ProPoscd Declaration Of Independenc
Of south Carolina.

The following is said TO be one of the
proposed forms of declaration of indie
pendence to be submitted TO the South
Carolina Convention, which is to ID eel
on the l1th prvxino:
When, in the course Of human events
1t becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to
assume among the powers of the earth
The separate and equal station TO which
the Laws Of nature and Of natures God
ent'tle them, a decent respect to the
olinions Of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We holLs these truths to be self.evi-
dent: that although all men are created
vhollv unequal, mental7y, morally and
p]IySieoHy,y yet they aressh equally eu'i-
tied, under every civilized government,
to the full protection o> their lives, per-
sous and property; for which protection
governments are solely instituted among
men, deriving their just powers solely
from the consent Of the governed that
Whenever any form of government be-
comes destructive Of these ends, it is
the right OF the people to alter, or to
abolish it, and to institute a new govern-
ment, lay ing its foundation on such prin-
ciples, and organizing its powers in such
form as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that gov
ernments long established should uot
be changed for light and transient
causes; and, accordingly, all experience
hath shown that mankind are more dis
posed to suffer while ills are suferable,
than to right themselves BY abolishing
the forms to which they are accustomed
But when a loag train of abuses and
usu7potio"s, pursuing invariably the
same object, evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Jespotism, it is
their right, it is their duty, to throw of
such government, and to provide new
guards for their future security. Such
has been the patient sufferauce of the
Southern States of this Union, and such
is now the necessity which constrains
them to alter their present system of
Federal Governments. The history Of
the present Northern States is history
Of repeated injuries, insults, and usurpa-
tions-all having direct object in the
of an absolute tyranny
over tue Southern States. 10 prove
his, let facts be submitted to candid
world:
lst. The Northern States of this
Union have, for many long years, warred
against our peculiar institution of slave
y, instigated by the dictates of re-
entless fanaticism, which declares that
institution to be moral sin, whilst we
,old it to be Divine institution, estab-
ished by God himself in the following
lecree enunciated to Moses on Mount
Sinai: "Both thy bondmen and bond
maids which thou shalt have, shall be of
be heather that are around about you;
# them shall ye buy bondmen and
moreover, of the children
# the strangers that sojourn among you,
# them shall ye buy, and they shall be
'our possession ye shall take them as
N inheritance for your children after

Seeing Eye only knows how horrbly-she had sent
one OF the vile crew to his account
For one instant Benedetto vas struck literally dumb
with horror, which may be possibly imagined-never
Justly described.
Then with yell of rage more like that of an nfu-
rated beast than human being, he drew his heavy
hunting knife and literally hacked the body of Champe
to pieces. Then kneeling down by the side OF his
poor murdered wife, he sobbed and wept as only
brave man can in utter desperation of misery. And
then, again, the madness of end seemed to possess
him for he knew that the of the murderous gang
yet lived-the marks of their great wrong were too
plain to be mistaken, i'll only MURDER but robbery
Selling his weapons with steps RAPID than those
OF the panther the trail of his victim, he eaped away
in the direction of the camp where they had dwelt.
But they were no longer there
Slowly, as if studying out some wild, deep plan of
revenge he walked back to his dessolate home. And
calmly now he took up her. body and bore it away to
the side of a crystal stream, and washed away the
death stains And returning the house, he sought
out her bridal garments, and dressed her in them
And STILL without sigh sob, tear he dug her
grave in spot where of they had sat beneath the
shady trees. Itwas nightall when all this had been
fniehed-but he did not pause for rest. Selecting
only his faYorite weapons and ammunition, but taking
no hing else from the house. he it fire, and in
the light of its blaze he departed his mission Of
revenge.
And terribly that mission fulfilled the records
of California will show. No miner in tie
mines and diggngs for leagues and leagues around the
Sierra Neveda. He never touched their gold-all he
sought was life and that with all the cunning and fe
rocity of the tiger Not Of all who had followed
Champe to his lone hut escaped him and many an
other fell whose fate, perchance has never been learn
ed by those most interested After years of success
at last hunted down by those who induced to the
risk by large rewards, Benedetto slain, and his
head carried San Francisco The bandit Of the mines
