Provisional Governor wsa appointed, !, who
called another convention. of the apeopla,
which has lately repealed the Ordinance Of
Secession; and by an article in the Stats Con.
stitrsion recognised thssabolition Of slavery
and prohibited its.te.estsblshment BY re-
psaling that Of Secession, the Ordinances Of
1888, through which South Carolina became
member Of the Union, was .ipso .taeto re.
vived, and 70 are, this .dsy in the Union pre-:

We are now in very anomalous position,
Relying upon tho good faith and patriotic int
tentioas of the President! of the United
statea we have donenll that was required
Of us to restore our old relations to the Con.
stitution and the Union; but still We have
not been received into fellowship atWssh,
ingtcn.. That important part Of the plan of
reconstruction remains let % be accomplished;
1t 10 understood, that 8 party sgilI oppose the
Presidents plan Of reorgauizing the States
and giving to them EQUALITY of rights, and
will insist npon still farther despoiiing and
crushing the States oftl,e South as conquered
provinces; This radical ,Yanatical party OPP
posed oar leaving the Union, and dow they
oppose our returning 70 it. When we were
IN the Union, they abused us on account: Of
slavery. They waged war upon US because
we tried to separate from them, and now
that we propose to return without slayety
they still object. In this emergency, tie
State needs the assistance of al her true
men. Much remains to be done, and not ths
least is to secure prudent, faithful and pa
triotic representation in Congress, to assist
and forward the work Of restoration which
the State has commenced Iarrogate MOTTO
myself fitness to form part of such repre-:
sentation, but friends have urged me forward
and if you are willing to try me, 1 will give
my best efforts. 90 S.''.;'
In some respects, we are at the begtnning
of our policy, as if we were new State
about to assume new relations with our sister
States; but we must no. allow ourselyesto
forget that in ether respects We are an old
State--a State having antecsdents-n name
to maintain and history to preserve What
ever .may betide Us in the uncertain future,
the past at least, IS secure. South Carolina
has never swerved from the path Of honor,
as she conceived It. We have o record Of
which none need be ashamed and when any
apostate son of hers disclaims or dispafages
it, may she cast him out as unworthy Other.
The devotion of every true son Of the State
adheres in adversity as well as in prosperity

After the delegation from thes.Southern
States snail have been received into Gepgfess,
many delicate and important duties will de.
volve upon them, especially in reference to
the freedmen Of the South, and the. control
which Congress; or party in Congress-. may
desire still to exercise over them. 1t maj not
be improper, in this connection, tosay that
whilat hare approved the course of tie
State in seeking to- restore her old relations
With the Government of the United Statss,.it
has been upon the faith and expectation that
the State, as soon as reconstructed, is tohavs
entire control of the whole subject of her
domestic. affairs. The State; and the.State
alone, must be ;leftto.decidecto whom she will
give tho right. of suffrage. or other political
rights. a new. code noir must be enacted to
protect and govern the population latelgmgaa
