Il. B. Cuyler the gentleman who presented the
secession ''gavil" to the Southern Loyalsts
Convention, which assembled in this city on the
Sd OF this month, we will attempt to retute the
charge "that IL was stolen from that portion of
the Charleston Convention which seeded from
the main Convention and assembled in the
Charleston Theatre, presided over by General
Bayard of Delaware" Mr.. Cuyler claims that
after the adjournment OF that Convention TO
Baltimore, the "gavel" was returned to him by
Mir: Merchant. the manager OF the theatre, and
he kept It all through the Rebellion, brought it
to Philadelphia, and presented it to the Conven-
Vention. This "gavel' tCGS 0eUer used in the
State Secession Convention at Charleston, South
Carolina. The Charleston Courier Isl evidently
laboring under misapprehension. How it got
into the newspapers is mystery that will pro
badly never be explained We have positive
proofs that this is the identical gavel," letithe
Charleston Courier say what it may II is clearly
impossible TO suppose this ''gavil" to be in
Charleston when we know it to be in this city.
The Courier was, no doubt, misinformed, or
there may have been 'gavel" substituted for
this one; but The gavel is now in the possessoniof
those who will keep it safe.
