When Baron De Kalb met General Marion,
during the Revolution, be expressed his
amazement that SO many s'South Garolinians
were running to take British protection. p
Marion's explanation of the source of Toryism
then will answer very well to account for Sc
cession aud its attendant bluster to-day; it
was:
Thepeople of Carolina form two classes, the rich
and the poor. The poor very poor; the rich,
who have slaves to do all their work. give them no
employment Unsupported by the rich, they con-
tnue poor and low spirited. The little they getis
laid clit in brandy, not in books and newspapers
hence they know nothing of the comparative bles-
sings OF our country, nor of the dangers which
threaten It; therefore they care nothing about it.
The rich are generally very rich; afraid to stir e&t
the British should burn their houses aud carry Off
their negroes.
The circumstance that South Carolina con-
triburcd little or nothing to acquire the inde-
pendenee Of these States, aud much to said
and comfort the enemy which resisted it,
gives her ne right now to attempt the subyOr-
sion Of it.
