lFFo" tHe hlChmohu " mig.
AS has been often remarked, the seces-
slonists Of South Carolina have now fur.
nished abundant evidence that they have
bc>n long conspiring for the dissolution
of the Union. The following are extracts
from speeches made in the South Carroll
na Convention. viz
MIR. Packer, speaking of secession said:
" 1t is no spasmodic effort thst has come
suddenly upon US, but is had been grad.
ually eliminating for long series Of
years.
Mr.. lng'es said "Most of US have
had this subject under consideration for
the last twenty Year,"
Mr.. keitt said: Il have been en-.
gagged in this movement ever since enter
ing political life"
Mr., Rhett said: /" 1t is nothing pro-
duced by Lincoln's election, or the non
execution of the fugitive slave law 1t
is a matter which has been gathering
lead for thirty years" And he further
said: "We are about to sunder our re-
lations with that section (the North, )and
| trust forever
On another occasion Mr. Rhctt said !:
" The Federal laws, laying taxes on the
people of South Carolina, have fallen this
day and, SO far as we are concerned,
fallen, trust, forever"
Hence, it appears that there has been a
long concoc'ed conspiracy to overturn the
Government of the United States, and
that the causes hitherto alleged are mere
pretex's.
Does any friend Of the Union believe
that these men intend ever to return to
their allegiance, no matter what conces-
sions are made by the North, if they can
help it? If so, he is under dangerous
delusion.

States rates are better maintained than

there is less danger of servlle revolt there
than in the cotton States. 10 South
Carolina, for instance, the perlous aspect
OF the social question absolutely prevents
the sale OF. exchange of slaves; and while
the nominal rates have declined at least
thirty per cent. there are no sales to test
the decline. 1t may be safe, however,
to estimate that if the Involuntary labor

And touch'd the frowing cloud,
And its sable rim disparted.
And it fed with murky shroud.

And the Pole star kept its place.

A SCRAP OF HIsToRY.-Therc have
been ten specified attempts to defy the
authority Of the Federal Government
since the formation.
The first was in 1882, and was a con.
spiracy of some of the officers of the
Federal army to consolidate the thirteen
States into Que, aud confer the supreme
power on Washington.
The second was in 1887, called Shay's
insurrection, in Massachusetts.
The third was in 1874, popularity called
The Whiskey lnsu'rectiou Of Pennsyl.
vania.'
The fourth Instance was in 1915, by
the Hartford Convention Federalists.
The fifth. on which occasion the diff
ercnt sections OF the Union came into col.
lision, was IN 1920, under the Admins.
tration of President Monroe. and occur.
red on the question of the admission Of
Missouri into the Union.
The sixth was a collision between the
Legislature of Georgia and the Federal
Government, in regard to certain lands
given by the latter to the Creek Indians.
The seventh was in 1920, with tho
Cherokees in Georgia.
The eighth was the memorable Multi
flying Ordinance of South Carolina in
1882.
The np,L was in ls42, and occurred
in Rhode Island between the Suffrage
Association and the State authorities.
The tenth was in 1856, on the part of
the Mormons, who resisted the Federal
authority.
