! , , :.; 1., To the "Voter? of Oningcbarf, Edge- | field, Abbeville, Newberry, Lexing? ton, Richland otad K?.lrfl*ld. FEI.IX)W-CITIZK?3: After mneh"hoHilatfbu, I have consented to bo pat ia nomination for your Representative in the Congress ot the United State?. I publish iliis card, bd . ciuse thc District is" so large and the timo before tb? ejttj?y so thor;, that T notild not, if I Cusired, canvass the District^ If a canvass were possible, however, I do not think it becoming or desirable. In my judgment, thia ia no time "fi ir l?- scramble for oiScc. H ?ms io me uir.t no un? proper-? ly impressed witk the Vsolemnity 'of the crisis, and?the delicacy and importance of tho duties to be discharged, could seek the position merely for the gratification of per? sonal ambition. Ear myself, I declare that I nave no wish but to somre the State. In 1788, Sou*'i Carolina, through a con? vention of her people, became eoe of thc United States. She remained > member of thc Union until December, ?860, when, through another contention or her people, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced .* cd from tho United States, and with cer? tain other sister Statesentercdnito another government known as the Confed?rate Government. We lx-lk-ved tha^wo had the right to secede and. that oar security re? quired ita exercise in co-operation with our Sonthejn sisters. South Carolina, in 1852, proclaimed by solemn ordinance thc right of secession. >It had long; been the settled opinion of thc State that she wa:; sovereign and entitled to aU the rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government iu ordar tc secure her institutions and principles from great ovils, believed to l?o imminent. Se? cession was in the nature of jg proceeding ^ida limet. Ii was conceived ??he spirit o! solf-presorvation-not to injure others but to save ourselves. It cannot bo necessary V to say that I am one of those?wh g bche ve that it was an honest effort for honorable purposes. The United States Government demied the right of secession ? and wafjec war upon the Confederate States, whict stood upon the defensive. A terrible wai ? of invasion and desolation followed, alic f''*?fe finally the Confederate States were over? whelmed by force of numbers and dissolved .i'-"f;5'At the end of the war the State of Scutl: Carolina found tue Confederacy broken up. her citizens who survived the terrible ordeal exhausted and impoverished, bei - institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of th? United States. Under these painful cir? cumstances, the President of the United . . ?-States invited the States lately composing ?tiro Confederacy to rc-or^aniZc tbcir^ov ernments.and restore their connection witl the Constitution and Government of :h? United States, upon certain conditions, tin principal of which was an acquiesence ir the abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by th? hnlitary authorities The State, wisely in my judgment, respond ed favorably to" the "invitation. It is trac that tt?e mere issue of battle decs not prov< , right any more than did the old "wager o battle;" but it does pro?e power which car. not be disregarded. . A Provisional Gover .;oaor was appoint"d. who called another con Mention ofyrhe people, which has latel; . repealed tii/e. Ordinance of Secession, an< "by an article in tho State Constitution recognized the abolition of slavery and pro hibited its re-establishment. By repeal ing that of Secession, the Ordinance o 17ti8, through which ?oath Carolina be came a member, of the 'Union, was ipi facto revived, and we aro this day iii th Union precisely as we bf came in 1788 am remained up to 18G0. We arc now in a very anomalous position Relying upen the good faith and patrioti _ intentions of the President of tlie Uwtci fy States, we have done all that waa requirei of us to restore our old relations, to th Constitution and tlie Union; but still w % have not been received, into fellowship a Washington. That important part of th plan of reconstruction r?mains yet to b accomplished. It is understood that party will oppose the. President's plan c reorganizing tho States and giving to thoi equality of rights, and will insist upon ?ti farther despoiling and crushing thc State of thc South as conquered provinces. Thi radical fanatical party opposed our Jcavin the Union, and now they oppose our retan ing tc? it. When wc wero in the Union, the abused us on Account of slavery. Thc waged war upsn us because we triad t separate from them, and now that wo pr< pose to return without slavery, they sti object. In this emergency, the State neec the assistance of all har true men. Mac remains to be done, and not the least is 1 secure a prudent, faithful and patriot representation. in Congress, to assist ai forward tho work of restoration which tl State has commenced. I arrogate not r myself fitness to form part of sHch a re resontatiwn, but friends have urged me fe ward, and if you are willing to try me will give my best effort?. ? In some respects, we are at thc bcginnii of our policy, as if we were a new Sta about td assume new relations with o sister States; but we must never liiowot selves to forget that* in other respects aro an old State-a State haviug antci dents-a name to maintain and a history preserve. Whatever may betide us in "t uncertain future, the past, at ?east, is cure. South parolina has ncvu swen fi om the path of honor, as she conceived Wc have a record of which none need ashamed; and when any apostate son hers disclaims er disparages it, may i cast him out as unworthy of her. 1 devotion of every true son of thu St adheres in adversity as well as in pi pcrity-is lo/al through evil as well through good report; and iu the midst thc greatest misfortunes, "sticketb ck than a brother." * After the delegations from the South States shall have been received into ( gress.inany delicate and irnpoitaut du .will devolve upon them, especially in re enco to the freedmen of the South, and c ontrol which Congress, or a party in t \ gres?, may desiri still to exercise over theta- lt may not oe impruper? iu this connection, to say -thit, whilst I have ap? proved the coarse of ?the State m seeking I to restore hw old relations with the Govern-' ment of the United States, it has been upon the faith and expectation that the State, as soon as reconstructed, is to have entire control of the whole subject of her domes? tic affairs. The State, and the Sfatte alone, must bo left to decido to whom sha will give tho right- of suffrage or other political rights. Arrow code' noir must bo enacted to protect and govern the population lately made free-tc? prevent idleness, vagrancy, pauperism and crime. I am not prophet jj"c"""h t^',fl?r^"*e', wbctl"?r we ejin Hiirci-od, but I solemnly believe it will bc impossible to'live in the country at all unless the State has exclusjve cq^r?l of tl|ie whole snbject. I have hope that this will be permitted? and I think it is in accordance with our inte? rests and true policy* to sustain the Presi? dent and the Democratic party in their efforts to restore the Slates to their posi? ting! of equality and to give them equal rienits in the Government. With these views, if thc votera of tho District think that 1 can servo them or the State in this ej-itical emergency, I will do my best for them: but I have too high a j sense of my own incompetency* and ot the I difficulties and responsibilities of the posi j tion, to "solicit it bv a personal canvass.
