Gentlemen o f the Senate and Souse of Bep
- resentatives :
You have called me to preside as Chief
Magistrate of South Carolina, at a critical
juncture in our public affairs. 1 deeply
feel the responsibilities of the position I
am about to assume. .For seventy-three
years this State has been connected, by a
Federal compact, with co-States, under a
bond of union, for great national objects,
common to all. In recent years, there
has been a powerful party, organized up?
on principles of ambition and fanaticism,
?whose undisguised purpose is to divert
the Federal Government from external,
and. turn its power upon the internal, in?
terests and domestic institutions of these
States. They have thus combined a par?
ty exclusively in the Northern States,
whose avowed objects not only endanger
the peace, but the very existence, of near
one-half of the States of this Confedera?
cy. And in tho recent election for Pres?
ident and Vice President of these States,
they have carried the election upon
principles that make it no longer safe for
us to rely upon the powers of the Federal
Government, or the guarantees of the
Federal compact. This ia tho fjreat overt
act of the people in the Northern States,
at the ballot box, in the exercise of their
sovereign power at the polls, from which
there is no higher appeal recognized un?
der our system of government, in its or?
dinary and habitual operations. They
thus propose to inaugurate a Chief Mag?
istrate at the head of the army and I
navy, with vast powers, not to preside i
over the common interests and destinies
of all the States alike, but upon issues of
malignant hostility and uncompromising
war to be urged upon the rights, the in?
terests and the peace of half tho States
of this Union.
In the Southern States, there are two
entirely distinct and separate races, and
one has been held in subjugation to the
other, by peaceful inheritance from worthy
and patriotic ancestors, and all who know
the races well, know that it is the only
form of government that can preserve i
both, and administer tho blessings of civ- \
iiization with order and in harmony.
Anything tending tc change or weaken
this government, and the subordination
between the master and the slave, not
only endangers the peace, but the very
existence, of our society itself. "Wc have
for years warned the Northern people of
. ?the^danffers thev were producing by their
wanton and ftivfrW-; t'^w.^ We have
often appealed to our sister Staltes^e^lic^:
South to act with us in concert upon"
some firm and moderate system, by
which we might be able to wtve the Fed?
eral Constitution, and 3-ct feel safe under
the general compact of union; but we
could obtain no fair hearing from the
North, nor could wc see any concerted
plan proposed by an}- of our co-States of
the South calculated to make us feel safe
and secure. Under all these circumstan?
ces, we now have no alternative left but
to interpose our sovereign power, as an
independent State, to protect the rights
and ancient privileges of the people of
South Carolina. This State was one of
the original parties to the Federal com?
pact of Union. "We agreed to it, as a
State, under peculiar circumstances, when
we wero surrounded with great external
pressure, for purposes of national protec?
tion, and to advance the interests and
general welfare of all the States equally
and alike; and when it ceased to do this,
it is no longer a perpetual Union. It would j
be an absurdity to suppose it was a per-1
j>etual Union for our ruin.
The Constitution is a compact between
co-States and not with the Federal Gov?
ernment. On questions vital and invol?
ving the peace and safety of the parties
to the compact, from the very nature of
the instrument, cacti State must judge of
tho mode and measure of protection ne?
cessary for her peaco and the preserva?
tion of her local and domestic institutions.
South Carolina will, therefore, decido for
herself, and will, as she has a right to do,
resume her original powers of govern?
ment as an independent State, and as
such, will negotiate with other powers
such treaties, leagues or covenants, as she
may deem proper. I think I am not as?
suming too much, when I say that our
interests will lead her to open her ports
free to the tonnage and trade of all na?
tions, reserving to herself tho right to
discriminate only against those who may
bo our public enemies. She has fine har?
bors accessible to foreign commerce, and
she is in the centre of those extensive ag?
ricultural productions that enter so large?
ly into the foreign trade and commerce
of the world, and form the bases of those
comforts in food and clothing so essential
to the artizan and mechanic laoorers in
the higher latitudes, and which arc so es?
