that Tie people of S. c. must have conven-
t;an and ,amtad their Constitution by aboiishins

tho proposed amendment te. the Constitution Of
the United States, which prohibits and excludes
slavery everywhere.
End, Each State under TIE Constitution of the
United States is guaranteed republican form of

abolish all the aristocraicul or oligarchical feo
lures Of beS present. Constitution, to wit: Whit
