MIR. Burt and the October Meeting.
Mn. EDlToR:-In the meeting of the
Southern Rights Association of last sale-day,
our member to Congress was requested to
extricste himself from the inconsistency of
his present position, with that of the Octo-
Der meeting. To effect that purpose, the
| Honorable member asserted that the ques-
ton of separate State action was not made
at that meeting, except that Mr.. NANCE en-
braced the remark in his speech, that he
"woud rather see the Constitution torn in
strands and South Carolina declared inle-
pendent, than to see her submit" !.
Now, sir, We propose to show that the
question was distinctly set forth by all the
speakers. Ms: BURT with the rest, that it was
not only cidentally remarked, but boldly adj
yocateds By the meeting, and embraced in its
Ixesolulions. sgs
From the proceedings Of that meeting we
take the following extracts: "Mr. NANCE,
after full andsfaithful picture of the wrongs
perpetrated BY the North upon our people,
concluded by an earnest exhortation to re-
sistance, and in the event that other States
failed to move, South Carolina should act
a1one; advocated secession, a prompt, ab-
solute and unconditional secession, and if
necessary, that we should seal our devotion
to liberty with our blood r.