sential to the prosperity and success of
manufacturing capital in the North and
in Europe. I therefore may safely say
that it is for the benefit of all who may
be interested in commerce, in manufacto?
ries, and in the comforts of artizan and
mechanic labor everywhere, to make such
speedy and peaceful arrangements with
us as may advance the interests and hap?
piness of all concerned. There is one
thing certain, and I think it due to the
country to say bo in advance, that South
1
??Ksolved to assert her separate
Be; and as she acceded scpa
pe compact of Union, so she
assuredly secede separately and
alone, be the consequences -what they
may?and I think it right to say, with no
unkind feeling whatever, that on this
point there can be no compromise, let it
be offered from where it may. The is?
sues are too grave and too momentous to
admit of any counsel that looks to air
thing but direct and straight-forward in?
dependence. In the present emergency,
the firmest and most decided measures
are the safest and wisest. To our sister
States who are identified with us in inter?
est and in feeling, we will cordially and
kindly look for co-operation and for a fu?
ture union; but it must be after we have
asserted and resumed our original and in?
alienable rights and powers of sovereignty
and independence. We can then form a
government with them, having a common
interest with peoples of homogeneous
feelings, united together by all the ties
that can bind States in one common des?
tiny.
From the position we ma)' occupy to?
wards the Northern States, as Avell as
from our own internal structure of socie?
ty, the Government may, from necessity,
become strongly military in its organiza?
tion.
When we look back upon the inheri?
tance that we, as a State, have had in the
common glories and triumphant power of
this wonderful Confederacy, no language
can express the feelings of the human
heart, as wc turn from the contemplation
and sternly look to the great future that
opens before us. It is our sincere desire
to separate from the States of the North
in peace, and leave them todevelopc their
own civilization to their own sense of du?
ty and of interest. But if, under the
guide of ambition and fanaticism, they
decide otherwise, then be it so. We are
prepared for any event, and in humble
reliance upon that Providence who pre?
sides over the destiny of men and nations,
we will endeavor to do our duty faithful?
ly, bravely and honestly. I am now
ready to take the oath of office, and
swear undivided allegiance to South Car?
olina.
Washington Gossip.
There is considerable feeling here grow?
ing out of the well known fact that the
Arsenal at Charleston, containing seven?
ty-three thousand arms, is allowed to re?
main in the possession of a volunteer com?
pany of South Carolinians, who, it is said,
will continue to hohl them until demand?
ed by the secessionists. It is stated that
not more than a third of the above named
number ^constitute the quota belonging to
South Carolina, aud tb.-it the others riirht
fully belong to other States, imTTT lnui i ]n m_
recently removed to Charleston and de?
posited in that arsenal.
A messenger was despatched to Balti?
more this afternoon to ascertain if Rover
dy Johnson will accept the place of At?
torney General in the Cabinet.
Judge Black.the present Attorney Gen?
eral, has received the appoinmcnf of Sec?
retary of State, vice General Cass, resign?
ed. It is reported that Edwin Stanton,of
Pennsylvania, an eminent lawyer, now in
this city, will take the post of Attorney
General.
The appointment of Secretary Thomson
as Commissioner to North Carolina, may
render his resignation necessary. The
report that he has resigned is premature.
General Scott's intervention is preg?
nant with meaning, and the duties to be
assigned to him will end in good or evil.
It is believed he is in harmony with the
President, and that he has counselled a
wise and masterly inactivity in regard to
[ reinforcing the Federal troops at the
South. If it should so turn out that he is
to be sent South, it will be only in- the
character of pacificator, and in that capac?
ity he will be received with respect.
A melancholy state of facts surround
tho Post Office Department, so far as the
I domestic affairs of its principal officers are
concerned. Postmaster General Holt is
confined to his house with pneumonia,and
is considered quite dangerous. Assistant
Postmaster General King is depressed by
tho illness of his daughter, who is quite
low with typhoid fever. Mr. Dundas.
