was holy and right.
The exercises having been concluded,
the large throng surged up to the SPEAK
ers stand, to clasp the hands OF the
distinguished men who had stirred true
Southern hearts that hour.
The tablet is made of pure white
Vermont marble and is four feet wide
by eight feet in length. It's edges are
nicely beveled, and the polish is Of a
superior quality. The top Of the table
is surmounted by representation Of
the old State flag, with the crescent and
the palmetto tree. Under this is a copy
of the ordinance Of secession and the
names of the signers CT the great writ.
The work was done at the yards Of Mr..
+. H. Hyatt, and is fairly well execut-
ed. The lettering is of the old fash
ioned script and is pretty in design:
The inscription is brought into relief
by the lettering being painted black.
The time has been long since the or
dinance of secessi was adopted, and
many whose names are there written
have been ~eunited with the nations
fathers where sectional jealousies are
no more, and secession does not become
necessary, as it was in South Carolina.
There are few people in South Carroll
ma who have the original parchment,
which is framed in the Office Of the Sec
retary of state. There are not many
more who know the purport of the ordi-
nance which is engraved upon the tab
let. Following is IN exact copy:
