THE REACTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA,


The Greenville Is. C.) Patriot of tlI,
9th draws the following contrsst be
tween the present stale of South Caro-
lima and that prevailing within its Dor
ders several months ago:
!" Its indeed amazing TO see wha
changes take place in public opinion il
the short space Of few months. Las
fall the whole State seemed to be fol
secession. Now, fit was left to yol,
OF the people, a !. majority would BE-
found opposed to it. Six moths since
there was not newspaper in South
Carolina that did not advocate disun-
ion and secession. Now we have the
Southern Patriot, Hamburg Republican
Charleston News, Southern Standard
Columbia Transcript, and Erskine Mis-.
celiany, all opposed to secession.
T" Not a whisper was heard when the
Legislature met of.any popular expires.
sion against secession. Recently Ham.
burg has, with great uuanimity, dcclar.
ed herself in the opposition. Four thou
sand persons, at Greenvile courthouse,
on the 4th of July, expressed them
selves, BY the preamble and resolutions
adapted, hostile to secession. Horny
District did the same at public meet
ing on the same day.
Last fall there was not heard sim
gle voice from the leading men Of the
State in opposition to secession, except
from Col. Grayson, sir. Poinsett, Gen.
eral Hamilton, and General Thompson.
Since that time we have seen letters
opposing, with great ability, these pa
rate action Of the State, from Judge
Cheses. Judge Butler, Judge O'Neal,
Col. Preston, DIR. Lieber, Judge With
ers, DR.. Dickson, Col. Burt, Co. Ches-
nut, Col. Orr. Mr.. Barnwell, Col.
Brooks, col. Boycs, Col. Owens, and
MANY others.
:. This looks pretty well for the be-
ginning ofan opposition to secession. But
1T is not all. Last fall associations
were formed in almost every district
OF the State for the purpose of agitat-
ing and controlling public opinion, as
was done III France with SO much sue
cess during their bloody revolution.
But now these Jacobin clubs are diving
in Charleston and elsewhere, and they
have in greet measure ceased to meet.
The mem bers have withdrawn, and in
many instances are ashamed TO acknow.
ledge their membership"

eapable o. saying thai any one II the
States nav secede from the uni0n a.
her own discretion
Such an idea would be Fepagnant 10
all that l have ever said. or ever
thought On that subject.
Its perfectly plain, my dear ar. that
the Constitution Of the United States
contemplates is own perPetnity. IL
makes no provision Cor its beiag broken
up, or for the withdrzwal Of any Of Us
members from the Union. Ii was es-
lablished by the people Of the several
States for themselves and their poste'
ritz, and there is I'm it no reservation
or intlmation that its continuance and
duration are to be dependent on ths
pleasure Of single State, or any num-
Der Of States. IL looks no more 10 il
own dissolution than does the Govern
ment Of England. or any other counl
try.
II is quite certain that no State Go
vernment has any authority to RELEASE
the People OF the state IRON their al
legiance TO the State Government
Every citizen owes double allegiance
the powers Of Government, with us
being divided between the Genera
Government and the States Govern
ments.
IL Congress were to pass an act
with whatever unanimity, declarin;
that South Carolina, for example
might. if she chose. secede from tn
Union. or that the laws of the Uniol
should be no longer enforced within
her limits, such an act would be utter
ly void, and the Judicial Authorit
bound to pay no respect to IL.
In short, my dear sir. secession mus
be an act Of force in other words,
must be, pro taafo, revolution.
Yours, &c.,
DANIEL WEBSTER.
