B| excesses and errors ebould be overlooked ^ or submitted to for the sake ol tbe coin- *t* mon cause and tlie good of tbe people.? ^ I cannot, however, find it consistent wit Mil my views of right, justice or expediency j, that any audi opinion abound be held or v advocated In the beginning of trior, it , is the duly of wise men to arrest, if poe- N sible. Its progress, and I therefore feel it , to be tbe prinledge of every citizen to , bring to the notice of the people, in the j most public mauner, facts which deeply f affect tliern in their desire and inteutiou \ ^ f to see right and justice done to all. The Contention of tliia Slate, which, , be it remembered, waa called for a legiti* , mate and praiawortby object, (that of ta , king our State out of the old Union,) haa , aeen fit, without giving to the world or , to the citisena of our Stale ita reason* therefor, to overthrow the eetabliehed Conattluiion of the Slate, and to say that leeauu they order it, thus and to ahall be done in relation to the administration of our public affaire. Whether or not they had the right, I do not propoee to diacuee ?it ia a question of law entirely; but the fact does exist that their orders have been carried into effect, and that (he Governor of our Stale, conali tut ion ally elected by the General Assembly, ia now a**isted ' and "etreiipthentd" in the discharge of bis duliee by four gentlemen given him by the Convention. The Convention, or thoee who compose it, are the repreren* lativea of the people?therefore the peo pie have a right lo approve or disapprove of their actione ; and I, as one of the pen* pie, feel it to be my privfledge to aak my fellow citixene whether or not they approve of the action of the Convention in establishing an "Executive Council I" a.i ..t.i i..r...? it,. ..... ! ceiled by tb? Legislature of our State lo ! effect * particular object. Wfi^n ihepeo-' | pie elected their representative* to the J Convention, they knew that any m?n ; who whs resolved to give his vote for the ! immediate secession of South Carolina 1 would suit their views, for they sent their j | representatives there to vote for that im- . mediate secession, and nothing else.? ' They never for one moment thought that i alter the State whs earned out ol * lie U nioa, this Convention would continue to renew tuelf etui it* power eternally. If ' i they had thought that they were to lie j goveri.ed by tbia Convention aa loi.g aa j the ear ahould laet, they would, I am J eeriain, bate taken a great deal more oare ! whom they elected to be their m mi era ' | for awch a UwfUo# tip* Tho paopla, j icrefore, Imd n riffht lo expect that the (.invention would have adjourned mi ton nit (lie object fur which it wae called ad been accomplished.
