SOUTH CAROLINA SECESSION.
+ From the Charleston 1NerCu9Y.

Inscribed among the calendS of the world
memorable in time to come-tae 10Th day
of December, in the year of our Lord 1861,
has become an epoch in the history OF the hui
man race \ great contederated Republic,
overweight with arrogant and tyrannous
oppressions has fallen from its high estate
amongst the nat;yns of the earth. Conserva-
tive liberty has been vindca ted. Mob. GRAFT
ic license has been stricken down. Order
has been conquered, yet liberty has survived.
Right has raised his banner alott, and bid
den defiance to Might. The problem OF
self-government under the check-balance OF
slavery, has secured itself from threatened
destruction.
South Carolina has resumed her entire soy:
ereign powers, and unshackeled, has become
one of the nations of-the earth. On ycster-
day the Goth of December, just before one o.
clock p. NJ, the Ordinance of Secession was
presen ted by the Committee on ''the Ordi-
nance" to the Convention of the people or
South Carolina. Precisely at seven min
utes after one O'Clock the vote was taken up
on the Ordinance, each mans name being
called in order As name upon name fell
upon the ear Of the silent assembly, the brief
sound was echoed back, without one solitary
exception in that whole grave body--Aye
At Is o'clock, P NJ, the last name was
called, the Ordinance of Secession was an-
nouuced TO have been passed, and the last
tetter had fallen from the limbs OF a
brave, but too long oppressed people. To
describe the enthusiasm with which thus
announcement was greeted Is beyond the
the power OF the pen. The high burning
bursting heart alone can realize 1t. A
mighty voice of great thoughts and great emo
tions spoke from the mighty Threats Of one
people as O unit.
The State of South Carolina has recor-
ded herself before the universe. In rever-
ence before God, fearless of man, unawed
by power. unterrifed by camor, she has
cut the Gordian knot of colonial depen-
dence upon the North cast her fortune
upon her right, and her own right arm,
and stands ready to uphold alike her IN
dependence and her dignity before the world
Prescribing to none, she will be dictated to
BY none: willing for peace, she is ready
for war Deprecutiug blood, she is willing
to shed it. Yaluing her liberties, she will
maintain them. Neither swerved by frowns
or foes, nor swayed by timorous soilclta-
tions o. friends, she will pursue her direct
path, and establish for herself and for her
posterity, her rights, her liberties and her
institutions. Though friends may fail her
in her need, though the cannon Of her