Second Assistant, is not expected to live,
having suffered for some time with a fatal
disease of the kidneys. Mr. Childs, who
has been acting for Mr. Dundas, was yes
day summoned from his duties by the
death of a child.
Adams, of Massachusetts, an honest Re?
publican member of the Crisis Committee,
said that if Dunn'samcndment wasintend
ed to lead Southern people to believe that
the Ecpublican party would back down
from any of its avowed principles, it was
a fraud, and that expectations of the Uni?
on based on such a belief, would be disap?
pointed. A great deal of the Committee's
time had been wasted in discussing slave?
ry. The probability now is that the Com?
mittee will be divided into three parts by
Monday or Tuesday?the Gulf men going
one way, New England men another, and
the Middle men another?and so, as eve?
rybody expected, the whole affair will
come to nought.
We no longer talk of the crisis here.
Revolution is the word; and as revolutions
; never take place without the shedding of
blood, men ai-o nerving themselves to the
inevitable course of events. Wild fellows
^ talk about taking a contract to whip Lin
coin out of Washington.
G eneral Gass' resignation, and the Pres?
ident's recommendation of a day of Nation?
al humiliation, fasting and prayer, are well
calculated to deepen the existing gloom.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Buc?
hanan, even by his enemies.
The Southern "Manifesto" went North
to the New York Herald, and not South
Tr> the Associated Press, whose agent con?
tends that it was refused him. ThisBarks
dale denies most positively. Evidently
there was a trick played to keep the Man?
ifesto back from the Southern people as
longas possible, and a notorious Virginian
was at the bottom of it.
Col. Walter Gwynn.?We have been
pleased to see, by a paragraph in the
South Carolinian, that our old and esteem?
ed fellow citizen, Col. Walter Gwynn, has
accepted the command of a military com?
pany in Columbia, S. C. The State is for?
tunate in securing the services of such an
officer. Gol. Gwynn was a graduate of
West Point, and served in the United
States Army fourteen years, part of which
time he was engaged in the Ordnance and
Artillery Corps, (at the school of gunnery
at Old Point Comfort.) but the greater
I portion in the Engineer Corps. For up?
wards of thirty years he has been actively
engaged as Civil Engineer, and stands in
the front rank of his profession in this
country. Col. Gwynn has also boon in
the volunteer service eighteen years, in
command of companies of all kinds of
arms, and when he left Virginia, was in
command of the First Regiment of Vir?
ginia Volunteers. In fine, it would be
difficult to find, among the citizens of
cither South Carolina or Virginia, an offi?
cer of great military experience and ac?
quirements?certainly, none of more calm
and lofty courage, and elevated and noble
character. Without any knowledge of
military matters, we should say that it is
of the most vital importance to troops to
give them a commander in whose military
abilities and judgment they can repose the
most entire confidence. Such a man is
Col. Gwynn. There is no military posi?
tion in the service of South Carolina, or
any other State, which he would not
grace; whilst the rare virtues of his pri?
vate character must insure universal con?
fidence and respect.?Richmond Dispatch.
Indian Summer of Life.?In the life
of the good man there is an Indian sum?
mer more beautiful than that of the sea?
son; richer, sunnier, and more sublime
than the most glorious Indian summer
the world ever knew?it is the Indian
summer of the soul. When the glow of
youth has departed, when the warmth of
middle age of one is gone, and the buds
and blossoms of spring arc changing to
tltv> HC!??*ifnd yeiiow loaf. Then the mind of
-the good man, still ripe and vigorous, re?
laxes its labors, and the memories of a
well-spent life gush forth from their se?
cret foundations, enriching, rejoicing and
fertilizing; then the trustful resignation
of the Christian sheds around asweel and
hoi}' warmth, and the soul, assuming a
heavenly lustre, is no longer restricted
by the narrow confines of business, but
soars beyond the winter of hoary age.
and dwells peacefully and happily upon
that bright spring and summer which
await him within the gates of paradise
evermore. Let us strive for and look
trustingly forward to an Indian summer
like this.
