South Branch intelligencer. [volume] (Romney, Va. [W. Va.]) 1830-1896, 1861-02-01

~ The South Carolina Legislature on
Monday last, unanimously rejected the me-
diation of Virginia, as proffered through
her Commissioner, Judge Robertson; de-
claring that the State does not desire any
new Constitutional guarantees5 that the Sc
paration from the Federal Union is final,
and that the only negotiations she can hold
with the Federal Government are as to
their mutual relations as foreign States !!
The Legislature further declared its want
of confidence in the Federal Government,
&c. She therefore, ~ith high eoIsidera-
tons of respects for Virginia, declines en-
tering into the negotiation proposed.
South Carolina has also determined to
make final demand for the surrender of
Fort Sumter. This it appears was her ul-
timatum, transmitted by her Commissioner,
General Hayue, but withheld by him in
difference to the counsels Of Southern Con-
gressmen. Governor Pickens has now in
structed General Hayne to make the de-
mand. lie is to wait at Washington a
reasonable time for an answer to this final
demand, and then Fort Sumter must be
taken! The Legislature has approved the
Governors action.

not be brayely encountered, if our rights
cannot be otherwise maintained. But when
we are called upon to break up the Union, IN
moment of excitement, by the simultaneous
withdrawal of the remaining slaveholding States
under the vain promise of some utopian recon,
struction, it becomes rs to disaouse our mlhos Oh
so dangerous delusion, & to look all the conse-
ouences of our action steadily in the lace. ouf
rights must be maintained at all hazards; trust
for one shall be prepared to meet every sacri-
flee they may demand, with as calm and coliec-
ted heart, and as unshrinkinS spirit, as Inc
loudest patriot among US. But il they can De

and deliberate action, accompanied with hrm-

world and history, as well as our own conscience
