FELLOw-GmzENs: After much hesitation, j. have consented tn he put in nomination for your Repr?sent?t ire in tho Congress ot tlic United States. I publish this card, be? cause the District is so large and tho time before the election sr? short that I could not, if I desired, canvass the District. If a canvass were possible, however, I do not think it Tiftcoming or desirable. In my judgment, this is notinic for a scramble for office. It seems to ni? that no one prope r? ly impressed with the solemnity of thc crisis, and Che delicacy and importance of the duties to be discharged, could ?eel: the position merely lorine gratification .f por sor.al ambition. For myself, I declare that I have no wish but to iurve the State. In 1788, South Carolina, through a con? vention of her people* became ono of th . United States. She remained a member rf the' Union until December, 1880, when, through another convention of her people, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced? ed from the United States, and with cer? tain other sister States enterod into another , government known as the Confederate Government. We believed that we had tho right to secede and, thaV.our security re? quired its exercise ii: co-operation with our Southern sister?. South Carolina, in 1852, j proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right ? of secession. It had long been the settled opinion of tin; State that she was sovereign I and entitled to all the rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in order to secure her institutions and principles from I great evils, believed to be imntinent. Se ' cession was in the nature of a proceeding quin timet. It waseonceived in the spirit of self-preservation-not to injure, others but j to save ourselves. It cannot be necessary to say that I ain ono of thoso who believe that it was an honest effort for honorable ' purposes. The United States Government denied the right of secession and waged war upon tho Confederate Slates, which stood upon the defensive. A terrible war of invasion and desolation followed, ami ? ?i>?Io th? Confederate States were over? whelmed by fof co of numbers and dissolved. At thc end of tho v.-ar the State o? South Carolina found the Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived the terrible ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of the United States.- Under these painful cir? cumstances, the President of the United Stale s iuvited the States ? lately composing the Confederacy to re-organize then- gov? ernments and restore their connection with the Constitution and Government of the United States, 117101? certain conditions, tho principal of which was air aeqniesence in the abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by the military authorities. The State, wisely in my judgment, respond? ed favorably to the invitation. It is true that the mero issue of battle does not prove right any more than did the old "wager of battle;" but it does prove power which can? not ho disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of the people, which has lately repealed the Ordinanc e of Secession, .incl by an article in the State Constitution, recognized the abolition of slavery and pro? hibited its re-establishment, liv repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance of 1788, through which South C&rolina be? came a member of the Union, was ipso facia revived, and we are this day in the Union .precisely as we became in 1783 and remained up to 1860. * We ari! now in .a very anomalous position. Helving Upon tho good faith and patriotic intentions of the President of the United States, we have done all that was required of us to rowtor*) our old relations to the Constitution and the Union; but still we have not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important'part of the plan of reconstruction remains yet to be accomplished. It is understood that a party will oppose the President's plan of ' reorganizing the States and giving to them equality of rights, and will insist upon still farther"despoiling and crushing the States of the South as conquered provinces. This radical fanatical party opposed our leaving the Union, and now they oppose our return? ing to it. When we were in the Union, they abused ns on account ot slavery. They waged war upon un. because we tried to separate from them, and now that we pro? pose to return without slavery, they still object. In this emergency, the State needs the assistance of all her true men. Much remains to be done, and not tho least is to secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist and forward tho work of restoration which the State has commenced. I arrogate not to myself litncss to form part of such a rep- j resentation, but friends haw urged me for- j ward, and if yon are willing to try me, I j ?will give my best efforts. In HOMO respects, we are at the beginning ! of our policy, as if we wero a new State I about to assume new relations with our | sister States; but we must never allow our- I selves to forget that in other respects we | are an old State-a Statu having anteee- ' dents-a name to maintain and a history to preserve. Whatever may betide us in the j uncertain future, the past, at least, is se cure. South Carolina has never swerved : from tho path of honor, as she conceived it. We have a record of which none need be ashamed; and v-beu any apostate son ef he;s disclaims or disparages it, may she cast him out as unworthy of her. ' The devotion of every true son of the State adheres in- adversity as well as ii*, pros- | pority-ia loyal through evil as well as ! through good report; and in thc- midst of j the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh closer than a brother.'' 'After the.delegations from thc- Southern Status shall have Leen received into Con? gress, many delicate and important duties j will devolve upon them, especially in refer- ' euee to the freedmen of the South, and the ? control which Congress, or a party in Con- ! gross, may desire still te exercise over! them. It may not bs improper, in this connection, to rtay that, whilst I have ap? proved the course of the State in seeking to restore her old relations with th? Govern? ment of the United States, it has been upon the faith and expectation that thoState, as soon as reconstructed, is to have entire control of the whole subject of her domes? tic affairs. The State, and the SUte alone, must be left to decide to whom she will give the right of suffrage or other political rights. A new code ryiir nhist be enacted to protect and govern the population lately made free-to prevent idleness, vagrancy, pauperism anet crime. 1 am not prophet enough to foresee whether wc can succeed, but I solemnly believfe it will be impossible; to live in the country at all unless thc State has exclusive control of the whole subject. 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 tin: Democratic party in their efforts to restore the States to their posi? tion of equality and to giro them equal rights in the Government, With these views, if the voters of the District think that I cm serve them or the State in this critical emergency, I will do my best for them; but I have too high a sense of my own incompetency and ol the difficulties and responsibilities of the posi? tion, to solicit it by a personal canvass. - SAMUEL MCGOWAN.
