tcqdings ofMthe Negro . Conyeqtj^n, a; row joor
urrcd, in which the only white delegate 'jail
ing from Orangcburg immortalized himself by
in assault upon 11 oswell T. Logan, Esq., As.i
dstant Editor of tho Charleston Mercury:
It appears that tho truth so plainly spoken
|by the M> rcun/, oonccrning the antecedents of
Albert Cr. Mackcy, tho father of the nhin
young man, w?? exceedingly distasteful to them
both; and in-order to take reyongo for tho ox
posuic, young Mackcy made an attack Upon
Mr. Logan, in'the1 very halls of the Convention
|tself, aud several blows passed botwee'n them.
1 A inorc cowardly attack could riothavb beon
made but any othor kind would not have been
characteristic of the plain young hero. t!t
was only in tho presence of a largo mob of
kindred spirits, ready to back him oven to
bloodshed and murder, that tho young hero at
tempted a satisfaction that he would riot have
dared to exact'oh fairer terms.
Tho result was that the Convention became
U la' loinuM to avii
a violont mob, crying out for blood and murdor,
and it was only by tho strenuous efforts of a
few of the most influential delegates, that vio
lence was prevented. Thcso efforts . not;only
quieted at lost tho angry crowd, but they,
soothed tho irate President, who is said to
havo vituperated "like a wrathy old w?mou."
Mr. Logan bohaved with tho' Wtosicom1
mcndiblo self-control) aud acted throughout
