SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE UNION.
During the Kansas agitation the Texas Legisla-
ture passed resolutions authorizing the Governor
to appoint delegates to Southern Convention, ap-
pTopriating $4,000 to pay mileage and per diem,
and requesting the Governor to call a special
sion of the Legislature if he should think any exi-
gency had arisen in which it should be necessary
for Texas to act alone.
A few davs since the Committee on Federal Re
atons, of the South Carolina House of Representa-
tves, to which the Texas resolutions referred,
reported preamble and resolutions in reply.
portion of the preamble reads thus
And whereas, from the earliest period in our his
tory, when sectional lines first commenced to
be drawn in this confederacy up to the present mo-
ment, the people of this State have been foremost
in their efforts in the vindication of Southern
Rights and Southern Institutions And whereas,
the State of South Carolina has been always SO
much in the advance on these issues, that her very
fidelity has, in some instances, brought upon the
reproach OF desire on her part to dictate the poll
cy of the South, and to enforce it by imnrudent
if not Incorporate zeal: And whereas under these
circumstances, for the past few years the incina-
ton of our people well as of the General Assem-
bly, has been to withhold any expression of opinion
upon Federal politics-ws cannot now but hail with
satisfaction the communication that has come to
from the State of Texas. Although the occasion
which called forth these resolutions has now per
haps passed away, and there longer exists anv
practical question before the country upon which
an issue can be made, yet ''the eXgency may arise
at any moment in which she will be required to
take her position and mark out her line of
Duct" and in that event, in the words of Senator
Hammond, "we must be prepared to take care of
ourselves, whatever may come"
The first resolution expresses sympathy with Tex
as in the spirit of her resolutions and approves the
language used. Thesecond resolution says
Resoired, That South Carolina is willing to
stand by her sister States of the South in the
Union out of it, and to make common cause with
them in the vindicaton of that great institution
which constitutes strength, safety and pros
