The Governor also suggests as q tempo

to convey mail matter. He further sug-
ests that aFFnnEcmrnts might probably 6c
made between South Carolina and the feds
er0l authorities for a given time, until the
other States secede and the Southern Con-
federncy is formed If the federal govern.
mcnt insists on considering South Caroliz.
M in5the Onion after the ordilance pro-
vidings for secession is adopted, the present
postal management must cease and an-5
otherunder State authority be substituted.
The Governor advises the prohibition of
the introduction of slaves into South Car
olina from States which are not members
OF the Southern Confcderacy and particu-
larly from the border States. He saws. lei
them keep their own borders aud the ouiy
alternative left them is emancipation by
their own art or the action of their con-
federates. He entertafns the hope, how
ever, that all the Slave States wilkunite.
in Southern CoRfederNcy. He advises
the passage of the most ample and strin-
gent laws in reference to the present sys-
tenn of lynching. To deter violations of.
these laws their enforcement should be
made reliable and severe.
Referring 20 the action of South Caro-
lima, in sending Mr.. Memminger US COM
missioner to Virginin, and the failure to
obtain cooperation for Southern confer-
ence, except from the States of Alississip-
pi-and Alabama, the Governor is of opiu-
ion that all hope of the concerted action
of the South is lost; but one course is. left
to South Carolina, consistentlyswith her
honor. her interest and her safety, and
that is, to look neither to the right nor TO
the left, but to go straight forward TO the
consummatton other purpose. 1t is too
late now to receive propositions Of confer
ing in self respect. If she should entertain
a proposition looking TO her continuance
in the present Union. The Governor en-
teFtains no reasonable doubt that Georgiu,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Texas aud
Arkansas will Immediately follow the ac-
tiono Of South Carolina, md other South
ern States will eventually complete tile
galaxy 1t is gratifying to know, he says,
that il a resort to arms is necessary, We
have. the#tender of volunteers from ali the
Southern, and some Northern States, to
repair promptly to our standard, and share
our fortunes. The Message concludes
with the following language: cannot
permit myself to believe that in the mad
ness of passion, an attempt will be made
by the next administrations to coerce South
Carolina after her secession, by refusing
to surrender the harbor defences or.intcr-
fering with her imports and exports; hut
it mistaken, we must accept the issue aud
meet it as become men and frcemcn, who
infinitely prefer onnihilatiou to disgrace.
