that iltre is 110 danger to tie per ons

"t lre of, a single cart ri.gre"--that is,
II t ther has boen oli resistance to
the military authority, requiring tho
uke of th ile tnited Stitles&; s1hiury to
sn press it. lie descriles correctly
the order preservid in our citis by
wvir pldie', to lie assisted doubtless,
if icessary, by tha military authori
ties. This is all true ; bit Colonel
Willard does not assert, "'that in this
St at e at least /' oul prop i /y a re as

pIce, th records of our courts of jus
tice, and the daily narratives of tho
public press, would hav( disproved his
assertion.
Befl'ore the twar, thero never was a
moro orderly and contented popula
lion, than the negro poIpulation in
this Stato. There was no military to
keep them in sibjection. Oil our

intervening, withouit a Criminal court
being conivenled to try an o~fonder.
Thefts weiro rare ; ani the higher
clas.3s of crimos eareely ever took
place. (I a river, with Ivlichl wo aro
aC lainted, oin which there were somno
three thoutsand slaves cultivating rice,
a single case of muriler occurred and
was tried in thirty years. On a plan

oI it, only Iwo fights oveei'rrd in ten

that tilk ing tle State at large-South
Carolita eompni'd f'avnraibly with any
Stato in the United States, in icr
criminal statisties. But what is the
caso now ? It is u1less to o:t 3 in

hiave been0 more CimuOs committed bly

Clman~cinfataiont, thani in anly twenty
yea i's of the previous existence of the

t rary to all faet, and is clclated to
inisiter' to t ho falso complacency
with whichd Abol itioists conitemplato

the incoroaso of deostitutionl,9 andi a

of a policy' being evil amongst men,
emancipation is a gigantic folly, only
