There are sornecurlous condolences in South
Carolina history between past and present,
which deserve remembrance. South Carolina
was the first Of the Colonies to declare an inde-
pendent State Constitution in the days of the
Revolution. South Carolina was the first to
seccde from the late Confederacy and declare an
independent Constitution. South Carolina was
the first State in the Revolution ofl776 to beat
back the enemy. SThis was done in Charles
ton harbor. SoutiisCaroina vas the first of
the seeding States in 1851 to obtain a tri-
umph over the Abolition invader and nsurper,
and again in Charleston harhor! All the, fights
in the Revoution;sin 1776-Lcxington and
Bunker HiIl-were American defeats. That

MAN. of North Carolina.

Last night large number OF our citlzenst ist ss
proceeded to the Charleston Hotel, with a, band
of music, and seronadcd the Hon. Thomas u.
clingman, Of North Carolina. In the course
Of his speech, lie. said there was no doubt that
North Carolina would stand by The Palmetto
State. Applause. North Carolina had been en-.
a little slow, but in the Old Revolution per
.baps she had been fast enough. South Caro-
lima had been the first Slate to sccedc, and she
|.had fought the first battle aud won the first
victory. Applause.l For the last twenty
years South Carolina had been denounced by
the.freesoil element of the North, but South.
Fcarolina occupied proud position, because no
country il the world, perhaps, has ever made
d revolution, with that unanimity and order
with which they have. Abiding to the forces
in action, he said Napoleon never had such q. a
guard as South Carolina had in the recXt
action. FA voice-aHe He never had Bcauregard."
That is 50 .(said the speaker) Beaurcgard is

supposed she would tumble iuin the: midst OF OF

S|5bad the slightest doubt that this movement
would produce war. lie had no DOUBT the