Mississippi.?1 n the Legislature of 31 is

on the quest ion of secession. The only
division of sentiment was to when the

the Union. Three members (represent?
ing Yieksburg and Warren county) only
were opposed to im ma I late secession.
These gentlemen desired delay in order
that the other Southern States might be

Position of Ex-Governor Wise.
Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, having
been written to by a gentleman of Co?
lumbus, Ga., to define what he means
by "fighting in the Union" replies as
follows:
1st. If a Sovereign State is judge of the
infraction as well as the mode and man?
ner of redress, s he may remain in the
Union to resent or resist wrongs as well
as do so out of the Union.
2d. If other States have infracted the
Union, not she, the State wronged,'is
bound to defend the Constitution and
Union against those who have infracted
the one and threatened the other. Logi?
cally, the Union belongs to those who
have kept, not those who have broken its
convenants.
3d. The Union is not an abstraction ; it
is a real, substantial thing, embracing
many essential and vital political rights
and proper tie.--, it has nationality, lands,
treasure, organization of army and navy,
ships, dock-yards, arsenals, etc.. etc., etc.
Shall we renounce these rights and pos
sesMoiis because wrong-doers attempt to
deprive us of other rights? Is it not cow?
ardly to renounce one right to save anoth?
er*' Arc these rights not as precious as
the mere right of property in negroes?
But,
4th. If you secede, you not only re?
nounce the Union and its professions, but
you fail to unite your own people, because
3'ou do renounce these rights. Wake a
man up to destroy the Union and consti?
tution, and he will stare at 3*011 and turn
away. But tell him that the constitution
is infracted and the Union threatened by
black republicans, and call him to aid 3-011
in defending both against those who
would destro}' both, and he will act heart?
ily with you.
5th. Then how is this to be done??
The 3d clause of the 10th section of the
1st article of the Constitution of the Uni?
ted State.; permits a State to keep troops
and ships of war in time of peace, and to
engage in war, when actually invaded, or
when in such imminent danger as will not
admit of delay. Now. are we not actually
invaded? Is our danger not imminent?
Does it admit of delay ? May not a sov?
ereign Slate so decide ?
6th. And what is the difference? Will
it not be revolution a.:d war in either
event ?
1 say, then, stich to all your rights, re?
nounce none, light for all and save all!
Yours, truly, &c, Henry A. Wise.

Another Slaver Seized.
Another slaver has been seized by our
men-of-war on the African station. She
is the brig Bonita. of New York, and was
taken off the Congo River by the United
States -team frigate San Jaj.-i.nto, October
10.
After a gallant chase, in which steam
proved its superiority over canvass, and
after several shots had been fired at her.
the prize gave up the attempt and yield?
ed.
Considerable evasion was used to shift
the responsibility of command, but that
the game was up became evident irr a mo?
ment, the crew of the slaver crying out
faintly toward the hatch: ?? You've got
'em; they're down there!" As fine a
cargo of darkies as the most ambitious
j trader could desire was then introduced
to the new comers. Males and females
were perfectly naked, but in good health
ami clean. They had only been out about
2-1- hours, ami were fresh from Puutu tie
Lonha. the chief slave depot on the sta?
tion, where it is said there are no less than
seventeen --factories" or exchanges, in
which the negroes for sale arc concentrat?
ed.
The Saii Jactnto kept alongside the
Bonita, towing her all nigh I ; had the slave
galleys set nil. and next morning sent her
to .Monrovia to land the 718 slaves, who
are to be taken charge of- by the United
States Government Agent.
The slaves, notwithstanding their num?
bers had been put on board the Bon?
ita in the space of 15 minutes!
The parties on board the slaver made a
desperate attempt to break the San Jacin
to's propellor, 113- throwing overboard fur?
niture and other materials likely to impede
her progress; the cabin had been made
destitute of "fittings" to accomplish their
treacherous design. Plenty of rice and
all sorts of provisions were on board.
