The Eegislature.

This is the third week of the regular session.
Legislators have been industriously engaged in
perfecting necessary bills in view of the secession
of this State They have worked unremittingly,
and deserve commentator from the people for
their assiduity in cndeavorng to prepare them for
any and every emergency that may arise in the
next few months or years Our limited space pre-
vents us from giving any synopsis of the proceed
ings, but next week we hope to publish the impor-
tant measures that will pass this session.
The election of Governor was gone into on Tucs-
day. Hons. F. W. PIcKESs, B. j. JOHNSON r. b.
RnETT, Gen. D. F. JA,usoN, and others, arc the
prominent candidates.
The Army Bill passed the Senate on Saturday
by unanimous vote. 1t would come I'D in the
House on Tuesday, but will doubtless be amended
in many particulars.
Our friend and Representative, Maj. ]. V.
MOORE, has been engaged in the discussion on this
Bill, and by his course has gained warm commen-
datons from different sections of the State. The
Bill, as first read, allowed the selection of Repi
mental officers to the Governor; the amendment of
the Major gave the election 10 the volunteers who
may be called into service and who will undoubt-
edly want to choose their own leaders The Major
is right, and those who will be called into the field
sustain him heartily in that course.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1860-12-13
The Convention,

The State Convention assemblies i'll the city of
Columbia on next Monday. Its sentiment will be
harmonious and decided in regard dissolving the
ties that now unite us with the General Government
We hope its action and course may prove equally
fracrnal and united. In our humble judgment,
the Convention may speedily accomplish the objects
for which it is convened, and every member should
90 prepared to give his aid and influence in pcrpc
tuating harmony, drowning dis,ord and steering
clear of dissensions in this important, solemn and
august period of our history as people. There
is no need of delay i'll framing the ordinance which
will declare separation from the United States.
One course only can be consistently carried out, that
is to persevcrc in dignifed manner towards Sc
cesson, without regard to the action of other
States. II has been declared, almost autlorita-
lively that South Carolina will secedc at all haz-
ards, and it remains for the Convention, when it
meets turning neither to the right nor to the left
for counsel or tcmporizing advice, to redeem the
pledges thus made by her leaders and legislators.
Any other course will have the effect of bringing
upon the State rcbukes for indie cison and want Of
confidence in her cause. On the other hand, we
do not desire shot haste nor prccipitate action
All discern the importance of South Carolina
ing steadily and surely towards dcliverancc, pre-
serving her self-rcspcct and boldly asserting her
rights as sovereign State. When she has launch
cd her ship of state upon the sea of nations, and
cut loose her moorings to the present government,
then will properly be entertained any propositions
from sister slave commonwealth then may com
missioners be sent to other Conventions if deemed
necessary, to urge like action upon their part and
then can she negoiate with all powers in the
known world. To do this sooner will not be wor
thy of her position and certainly will be regarded
as vacillaing policy, if not dangerous procrastina-
ton of her own action.
The Convention, we may remark, will be com
posed of the ables, most experienced and wisest
men in the State. A glance at the list of delegates
from the various districts and parishes will con-
vince any one of the truth of this remark. They
know their duty and the weight of responsibility
imposed upon them-that duty and that response
by we feel assured will be met rs intelligent free
men only can, and the people may safely entrust
their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors
with such body of fearless patriots and states

The Election.

The election for delegates TO the Convention from
this District passed off quiet and orderly The re-
turns from the official statement will be found in
our columns. From the number of votes given, it
will be seer that only about one-half the number
Of voters exercised their elective privilege and that
something fifty Of those cast were not for the
regular candidates. For fear of Misrepresentation
or misconccpton, we will explain. At one box,
81 tickets were voted " No Separate State Action y
Attwo cthers "Union" and ''Co-operation' received
80 votes. The co-opcrationists, We believe must
have been msled for undoubtedly their desires will
be met and therefore, to have voted for any of the
gentlemen who were in nomination, would not have
compromised any political principle, nor committed
them to extreme action. They were either misin-
formed or led astray from designing motives, and
by scheming men. AS to the few ''Union' votes
polled, we have little TO say. They accomplish no
earthly good, and besides, were cast for dcfunct
matter; the Union no longer exists, only in name,
anil that faint significance will shortly cease.
The small vote may be accounted for in several
ways. From our knowledge of facts as they exist,
it is entirely safe to presume that onehaf of those
who refraned from voting are in favor of secession,
with and without cooperation. The other half we
would not undertake to classify Some are for the
Union, we doubt not, but assuredly nut all.
Now, this was the last contest ever to be decided
by South Carolnans in the United States. We
assume the fact, that this State will secede-we
have said so for weeks, and gave such a course
our hearty endorsement. Let every one, forgetting
past differences and burying dead issues, stand
prepared to defend her glorious Palmetto colors,
and with one cxulting shout, exclaim, "Come veal
or come woe, we will maintain the future of our
beloved Carolina
