upon Sotes rights. Did not the doctrine
vest the very Sovereignty that they
claimed for the State, in themsslves7
The States rights SO lauded and
loudly boasted were their own rights.
Where were the peoples rights !?
"The faction fattenei and tho people
starved"
Better for the great majority of the
white people (not to speak hero of the
ctlorod) was it to wrest this Sovereignty
called the States out of the grasp of
the oligaruhy that held, and to refer it
back to the great American peopie, of
which they were component part.
AS South Caroliuians this mass of
our people were hopelessly enthralled,
but as American citizens they were
equal and free.
1t is from this view of the doctrine Of
States rights tina. tho patriotic opposi.
tion to it's theory comes, and ircla this
viVw that the exultstiun Of the friend Of
his race and lover of his country must
arise as he coutemplates the irrctriev-
able ruin of this exploded haresy."
