Proceedings of the State Convention.

COLUMBIA, April 80, 1852.
The Convention was opened by prayer on yes
tterday, by the Rev T. r. English
Mr.. Cheves, from Committee of Twenty One,
made the following Report:
The Committee of Twenty One to whom was
referred act to provide for the election of depu
ties to Southern Congress and the call of Con-
vention, with instructions TO consider and report
thereon, respectfully report
That they have considered the subject referred
to them, and have concluded to recommend to the
Convention the adoption of the accompanying res
olution and Ordinance
ResotOed, by the people of South Carolina in
Convention assembled, That the frequent viola
tions Of the Constitution of the United States by
the Federal Government, and its encroachments
upon the reserved rights of the sovereign States of
this Union, in relation to slavery, amply justify
this State, so far any duty or obligation to her
confederates is involved, in dissolvng at once all
political connection with her co-States and that
she forbears the exercise of that manifest right of
self-goyernment from considerations of expediency
only.
An Ordinance to declare the right Of this State to
secede from the Federal Union.
We the people of the State of South Carolina,
in Convention assembled, do declare and ordain,
and it is hereby declared and ordained'
That South Carolina, in the exercise of her SOW
tielSh VIII, do dl pOAutht o1deC, dSOShSu W
the Federal Union, known as the United States of
America, and that in the exercise of the same sover-
eign WILL it is her right, without et hinderanee,
or molestation from any power whatsoever, to Sc
cede from the said Federal Union and that for
the sufficency of the causes which may impel her
to such separation, she is responsible alone, un-
der God, to the tribunal of public opinion among
the nations of the earth
| Commenting on the action of the Convention,
| the Mercury remarks as follows:
| This act of the Convention is the Supreme
law for us and for all, and we bow before its au-
/ thority.
In regard to the past then, the Convention has
done nothing save only to make it the starting
point, the occasion and the justification of proyis
ion for the future But in regard to the latter,
look upon its action full of import. 1t has or
dained and enacted the right of State Secession
and though this Ordinance. does not invest the
State with power it had not before. yet it gives
character and efficiency to it, by putting it,
in the form of declaratory enactment, and thus
clearly making it part Of the Supreme law of The
State. 1t is now one of the parts of our Constitu
tion the guardianship and enforcement of which i.

Eram aShingtNn.

In the United States Senate on the 18th instant
Mr. Mangum made speech in explanation of
the reasons which induced him to prefer and sup
port General Scott for the presidency contrary to
the opinions of the whig party of bis state which
prefers Mr.. Fillmore The correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
''He (Mr. Mangum) admitted that Mr. Fill
more was the choice of the wings of his state.
but he declared his own preference for Gen. Scott,
as the candidate. for reasons which he gave at
length. He contended that General Scott could
show as clean bill of health on the compromise
question as any man who had been named as
candidate. He declared, moreover, that General
Scott, if nominated, could be elected and that he
was the only whig candidate who could be. Fur
ther, he asserted that General Scott would be the
nominee of the National whig convention, if it
was not prevented bv the Vaccinations of the ad-
ministration.
tsThis is a manifesto on the part of the South
ern wing of the Scott wings to all parties concern
ed. 1t is in advance of the declaration to be made
in the caucus of the Goth instant, but will prepare
the public mind for the result Of that caucus,
which viii be a complete triumph of the Scott and
Seward wing of the whig party. There will be
some little reluctance, on the part of the Fillmore
and Webster men to go blind into the National
convention, but they will go it, there being no
certainty to what might turn up. The conven-
tion is now likely to be helda matter heretofore
considered as uncertain. Even the administration
men. who are, as Mr. Mangum says, working
against General Scott, generally willing to 90
into the conyention-having still sorle hope of the
defeat of General SCOTS nomination in that body"
Mr. Mangum having disavowed any ''conversa-
ton with General Scott since the pendency of the
omnibus Mr.. Gwin wished to know how he was
authorised to represent the Generals sentiments
Mr.. Mangum replied in general terms, and had
no doubt at all that he all right on such SUBJ
| Iects.

A few seconds blviag elapsed, the MAJOR
