ranged all necessary business here relating to
the fifteenth regiment. He expressed regret
at not being able to see more of his friends;
but his brief Through and the press of bust

The following passages taken from the clos
ing portion OF the message are worth read
ing =
There is not the slightest danger of our being
sabjRgated By tie north Those ,Cho conceived such
an idea had bit lille kno,oiedge as to the elements
Of real potper. They are easily defective in all
those qualities necessary FOR efectire military or
gdmsdt'on, particularly for purposes Of modsion,
while the institutions Of the south train our
people to individual selffeliance, and to po-
lice regulations with disciplined order. There
are no agricultural people So essentially mill
tary in their carly training as are the slave
holding race OF the south.
As far as the northern states are concerned their
government Is hopeieSSy gone, and if we fail, with
all our conservative elements to save us, then,
indeed, there will be no hope for an independ'
ent and free republic on this continent, and the
public mind viii despondingly turn to the
stronger and more liked forms of the old
world"
The whole document shows nothing more
clearly than the governors trepidation, which
is felt in every part OF it, unless it be the
weakness OF South Carolina as military
power Or for any other purpose of an indie
pendent nation. The last paragraph we have
quoted is cry Of distress. 1t shows anything
but seIfrelauce and consciousness of capac-
ity, resources, aud power. And there never
was time when South Carolina showed
strength and greatness in time of trial. Dur
ing the old revolution, she could not resist the
British, and the presence Of British army at
Charleston filed the state with tories. And
big and arrogant words OF her politicians, she
is ready TO turu from herself as well as from
the federal government, and seek support in
monarchy. When we hear any sane governor
Of Massachusetts talk in that style we may
begin to despair Of the commonwealth.
