the stapje growing States of America,includ. in SonthtCiro'na. sn :L. - M_:.b% agriultural- staples of .the South. ern States of the American Union which are produced by slave labor, can, from their ex. tent variety, cheapness and prime impor. tance,,cammand nearly all the markets of the world, and make the whole human family, ,nors or less, tributary to the prosperity and grandeur of these States, provided they can exercise the privilege of receiving, at their option, in return, the productions of all other countries, free from injuriously. restrictive import duties. 1H. Thse citizens of the Northern and non slaveholding States of this Union, devoting their labor chiefly to manufacturing, farming and their incidents, are deeply interested in imposing high duties on the most important imports from other countries, in order to mo nopolize the markets of the slaveholding States- for . their own productions, at high prices. . These States, therefore. will never willingly consent to any liberal system of free trade, such as the Southern states re quire. And .influenced, also, to. an extraordi nary degree, and permanently, it is believed, by false views of religion. humanity and poli cy, they will not psrmit the Southern States to hold their slave undisturbed; and will not cease zealously to endeavor to abolish negro slavery every where ahd altogether. IV. These. non-slaveholdiug States, con taining -a numerical majority of the citizens of the United States,.and having complete control of.botli ouses of Congress and the Electoril Collige, with the certainty of be ing able to: maintain such control as long as this Union lasts: and having heretofore stren uously exercised their power to impose high duties on importsiand to arrest the extension of African slavery for the express purpose of hastening its abolition: and there being no prospect that they will ever cease to impose such duties and interfere with slaveholding though to do either is a flagrant violation of the Constitution of the United States-it follows that the existing Union of the non slareholding:and slaveholding States of North America, isand ever will be wholly incom patiable with the full developement of the natural advantages of the latter States, and their attainments to that, position of power, prosperity and happiness to which they are justly entitled. - V. The people of South Carolina. con vinced of the truth and importance of these views, are distinetly and unalterably..pposed to a longer enntin'uance of this Union; and are ardently desirous of its speedy dissolu .tion and the formation of a Southern Con federacy composed of slaveholding States only. -And they *ouild promptly and gladly adopt ay practical measure to promote such dissolution, aind. the formation of such a con federacy.. -e-VI. effect these ends, they would forth with withdraw themselves from the existing Confederacy without reservation for-ver,and are only restrained from doing so by the fol lowing considerations, viz: . They have no sufficient reason to be lieve that any other slaveholding State would at this time-follow.their example and unite with them,-bu, on the contrary, they believe that all'the Stites, their own excepted, are yet disposed to adhere to this Union, at least unti. farth'e'r-injuiries are iiflicted on them. '2. They havereason to believe that if they did-secede fron the.presenti Union, the non slaveholding majority whieh controls the-newv National sGovernmeut- would immediately taks measutresito coerce them into entine sub -mission- to their 'witll, which ineasui-es they are constrained'to-asekn'owledge, they-cearly have not the'.phytaI: ability, unarded by othraeboldiegtattsffetusly to.resist. si.Tliey have much grddto'pielend that froni the narrow limits of the territory of Soutlh Carolina. .and the,.srseness of her popsilation;, she wvould not be able, situnted on the open sea, and bounded in the interior by :States;of 'the Union, eveh if permitted peaiceably to secede, to maintain, alone; the dignity and independence of a nation of re spectable -rank- among the nations 'of the wot-id. - - - VII. While for these reasons the people of South Carolina reluctantly decline for the present, to. withdraw-from the existing Union, and declare their State a separate and ide pendent Sovereignty, they are so fully con vinced of the fata influence of the. Union up on the interests and character of the slave holding States, that they cannot doubt the time, is not far off, when these States, or a suficeient number of them, will unite in such withdrawal and Declaration of Independence. And they are also fully convinced that phaced as they and the peop!e of the other slave holding States are in a permanent and hope less mmnority in the present General Govern ment, there is no utility in longer continuing voluntarily, to take a part in its councils, or tiaintaining any co'nnection wvith it, whieb can be dissolved without affording plausible pretexts for violent collision. 'V~I. This Convention, therefore, ordians as fundamental and perpetual laws in the sitate of South Carolina, that !l. No Electors shall hereafter be appointed by - this State to vote for President or Vice President of. the United States, and no vote shall be given'by the State in these elections. 