ADDRESS.
From the Charleston' Mercury.
At a Meeting of the Central Committee
appointed by the State Convention of the
Democratic Repubbican party, held at
Stewart's Hotel, Charleston, on the 15th
and 16th inst., the following Address and
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
and ordered to be published.
To the Democratic Republican Party of
the State of South Carolina.
Fellow- Citiens-Tie position, which
it. becomes the Democratic Republican
Party of South Carolina to assume in re
gard to the approaching Convention to be
held in Baltimore ow the 4th Monday in
May next, is a matterdomandipg the gra
vest consideration-and should be deci
by what is due to your principles an
the character and interests of the State. It
*falls w'ithin the sphre of the duaties assign
ed to this Coinmittee by your Convention
in May last, to advise with you on this
subject, and it has accordingly engrossed
their roost anxious deliberations; Under
the profoundest convictions'of their respon
sihili y, the Coniittes feer it incumbent
Otn them to submit their views'to'four con
Isiderationi, with the fullest conifidence that
you' will o'v, as' you have heretofore.
done. prove imamovable true to yotir dher
shed principles, and resolute and firm in
the asseriod acd mainteanhce of' your
just rights.
We are on die eve of a great' contest
between, the two groat parties, the Demo
cratic Repuiblicatn'and Whig, wvhich is to
give ascendaddcy and-government to one -or
thae:other for fotir fears, or. perhaps a much
longer period. The precise part which it
may become our State in this contest, is
not yet satisfactorily settled, from the slow
developemnent of public measuiresdlirvhieb
it depends; and-the difficulty in our way
to an - immediate.-decision, arises not so
mauch in the conduct and principlas of ou'r
old~aaversaries,-the Whigs, as the uncer
tainty and doubt- which our-friends, the
Democrats, have permitted to gather a
roundtheirs. Of one thing -there can -be
no hesitation, that the Whig party hold
- princi ples and--advocate-measures the very
op)posite of ours, and to which we are irre
concilably 'opposed.- They are for:Tariffs
of protection, and their -high taxesi for in
ternal improvoments, sand:distribudion.of
rihe land revenue,with their conaomamitant,
:a ublie debt; for- a'Naiional;Bank; and
~for-abolishinlg the Executive-Veofrom the:
C'ojtjftitutin; and a 1atudinarian construc
tion of its powers-a combination of mea
jiures which public liberty could -scarcel
stirvivej We, on the other hand,'reita
favo'r'of-free-Iradeeand low duties;: hemlly
opposed -to interoal imnproVemfenta'or the
-disti-ibutioof-the 'public money amongst
the-Sti~Wg and their necessary concommi
tents high taxes and a heavy public debt;
for a separatioD. Of the Gevernment from
L anga nd opposed to a National Raab
and its dangerous corrupions, for the
Constitution as it is, and against its mutila
tion by abolishing the-Veto;. for a strict
adherence toits powers; for retrenchmenl
in the expensesand economy in ine adnin
istration of the Government, .and opposed
to eitravagance and waste-in the public
expenditures.
-is. tlherefore-manifest that there-is no
common creed between us and.theWbigs
-hat we are "istinctly separated from
tbemby irinoiples now: as we have been
through !bat toilsome. conflict whlh..*e
have waged in opposition to them through
along course ofyears, and thdt w*d ditonot
now turn from that opposition and support
them and their candidate, without recon
sidering or cono, -niug our conduct.here
tofore and being involved in the-greatest
inconsistency.
