Resolved, That the Governor of the State he re
quested to forward a copy of these resolutions t
the Governors of all the Sta.s of this Coufederacy
and to our .Senators and Re presentatives in Con
gress.
And now, to cap the climax of this day's resolu
tions, road mo the resolutirts of Mr. ELLIorT:
Whereas the Convention of this State, in 1852
declared that the.State was amply justified in dis
solving at once all political connection with he
eo-States; aud whereas she was restrained frot
exercising her sovereign right. to do so, in defer
enco to the opinions of her sister States of th
South; and whereas, sine that time, there ha
ueen inflicted on her people wrougs, still more fl
grant and insulting-still more degrading thu
those complained of-and as the sentimes* of hi
people is now unanimously for aotion ; be It ther
fore,
Resolved, That the Governor is authorized au
empowered to call to his aid two citizeus froi
each Coungressional District of the Stat*, who wi
binijelf sball constitute a cummittee of safety; th
the said coiuwittee shall be authoriard to teu
muunicat with and enter into negotiationd atl
league with the Governors and people of tho ath
slavebolding Stutem who are prepared to 1ini
with us in repelling the encroachments ua, pt
,tho.South by the Abolition party, which by b
come ihe prniinezt p..wer iu the uon-vlaomholdit
States o.f this inion.
v.-.reed. That when the Committee of Safe
aoicirur t~o inv ue the Legisla tire, to taku ar
action that shall be necessary to'protoct the hon
and secure the safety of this State.
Resolred, That the Governor is authorized,
behalf of this State, to invite the Legislatures
slaveholding States to appoint imilar committe
to carry out the objects had in view.
Resolved, That the Committee of Safety, wh
in the actual discharge of duty, shall be entitl
to receive the pay and mileage now allowel Iet
hers of the Legislature, and that their term of du
shall expire with the election of the next tov
nor, unless sooner dissolved by the Legislature.
Was it not PATRICK HUc'xaer that said, "the ba
tle is not to the strong alone but to the vigilai
the active and the brave." Mr. ELLIOTT, it will
seen, proposes to cover the " vigilant" itart of t
great Virginian's remark. I confe.s I like all
resolutions as well as I cau like ay resolutivi
which is not, by the way, a very absorbing aff

It has been our way in South Carolina. We i

hituated to them, until they are in some sort i

this idea, a corollary may be deduced: Let

CAVt:Oos.-" Several months ago there was an e.r
pose, in the Times we believe, of an A meriean beg
ging-letter writer, who was in the habit of ad
dressing letters to persons in England whose deaths
had been announced in the English newspapers
sent to the United States, which letters, on their
arrival in this country, would be opened by a Sur
. viving relative. Thoso letters purported to como
. from a person in great distress, who had already
experienced the bounty of the deceased, and,
I while thanking him for the aid so afforded, most
earnestly implored a further remittance (generally
. of 101. we believe), periaps also with a distinct
I reference, in some cases, to an implied promise on
his part to send more money. Such letters were
r well calculated to impose upon sympathising, un
I suspecting relatives, still suffering under their be
t reavement; and the apparent fact that the de
ceased had already made remittances to the wri
ter naturally precluded the idea that any formal
investigation was neeassary in a case where the
a claim had been practically admitted, especially as
. it appeared to be one that would not admit of de
Iy. The result, doubtless, was that several per
sons were victimised before the exposure took
r place ; and even now there may still be victims to
o this fraud; but the exposure (or the success) has
led to the adoption of a still more cunning and di
lAbolical mode of obtaining remittances--a mode
which is at once a foul libel on the dead, and In-.
t alets a cruel wound upon the livin;, especially
ul',)n bereaved widowr, mnu.y of whom would
probably comply with the demand in silence