2. No Senators or Representatives to the Federal Congress shall hereafter be chosen by or in this State, and the seats of those al ready ehosen .are hereby vacated. 3. Every citizen of this State who shall hereafter accept and hold any office of honor, profit or trust, under the General Govern mient, or any of its departments-save such local civil offices as exist or may be Consti tutionally er'ted in the State,shall instant ly and 'orever ense to enjoy all and every of the privileges of citizenship itt South Caro lina, and all his property in the State shall be liable to a tax of six per cent per annum ad valorem, whieh the Legislature shall impose by a general lair at the next session. 4. The State of South Carolina shall not accept any appropriation made by the Gener al Government, for the use of the State, or for the benefit of any portion of the citizens thereof, which it may be in her power to refuse withoiut violating the Constitution of the United States. 5. The Legislature shall, at its next ses sion, impose double taxes on all the proper Ly within, this State belonging to persons residing hereafter for the space of one month or more in any year in any nonslaveholding State -or states,'which tax may be increased at the option of the Legislature, but never reduced below double the amount paid by those residing continually in thle slavehold ing States. 6. T,he. .Iegislature shall, to the extent it msry-deei.'expedient, and permitted by the Constitution' of the:United States, impose taxes oxtlb-fnfactures and other produc tions of the non-slaveholding States, when importd4Ate~ukarlina. 71. The Legisliuolishall sncourage manu factures and intenaimproqements in this State, by granting,arith due discretion, lib eral charters to 'private; eomnpaniies applying for them, for these purposes. lt shall en courage agriculture, and- esibendly drainage, in every judicious manner. - Ankit shalt,- at as early a period as' may berebnvint; ap ply all'the surplus funds of the-StatW~'*ich rn beannliednrith benefi to -aid inl +he a. tablishmant of direct commercial-intereouse with foreigh, nationsh-by steafships'adopted to the purpose of war, in case of need. IX. This Convention of the people o South Carolina thus, from stress of circum stances, openly placing their ,belovedtSttat in the position-which has, in point of fact, been long her actual position-of a conquer ed province submitting, for the time, to ty ranny and oppression, which they have not the power successfully to resist, and, there fore forbear to attack, resting here, until, by the blessing of God, they shall acquire suffi cient strengtn, either by the co-operation of others or their own exertions, to assert and maintain all their just rights. N. B. By the adoption of an Ordinance such as this, the Convention will redeem all the pledges of the State-actual and attri buted, and will maintain unimpairted her honor, dignity and influence. All collision with the General Government will be ob. viated, yet South Carolina will be norlIly out of the Union, and a blow stricken that will be fatal to the moral power of the Un ion itself. The Slave-holding States will not feel themselves rebuked, but conceded to and their jealousy will cease, their sympa thies will be enlisted, and should the plat form thus erected prove a safe and peaceful one, a number of them will no doubt place themselves upon it at the next aggression of the General Goverment-whenever Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi come to it -the Union is dissolved and a Southern Confederaev formed. Tn the meantime South Carolina can lose nothing that she has not already lost in this Union. And those who really desire tq see its dissolution will rejoice to find the entering wedge fairly fixed, while those-if there be any-who are merely playing a game in politics, and moving the people of this State as they would pawns upon the board for their own ends, will be defeated and exposed. If the Union is to be dissolved it is belived it must be done by some such process as that here suggested. It is altogether improbable that any number of States will ever, either consentaneously or in Convention, together deliberately resolve on a direct rapture when the highest excitement is created by Northern outrages, the area of the Southern States is too large and the population too scattered to expect that a sufficient number of individuals, to accomplish any thing of moment, will unite and act in concert upon sudden impulse. And the present state of thing, furnishes convincing proof that if any one State as4sumes the lead, and endeavors by a violent course to seduce or compel other States to follow her, they will almost certain ly draw back. The only plan that promises success is for the aggrieved States to wheel out of line, each in her own time, and on iar own sense of Orovocation, and having secured an impregnable position, calmly to wait until a proper number shall have formed on the same ground, and then to close up in solid column.