..The questions here arise, what should
the State dot Should she pledge her sup
port to the Detnacratic Party aud to the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention and
yield herself -unconditionally, by sending
Delegatts to that Convention? To these
questions- the Central Committe-have
given their :most careful delitieratioi, and
the fesut of their reflection is, that it would
be scarcely wine in us to to s6, nuder pre
sent circumstances. We do not mean by
this that it will, in no event, be our duty to
tvotefort hE person who may be indicated as
the candidate efthe party for Presidentoy
that Conetion. but to say thut under the
presedl ii'n-acion of4he party, we:are left
in such uicertainty as to. their adherence
to the fundaniental prinaples set forth by
them in the Resdlutionsof the Baltimore
Convention of .May, 1840,.and.whieh are
the bais of: our party association, that it
would be unwise. hefore they:are satisfa&
tonly vindidated and redeemed: in regard
in-abolition and the tariff in the present
Congress,,tripledge or to-givetour support
to any caudidate they.may. put forth-and
further, that'it.will be our bounden duty,
if 'we are abandoned and deceived in re
gard to these questions, so vital in their
importance to us, not only not to support,
hut'to oppds, and even if none others will
share our fortunes, to. stand, if need be,
and it is so willed by Providence, alone;as
we have doue before at the call of duty;
upon= the ramparts of thg Constitution,
maintaining our rights, and :defending'its
sacred provisions against all openenemies,
or faithless friends. But.it could not fail
tobe a soutde ofunmingled gratification to
us, if the party shall by its firmness and
fidelity, in the safe and satisfactory adjust
ment of two great points, remove the cau
ses of the deep anxiety which fills the
bosoms, of our people, and enables us once
more to place ourselves. heart and hand,
in array against our common opponents.
But before this is done, which can be done
as easily now, and before our votes are
needed as after, and for which we have
had repeated pledges, we should deem it
uniise for ourselves, and unjust to our
posterity to give way. Promisesor future
action are not sufficient-if unperformed,
they Wilt be sources of heart burning and
distrust-and we have had them in all the
forms we could require-we now call for
their fulfilment-we had the promises of
the compromise act and the pledges of the
Baltimore Convention of 1840, against pro
tective tariffs, and yet leading-Democrats
aided in 184,2 to oferthrow the first and to
pass the latter. The party unanimously
declared at Baltimtre, "thatall efforts of
the Abolitionists or others. made to induce
Congresi to interfere with questions of
slavery, or to take ipcipient steps in rela
tion thereto, are calculated to lead to the
most alarming and' dangerousconsequen
ces, and that all sueh efforts have an ioe
~vitable teudgney to'diminifin'the happiness
of the-people, nd edangerthe .stability
and permanency of the UnionIand ought
not to be conntenancedkyany friend to our
political instititots,"-sid~ on: Monday
the 26th of February, 18%' the almost
unanimsons vote of the .party in the House
of Represeniativ~e at W~ashipgton, re-af
finmed' this declaratioti-amd' yet, .when
called't'atotthe princi4ile the next day,

those very "abolitionists and.otheru,"which

ought not to send Delegates,' d thar her
declining to do so can neither be 'a just
cause of complaint, nor he so likely to
create alienation and unkind feelings, as
their presence would probably produce il
Delegates were sent. Their reasons are
as follows;
It is now settled and may be assumed,
that the Cprnvention will be organized ol
Delegates appointed, with very few ex
ceptions, by State Caucusses or Conven
tions. instead of being electod by the peo.
pIe directly, in Districts or otherwise.
thereby excluding the fundamental prin
ciple of the popular representation; and
that in its proceedings, their rights are to
be still further destroyed by rejecting the
vote per capita, and with it the individu
ality and responsibility of the Delegates,
and substituting for it the consolidation ol
principle of casting all the votes of a State
as the majority of all her Delegates, hthv
ever divided in votes, may deciJe,. and
counting them as though they were dnan
imous and had voted per capita. Against
this mode of organization and proceeding,
we have protested from'the first,'as cov
ering fatal encroachments on the rigts of
the people and the small and weak States.
The Convention effects nothing it assem
tiles for, if its decision does not cause the
votes of the party to unite atid go' as it
directs, and therefore the vote of ev'ery
State in which the party.is predominant,
is in effect surrendered upto the majority
of the Convention, which therepv selects
the person who is to be President. A's e
large States have the largest delegations,
and a few of these by.uniting, cpqstitute a
-majority of delegates, the' sinall and weak
States are not only not able to maintain
a choice, but are compelled to aid the lar
ger States, indefenaing their own wishes,
anal are also, inso dqiti, cutting g~i their
influence and weight in the nljitmate sWec
