nation Of the appointment Of one Of their number TO
that Office but concluded to continue their journey for
the purpose of consultation with the President the

become useful member of the old United States 1t is
their determination to lose time in repairing the
damages that have accrued, and they expect to be

in vain by large majority Of the people Of the State to
amend their constitution and establish fair and equal
and liberal basis OF representation In their State govern
ment Politically the people of South Carolina will be
blessed by the reconstruction, rddpg them of in
