The Effect of Secession on Slave

In 1851, the Hon. W. W. Bovcc adj
dressed the following protest against St
c, ssion to the people Of South Carolina
Mr. Boyce is now violent Seccs sion st.
South Caroiaa cannot become a Nation.
God makes Nations-n)t man. You can
not eXtemporiz" u nation out Of South
Carolina 1t - simply impossible; we
have not tho resources. We could exist
by tolerance, and what that tolerance
would be-, when We consider the present
hostile spirit of the age to the institution
Of slavery, of which We would be looked
upon as the peculiar exponent, all may
readily imagine. ! trusi we may never
have to look upon the painful and humilia-

national Government, feeling of insccur-

the alarm and leave Us. Rut it may b.

capital is the Iifr-LIood OF Il modern com

Secession, separate Nationality, with all
its burdens, Is no remedy. 1t is no redress

OF the present, without, Ia amy Wise, .,ain-

that it is resistance, and We must no. sub
