the feelings which so extraordinary doc
ument is calculated to excite. This unhap
1py old man has been suffered BY his al
yisers to arrogate the power to coerce
State Of the Confederacy. He has issue
1.-The edict Of dictator-an edict whicl
thine will prove whether he dares or cal
leaforce. He has attempted in this procla
NATION to intmidate the Wings Of Soutl
Carolina by threats, and to encourage an6
foment Instruction and violence on the part
Of the internal enemies Of the State. This
document was received here yesterday. and
greeted with Indignation and contempt
which it merits. In every freeman worthy
of the name, it has excited no other feel
ings but those of defiance and scorn. Re
creants will hal it as brave blow in the
cause of treason.
rFrom the Charleston Mercury, Dec. 10, 1881

We should, lie insisted, hurl back instant
