that South Carolina would not be in the van
of her sister States. He was not there to
prove to them their right to secede, but said
she had a right to secede, the people say she
has, the Legislature says she has, and Heav-
en- will say she has the right and if the gov
eminent at Washington should say she has
not the right, then let them prove it by
taking the right away.
Mr.. Colcock said that, although there was
such large crowd present, he wished TO
see one more person present, and that was
Mr.. Lincoln. He would take him by the
hand, bring him to the platform. tell him to
look upon that crowd, and ask if he ever ex-
pected TO WELD the sceptre of the President
over the heads of that people. Honest
Abe" would answer, with dOwncast eyes,
never.
