contest alohe, or await the astioh Of
her sisters. This question was frst
considered by D voluntary body
which met in Charleston in May last;
consisting Of deputies from various
State Rights Associations through.
out the State, and was decided by
them in favor Of the separate action
of South Carolina. Great agitatiois
followed, and by the consent of, all
parties, the question was submitted. to
the people themselves at theelection
of deputies to a Southern Congress,
held in October following. Byaa
clear and decisive vote, their jtidg.
ment has been pronounced against
experimentation by this State; the
question has been settled by the
highest tribunal, and it now becomes
the duty of this Convention to con
form to that judgment. a@
While, therefore, othe peopleSof
South Carolina are prepared TO re-
cognize and maintain the right soe
each State to scccde from the Union,
and would willingly have exercised
this right in conjunction withaler
sister States of the South, they have
declared that they do not deem is
wise or cxpcdicnt to exercise tho
same alone.
Coupled with this declaration
South Carolina can point her sister
States to the prompt and effcctual
support which she has hitherto given
to all their measures, as substantial
pledge of her readiness to unite 9th
them in counsel or, action, at any mo-
mcnt they may indicate desire5to
advance the cause of Southern
Rights.