The Bonita is a splendid brigantinc of
about 212 tons burden. Her ownership
had not transpired. She cleared from
New York on the 16th of July, with pa?
pers for St. Thomas and a market, and
took forty-seven days to go to the coast;
steering direct from the last named port
to Punta de Lonha, where she gets the
blacks.

South Carolina Conference.
The South Carolina Conference of the
M. E. Church adjourned on Tuesday,
evening. December 10. The following is
the report of the Committee appointed on
- the state of the country."
The Committee appointed to consider
the duty of the Conference in reference to
the interests of the Church in connection
with the present condition of the country,
beg leave to report, that we recommend
to the Conference the adoption of the fol?
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, 1. That the South Carolina
Conference, while they feel that the great
work of the Christian ministry demands,
and should ever receive, their faithful and
devoted attention, and should forever ab?
solve them from any active participation
in the strifes of the political arena, never?
theless can never forget the high allegi?
ance which they owe to the claims of
their country, the land of their birth.
2. That while we deplore the necessity
that exists for a separation from the Fed?
eral Union, yet in view of all the history
of the past, the perils of the present, and
the threatened wrongs of the future, we
feel bound by honor and duty to move in
harmony with the South, in resisting
Northern domination.
o. That as faithful sons of the South,
and with the State with whose destiny
we are identified, wo shall ever pray for
the guidance and blessing of the God of
providence and grace, who has so long ex?
ercised his gracious protection over the
homes of our fathers?and that this Con?
ference tender to the State of South Car?
olina their encouragements, their sympa?
thies, their affections, their intercessions
with Heaven in her behalf, their all, sub?
ject only to the paramount claims of God
upon them.

Stoi? the Rouge.?In the last issue of
the Kingstrcc Stitr, was a notice of a
horse thief, whom we have good reason to
believe, has made his way into this dis?
trict, and been practicing upon our citi
, zens. Some three weeks since a gentle
! man in tho neighborhood of Manning tra
i , ,
ded for a horse with a stranger, and a few
days afterward some parties from Dar?
lington came over and claimed it, produc?
ed the proof, and received the horse from
the one swindled. Oil the 9th instant,
some gentlemen from Kingstrcc came up
to the neighborhood Manning and took
forcibly from the possession of Mr. II.
Husbands, a horse he had traded for a
few days previously. Mr. Husbands says
the man with whom he traded had the
appearance of a drover; he wore thick
boots and his pants turned up; his pants,
vest and coat were of the same material,
brown cloth with a large stripe down the
leg of the pants; a soft black hat with a
cockade on the side of it. The horse was
offered publicly in the streets of our vil?
lage. The thief represents himself as a
drover, out of money, is of medium height,
and swarthy complexion, with a little
beard upon his chin.
Since writing the above, it is rumored
that another citizen of our district has
lost a horse?stolen probably, and by the
same individual.
We make this extended notice that not
only our own citizens, but those of other
districts may be upon the look out for the
horse num. Wonder if those who have
suffered by him don't wish they had

JAMES D. NANCE & CO.,
PROPRIETORS,
JAMES D. NANCE,
EDITOR.
Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in Soulli Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandize. The
CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishss one of the
best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as
Newbcfry District is concerned, while it enjoys a
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements are certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con?
tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to iuoko his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and fire-sido
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which tho Confederacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation
States" have been the only sufferers?that the
Union of these States is no longer a policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is "the cohesive power of public
plunder"?the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate of the Union al
any price.
TERMS.?The paper will be regularly mailed te
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the felr
lowing reasonable rates of subscription:
One copy, per year, - . - $2.00
Three copies, - ? .- - 5.00
Five copies, - 8.00
Ten copies, - - - - 15.00
Twenty copies, - 25.00
JJgf* The money upon these terms always to b
paid iu advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearages
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrip?
tion price is received; unless- at the option of the
proprietors, when the circumstances call for a dif?
ferent course.
AH business communications should be addressed
to the " Conservatist, Newberry, S. C." Commu?
nications intended for publication should be ad?
dressed to the " Editor of the Conservatist."
