From the Charleston Mercury, Nov. IA
We desire 10 deprecate individual nominations 10 the
Conventions at this momentous uncture Of public Affairs
Personal preferences should place In
sells Ambitious aspirations should receive no coun.
tenanoe from The people The pablo good, and that
time for the gratncation Of any desire for advance
ment Place should seek the men, and not the place.
None should be esger-none should refuse TO attempt
In such crisis, 70 push individual plralities either
personal or political will prove PAndora's box, filed
with all the evils Of jealousy, alienation, division and
trials that stare ~ In the face We would again warn
our people repess and restrain any easernes for place
in this Convention We appeal % their patriotism and
sense OF danger 70 check orwardness In individuals and
their friends Let M eDdeavor and see nrst whether .

one purpose devoted 10 the accomplishment Of end
Tho declaration by that Convention OF the separation OF
the State OF South Carolina from these United States,
however striking and grand in itself may be, not the

the departments OF government they existing
under the provisions of the consultation OF state win
rev exigencies which viii arise Ia the cousderaton
OF these matters the adjustment OF them and the
tainmert Of and provision for all circumstances which
