COLUMBIA, s. G., April 10,
TO His Et:slIeney D. Il. Chamberlain, Gov.
Of South Carolina
DEAR sIR:-Recurring to the views
severally expressed by us during the per
sonal conference which we had the honor
to hold with you yesterday in regard to
the political complications which have
grown out Of the late canvass in this
State, We beg leave to apprize you form
ally ol the conclusions we have reached,
after mature deliberation and the gray.
est reflection which we have been able ia
bestow on the subject. Whilst We arc no
less inspired with admiration for the dig.
nihed and resolute manner in which you
consistently maintained your claims TO
the gubernatorial chair by virtue OF the
election IN November last, than we are
solemnly impressed with the validity oil
your title to the office. We are unani.
nous in the belief that to prolong the
contest in the absence OF THAI moral aid
to which we feel ourselves and our party
justly entitled at the hands of the nation,
al administration, installed in large
measure through the same agencies which
are now held to be insufficient for our
maintenance, will be to incur the re.
sponsibility Of keeping alive partizan
prejndices which are in the last degree
detrimental 10 the best interests Of the
people Of the State and perhaps Of pre-.
cipitating physical, conflict that could
have but one result to our deienceless
condition. We cant afford to contribute
however indirectly to such catastrophe
even in defence OF what We know to be
our rights. We are agreed therefore, in
counSelling you TO discontinue the strug'
gle for tie occupancy Of the Governors
Chair; convinced as we are, thatin view
OF the disastrous odds to which its main.
tainance has been subjected by the action
OF the National Administration, your
retirement will involve no surrender oil
principles, nor will it be misunderslood
by the great body OF that political party
to which in common with ourselves, you
are attached, and whose success in the
past in this State has been ennObled by
your intelligence and unsellish services
We have the honor to be
Neryrespectfully yours,
