
being the conclusion of letter from Charleston,
to the New York Herald, briefly sets forth a
truth in relation to the causes which actnate the
people of this State in their exercise Of jealous
watchfuness over the institution of labor. Her
prosperity, and the social happiness and tran
GUILTY. Of her people, depend on the preserving
intact from all outward influences that institu-
tion. II lisa question life and death-of 80
cinl and political exstencc--not only with her
in eminent degree, but is so with every plant
ing State in the Union.
Bot, to escape further discussion Of tho
negro question, we ask leave to close with the
single remark, that an impartial, honestminded
Northern man, coming to South Carolina, and
observing for a few days or weeks the extent
Of her connection with the institution Of slavery,
its adaptation to her soil, climate and products,
and the dependence of her social existence upon
the preservation Of this institution, will home
ward return with something added to that spirit
Of patriotism enioined by the federal Constitn-
tiof--that spirit of forbearance. liberality and
christianity, upon which this Union is founded,
under which alone this Union can be preserved,
and without which it is mockery, and terror.
