constitution and laws Of the State, legal

LthenUnited States has established. this
proposition rs settled law,by an unbroken
| current of decisions.
f. THAT Judgment we have had The honor
to lay before your Excellenoy. The title
OF Wade Hampton, Esq, to the Office of
EoYernor is derived from his election by
the people; and the highest judicial tri-
bunal Of the State has soleInnly affirmed
that title. He, therefore, as the Governor
of the State Of South, Carolina, addresses
r yonr Excellency, invoking the action of
| the President, not for the, solution OF a
| judicial question, but for the exercise of
his power Us omfnauder.in:C Chief of the
I,Army sofItlle Bnitcd Statts, to terminate
han. intervention by Federal troops, which
hinders him in the due execution of his
lawful authority as Governor, and subof.

The iso-oalledt revocation ! Is clear-
ly, without legal force to annul the
judgment of the Supreme Court. The
Judgment VI d court OF last resort can
only be reviewed by the rcSaYt itaelG.
The two iIustiaes- who rendered the de-
cision IN tie Gauge, constitute the judicial
Unit termed the court. Neither, eana-

I, We deem it proper to note the unde-
niabiei facts that the snprslne Court
which owing to the Hines of the Chief
Justice, consisted only ofahe two Aaso-
ciatec Justices, adjourned on Tuesday,

Friday, and during the said recess Jus.
