reaped the benefit of our many victories on land
and sea
The Union was originally formed by the exer-
else of a spirit ofeonciliation and compronise.-i
To restore and preserve it, the same spirit must
prevail in our councils, and in the hearts of the
people.
The establishment of the Union in all its
integrity is, and must continue to be, the indis-
pensable condition OF any settlement.
So soon as il is clear, or even probable, that
our present adversaries are ready for peace, upon
the basis of the Union, we should exhaust all the
resources of craftsmanship practiced by civil
lized nations and taught by the traditions OF the
American people, consistent with the honor and
interests of the country to secure such peace, re-
establish the Union, and guarantee for the future
the constitutional rights of every state. Inc
Union is the one condition of peace-we ask no
more.
Let me add what doubt not was, although
| unexpressed, the sentiment of the convention,
as it is the people they represent, that when any
one state is willing to return to the Union II
| should be received at once, with full guarantee
| OF all It's constitutional rights.
If frank, earnest and persistent effort to oo-
tain these objects should fail, the responsibility
for Interior consequences will fall upon those who
remain in arms against the Union but the I'm
| ion must be preserved at all hazards
| could not look in the face of my gallant CON-
| rades of the army and navy who have survived
| so many bloody battles, and tell them that their
labors and the sacrifice of so many of our slain
and wounded brethren had been in vain; that
| we had abandoned that Union for which We have
so often perilled our lives.
A vast majority of our people, whether in the
army and navy, at home, would, as | would
hail with unbOunded JOY the permanent restora
ton OF peace, on the basis of the Union under
the constitution, without the efusion Of another
drop OF blood; but no peace can be permanent
without Union.
The election resulted as follows:
Lincoln's total vote 2,203, S3l
McCIelan's do l,79T.Ol!

When that order was Issued we were on

As to the purchase of fresh beef, they got
none, and the corned was not paid fort they
made that much clear. The division quar-
termaster and the conmissary were in Gen.
Clusters mess, and they made considerable of

Gen. Custer brought his wife through. on
the march. in a government ambulance, and
left the sick soldiers to die along the road,
and when he got to Hempset, Texas, he
sent an ambulance back, l45 miles, for two

monstrous crime against the best government
the world ever saw, and those guilty OF 1t trail

2. That we are for the whole Union, under the
constitution without an ssii'' or "but''regardIess

3. That we are in favor of rendering implicit
obedience all laws, both state ana national and
compelling obedience from others.
T. That we are IN favor of filing u the pIeted
ranks of our brave and gallant armies, and of a
more vigorous prosecution OF the war, but only

WINNsBoRo, S. G, THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST a. 1855.

InlS poinG ~ Is perhaps SUHlclenC TO say
that the Convention is absolutely with.
ont authority, as the Constitution of the
United States expressly provides as fol.
lows Article l. Sec. 10. "No State
shall pass any law impairing the obliga.
tion of contracts"
This clause absolutely and positively
closes the door on any such legislation in
the Convention. The 9th Article Of
the United States Constitution also
says: "This Constitution shall be the
supreme law of the land, and the
Judges in every State shall be bound
thereby, anything in the constitution
or laws OF any State to the contrary
notwithstanding" How then can the
Convention ordain Reputation of private
debts, or contracts in any form, when such
provisions as | have just cited in the
United States Constitution stare it so
so boldly and unqualifedly in the face ?
Whatever can be done TO ameGorate
the condition of debtors will devolve up.
ON the Legislature. Perhaps practi
cal plan for the Legislature to pursue in
this regard would be to borrow money
on the credit Of the State and loan it on
time with ample security to those who,
by political viclssitudes, find themselves
more in debt than their present ability
topay,
would heartily approve of any poll
cy which the Legislature nigh pursue
to aid the debtor class within the scope
OF the Constitution and wise foresight.
Pass liberal insolvent debtors law
homestead law. extend the stay law,
or any measure that would afford relief
to debtor, will meet with. hearty
concurrence on my part.
am not without hopes, too, if the
Southern. States manifest wisdom and
moderation in the present inncture of our
affairs, that the United States may
be brought to reimburse, in part at least,
the owners, for the emancipated slaves.
1t is well known fat that Mr.. Lin.
coin proposed, in the peace conference
at Fortress Monroe, to pay the South
four hundred millions of dollars for their
! slaves. l. don't despair but that some
such measure as this may yet become
the law.
have thus, fellow-c citizens, laid be-
fore you an outline of my views as to the
action Of the Convention. If they meet
with your appreciation, and you think
proper to assign TO me the duty of being
one of your members in the approaching
Convention / will accept your mandate
with due sense Of your kindness, and
do ell in my power to advance your in-
terests, and secure yonr rights, so that
