Like most lacii of distinction, Mr. Boylston was the architect of liis own fortune v From the time he entered College certainly until tlie day of liis death, ho was a man of labor. As a citizen be vm publio spirited and patriotic? discharging all the duties of life, and especially loving his neighbor-as .himself. He ?rui remnrkcbly fitted for p Leiridaior, for he seemed to baV$~an intuitive.bnowledge>of the forma of -order and all kinds of parliamentary proceedings. His judgment was.clear anij his memory retentive. When calenders and journals failed he was refergjd lo as infallible. As a representative of the people he was fond of popularity, but it was thot popularity, which follow', which is the consequence and not the *notiv* pf action He had*? deep scorn for the mere demagogue and trickster in politics, lu the noh!e professing to which he devoted his lie. i.o war * mndftl. Quick, clrnr. discrimina ting af'd learned, to ao analytieal mi tic] and full memory be added ej Bltot ami industry, the (liidispen?ible qualities- of a great lawyer. Above the petty arte of the pettifogger, lie relied rfX'luaively upon justice and law, as eluci* dated bv argument and coforc*d by eloquence. His pleadiuga were scieirtifio'and his compb?rtion ^leganl. His propositions were etuted with that condensed brevity which indicates clearness of compreheneion, and hi* otvle fulGlI e<t the requisites oI Mr. Wirt's short rule apt*, distinct*, ornate. If we were required to sav what, was th? distinguishing rharacte'rioiic of his mipd, we would say quickness of apprehension and reteni ivenes* of memory. But'it wa(i aJ a friend that Mr. I^ylaton was most'appreciated by those who knew him. He had a freshness *ud tenderness of heart more captira Ini? #Hmi il>? crpmt.pflt nhilitien. That rusliin<7 warmth winch is so charming in a buy nsver lcfthii^*?2tli?'lieart never gievy older. tion seemed necessary for him. He was not happy without some <in? to coufide in. The joys of social life he valued far above those of ambition.' His sentiments were as lasting as the'y we're warm. He was faithful in all relations #nd in friendship as true as the needle to the pole. His domestic relations were pf the lender?st and most endearing kind. None knew the treasures of h|s heart as wall' aa the stricken family. He'w&a a devoted son, * foDjJ trusted.brother, "and language fails to sxpresa the tenderness, delicacy and sweetness of his character in therslations'of husband 'and futh er; bat we will cot invade the sacred privacy whioh coreft the unspeakable grief of tbe be* rieved wife and orphaned children.

We may say of (he death of Mr. Boylston, what be, quoting from a very great ui^u. onci said in bis place in the Legislature of auelher cltu-dmute who - had fallen in the morning of life: 'iTbe worthy gentleman who bas J>eVn BLatched from us at the outxet of his publio career. 0ud iu the midst ?f bis usefultie?8, whilst 1118 uepncu WHO no wunu biiu iiib nupci, as eager 08 our?, *ia? feulingly told lift what elindowk we are. and what, shadows we puraua."

I decline that I have no wish bat to serve the State. In 1788, South Crrolitin, through a corivention of her pcopl'e, became one of the United States. She remained a member of tho Uniou until December* 1800, wjieh through another convention of her people, she repeuj;fd the Ordinance of 1788. sccedod from the United States, and with certain other sister States en tejred into another government known us the Confederate Government. We believed that we'liad the right to accede and that oaf security required iU exfercise in co-operation with our Southern sisten. Soutlt Carolina, in 1652, proclaimed by soleipn ordinance'he right of aecesaioD. It had long been the Belt left oSfti ion of the State that-iho was sovereign and enti tied to all the rights of sovereignty. She asaerted self government in order to secure her institutions and principles from great evilt>, believed to bn imminent. Secession was in the nature of a proceeding quia timet. It was con ceiveu iu wie spirit 01 sen-preservation?not to injure others bot save ourselvef. It cannot be necessary to say that I rtm oue of those who believed it was an iionest effort fur honorable purposes, The United St ates Government denied the right of seoeu on and waged war upon the Confederate States, which stood upon the defensive* A terrible war of invasion and desolation followed, and filially the Confederate States were overwhelmed by force ol numbers and dissolved. At the end of the war the State of South Carolina found the Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived the terriblo ordeal exhausted aild impoverished, her institutions destroyed, and the whole countryoccupied by the military forces of the United.States. Under these painful circumstances the President of the "United States invited tlid -States lately composing the Confederacy to reorganise'their government* nn<I restore their connection with the Coutlilutii/fl and Government of the United States, npon certain conditions the principal of which was an acquies cence in the nbolitior* of slavery, which had been- accomplished by the'military authorities. The State, wisely in my judgment, responded favorably to the invitatigu.

By repealing that of Secession,. the Ordinance of 1788, through whiuh youth Carolina became a member of the Union, wai ijito facto revived, and we are this day in lite Uiiion precisely as we boeamo iu 17bS aud remained op ' to I860. We are now in a very anomalous position, llelyine-upon the good faith and patriotic in ten lions of ihe President of th? United States, we have done all that was required .of us to restore b'ir old relations to the Constitution and the Union ; but still we bave not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important pattofthe plan of reconstruction remain* yet to be ac'aompleihed. It is understood, that a party will oppose the President's I'lOu U| icuigaui^l^ Mitt CUSVQ8 ADU glVlD{^ lO them equality of rights, and will insist upon still farther deapoiliog and crushing the States of tR* South as conquered provinces. Thia radical fanatical part} opposed our leaving the Uni'jn. rfnd now they oppose ouf returning to it. J Whan we were 10 the Uoio#, thoy abused - us on account of slavery.
