"Equality or ladependence," has been her watchword: no thinking man can deny that the former is lost to her, and is furcver uiat tainable, in this ConfeIderacy ;and if her cour age equals her sensibility to insult and injury. she Cannot deelinie to strike early and reso lutely for the latter. For one, I should vote for secession; and with the ccneurrence of a respectable majori ty of her people, for unqualitied sec,:sion. Very Respect fully, 1. C. M. HAMMOND. ToR T![2 ADVEnTIsMr.. Mr. Editor:-By the kindness of somei oi niv friends, my name has been placed in your paper,as a suitable person to represent the District in the State Convention. I am much obliged to my friends fur this mark of their kindness, but must say in all candour, that I feel that it is a position that I am not quali tied to occupy. Should, however, the people of Edgefield District see fit to elect me, I shall not shrink from the discharge of my duty, and shall endeavor to do what I Con ceive to be right, fearlessly and independently. In regard to what course the State should adopt at this time, I will simply present my humble views:-I think that South Carolina should use every honorable means in her power, to enlist the co-operation of the other Southern States, in forming a Southern Con federacy, but should she fail in getting their co-operation, after using all honorable inea sures to do so, I think she should then take the matter in her own handls: and if in her wisdom, she thought it best to secede, I should go for such a measure, be the conse quenices what they wa1y. Respectfully. Z. W. CARWILE. roR. TIE ADVER TI$Rl. Mr. Editor:-In answer to the call for their sentiments upon those whose names a'e before the public for seats in the Convention, I will answer briefly: That I think secession should be ef'eted by co-operation with one or more of the slAve States. If that cannot be obtained, South Carolina should, in the last resort, secede alone. It is her indisputable right, and the first ret of agrgression if amy should follow it, must be committed by the U. S. Government. Such act of aggression should biing every slave State to our aid; but should it not, we Nould rather meet the consequences of asgerting this right, than leave it to be done by our children, in a far worse condition than ourselves for such an issue. ,31. L. BONIIAM. -- B roR TUE ADvERTISER. Mr. Editor :-As my rame. through the kindness of friends, has been announced in your columns for a seat in the Convention, I deem it a duty I owe to them and the people of the District, thus formailly to declare, that I do not wish to be considered a candidate for the posilion. I make this forma:l declaration of my pur pose tht Imayreturn my sincere thanks to those of my friends, to whose partiaility I am indebted for the aninounicemienit; and at the s:utne time to. relieve myself from the awk wvardness of seeming to occupy an equivoCal position before the people of the Dis.trict. Ihowever willing, I umay be. at all1 times to serve may D~istrier, int this or :any other pomi tion it mayv chose to placee me, yet, I am un willing jo embarrass the people inl their choice, by allowinig my name to be used for so high und responsible an oflice, without some mnure decided mnanifestation of public sentiment, than the kindniess and partiality of a few of mny friends.
